An incredible canyoning adventure awaits you in Amden, above Lake Walen.

At the Fallenbach Gorge, there are several rappelling spots ranging from 4 to a maximum of 20 meters; you can jump from heights of 2, 3, and 7 meters—pure adrenaline. Of course, you can also walk around the jump spot if a jump is too high for you. There are also beautiful water slides, waterfalls, and crystal-clear pools, the kind you’d expect to find only in Costa Rica.

A unique array of flora and fauna also awaits you on this canyoning adventure—let yourself be surprised. On this day trip, you’ll explore the entire Fallenbach, including rappelling and a zip line, in about 6 hours.

This varied canyoning adventure guarantees an unforgettable adrenaline rush. The tour requires a group of at least four people, though a single person can also join an existing group. After putting on your wetsuits and preparing your gear—such as harnesses, carabiners, helmets, etc.—you’ll head to Amden. During your tour, footage will be captured with a special camera, which you can download after the canyoning experience.
