Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the Morge canyon?
Canyon descents on the Morge combine abseils, natural waterslide sections and jumps into pools. The biggest rushes hit during the rappel sequences where you descend directly through active waterfalls.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Some exposure to vertical drops is inevitable in canyoning. The Morge route is rated "Everybody welcome", so the descents are manageable, but expect genuine height above water and plan for that mentally before you go.
How long does the full experience last?
The full outing runs 5 hours, including briefing, gear-up, the canyon descent itself and the return hike out.
What's the price and what does it include?
The tour costs 176.45 CHF per person. Contact Valrafting directly to confirm exactly what gear and equipment is provided on the day.
