Canyoning basic

 
 
 
 

Canyoning beginner “basic” – your start to the adventure.
Impressive!

As a canyoning beginner you will receive all the necessary information before the canyoning tour and we will prepare you optimally for the water fun and the outdoor adventure in the gorge. After an initial safety briefing at the parking lot, we will equip you with your personal canyoning safety equipment including special canyoning shoes from Adidas® or Five-Ten®.


After a short ascent and further safety briefings, you will learn to abseil independently. Even on our canyoning tours for beginners, the independent abseiling is an important point, as good abseiling skills are the basis for our advanced canyoning tours and gorges in the Allgäu / Bavaria, in Austria or our canyoning trips.

When we have completed the abseiling exercise, we go into the water, the experience begins. Jumping, sliding, abseiling, all action follows and yet we enjoy the peace and wilderness of nature and the unique gorge landscape.

Jumping and sliding are always optional on our beginner canyoning tours in the Allgäu as well as on our sporty canyoning tours in Bavaria and neighboring Austria with its regions of Kleinwalsertal, Tannheimer Tal, Lechtal and Vorarlberg. With perfect preparation, good togetherness and an optimal selection of gorges, the day and your canyoning beginner experience will certainly be a pleasure.

Families and children? With our "Canyoning family" tours we offer special canyoning adventure tours for families and children. The canyoning beginners' tour in the Allgäu is also ideal for groups, clubs, bachelor and bachelorette parties. Many departments or companies also choose this canyon tour for a company outing or a team day.

What our canyoning beginner guests say: “I would never have thought in my life that I would jump from a rock higher than 2 meters and I would have bet something on it. But thanks to your patient way of answering the question of whether the water is really deep enough for the tenth time..., I was even able to go beyond my own limits and that was a great experience for myself in addition to the fantastic nature.” Carola Bruns, neurologist, Stuttgart, summer 2015

Canyoning Kobelache with Andy and Sanders – another great experience! It was already our second tour with Andy, this time there were three of us in the Kobelache. The gorge is truly beautiful and absolutely convinced us. From the beginning, the tour was top-organized, the procedures were very routine, and one felt in good hands at all times. Big praise to Andy and Sanders for their professionalism! Unfortunately, I had to cut the tour short due to an injury – but the guides had the situation under control at all times and reacted confidently. The rest of the group still had a lot of fun and was able to continue experiencing great moments in the gorge. Clear recommendation – we would love to come back!

This will definitely be repeated! It was simply great! I have a fear of heights, but the team accompanied me incredibly well during the entire event and supported me at every moment. Because of that, I felt completely safe and had huge fun in the end! It was really a fantastic experience. A very special thank you goes once again to Andreas and Noã!

Adrenaline rush while canyoning in the Starzlachklamm with purelements The canyoning with purelements was an exciting experience and activity. It was super organized from start to finish and the guides know exactly what they are doing. Not only were our guides Andreas and Noel super, but the staff and the boss in the background were also super helpful with questions beforehand. Anyone looking for an adrenaline rush and an exciting experience has come to the right place. Recommendation: We had the 9:00 AM tour with a meeting time of 8:00 AM and were the first group (13 people) in the gorge. During our tour, we were able to see several other, sometimes larger groups walking toward the entrance. The gorge may therefore be overcrowded at a later time, and waiting times at certain spots with other groups cannot be ruled out.
