Become a canyonist!

After completing this canyoning course, you will be well prepared for the aptitude test for canyoning training, you can take part in challenging, guided canyoning tours and actively participate in tour planning and implementation. Independent canyoning in all levels of difficulty is not possible due to the brevity of the course and the resulting lack of experience and knowledge.
The canyoning course is ideal for anyone who wants to get more involved with the sport of canyoning.

In our canyoning course, we convey a comprehensive basic knowledge of the sport of canyoning and provide assistance and advice on how to find important information and how to interpret it correctly. Both theoretical units and practical exercises in the gorges are necessary. We make sure that what we have learned theoretically can be experienced and consolidated immediately in practice.

What the participants say:

“Hello Philipp, I’m still mentally processing the amount of what you showed and explained to us. It was simply great how intensively and individually you dealt with each of us. The course has increased my motivation to continue canyoning even more.”
Ulrich Kazmierzak, Technical Consultant, Lindau, summer 2016
