For those looking for that rush of an adrenaline high, Rauris and surroundings has lots to offer. One of the adventures would be Canyoning in one of the many canyons in the region. The one being closest is the beautiful 'Kitzlochklamm' in Taxenbach at the beginning of the Rauriser valley. White water Rafting at the river Salzach would be another kick or what about Parasailing high above the valley?
