Action & adventure at the Schlegeis dam
Framed by the High Alps Nature Park Zillertal Alps, the Schlegeis reservoir is not only a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The Schlegeis dam has a few more experiences to offer.
The Schlegeis dam offers all adventurous types a special way to experience the mix of nature and technology. A via ferrata is installed directly on the dam wall. With its easy level of difficulty, it is also suitable for beginners. In addition to the via ferrata, plenty of action and adventure is provided by a 600 metre-long flying fox, a 131 metre-high abseiling station and various climbing routes. Equipment can be hired on site, and the 131 metre-high wall can be conquered under professional guidance.
Visitors with an interest in technology have the possibility to explore the interior of the Schlegeis dam on a guided tour!
Flying Fox
Fly along the Schlegeis dam at up to 80 km/h over the 131 metre deep abyss. Anyone brave enough should definitely not miss out on this experience.

Sport climbing route
The sport climbing route "The Wall" is a challenge for any sport climber. The climbing route begins with a difficulty level of 5 and increases as it goes on, especially with the overhanging arch of the dam, to 7+. Since it is a multiple rope route (4 rope lengths) and is in places very exposed, the climbing route is only suitable for experienced climbers.
The sport climbing route is free of charge.
Only suitable for seasoned and experienced climbers!
Use at your own risk.
Climbing for children
There are also 3 child-appropriate climbing routes where children can garner their first climbing experiences.
The children's climbing facilities are free of charge.
They may only be used with adult accompaniment!
