Location

Bad Goisern is a pretty market town located on the River Traun, close to the northern shore of Lake Hallstatt. Part of the ‘Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape’, the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving its distinct character and traditions. A wonderful location for an active holiday, you can take bike rides around the lake, explore the hiking trails and the Koppenbrueller cave, and go canoeing on the lake, as well as visit the charming towns of Halstatt and Bad Ischl and take a dip in the famous thermal waters of the latter. Those looking for more of an adrenaline rush can go rafting, rock climbing and canyoning in the area. Another local attraction is the famous 5 fingers viewing platform at Krippenstein (which can be reached from Obertraun by cable car), views from up here are magnificent, but those with a fear of heights should stay away – each platform has a glass floor!

What fitness level do I need for a multi-activity holiday?

Our multi-activity holidays, whether kayaking and cycling in Croatia or canyoning and paddleboarding on Lake Garda, are generally designed to suit a reasonably active traveller rather than requiring elite fitness. Each activity can usually be adjusted in pace or difficulty, so let us know your fitness level and we'll advise accordingly.

Do I need experience in all the different activities included?

No, most multi-activity packages are designed with beginners in mind for at least some elements, with instructors on hand to guide you through kayaking, cycling, canyoning or trekking as needed. You don't need prior experience in every discipline, just a willingness to give things a go.

Is this trip better suited to groups or can solo travellers or couples join?

Multi-activity holidays work well for groups, couples and solo travellers alike. Some departures are set up as small group experiences where you'll meet other like-minded travellers, while others can be arranged privately. Let us know your preference and we'll recommend the right format for you.

Is there an age limit for activities like canyoning or kayaking?

Age suitability depends on the specific activity and its intensity, canyoning and more technical watersports usually suit teens and adults, while kayaking and cycling can often be adapted for younger family members. Tell us the ages in your group and we'll confirm which activities and destinations fit best.

Do I get a choice in which activities I take part in each day?

Many of our multi-activity itineraries include a set programme designed to give you a great mix each day, though there's often flexibility to swap an activity or take a rest day if you'd prefer. Let us know your priorities when booking and we'll tailor the balance where possible.

What's included in terms of equipment for all these different activities?

Equipment for each activity on your itinerary, whether that's kayaks, bikes, canyoning gear or paddleboards, is provided as standard as part of the package. You'll just need suitable clothing and footwear for each day. We'll send a full packing list once your multi-activity holiday is booked.
