Details
The canyons in the Allgäu provide for an unforgettable experience for the whole family with clear pools, jumps, rock slides and waterfalls. This tour is perfect for a family outing, as any sections that are too far outside your comfort zone can be avoided without problem. That way, everyone, no matter their age, can enjoy the canyoning tour without feeling forced. Having fun is the main focus of the tour.
Tour programme- Preparation:
Our meeting point is at our outdoor base camp Allgäu in Blaichach (free car park available). Upon arrival, we will help you get familiarized with the safety equipment. Then, you will drive your own car to the gorge (€3 parking fee). Once there, we will embark on a 20-minute walk to reach the canyon. Before you enter the ravine, you will receive a detailed introduction on what to expect and how to stay safe.
- Tour:
Now it's time to start the tour. Abseiling, jumping, slipping, climbing, a unique natural experience begins. If you don't dare to do a jump, there is always the opportunity to walk around or to overcome the obstacle with the help of a rope.
- Return:
After the tour, you will enjoy a well-deserved refreshing drink.
At the end of the tour, you will arrive directly at the car park, where your vehicles are already parked. Afterwards, you will be invited to return to the base with us, where you can take a shower and relax. If you are hungry, you can also find restaurant and snack options nearby. On request, we can also organize a BBQ for you and your group.

Important booking information

Sabrina · FamilyAustria · July 2026
Fantastic first experience. Noah and Dani are amazing guides. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and committed. It was quite a hike uphill in the wetsuit in temperatures above 30 degrees, but once you are in the water, you cool down in no time. The trip is manageable with children (even younger children with a bit of courage) and there are plenty of "rest stops". Also, if you don't dare or don't want to do something, an alternative is possible. Great!
