Canyoning: what you need to know
Canyoning is a water discipline that involves the exploration of ravines, which are narrow rock gorges through which mountain streams flow. Accompanied by a guide, you descend on foot along the watercourse. During the activity, you may encounter waterfalls and rock walls to be overcome by abseiling, just to later enjoy a dip in natural pools and have fun getting carried away by the current of the slides.
Canyoning is practiced in groups and has different levels of difficulty. There are easy routes that can be practiced even by families with children, and much more challenging routes suitable only for sportsmen. The activity is conducted by certified mountain guides and meets all safety standards.
To go canyoning, you wear a neoprene wetsuit, which is provided by the outdoor center, along with a helmet, ropes and harness. Participants are asked to wear a swimsuit, thermal shirt and hiking shoes you’re fine with getting wet.
The best places to go canyoning on Lake Garda
