Advanced canyoning in Ötztal’s Auerklamm, with jumps, abseils and slides, expert guides, photo service, and transfers.

“Założenie kostiumu, jechanie w nim i nie długi spacer po lesie w ponad 30 stopniowym upale do celu było nie lada wyzwaniem. Na szczęście pierwszy skok do wody dał dużo ochłody i ulgi, a każdy kolejny zjazd po naturalnych ślizgach jak i skoki dały do wody z 10 i 15 metrów dały dla początkujących sporo adrenalinki.... Oczywiście cała otoczka w postaci naturalnej ekspozycji pięknych wodospadów, przejść po kamieniach zanurzonych w strumieniu dała dodatkowej dla oka radości. Przewodnik dbał o bezpieczeństwo i pomagał tym którzy mieli lęk wysokości w skokach z alternatywnych niższych poziomów. Adrenalinki nie brakowało:)”
