Good general health, sure footedness and physical fitness are also required.

A minimum of 2 participants is required for the activity to take place.

Experience of canyoning is an advantage but not essential.

Due to unpredictable weather conditions, your guide reserves the right to change the canyon, departure time or conditions of participation if necessary.

Contact lenses or glasses are not a problem for canyoning. Please bring a lanyard for glasses and a waterproof case so that you can carry them into the canyon if necessary.

For safety reasons, it is advisable to remove jewellery and piercings before the activity. There is also a risk of losing them.
