Along the way, you’ll travel by bus to Mary’s Bridge (when the shuttle bus is operating and the bridge is open) for excellent photo views of the castle. The visit includes a guided tour inside Neuschwanstein itself and a return to the village of Hohenschwangau by horse-drawn carriage from the castle foot.

On this small-group tour to Neuschwanstein, you will step into the storybook setting of the region’s famous fairytale castle.

Rafting on the Inn is a classic Tyrolean experience. The Imst Gorge has set the standard for the outdoor scene for decades, and this trip follows a 14-kilometre stretch of river towards Innsbruck through some of the area's most recognised river scenery. Along the way you'll meet famous waves such as the Memmingerwalze and the Rohrbrückenschwall, which provide the highlights of the run. You don't have to be a pro to join in — after the big waves the river opens out into calmer stretches where you'll relax. There is also time for playful moments on the water and for taking in the views of the Tyrolean mountains as you travel downstream.

This beginner canyoning experience prepares you for water fun in a canyon and builds the skills you’ll need for more advanced gorges, including those in the Allgäu and Bavaria. You’ll be given all the necessary information and guided preparation so you feel ready before the tour begins. After an initial safety briefing at the car park, you’ll be fitted with personal safety equipment. A short climb and further safety instructions will follow. You’ll then learn to rappel by yourself — independent abseiling is a key focus, since good abseiling skills form the basis for the more advanced canyoning tours. Once the abseiling exercise is complete, the water section begins. Along the way you’ll experience jumping, sliding and more abseiling, while also enjoying the peace and wildness of the canyon environment.

From the water you will see the landscape of the Allgäu and Lechtal Alps from a fresh angle. The experience will focus on enjoying fun and active time in harmony with nature as you move along the river and take in the surrounding alpine scenery. Along the way you will get to explore quieter stretches of water and feel a different perspective on the valleys and peaks. You will receive a detailed introduction to paddle techniques and the appropriate equipment will be provided. Highly trained guides and first-class, tested kit will support you throughout, and the provider guarantees the safety you demand. The emphasis will be on a safe, engaging time on the water where learning and action sit naturally alongside enjoying the natural setting.

In winter, when the Allgäu mountains are blanketed in white, exploring the area on snowshoes offers a calm, close-to-nature way to enjoy the season. You will move away from beaten tracks and into a peaceful, untouched winter landscape, taking in the snowy slopes and open mountain scenery as you go. Snowshoeing is relatively easy to learn, so the experience includes a short introduction to the equipment and basic technique. After that briefing, you will roam through the pristine surroundings at a relaxed pace. Along the way you will appreciate the quiet of the snow-covered mountains and the simple freedom of walking where few have walked since the last snowfall.

You will see Rottachsee and the surrounding mountains from a different perspective on this short, nature-based outing. Along the way, you will take in scenic views of the lake and the mountain landscape, enjoying a unique way to experience the local environment. The trip is described as a little excursion, with a focus on the natural setting rather than a detailed itinerary. People of all ages—from very small children to older adults—have fun on this trip.

All safety equipment will be provided by the operator, so you can focus on the views and the experience.

This canyoning tour is suitable even if you have no prior experience — the provider guarantees it will be an unforgettable experience. You’ll take part in an adventure that’s designed for newcomers as well as more confident participants. A certified canyoning guide will give a safety talk before you set off.

Throughout, your guides will look after safety and technique so you can focus on the experience.

In the Alps you will follow routes that lead through impressive gorges, combining moments of action with close encounters with the mountain landscape.

Along the way you will experience nature intensively and explore the dramatic features of the gorge terrain. Tours run in small groups so your guide can respond individually to each participant and keep the adventure personal and safe. State‑certified guides will lead you; they are highly trained and passionate about the region.

This leisurely hike circles the world-famous Ettal Monastery and turns a gentle walk into a light-hearted treasure hunt. You’ll follow wide, easy paths that are simple to manage at a relaxed pace. If you have your smartphone with you, it will show where small treasures are hidden along the route, adding a playful element as you move through the landscape. Along the way you’ll enjoy the surrounding nature and the calm of the monastery setting. It is possible to visit the basilica, which sits in the centre of the monastery buildings, so you may pause there as part of your outing. The walk also offers a chance to meet other people who enjoy being outdoors—you’ll likely exchange conversation and share the experience as you go.

This experience features our tube trackers — anything but the clumsy, car‑hose style equipment you may have seen with other providers. The trackers are short, agile and lively, so you’ll notice a different feel from the moment you begin. They are designed to be nimble and responsive, which makes the motion more direct and the whole experience more engaging. As you move through the activity, you may appreciate the compact size and quick reactions of the tube trackers. That liveliness often translates into more playful, dynamic moments rather than slow or cumbersome handling. You’ll spend less time worrying about awkward equipment and more time enjoying the flow and fun of the experience.

See the highlights of Bavaria on a day trip from Füssen and its surroundings, accompanied by an expert local guide. You’ll tour two of the region’s most famous castles — Neuschwanstein and Linderhof — and hear the stories that shaped them. Along the way, your guide will explain the life and tastes of King Ludwig II, the shy yet extravagant 19th-century ruler who made these fairy-tale residences his homes. The trip also includes visits to the idyllic villages of Hohenschwangau and Oberammergau. As you move through these picturesque towns, you’ll get a sense of the local setting that inspired the castles and learn more about the region’s history and culture from a local perspective. The experience combines landmark viewing with expert commentary, giving you context and background as you explore Bavaria’s most famous sites.

This tour will take you back in time as you discover the gems of Füssen's Old Town. You'll follow an app-led route, listening to stories covering 2000 years of history. As you walk down the cobbled streets, you'll take in colorful architecture, grand patrician houses, medieval homes on Reichenstrasse and views of the Alps in the distance. Some of the landmarks you'll pass include the Benedictine Monastery of St. Mang, the Franciscan Monastery, Theresien Bridge, the Chapel of St. Nikolaus, Kaiser-Maximilian-Platz and more.

At the entrance to Ötztal you’ll find a 20,000 square metre water park that’s built for action rather than casual swimming. This isn’t a place for non-swimmers or infants; instead you’ll climb, blob, slide at top speed and jump from a variety of purpose-built features. It’s a variety-packed water park for miles around, aimed at anyone looking for high-energy water fun. As you move through the park you’ll come across a large Blob, a 27 m high Water Ramp designed for Surfslides and Freeskiers, and a 27 m high Cliff Diving Tower. There are also several slides, including a High Speed Slide and a Slip’N’Slide, so you’ll get a mix of fast runs, big drops and jumping challenges. All activities and any special equipment required are included in the entry fee, so you can try the main attractions without extra charges.
