After safety-talk, comprehensive instructions and some familiarisation exercises you are ready to go. Your trip will lead you through the steepest canyon of Ticino with abseils of 70 and 130 m – enjoy an absolute first-class adventure!

After the trip you will walk back to the car park. After your return to the base the guides will prepare a Happy Landing Apero with snacks and drinks – a perfect end to a great experience.
