Course of the canyoning tour

We will meet at our Black Sheeps Adventures base in Wildalpen at the agreed time.
This is followed by filling in the list of participants, providing basic information.
Participants will be given the necessary equipment (Each person guarantees that the equipment is of the correct size and complete. Incompleteness of equipment is a hindrance to canyoning.)
Transportation by own cars to the parking lot under the canyon follows.
Change of clothes – we recommend a towel and a swimsuit, changing is usually done in the car park.
Walking to the canyon – here we take only things that can get wet. On warmer days it is recommended to walk in swimwear, and a lighter e.g. functional T-shirt. The equipment is then carried in hands or slung on the back.
Before entering the canyon itself, there will be a safety training on how to move in the canyon and a rappelling test
Off we go, let’s do it!
After passing the canyon we walk back to the car. Changing clothes and handing over the equipment to the guide. Farewell.
The option to shower at the Black Sheeps Adventures base in Wildalpen.
