Frequently asked questions
What does “dry canyoning” actually mean?
Dry canyoning takes place in canyons with little or no water. Instead of swimming and sliding through water flows, you navigate the terrain by scrambling over rock, jumping onto stone surfaces and rappelling down dry cliff faces. It's a pure technical experience focused on the rock itself.
What is the most intense moment of this tour?
The rappels down the vertical limestone walls of Supramonte are the peak adrenaline point. With no water cushion below, every descent is a direct confrontation with the rock face and the void beneath you.
Do you need prior canyoning experience?
No prior canyoning experience is required, but the Sporty physical level means you should be fit and comfortable with heights. The guide from Guida Alpina Stefano Michelazzi handles all technical instruction on site.
In which languages does the guide lead the tour?
The tour is available in Italian, English, French, Spanish and German.
