INFORMATION for CANYONING

The Sarca Valley came into existence in the glacial period. During the centuries the brooks have hollowed deep canyons. In this untamed mountain world the sun is passing through the rocks and playing with the crystal clear waterfalls. The mountain guides are always at your disposal. Our neopren suits prevent you from feeling the cold and make you experience an unique adventure.
WHO can participate in canyoning?
For the participation in canyoning or canyoneering there is no special physical condition required. It is not even necessary to know how to swim, however, the participants should be 'familiar' with water in order to enjoy and have fun. In the area of Lake Garda there are several canyons of each difficulty degree (beginner to experienced).
WHAT is Canyoning???
We would like to underline that canyoning consists in the descent (not ascent) of canyons/torrents/waterfalls by means of 'abseiling' (belayed on the rope of the mountain guide), sliding and/or jumping (optional). It is an activity with fun for all participants who want to discover an unknown and incontaminated world. The entire tour has a duration of ca. four hours (also for the beginners); in order to enjoy more, we do not advice the half-day canyon tours which have a much shorter duration.
WHO are your guides???
In these days there are many agencies and clubs which are offering canyoning tours. We would like to point out that - BY LAW - only licensed Mountain Guides UIAGM are permitted to accompany and guide guests on Canyoning tours. We stronly recommend to choose only Mountain Guides for your canyoning tour.
EQUIPMENT
What the participants should bring along: dry clothes to change, bathing costume, towel, trekking shoes or sneakers, an extra pair of shoes to change. We recommend to leave all valuables and/or what should not get wet in your hotel. This is the equipment which our guides will provide: neopren suits (long sleaves/long legs, similar as diving suit), neopren socks, helmet, harness, life-jacket, rope, carabiners. The rental of this equipment is free of charge. We would like to point out that the participants are wearing their own trekking shoes which will get wet. Therefore it is a MUST to bring along an extra pair of dry shoes to change.
MEETING POINT
Most of our canyons are located along the Western coast of Lake Garda. If our guests are staying in hotels in the area of Riva, Arco, Torbole, Nago etc., we are offering a free pick-up service with our mini-bus to and from the hotel. Otherwise we agree on a meeting point which can be reached easily.
INSURANCE
Our staff in the Alpine Climbing School in Arco consists of nationally and internationally licensed mountain guides who are registered with the national and international Mountain Guides Association (UIAGM). They are in the possession of a valid third party indemnity insurance.

An den Wochenenden begehen wir die Canyoningtour VIONE, welche sich in der Naehe von TIGNALE am Gardasee befindet. Die Canyoningtour dauert an die 4 Stunden und besteht aus vielen Spruengen (bis zu 9 m), einigen Abseilstrecken (bis 50 m) sowie unzaehligen und interessanten Rutschbahnen. Die Schlucht des Canyons ist breit und sehr sonnig, was bedeutet, dass man nicht frieren muss und ausserdem wunderbare Fotos waehrend der Canyoningtour machen kann. Der Canyon ist fuer alle geeignet: die Mutigsten koennen sehr interessante Spruenge machen und somit die mittlere Schwierigkeit des Canyoning erfahren; die Anfaenger hingegen koennen anstatt der Spruenge abgeseilt werden und somit ihr erstes Erlebnis im Canyon in aller Ruhe geniessen. Unsere Bergfuehrer Guide Alpine Arco koennen auf eine 20 jaehrige Erfahrung zurueck blicken und haben sehr viel Geduld. Unser Ausgangspunkt befindet sich beim Ristorante "AL POGGIO" in Piovere (Ortsteil von Tignale), wo Frau Giacomina am Ende der Canyoningtour gerne fuer Sie einen Teller Pasta zubereitet.

	KALYMNOS ROCK CLIMBING AND SEA The history of climbing on Kalymnos is very recent. Only in 1996, an Italian climbers couple has discovered Kalymnos as a climbers' paradise. Kalymnos offers a great number and variety of lime stone rocks with different kinds of difficulty degrees (overhangs, caves with stalactites, slabs...). At the moment there are about 50 crags with more than 1000 single pitch routes. There are also some multi-pitch routes available.

