“Perfect for beginners and the first canyoning adventure. We had a lot of fun—a fantastic guided tour through the gorge with stunning nature and impressively tall cliffs. Highly recommended! And watch out for the meeting point! Don’t follow the Google link on this page.”

“The flight was great as was Ralph my pilot. The only disappointment was the flight time was only 15 minutes not the 20. 🤷🏼♂️”
“Great facilities- friendly staff . We got the cog wheel train from Vitznau to the Kaltbad and then hiked up to the Rigi Klum. We had lunch there and then hiked back to the KaltbadSpa. It was so relaxing after the hi out .”
“A delightful visit for the taste buds. The interactive route was very engaging. Definitely worth recommending.”
