Combine exceptional and unusual sporting activities with a holiday in Innsbruck.

Find your adventure!

Do you opt for excitement over relaxation? In Innsbruck, a multitude of adventures await! Experience the region from a bird's eye view: with scenic flights, paragliding and hot air ballooning. Adrenaline junkies can bungee jump from the almost 200-metre-high Europabrücke bridge. Or do you love the water? Then our tips are: kayaking, canyoning and diving. We also recommend a ride down the Olympic ice track in Igls, either in a guest bobsleigh with a professional pilot, head first on a skeleton sled or in a wok.

Is your dream adventure a little less adrenaline fuelled? If so, why not play a game of skittles? People have been enjoying bowling fun at the local inns and folk festivals for centuries. Or take a Ziesel out for a ride and put your driving skills to the test on one of these open-fronted mini-excavators. There are, of course, also plenty of opportunities to enjoy the classic mini-golf. Or if you are looking for a bad weather activity, check out laser tag, escape rooms and billiards.

Special adventures in winter

Skeleton

Wok Race

German TV host Stefan Raab first created the Wok Race. It is a race down the ice track but sitting in Asian cooking pots instead of on a luge or bobsleigh. Very funny for spectators and racers alike!

Ziesel in Kühtai

Take off

The chance to explore Innsbruck from the air is particularly appealing. Climb into a plane or a hot air balloon – or go paragliding and feel the wind in your face. The perspective is unique, the views too. On the next page, we'll provide more information about the options available in Innsbruck.

Dive in

Is water your element? Then dive into the many possibilities around Innsbruck. Pristine gorges and rivers are perfect for canyoning, for example. You can also experience white water in a kayak or on a rafting adventure. And did you know that you can surf on the River Inn? Even in the city!

Canyoning

Kayaking

Helmet on, grab your paddle and off you go – down the rivers of the Alps. You can experience white water up close on a kayaking adventure in the area around Innsbruck.

Rafting

Lots of fun in a big boat: if canyoning is a bit too daring for you and kayaking is a bit too lonely, why not try rafting? Several people sit in the same boat and navigate the currents and rapids together as they paddle down the river. Teamwork is vital and is rewarded with heaps of fun.

Surfing the Inn

Innsbruck is an unusual kind of surfing town. Instead of palm trees and metre-high surf, the green waters of the River Inn await – and you surf at the heart of the city!

Let go

If someone jumped off a bridge, would you do it too? We say, it depends on the bride. If you're talking about the Europabrücke bridge, then definitely! At almost 200 metres from the ground, this is a bungee jump for adrenaline junkies. The Europabrücke bridge is part of the Brenner motorway, which runs from Innsbruck to Italy, and it is one of the most spectacular locations for bungee jumping in the world. This jump is not for the faint of heart – but an absolute must for daring adventurers!
