High ropes park at the head of the valley
Somewhat hidden at the end of the Hinterglemm valley, Europe’s largest high ropes park is a real highlight for active summer vacationers. Over a total length of more than eight kilometers, there are up to 200 stations and 30 zip lines to pass in the shade of the high treetops. The levels, which you can choose anywhere, are between three and 40 meters high. Open from mid-May to mid-October.
Tubing on the Saalach
Tubing on the Saalach is all about wild action in the water. You paddle through the river on the large tubing hoops and master one or two obstacles. As a guest of the Hotel Barbarahof, you will receive the right equipment as part of the weekly program. You decide whether you prefer the easy Saalach-Funtour or the moderately difficult Saalach-Sportivtour. Age limits: from 12 years (easy) and from 14 years (medium).
Mega Flying Fox in Glemmtal
With the Mega Flying Fox you cross the Glemmtal valley four times. On six zip lines that are up to 120 meters high. You can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Flying must be so beautiful! Open from May to October.
Canyoning in Saalbach
Around one kilometer from the parking lot at the end of the valley in Hinterglemm, you can experience heart-stopping moments while canyoning in the gorge. The course is full of challenges: Slides. Jumping. Abseiling. None of this is for the faint-hearted! Duration of the tour: three to four hours. Equipment included. Open in July and August.
Jump-and-slide park on the Saalach
The world’s first jump-and-slide park is located at the source of the Saalach. High jumps are the order of the day there. Whether from the eight-meter-high jump tower, in the trampoline area or on the freestyle ramp. The destination is always the same: the cool water of the river.
Glemmy Offroad Park in Viehhofen
The Glemmy Offroad Park is a 60,000 square meter area for all those who love action on four wheels. Drive through the adventurous course on a quad bike or rally kart and have fun racing with your fellow competitors.
