Fun and Team Olympics   In our Fun and Team Olympics, our participants have to solve various tasks by using their creativity and initiative. However, these games focus more on camaraderie and team building than competition. The whole experience is going to be a barrel of laughs for all the participants involved.   Your whole team will work on the solutions and answers, and each participant can bring their strengths and ideas into the game to bring their group to the finish line. The Team Olympics stimulate team spirit, perseverance and dexterity in a fun and exciting way. Everyone will learn to see themselves as an indispensable part of the team!   In the run-up to the event, every exercise and challenge will be discussed in detail and will be selected according to your own ideas and expectations. You can choose the exercises from our extensive range of suggestions, depending on whether you want fun, action, or team building to be the main focus of the challenges. The exercises can be arranged individually to be team- or action-oriented. Additionally, we would be happy to film your team’s Olympic challenges and present the footage on our big screen in the course of an award ceremony in the evening. Such an award ceremony is a nice way to present the participants with little gifts - either from your own company or in the form of culinary surprises of regional delicacies.   Rafting   After a thorough instruction to the safety standards from our certified guides, nothings stands in the way of a great experience! Our white-water rafting tour on the river Lammer leads us briefly through mainly calm waters until we reach the main gorge of the river, one of the most impressive gorges of our region. After this, we go through rapids as well as calmer passages. Your guide will give instructions, navigate, and make sure you have a safe trip. Since the Lammer can have low water levels during the summer, we offer alternatives like tubing and white-water rafting on the river Salzach!   Tubing   River tubing is our latest addition to the fun sports section! Have you ever been white-water rafting and thought that you want to do something totally new? This is your opportunity! Tubing is the ideal alternative when water levels are too low! With very stable inflatable tubes we go on tours to the lower or middle Lammer. It gives you the opportunity to easily learn how to conquer the waves and it is a lot of fun! See for yourself….   Raft building and a raft ride   The raft is one of the oldest means of transport. Spend a day with us and follow the tracks of the old lumberjacks. Before we start the ride, we will build our raft together with the guides giving you instructions on how one can make a raft out of old barrels and trunks. At the end, you will be proud to present your homemade raft! After this quick intro in raft building, we will again find ourselves on the river Salzach. You will navigate through calm waters as well as rapids and the beautiful scenery will be your constant companion on this adventure. Of course, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy a barbecue or a picnic on the banks of the river.   Hydrospeed   If you really want to experience the fascination of white-water then you should try hydrospeed! Take your thermoplastic board and go downriver – that’s as close as you can get to a true white-water experience. The hydrospeed lets you float on the surface of the water and with every wave you feel the unbelievable power of the river. Our route, depending on the water level, leads us through the Lammer’s gorges and ends outside of the Lammeröfen.  In between our rides on the hydro speed there is another highlight waiting for us – a short canyoning tour. Our guides lead you to the gorge of the Aubach where you can use a small waterfall to dive into a crystal-clear pool below. This trip offers everything from calm sections to powerful rapids and an adventurer’s heart can’t ask for more.   River tour   Because of the special construction of our boats, it is very easy for every beginner to experience the beauty and fascination of kayaking. Even without previous knowledge or training on a lake, everyone can start straight at the river. Thanks to our boats, beginners also get the opportunity to navigate through white-water of the 1. and 2. level of difficulty!   Kayak   To experts, kayaking is by far the best way of experiencing white-water with all its beauty and power.  If you also want to learn this challenging and life-affirming sport in unique scenic surroundings, we offer you the ideal conditions. The right equipment is crucial for your learning success and we will provide you with everything. A beginner’s course in kayaking starts with learning the basics, for which you go to a lake. After completing these first exercises, the guides will lead you step by step closer to the white water. We additionally offer you the opportunity to take part in half day workshops on lakes to get a first idea of kayaking.   Canyoning   Canyoning is by far the most spectacular way of exploring the course of a river. Of course, canyoning is not a walk in the park. Nature is going to throw a few obstacles your way and you have to overcome waterfalls, deep pools, and vertical rock faces. We will experience nature’s ancient creations in an adventurous and exciting way that it will test your wilderness skills. Climbing hardware and static ropes will be part of our equipment when we let you down a rock face. You will also be asked to do 10 meter jumps and swim through deep pools filled with crystal-clear water.  