Heli-Canyoning in Boggera CanyonOur Heli-Canyoning trip is probably the best canyoning tour in the world. We start with a short but spectacular helicopter flight from the Lodrino airbase to our landing zone at an elevation near 1100 meters. We actually fly below the level of the canyon walls, and you’ll catch a glimpse of the excitement to come. Once we begin to descend you will find a huge variety of abseils, slides through natural chutes, and jumps into narrow fissures with crystal clear pools. This is a long and varied canyon, one of the best in a canyoning region known throughout the world. The actual time in-canyon is about 6-7 hours. Tour programme We will start this extraordinary tour at our base, where you will meet your guides and get your complete canyoning equipment. A free car park is available on site. Then we can already hit the road for the Lodrino Airport, where the helicopter is already waiting for us. By helicopter, we will start a flight full of action to the point of entry. A brief safety instruction is following on site, before we will spend about 6 hours in the canyon. After a challenging descent we will return to our base. You will get snacks and drinks in between as well as in the end of this long tour!

Enrico
"This was our first rafting experience. We were warmly welcomed by the team at 2 p.m. and introduced to the fascination of rafting. The preparation was very well organized. There were changing rooms, toilets and a small restaurant. The general instructions and the safety regulations were easy to understand despite being in English. The equipment such as diving suits, paddles and inflatable boats were in perfect condition.
Before getting into the boat, however, there was a cooling off and the first challenge. Swimming in the 5°C cold glacier water. During the rest of the tour there were also activities where we had to leave the boat. We would like to point out that good swimming skills are required, as stated in the description. However, you are never forced to jump into the water. But it is an exciting change. The difficulty of the tour is easy for beginners to master. There are few passages with "rushing" water. Since we are water sports enthusiasts, we probably could have booked the next level. Overall, however, we are very happy to have taken part in this event. It made us want more and rafting will be an integral part of our next vacation plans. A very personal thank you to our guides who led us down the river so professionally. 😀
Photos were included for a small additional charge. These were taken by a guide throughout the tour."
