Canyoning at Lake Garda

Canyoning routes on Lake Garda, in Val di Ledro and in Trentino with an Alpine Guide

Canyoning is a great little adventure that smells of freedom.
We will find ourselves swimming and jumping in the crystal-clear water of the streams, passing through corridors and high gorges, gliding over smooth rock pushed by the current, abseiling into ravines and walking along the stream exploring an unspoilt environment.

Canyoning is not just pure fun, it is above all true contact with a wild nature that is often hidden from the eyes of ordinary tourists. The changing colours of the vegetation all around, the sun that makes its way into the gorge to play with the glare of the cool, crystal-clear water, will make you feel alive and, I assure you, very, very happy.

Canyoning routes at Lake Garda: how and when

Lake Garda is of glacial origin and torrents have carved deep gorges over the centuries that are perfect for canyoning. Canyoning, or canyoning, consists precisely in descending these gorges on foot. The progression takes place in the bed of the watercourse, with the right equipment and accompanied by a mountain guide who will help you with the rope to descend down the torrents often alongside or inside beautiful waterfalls. At Lake Garda we can canyoning seven months a year, every day from April to October.

Canyoning in a group, with friends, as a couple or alone

The canyoning itineraries on Lake Garda and in Trentino are many, fun, and affordable for all of you as long as you are not afraid of water. You can participate alone or as a couple, joining a group, or with your friends. You could also go canyoning to celebrate a birthday or for a bachelor or bachelorette party.

Canyoning on Lake Garda with the family

Some of the canyoning stretches of the Vione in Tignale and the Rio Nero in Val di Ledro are particularly suitable for children aged nine and up because they are fun, easy and without obligatory passages. Compared to a route done with adults only, we will tackle the torrent in a different way so as to make their adventure in the water unique, with rappels that are never too exposed, slides and small jumps.

If you smile and shout with joy, we will take pictures of you, to have a souvenir of your fun adventure!
We are waiting for you.

Can I do it too?
There are both easy and difficult canyoning routes and sure, you can do it too if you love water and have a taste for adventure.

What do I need to know?
Walking, diving, swimming and sliding are things you already know how to do, we take care of the rest.

What if I don’t want to dive?
In all canyon routes, jumps and slides can be avoided by abseiling.

I have never done a rappel. How does it work?
Don’t worry, during the descent into the canyon you will slowly get acquainted with this new experience. Your guide will teach you the correct approach to abseiling and all you have to do is relax and smile, assume the correct position and descend alongside the waterfalls.

Who will accompany me?
Our Alpine Guides are specialised in the canyons we propose; you could say they know every rock! They will know how to keep you and your friends entertained, taking care of you and teaching you how to tackle this wonderful adventure.

What should I bring?
You need your swimming costume already worn, a towel and two pairs of shoes: one pair of trainers (or similar) to use during the canyon and the other spare for the return home.

How will I be equipped?
A cool-down in summer is always nice, but considering that the waters in the canyons are not freezing but neither are they thermal, I’ll give you a five-and-a-half-millimetre wetsuit, a tank top and neoprene socks, a rappelling harness and helmet, and a buoyancy vest where needed.