Garda Trentino: the first region with a Mediterranean climate and flora that you find in Europe travelling south Lake Garda brings us the gift of a last and unexpected breath of Mediterranean before reaching the passageways of the Dolomites heading north. Here, the intense blue of Lake Garda touches the mountains; the olive branches speak with the wind, and the lemons mature in the sun. At one time, Goethe, Kafka, Mann and Rilke found inspiration for their genius precisely here, in the Garda Trentino. Today, the same atmosphere and natural beauty has remained intact and has become the ideal scenario for a vacation where it is both easy to relax and have fun: sailing and wind surfing on the waves of Lake Garda, mountain biking, trekking and rock climbing the mountainsor canyoning along exciting torrent rapids are just some of the daily sports in a world where it is easy to run into old castles and where fairy tales are celebrated every year on magic, mid-summer's night. Garda Trentino is all that: a world at man's dimensions where the flavours of food, wine and olive oil are real.

Garda Trentino: das erste Gebiet mit mediterranem Klima und Mittelmeerflora, dem Sie auf der Reise zum Sueden mitten in Europa begegnen; einen letzten ungeahnten Hauch des Mittelmeers schenkt Ihnen der Gardasee bevor Sie Richtung Norden die Dolomitenpaesse erreichen. Hier beruehrt das intensive Blau des Gardasees die Berge, die Blaetter der Olivenbaeume fluestern im Wind und in der Sonne reifen die Zitronen. Goethe, Kafka, Mann und Rilke fanden in Garda Trentino Inspiration fuer ihre genialen Werke. Diese suedliche Atmosphaere und die Schoenheit der Natur sind bis heute intakt geblieben. Sie werden zum idealen Szenario fuer einen Urlaub, in dem es Ihnen leicht gemacht wird, Erholung und Unterhaltung zu kombinieren. Segeln und Windsurf auf den Wellen des Gardasees, Mountainbikefahrten, Wanderungen auf den Bergpfaden klettern und Kletterkurse an den Felswaenden, oder Canyoning in den Stromschnellen eines Wildbaches: dies sind nur einige der Sportarten, die Ihnen Garda Trentino bietet. Eine Umgebung, in der Sie sich in alten Schloessern wiederfinden und wo jedes Jahr in einer magischen Sommernacht Maerchen lebendig werden. Garda Trentino ist ein menschengerechtes Umfeld, wo der Geschmack der Gerichte, des Weins und des Olivenoels noch urspruenglich ist.

Garda Trentino: la prima regione con clima e flora mediterranei che si incontra in Europa viaggiando verso Sud; il Lago di Garda ci regala un ultimo imprevisto respiro di Mediterraneo prima di raggiungere i passi delle Dolomiti verso Nord. Qui l' azzurro intenso del Lago di Garda tocca le montagne; le fronde degli ulivi parlano con il vento, i limoni maturano al sole. Un tempo, Goethe, Kafka, Mann e Rilke trovavano ispirazione per il loro genio proprio nel Garda Trentino e sul Lago di Garda. Oggi la stessa atmosfera e bellezza naturale sono rimaste intatte, e diventano lo scenario ideale per vacanze in cui e' facile rilassarsi e divertirsi allo stesso tempo: vela e wind surf sulle onde del Lago di Garda, mountain bike, trekking e arrampicata in montagna, o canyoning lungo le eccitanti rapide di un torrente, sono solo alcune degli sport quotidiani, in un mondo in cui e' facile imbattersi in antichi castelli e dove le fiabe sono celebrate ogni anno in una magica notte di mezza estate. Il Garda Trentino e' tutto questo: un mondo a dimensione d' uomo e di bambino, dove i sapori del cibo, del vino e dell' olio sono ancora veri.
