The sun is shining and is slowly climbing over the peaks in the Allgäu mountains. There is still light fog on the fields in the valley. Perfect weather for exploring the Allgäu mountains on your own on a via ferrata. To make the day perfect, all you need is via ferrata equipment. Because not everyone has their own set ready to hand.

We provide you with the right equipment from Edelrid. A comfortable helmet, a universal climbing harness and an easy-to-use via ferrata set.

A limited number of helmets and climbing harnesses are also available for children.

The Allgäu, more precisely the Oberallgäu with the Allgäu Alps, offers the best conditions for sporty via ferrata and scenic “iron paths”, which would be the direct translation of Via Ferrata. 150 years ago, ladders, steps and similar parts, some of which were still made of wood, were used to develop and secure paths between mountain villages and the Alps.

In South Tyrol in particular and in what is now Slovenia, every summit between the parties Austria-Hungary and Italy was fought for during the world wars. Many mountain roads were provided with iron parts, ladders and steel fuses to ensure replenishment and easier, safe access. Some of these paths have now become great sport climbing routes and keep their history as Via Ferrata.

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.
