Canyoning (also known as gorge walking) is descending a gorge from top to bottom in different ways. With passive or active abseiling, jumping, sliding, and swimming, you make your way through gorges wearing neoprene, a helmet, and a special harness. Canyoning emerged in the late 1990s in Spain and southern France. In the USA, canyoning is better known as canyoneering.
Every weekend, many people from Bavaria’s major cities—Munich, Augsburg, and Nuremberg—head to the Bavarian Prealps to pursue their passion for outdoor sports. Bavaria’s extensive border region with Austria offers numerous gorges for every level and taste of canyoning lovers.

Beginner Canyoning Bavaria is an unforgettable adventure! However, it can be dangerous if you’re not properly prepared. With our professional equipment (7 mm wetsuit, harness, helmet, neoprene socks) and expert guidance from our canyon guides, Beginner Canyoning Bavaria is a safe yet exciting outdoor adventure that all participants will remember for a long time!

Of course! Feel free to contact us, and we’ll take care of your non-binding reservation up to 2 weeks before the date.

Approx. 90-95% of tours take place as planned.

Canyons are undoubtedly among the most beautiful landscapes in the world!
But they also have their downsides: because they have narrow sections, safety in the canyon is highly dependent on the water level and its influencing factors. Rainfall, meltwater, weir openings, etc.

Safety is the top priority. Sometimes it’s only predictable at very short notice (1 to 2 days) before the tour whether conditions are suitable. As soon as we’re sure whether the tour can take place (or not), we’ll let you know!

No, tickets and Gift cards remain valid. In case of cancellations, an alternative date will be arranged.
