Climb up the canyon or go for a hike to cross suspension bridges and marvel at waterfalls and nature. Or — for something as rewarding but a lot less physically demanding — have a seat in the unique Air Canyon system, which catapults you straight over the canyon and allows you to observe the surroundings from a bird's perspective. The canyon is located on Highway 138, just 5 minutes from the Sainte-Anne Basilica, so both can be done within the same day.

A history-charged natural spectacle is the Sigmund Thun Gorge in Kaprun. Going down to a depth of 32 metres, the Kaprun Ache carved out its 320-metre-long path through the Sigmund Thun Gorge and created distinctive smooth surfaces and deep holes. Moss-covered wood and cragged rocks with symbols and dates, which wood-cutters carved into the stone many years ago, transport visitors back into an earlier time

The Mooserboden and Wasserfallboden high mountain reservoirs in Kaprun, which lie between the commanding cliffs of the Upper Tauern at a height of 2,000 metres, can be reached with Europe’s largest open slant lift. During a guided tour of the dam wall on the 107-metre-high and almost 500-metre-long “Mooser-Sperre” visitors can discover how clean electricity can be generated from 160 million cubic metres of water. The "Electricity Adventure World“provides insights into the fascinating world of eternal ice and explains the interplay between the glacier, power plant construction and electricity generation.
