Please choose between 4 different activities: 

The canyoning tour in the Chli Schliere near Alpbach is one of the most beautiful and interesting canyoning tours in German-speaking Switzerland. We will try jumps of different heights and long slides, but there is always a way to  get around difficult spots by roping down, if one of the participants does not feel comfortable.
