Description
This canyoning camp in Sementina in Ticino combines several guided tours with a shared camp week. You can flexibly choose your package between two and nine days. Expect clear pools, granite gorges, waterfalls, and new canyons every day.
On the first day, beginners and new campers receive an introduction to the essential techniques and equipment. Afterwards, the group picks the next canyons together for the following day. As the camp progresses, the level of difficulty usually increases.
A special part of the camp is the group atmosphere in the evenings. Additionally, a helicopter tour is available, where you fly by helicopter to higher starting points. If you want to take a rest day, you can alternatively go canoeing on the Ticino river with the provider.
