Tour description
Two gorges, one intense canyon day
A full-day canyoning adventure with high abseils, optional jumps and natural slides – for experienced, very fit participants.
This tour combines two of the most spectacular gorges in Vorarlberg into a first-class full-day canyoning adventure.
It all starts in the Rudach gorge – narrow, dark and cut deep into the limestone. Demanding abseils take you step by step deeper into the gorge. The highlight comes at the end: an impressive 65-metre abseil, one of the highest canyoning abseils in the region.
After this intense start, you carry on into the Kobelache gorge. Here, natural jumps, water slides and more abseils take turns. In places the gorge opens out into sunny sections, then narrows again between steep rock walls, making for a particularly varied experience.
The combination of the Rudach and Kobelache makes this tour one of the most demanding and impressive canyoning experiences in Vorarlberg.
At the moment, this tour is available on request only. It's aimed at participants with canyoning experience and very good physical fitness who are looking for a long, intense adventure.
