Reserve your spot on the Canyoning Starzlachklamm today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive hydrated and fed
Eat a light meal beforehand and drink water—cold canyoning is physically demanding and breaks can be short.
Trust the supplied kit
Organizers provide wetsuit, canyoning shoes, helmet and harness—use them and ask for adjustments before you enter the water.
Expect cold water
Even summer pools are chilly; if you get cold easily layer under the neoprene or ask about thicker suits.
Protect valuables
Bring a small waterproof case for phones and leave jewelry behind—guides typically offer photo downloads so you don’t need to carry a camera.
Closed-toe water shoes or hikers
Even though canyoning boots are provided, sturdy shoes with good grip are helpful before and after the canyon.
