What you should really look out for when choosing your canyoning tour in Ticino!

1. difficulty before beauty

All the gorges in Ticino offer breathtaking scenery. So don't just let yourself be guided by photos or videos, but first and foremost by the level of difficulty of the tour - especially if you have little experience.

2. make sustainable decisions

If possible, choose a gorge close to your accommodation. Even better: a tour that you can do by public transportation by public transport. This way, you reduce your ecological footprint and experience Ticino consciously.

3. know (and respect) your limits

For canyoning beginners in particular, it is better to start a little lighter - with fun, safety and composure. A tour that is too difficult can be overwhelming and spoil the enjoyment.

4. think about your group

Are you booking for friends, family or a mixed group? Then be sure to base your choice on the most cautious or weakest member of the group. That way, you'll have a great experience together - without stress or unnecessary risks.
