Schöne Abseiltour ohne grosse Laufstrecken. Die Laufstrecke dem Bach folgend gibt's jedoch am Schluss, um wieder zum Wanderweg zu kommen.

Beautiful abseiling tour without long running sections. However, there is a running section following the stream at the end to get back to the hiking trail.

Danger notice / Disclaimer

Walking in gorges (canyoning) involves non-obvious and potentially lethal dangers! In order to face them adequately, a thorough preparation of any walk is absolutely necessary. Reading the information available on this website is in no way sufficient for such a thorough preparation.

The available descriptions are based on personal experiences of different climbers and accordingly give a subjective impression of the conditions at a certain date in the past. The conditions can change significantly at any time due to, among other things, the weather (precipitation, snowmelt, ...) or possible events in alpine terrain (rockfalls, avalanches, ...). The described technical installations can also change radically due to natural events (floods, corrosion) or human intervention (vandalism, theft, ...).