Of course, you decide how far you want to go. If it is too high for you, our guides will be happy to let you down on ropes. However, jumps from up to 3 meters of height are highly recommended for your own enjoyment.   Jet boating   Jet boating originally comes from New Zealand and is a lot of fun for every age group. Riding across the waves is the ultimate thrill but also comes with the ultimate safety standards provided by our boats. Our jet boats are custom built for the varied conditions of the Salzach river. The boats can handle white water passages easily thanks to an aluminum construction that provides maximum robustness and maneuverability. One boat accommodates 11 persons and still allows racy maneuvers like a fast and close ride along the river banks or a jet spin, a 360-turn at full speed! Jet boating on the river Salzach is unique to Austria and maximum fun.   High ropes course   The Spider – we also like to call it our “mental parcours” – is a high ropes course at a height of 5 to 10 meters that challenges you with different exercises. From a starting point we use a ropeway to get to the actual start of the course. Similar to a fixed rope tour, we’ll get to the higher part that is between 5 to 10 meters off-ground. That will confront you with some challenges like walking on wire ropes, climbing through a gigantic spider web, and many more. You will definitely overcome your own limitations and you will learn about the importance of motivation and how much your own attitude can change your approach and influence your success. Your safety is provided by an innovative double-security system. Think about our motto “Get over your own limitations and see what you can really do!” and don’t miss this extraordinary experience!   Off-road Scooter   The off-road scooter – another fun activity that you can only experience with outdoor-unlimited! It is similar to going downhill on a mountain bike but still something totally new. An off-road scooter is constructed in a way that makes it easier to go downhill because broad tires provide great stability. Its special construction and design does not require special skills and everybody can simply enjoy the exhilarating feeling of this new and innovative downhill experience. Our guides pick the route and we are confident we can adjust to all levels of expectations. You are invited to explore our wonderful region together with us!   Bockerl   The Bockerl is a piece of sports equipment everybody was waiting for! It’s designed for anybody who likes to go hiking in the mountains but dreads the going-back-down part. After a beautiful tour in the mountains that we will tailor to your needs and level of fitness, and after resting in amazing surroundings, we will make our way back down to the valley. But we will not walk, we will ride the Bockerl. Compare it to a smaller version of a mountain bike but add more safety and more fun and you get the idea of the Bockerl!   Mountain bike   The beautiful scenery of our region invites you to make tours on the mountain bike. Again, you can pick your tour and choose between unhurried, mellow, or more challenging tours. All of our tours are scenic and our guides will be happy to give you advice on which one to pick. Outdoor-unlimited takes care of the necessary maintenance of the bikes so you can count on top quality equipment and simply focus on enjoying the tours!   Cave trekking   This tour leads us past a thunderous waterfall directly into the Trickl cavern, which is a limestone cavern at the foot of Abtenau’s mountain range, the Tennengebirge. The 20 minute walk leading up to the cavern is an experience in itself and takes you through an amazing countryside. You can go about 100 meters into the cavern which is said to even reach the Eisriesenwelt on the other side of the mountain range. Even though you can explore quite a bit of this cave it is not dangerous and doesn’t challenge your physical fitness. However, anybody with claustrophobia might want to think about it again. Parts of the cavern are very narrow but a walk in there is a wonderful experience! Our guides will come up with a few interesting tasks, which highlights the team building concepts addressed in the classroom session.         Hiking   The region in and around Abtenau is surely one of the most beautiful places to go hiking! The tours are put together according to your wishes and take you through unique sceneries. You can either: book a hiking guide or a mountain guide, go on a laid back and not too fast-paced hike or climb up the mountains – either way nature’s beauty will be around you at all times. Independently from your route or your schedule, you will have to check out one of the many traditional lodges and enjoy a nice meal there! After a typical Brettljause, Austria’s favorite afternoon snack, you can either walk back down or do it in a more exciting fashion – with the Bockerl. It’s a fun and fast way of getting back down.   Paragliding   Outdoor-unlimited’s instructors make sure to offer you the right program like tandem flights, trail courses or a combination of the two.   Nordic Walking   First off, our coaches are going to explain the right technique which is important for Nordic walking. When you are ready to go, your coach will lead the way to the Au, a district of Abtenau. There you’ll have the opportunity to try the famous hydrotherapy developed by Sebastian Kneipp in a special facility that gets its water directly from the mountains. If you are not into Kneipp you can still refresh on the banks of the idyllic mountain river Aubach, which also feeds the facility. Once you are back at outdoor-unlimited’s headquarters at the Karkogel, you can take advantage of our big training pyramid which lets you get a good stretch or do strengthening exercises.   