We had Markus as our guide. He was fantastic. The weather was great and we were a small group. Even if you were unsure or a little scared, he took excellent care of you and helped you overcome your fears. We really enjoyed ourselves and were proud of ourselves for doing it. The Starzlach Gorge is a stunning backdrop!

We went canyoning with our guide Jens in 33-degree heat. It was a fantastic experience for the whole family. Although we had never climbed before and had no idea about safety equipment, Jens's instructions made the canyoning an amazing adventure.
