About this experience
As a canyoning beginner you will get all the necessary information before the canyoning tour and we prepare you optimally for the water fun in the canyon. After a first safety briefing at the car park, we will equip you with your personal safety equipment. After a short climb and safety briefings, you will learn to rappel by yourself. Even on our canyoning tours for beginners, the independent rappelling is an important point, as good abseiling skills are the basis for our advanced canyoning tours and gorges in the Allgäu and Bavaria. When we have completed the abseiling exercise, it starts in the water, the experience begins. Jumping, sliding, abseiling, all action follows and yet we enjoy the peace and the wildness of nature.
