Bachelor Party Canyoning in the Allgäu: Organize Your Bachelor Party in the Gorge

If you’re planning a bachelor party that offers more than just a vendor’s tray and a bar crawl, there’s hardly any way around the gorge. On a bachelor party canyoning trip, your group will experience jumps, slides, and rappelling sections together, cheer each other on, and take home photos that people will still be talking about at the wedding. No prior experience is necessary, because our beginner tours—like the Starzlachklamm near Sonthofen—are designed for newcomers, and every action segment is optional. With our own bachelor/bachelorette party package, we handle the planning, equipment, and execution, so the organizers can focus on the surprise. Here’s an overview of all the planning steps.

Planning ahead really pays off for bachelor/bachelorette parties, because the popular Saturday dates during the spring-through-fall season fill up quickly; you should plan to book several weeks in advance. We’re flexible when it comes to group size and will adjust the number of guides to suit your group, while always maintaining a maximum ratio of eight guests per guide. As for the group requirements, all participants must be confident swimmers and in normal physical condition, and the tour takes place while sober—alcohol and canyoning are incompatible for safety reasons; it’s best to save the party for the evening afterward. The guest of honor can be told in advance to pack swimwear, a towel, and a change of clothes—the actual surprise will still be preserved, as he or she won’t find out what awaits in the canyon until they arrive on site. We take care of all the equipment, instruction, rappelling practice, and photo service. Our offer page for the bachelor party in the canyon provides all the details about the itinerary and how to make a reservation.

The day begins at the meeting point with the distribution of equipment, as wetsuits, helmets, harnesses, and Edelrid canyoning shoes are included in the price. After a briefing and rappelling practice, the trail leads down to the gorge, where the group climbs, swims, slides, and rappels down the waterfalls together. The group’s dynamic really comes into its own during bachelor and bachelorette parties, when the daring and the cautious cheer each other on, and the groom or bride experiences the grand finale on the 18-meter-long rock slide in the Starzlachklamm gorge. Our photo service captures these moments, so you’ll receive the keepsake photos at no extra charge. Since we generally take our time, there’s plenty of room for banter, group photos, and breaks to catch your breath. To wrap up the day, we recommend stopping at Rudi’s Klammhütte in the Starzlachklamm gorge for a snack and a view of the waterfall before the evening transitions into the party. Larger groups with varying fitness levels also benefit from a private guide for their group, who will tailor the program exactly to their needs.
