Still great in October! Super nice guide - top-notch equipment! Incredibly nice base for changing and showering - nice and warm 🙃. Not a really long canyon with lots of walking back and forth... rather short - but everything a woman needs. Jumps - rappelling and sliding.

A very entertaining and varied gorge. Abseiling on and partly in the waterfall; jumps of up to 7 meters – which are optional! Yes, the water is cold, but you only feel it on your hands.

Our family went canyoning in the Taxaklamm gorge.
We had a blast.
Our two guides, Mike and Chris, were fantastic and led us safely through the gorge. We got to climb, rappel, slide, and jump. There was something for the more adventurous, too.
We'll definitely be back.
