The Altersbach forms a spectacular abseiling canyon suitable for experienced participants who are up for a new challenge. If you have already completed at least one technical canyoning tour and are looking for a way to exercise physically and mentally, then this is the perfect tour for you. Face your fear of heights: With 17 abseiling points, some of them very high, this gorge is not only very challenging, but also offers a fantastic view of the Mondsee.
Tour programme- Preparation:You will arrive at the reserved time in our
outdoor camp (parking available, approx. €5), where you can get your equipment and change in the separate cabins. Then you drive to the gorge with your private car, where an introduction will be given by the guide.
- Tour:After the ascent which takes about one hour, numerous abseiling passages with a height of up to 50 m await you.
- Return:At the end of the tour we drive back to the camp, where you can shower and change. If you are hungry by then, the Gasthof Torrenerhof next door is a good place to stop for a meal.
