The Tyrolean rafting classic: around 38 kilometres west of Innsbruck you take an inflatable raft through one of the best white-water stretches in Europe. A real adrenaline day for the whole group; the meeting point comes with your booking. Plan the transfer as a day trip; the season runs from April to October.

Two highlights in one ticket: take the Hungerburgbahn to Europe's highest zoo and carry on up the Nordkette. Bears, ibex and mountain views in one morning: a relaxed, varied daytime programme for mixed groups.
The Innsbruck City Card bundles mountain lifts, public transport and sights in one ticket. If your group wants to see a lot without bothering with individual tickets, it's the simplest option for a full day of sightseeing before you party in the evening.
The cheaper option: take the Hungerburg funicular up to the Alpine Zoo and explore the local mountain wildlife. A laid-back daytime start close to nature that costs little and combines well with a stroll through the Old Town afterwards.
Ticket for the Bergisel ski jump designed by Zaha Hadid: up by lift and stairs, with a panoramic restaurant at the top and a superb all-round view over Innsbruck. A worthwhile item with Olympic history that delivers good group photos and a sporty start to the day.
