Navigating the Strubklamm Canyon: The Highlights

The highest jump or rappel reaches approximately 10 meters, offering a true adrenaline rush. This makes it suitable for those with some canyoning experience or strong swimming skills. The challenging swimming distances are often through sections only 1 meter wide, adding to the adventure and testing your agility and comfort in confined water.

The canyon’s natural beauty is impressive, with the towering rock walls providing an awe-inspiring backdrop. The activity involves plenty of jumping, with most jumps in the 3-4 meter range, designed to keep the energy high.

Throughout the experience, safety is prioritized, but the physically demanding nature of the tour means participants should be comfortable in water and have a good level of fitness.
