Voucher / Appointment

At Fallenbach Gorge, you'll find several abseiling points from 4 to a maximum of 20 meters, and you can jump from 2, 4, 8, and 17 meters – pure adrenaline! Of course, you can also walk around a jumping spot if it feels too high for you. Plus, there are beautiful slides, waterfalls, and clear pools, just like the ones you'd find in Costa Rica. A unique flora and fauna also awaits you on this canyoning adventure, so get ready to be amazed. On the full-day tour, you'll experience the entire Fallenbach, including abseiling and a Tyrolean traverse (zip line), in about 6 hours.

This diverse canyoning adventure guarantees an unforgettable adrenaline rush. The tour runs with a minimum group of four people, but individuals can also join an existing group. After putting on your wetsuits and getting your gear ready, like harnesses, carabiners, helmets, etc., you'll head off to Amden. During your tour, special camera footage will be taken, which you can download after your canyoning experience.