Nordic Walking and Sommerrodeln   Sommerrodeln is basically the summer time version of sledding. You’ll get instruction from your guide on how to use the right technique for the walking part and on how to handle your sled. Then, when you walk up the Karkogel mountain, the techniques you have just learned will make it an even more enjoyable tour. As a reward for your walking efforts, you’ll have time to rest in the cozy and newly renovated lodge, the Karkogelhütte. When you feel refreshed, prepare yourself for the most exciting ride downhill with the Sommerrodel!   Nordic Walking and the Bockerl   For our especially athletic groups, we offer a slightly different tour: You will walk to the Kneipp facility, over to the Karkogel and up the mountain! Once there, you more than deserve a little break in the Karkogelhütte.  Instead of the Sommerrodel, you will get a Bockerl to make your way back to the valley!   Winter Olympics   In our Fun and Team Olympics, our participants have to solve various tasks by using their creativity and initiative. However, these games focus more on camaraderie and team building than competition. The whole experience is going to be a barrel of laughs for all the participants involved.   Your whole team will work on the solutions and answers, and each participant can bring their strengths and ideas into the game to bring their group to the finish line. The Team Olympics stimulate team spirit, perseverance and dexterity in a fun and exciting way. Everyone will learn to see themselves as an indispensable part of the team!   In the run-up to the event, every exercise and challenge will be discussed in detail and will be selected according to your own ideas and expectations. You can choose the exercises from our extensive range of suggestions, depending on whether you want fun, action, or team building to be the main focus of the challenges. The exercises can be arranged individually to be team- or action-oriented. Additionally, we would be happy to film your team’s Olympic challenges and present the footage on our big screen in the course of an award ceremony in the evening. Such an award ceremony is a nice way to present the participants with little gifts - either from your own company or in the form of culinary surprises of regional delicacies.   Tubing   In the summer time, tubing is a lot of fun. In the winter, it takes off completely. You use the inflatable and very stable tubes to slide down steep hills covered with snow and you don’t have to worry about the right cushioning – the snow takes care of that.   Kufenbockerl   Another Austrian specialty, another Bockerl. The Kufenbockerl combines sledding and carving-style skiing. It easy to learn and even easier to have fun with, which makes it an ideal piece of equipment for the winter.   Snowshoeing   Snowshoeing is a gentle and great way of combining exercising and enjoying the scenery. You will put your snowshoes on and range the winter forests with our guides. The snowshoes will take you over sparkling fields covered with powder snow, far away from ski slopes and lifts. The best thing about snowshoes is that you are totally independent from any sort of trails, slopes or streets – you can walk anywhere and your guides will show you some of the most spectacular spots in our region. While still getting some exercise, you’ll mostly focus on the animals you’ll see along the way and the beautiful countryside all around you.   Airboard   The airboard is a single-person hovercraft and one of our popular novelties. Similar to the Hydrospeed, you use this board to slide down snowy hills and slopes. You will lie down on this inflatable board and speed downhill. Talk about action and fun!   Sledding   Abtenau’s new sledding hill is part of the Karkogel mountain: offers a 12% decline, a length of 3 kilometers, floodlights for the evening, and its own snowmaking system for winters with less natural snow. But don’t even think about walking up there because a comfortable gondola is going to do the job for you and takes you right to the starting point of the sledding hill. We suggest you include sledding for an unforgettable evening in Abtenau. Take the gondola up the mountain and start there with a delicious dinner that lets you try all the regional specialties. Spend the evening in the cozy lodge and when you can’t ignore the itch anymore, take your sled and race downhill. We’ll be happy to give you an all-inclusive offer for this beautiful evening!   Skiing Tours   The Lammer Valley is the ideal starting point for some of the most beautiful skiing tours in Austria. Your guide will make sure you’re safe and will take you to some spectacular winter sceneries. Your efforts will be rewarded once you’re up there and can enjoy the breathtaking view from the top of the mountain, not to mention the downhill run! Your guides will plan the tours with you and will assist you in picking the right equipment.   Cross-country Skiing   Abtenau has over 60 kilometers of perfectly maintained cross-country skiing trails that are waiting for you. Again, our instructors and guides will help you achieve the right technique to get the most out of this healthy, enjoyable sport. We can provide all the equipment and the only thing you need is your outfit.
