Rafting on the Ziller

By rubber raft with a guide down the river

On the Ziller near Mayrhofen, rafting companies run trips in summer, including Actionclub Zillertal and the Freiluftakademie. You travel in a rubber raft with a qualified guide and work together as a team; the well-known stretch runs from Kreuzach near Mayrhofen to Hippach. Water level and difficulty depend on the season and the weather.

There are gentler family trips, usually from about 6 years, and livelier ones with a higher minimum age, roughly 10 to 12 years. You will almost certainly get wet. Book ahead with the provider and read the age and health conditions.
