Details
Here you will learn everything you need to get started with technical canyoning tours! In this canyon for beginners, you face many passages that can only be overcome by rappelling with the help of a rope. Prepare yourselves for abseiling passages up to 18 meters high, short stone slides and a wonderful view of Lake Saalach. After mastering the steep rock cliffs with us, you are perfectly prepared for further, more difficult technical tours.
Tour programme- Preparation:
We meet at our base in Schneizlreuth (free parking available), where you will receive the necessary safety equipment and wetsuits after the welcome by our guides. Afterwards we will drive together in carpools (transfer only subject to availability) to the entry point, where you will receive a safety briefing.
- Tour:
After a short ascent of 20-30 minutes we already enter the canyon, where you practice abseiling in the fall line of waterfalls. If you are looking for a well-deserved snack after the experience, you can buy a bite to eat at our snack bar.
- Return:
At the end we take you back to the base. If you are looking for a well-deserved snack after the experience, you can buy a bite to eat at our snack bar.
