On the trail of untamed nature: Canyoning in the Allgäu
Mountains or lakes? Climbing adventure or water sports? If exciting outdoor experiences on vacation are one of your absolute highlights, but you can hardly agree on where you are going, canyoning in the Allgäu is the perfect solution. Because in canyoning you combine the fun of hiking, climbing, jumping and abseiling with the joy of swimming, diving and sliding. You will become part of a breathtaking backdrop in which you will experience yourself and Germany’s most attractive canyoning locations intensively.
During the gorge tours in the Allgäu, you entrust yourself to experienced guides who will instruct you in the sport so that you feel safe and in good hands. When the first challenge comes up, you know exactly what to do. And with every step, every jump and every waterfall that you have overcome, your self-confidence increases at least as much as the desire to fully engage in this wonderful canyoning experience.
Our canyon tours in the Allgäu lead through the Starzlachklamm and the Hirschbach. Both gorges offer a variety of opportunities for beginners or advanced climbers to immerse themselves in the pure elements of the canyons. If you want to spend your entire vacation here, the popular holiday region near Sonthofen has numerous opportunities for other exciting outdoor experiences.
Canyoning in the Allgäu for beginners and families with children
The Starzlachklamm is one of the most famous gorges in Germany. It is ideally suited for canyoning in the Allgäu. Here, our certified guides mostly introduce beginners or families to the canyoning experience in the corresponding basic or family courses. In the entire region, everyone is well prepared for the sports and nature-loving tourists. A diverse range of outdoor experiences is therefore just as much provided as perfect accommodation and overnight accommodations.
The tours for beginners or families with children (from 6 years) are selected carefully so you can get to know every aspect of the canyoning experience in the Allgäu. The emphasis here is on "getting to know". So if a jump seems too daring to you or you want to forego sliding down - no problem. Our guides encourage you to the best of their ability, but no one is forcing you. In general, we canyonists share a respect for our limits and the desire to overcome them. When and how this happens, everyone decides for themselves.
As a rule, however, you will notice that all tasks are easy to manage even for beginners with a little courage and little fear of heights. To increase motivation, we also offer you a photo service. So you can fully embark on the adventure and afterwards look back on what you have achieved in amazement.
