Safety is clearly the top priority when experiencing canyoning! For this reason, we only work with guides and their companies who are either state-certified canyon guides or mountain guides with additional canyoning qualifications.

 

We check equipment used on canyoning tours after and before each canyoning tour.
In addition to our professional expertise, the behavior of each individual canyoning participant is also important for safe access to the gorge.
