Anchors everything tip top, have doubled all the important stands. Hopefully it will be free again so that you can jump the steps at the start again, as it was last year.

Important information

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, ...).

Accordingly, neither the correct nor the complete description can be guaranteed by the site operators and creators of the information available here. Opencanyon.org disclaims any liability for damages of any nature!
