If your stag or hen party should be more than a pub crawl, canyoning in Salzburg is one of the best options. Instead of a headache the next day: shared jumps, adrenaline in the gorges and photos everyone will still want to show off in 10 years. Here you can read how a canyoning stag or hen party with Badis Adventures works – and how to plan it perfectly.
Why canyoning for your stag or hen party in Salzburg?
- An experience that sticks: jumps, water slides, abseiling – everyone has a story to tell
- Group glue: in the gorge the group automatically becomes a team – ideal for friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time
- The bride or groom-to-be is challenged too – but not overwhelmed
- Salzburg location: a scenic journey, then the city or the mountains for the rest of the evening
- Pictures for the album: something different from the next karaoke photo
Which tour suits a stag or hen party?
The choice of tour depends on what kind of crew you are. Our two recommendations:
Strubklamm – if you want action
The Strubklamm is the stag and hen party classic. Several jumps, water slides, abseils – approx. 3–4 hours of action in one of the most beautiful gorges in Salzburg. Minimum age 16, good swimming ability and average fitness. Perfect for sporty groups looking for adrenaline.
Almbachklamm – if your crew is mixed
If not everyone in your group is super fit or some people are afraid of heights, the Almbachklamm is the better choice. Approx. 2 hours in the gorge, gentler jumps, from age 10 – so everyone can join in.
How big can the party group be?
We tour in small groups of a maximum of 8 people per guide. If your party crew is larger (up to 16), we split you into 2 groups running in parallel – you meet up in the gorge and again at the end. More than 16 people doesn’t work logistically on one tour; but that is almost never the case for stag and hen parties.
How a canyoning party day works
- 09:30 / 13:30 – meeting point: We meet at the agreed spot near the gorge. Welcome, briefing, putting on equipment (wetsuit, helmet, harness) – approx. 30 minutes
- Approach to the gorge: a short walk, 10–20 minutes
- 2–4 hour tour: jumps, swimming sections, abseils, water slides – always adapted to the group
- Descent and changing: 20–30 minutes
- Optional: photo handover: We take photos on request – you’ll receive them digitally after the tour
Allow approx. 4–5 hours in total for the canyoning day. The rest of the day is free for a stroll around Salzburg, lunch, party games or the main evening itself.

Frequently asked questions
Is it called Polterabend, Junggesellenabschied or JGA?
Here in Salzburg and the Salzkammergut, the traditional term is Polterabend or simply Poltern. “Junggesellenabschied” or the abbreviation “JGA” are common in Germany – we understand all the variants and are happy to advise. Whatever you call it: the experience is the same.
How do we plan the day if not everyone is equally fit?
Be honest about it: if your party group includes 2 people with knee issues, choose the Almbachklamm rather than the Strubklamm. We'll give you honest advice on the phone – we won't sell you something that spoils the fun.
Can you go canyoning after drinking?
No, definitely not. Alcohol and gorges don't mix – that applies to every provider in Austria. Plan the drinking for the evening after the tour, not before.
Can we dress up the bride or groom-to-be?
Under the wetsuit nobody will notice anyway. Headbands, sweatbands or pop-up accessories over the neoprene are fine – as long as nothing interferes with the safety equipment.
Who can't take part?
For safety reasons, people with serious cardiovascular problems, acute mobility restrictions or under the influence of drugs cannot take part. Pregnancy: please discuss with us beforehand.
How early do I need to book?
For summer weekends, 3–4 weeks' notice is recommended. We'll of course try to accommodate later requests, but available dates become scarcer.
