A cold ribbon of water threads between steep limestone walls and dares you forward—that’s Starzlachklamm on a bright morning. You step from fir-shaded trailheads into an amphitheater of rock where guides clip harnesses, and the canyon takes over: a sequence of slides, jumps and rappels that ends with an 18‑meter water slide that sends the whole group cheering.
The gorge is a product of Allgäu’s calcareous geology—post‑glacial streams slicing narrow slots into brittle rock for millennia. Locals have used these side valleys for timber and summer pasture; today the route is shared between hikers on the rim and canyoning teams threading the riverbed. The style here is alpine and direct: short approaches, close rock walls, and pools that reflect the sky.
Practical: this Level 2 tour runs about four hours and includes guided abseils up to 15 m, jumps up to 6 m (optional), and that long natural slide. Guides provide thick wetsuits, neoprene socks, helmets and harness systems; photos of highlights are included. Minimum age is 14, groups run from four people upward, and non‑swimmers or those with serious back/heart problems should not join.
To prepare, hydrate well, wear sturdy water shoes, and practice controlled rappelling if you’re nervous—guides will coach technique. Timing matters: choose late spring through early fall when water levels are safe and guides can pick the most scenic, runnable sections. Respect the river: leave no trace, keep to instructions, and the gorge will reward you with a clean, adrenaline‑rich descent through raw Alpine rock.

The gorge is carved from Allgäu’s limestone and shaped by post‑glacial streams; local valleys historically supported seasonal herding and timber transport.
Alpine stream ecosystems are fragile—stay on marked paths, avoid soap or sunscreen in pools, and pack out all waste to protect native flora and aquatic life.
