#1 Seeing the world from above \u2013 paragliding in Werfenweng<\/h2>\n

While you fly down to the starting point during a skydive, you find your way back to the starting point yourself when paragliding. But anticipation and adrenaline levels rise in equal measure on the way, especially when you can watch others paragliding before your own flight. In SalzburgerLand, paragliders like to meet on Werfenweng\u2019s local mountain, the Bischling. No wonder, as here they find the ideal conditions for their passion. On the Bischling not only the thermals are right, but it is also in a protected position which catches the wind a little. And there is definitely something in terms of a view. From the Gosaukamm and the Bischofsm\u00fctze to the Grossglockner, not only does your canopy glide gently down into the valley here, but also your view. What does it look like when the Werfenweng sky calls? Here, we show you.<\/p>\n

#2 Record-breaking climbing tour \u2013 climbing the dam wall of the high mountain reservoirs<\/h2>\n

At around 2,040 metres above sea level, we are on equal footing with your adrenaline level. Up here are the Kaprun high mountain reservoirs which are embedded like two fjords in the midst of the Hohe Tauern in the Alps. Electricity has been generated here for many decades using hydropower. But not only that, as on the Via Ferrata MoBo 107 a load of excitement is generated as it leads to the top over 240 metres directly on the dam wall. As soon as the climbing harness has been applied and the carabiners have been fastened, you take a small flying fox to the entrance of the world\u2019s highest via ferrata on a dam. A 70 metre thick concrete wall now separates you from over 80 million cubic metres of water. If that\u2019s not impressive enough for you, why not tackle the demanding \u201cswing\u201d or enjoy the view of the surrounding peaks at the top of the dam. What does climbing on the dam feel like?

#3 Courses, zip lines, tests of courage \u2013 let off steam in Europe\u2019s largest high ropes park<\/h2>\n

We stay with climbing, but this time change the scene to the largest high ropes park in Europe. Off to Saalbach Hinterglemm! If you are ready for a mini-adventure right on arrival, jump on the valley train at the parking lot in Lengau and chug in a bright red engine over the forest road to the end of the valley, where the high ropes park is located. After a short induction, it\u2019s time to get down to work. You should plan enough time for this, as 200 different stations at a height of up to 40 metres and 30 zip lines await you over a total length of over eight kilometres. And for those who still want more, swing on the Mega Flying Fox and thunder down at up to 80 km\/h at a height of 120 metres above the forest floor. Any Questions? By the way, there are also many other high ropes parks in SalzburgerLand.<\/p>\n

#4 Wild, wilder, Wildkogel \u2013 Whoosing down to the valley on mountain carts<\/h2>\n

From the mountain down to the valley you can hike, take the cable car or whoosh down on a mountain cart with lots of fun. Already at the first curve, these off-road carts swirl up a lot of dust. The Wildkogel-Arena Neukirchen & Bramberg is just made for mountain carting. With a view of the Hohe Tauern National Park and the Gro\u00dfvenediger, these XXL tricycles, whose handlebars are a bit reminiscent of a Harley Davidson, run about 450 metres down into the valley. If you want to marvel at the surrounding mountain scenery, it is best to stop at one of the places with a view of the Habach Valley and have a look, at least until your concentration returns. By the way, the carts can be driven in any weather, as long as the gondola is also running. In case of rain, there are special suits available for all mud lovers. Do you want to be wild on the Wildkogel? You can experience these adventures there.<\/p>\n

#5 Thundering over hill and down dale \u2013 downhill biking in Saalfelden Leogang<\/h2>\n

Here, it\u2019s game over for weak nerves. Because here we change from three wheels to only two for some downhill biking. Just like with the mountain cart, the brakes probably play the most important role here. Because once the agile bikes are in motion, neither stick nor stone stops them. Whether you just want to try out a little downhill air or are looking for a real challenge, the Epic Bikepark Leogang has everything required in terms of bike action with takeoffs, step-downs, tables, steep curves and stone passages. Anyone who has ever boarded through the tight curves and over steps and roots knows how excitement really feels. Europe\u2019s No. 1 in terms of bike and downhill celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2021. And what would a birthday be without gifts? These are available for all bikers who can look forward to many new attractions in the 10,000 m\u00b2 Riders Playground. Well then, let\u2019s go! Biking and Saalfelden Leogang belong together like,\u2026 well, you know.<\/p>\n
