A fairly small gorge, but definitely worth seeing. A real challenge for people with a fear of heights. There is no admission charge.

Currently only accessible up to the dam due to the risk of falling rocks. Still nice to walk, even if only partially. There is also an alternative route for the Fritzhütte. If you are only coming for the gorge, you should definitely ask at the tourist information office beforehand whether the closure is still in place. As of August 9, 2024

No shame in getting off here and pushing a few meters (or a few more).

The well-developed and partly secured path takes you along the striking, sometimes vertical rock walls, along the rushing torrent and past waterfalls. Here nature shows its concentrated power and gives you the feeling of feeling this enormous power within yourself.

For families, the Schnanner Gorge offers an imposing experience with stone and metal steps, suitable for various ages. The Visnitz Waterfall near Kappl also provides an easy circular hiking route, making it accessible for families, with a shaded path and refreshing spray.
While not directly in See, the Krimml Waterfalls are a major natural spectacle in the broader region. They are Europe's highest, with a total drop of 380 meters across three tiers, offering an awe-inspiring display, especially during peak meltwater flow in summer.
The best time to visit is generally from mid-April to late October. During summer, meltwater increases the volume and power of the falls, making them particularly impressive. Some trails, like the one to Visnitz Waterfall, are not accessible in winter.
You can expect diverse natural landscapes. For instance, the Schnanner Gorge features narrow rock walls and a powerful brook. The Visnitz Waterfall is nestled in a quiet side valley with a shaded forest path. High-alpine scenery, like that around the Waterfall of the Bieltalbach Stream near the Silvretta Reservoir, offers stunning mountain views.
Yes, the Singletrail Tobadill (Giggler Tobel Trail) includes a waterfall and is known for its narrow path, offering an alternative route for mountain bikers. The Schaller Gorge also features a beautiful trail leading through a gorge with four unique waterfalls.
Visitors appreciate the raw power of nature, the refreshing spray, and the stunning views. The Schnanner Gorge is noted for its 'gooseflesh feeling' due to the roaring water, while the Velillbach Waterfall is described as a 'fascinating sight'.
The mist generated by the Krimml Waterfalls is believed to have health benefits, particularly for the respiratory system. This makes a visit to these powerful falls not just a visual spectacle but also potentially therapeutic.
Beyond visiting waterfalls, the region offers various outdoor activities. You can find numerous mountain hikes, road cycling routes, and general cycling tours. For example, the area around the Waterfall of the Bieltalbach Stream near the Silvretta Reservoir is great for high-alpine hiking.
The Zuhorn Waterfalls are a roaring waterfall just beside a gravel road, with larger falls accessible further into the side valley (about 20 minutes on foot), offering a more secluded experience.
Accessibility varies. The Krimml Waterfalls have a well-maintained hiking trail that is generally considered easy to moderate. The Visnitz Waterfall near Kappl is part of an easy circular route. Some trails, like parts of the Singletrail Tobadill, can be challenging with exposed sections or require pushing a bike.
Yes, the Schnanner Gorge is a prominent example, where the Schnanner brook squeezes through narrow rock walls. The Schaller Gorge Waterfall also features a beautiful trail through a gorge with multiple waterfalls.
