Canyoning in the Lower Kobelache in Dornbirn for Beginners - "Kangaroo Jumping"

About the Activity

What to Expect

Explore our Kangaroo jumping canyoning tour for beginners and intermediates where we get to know the lower Kobelache. Starting at the Wanderparkplatz Gütle (please note this is a paid parking area), our adventure begins with a shuttle transport that whisks you away to the canyon entry point. Once there, you will receive all the necessary equipment and get introduced to the essential techniques of canyoning. Before diving into the heart of the canyon, you have the opportunity to practice abseiling, ensuring everyone is comfortable and confident. Our experienced guide will lead groups of up to 7 people, ensuring personalized attention as you embark on this thrilling journey.

The adventure kicks off with an optional jump into a breathtaking gorge, setting the stage for a series of high jumps, long abseils, and climbing sections. The canyon offers a mix of challenges, including jumps ranging from 8 to 12 metres and the tour's highest abseiling point at 20 metres. Throughout the tour, activities are tailored to your abilities and comfort level, making it ideal for beginners and intermediate participants alike. For those who prefer to skip the high jumps, alternative routes are provided to ensure everyone enjoys the experience. As you make your way through the canyon, prepare to be amazed by the stunning natural beauty surrounding you, culminating in a surprise highlight that promises to leave lasting memories.

Afterwards, we will meet again at the parking lot from which we set off on our adventure. However, this is where you will return the equipment. Please note that there are no changing rooms. With everything designed to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, this tour is ideal for those seeking adventure in a safe and guided environment.
