Canyoning

FOLLOW THE RIVER’S PATH IN WILD GORGES

In canyoning we follow the river’s path down through the canyon. We swim in crystal clear pools and descend down waterfalls. Canyoning offers unique views of the valley – completely different to what we see from above. Navigating such environments is not without its challenges which is why your safety is our top priority! Expect professional equipment and highly trained guides.
