3.Ötztal: Beginners Canyoning Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 48 reviews · 3h 30m · from $103

Spend 210 minutes in Ötztal’s Alpenrosen canyon with certified English or German-speaking guides such as Serkan and Michel. You’ll abseil beside waterfalls, ride a natural 8-meter slide, and choose to skip every jump or slide. Equipment, minibus transport, showers, and a farewell schnapps are included.

“Il servizio è organizzato bene, puoi parcheggiare (per 5€ senza scontrino) nel parcheggio privato della struttura (non coperto, non custodito) e situato a 100m dagli uffici. All'interno della struttura trovi anche un posto dove pranzare. Ti viene fornita tutta l'attrezzatura, devi solo portarti il costume. L'esperienza è stata bella, il percorso beginner è adatto a tutti, bambini inclusi. Preparati ad essere calato da un ponte. Nonostante fosse la prima volta, mi sono sentita sempre in sicurezza. NOTA NEGATIVA: se vuoi farti fare delle foto sono 30€ a famiglia senza scontrino e la qualità delle foto non è adeguata a ciò che paghi. Purtroppo ciò non è dovuto tanto alla guida…”
