THERE IS NO FUN WITHOUT SAFETY

Canyoning presents all the dangers and risks of any outdoor activity in a varied and changing natural environment.

Simply walking in a creek requires attention and awareness.

If we add the presence of water, a changeable and powerful element, we realize that we must approach canyoning with humility and respect.

Deciding to canyoneer with a certified guide is a guarantee of safety. Solid technical training combined with years of practice and frequentation of these environments allows each descent to be approached in the best possible way.

The guide will provide you at the beginning of the activity with all the information about safety and progression within the canyon as well as explaining the objective risks.

At each obstacle, you will be given the right information on how to overcome it and the different options available.

This requires careful listening and active participation on your part.

To practice canyoning at its best, we ask that you be in good physical condition and health compatible with an athletic physical activity.

Equally important is not being afraid of water, even more important than knowing how to swim.

It doesn’t matter to be an athlete, all that is needed is good physical condition and normal health, i.e., no illnesses incompatible with the required physical activity Canyoning is a sporting activity that can be practiced at various levels. Certainly, even the most accessible routes demand a certain amount of energy and concentration. For an unsporty person, the most important aspect is definitely motivation, the willingness to put oneself out there.

Closed sports shoes ( sneakers, running shoes, trail shoes, hiking shoes, ..) in good condition are required for the activity. On the other hand, sandals, rock shoes, and diving shoes are absolutely forbidden because they are unsuitable and dangerous.

We will provide you with a neoprene wetsuit, a harness equipped with longes and descenders, and a helmet.
It is up to you to provide shoes for the activity, a possible polyester shirt for the chilly ones, and a dry change (including shoes!!).

Like all outdoor disciplines, practice in natural environments involves a number of risks related to the environment in which we move. The professionalism and experience of your guide, combined with your constant attention will reduce risks as much as possible.

Nella maggior parte dei percorsi proposti non è necessario saper nuotare ma è importante essere capaci d’immergere la testa senza panico e restare tranquilli in ambiente acquatico. It is important to know that the neoprene wetsuit strongly aids buoyancy.

There is always an alternative solution to the plunge, such as bypassing the waterfall or rappelling. The good guide will know how to adapt the route to the level and motivation of each participant and in no case will he force anyone to dive. The guide will show you the possible dives giving all the necessary information for a good execution of the dive, which, however, remains the participants’ own decision.
