Where can I go canyoning in Switzerland with Valrafting?
Valrafting offers several canyoning routes in Switzerland, including trips in Valais, Vaud, Gondo, Grimsel and the Interlaken region. Available routes depend on the season, weather, water conditions and current availability.
What is the difference between canyoning and aquarando?
Canyoning can include jumps, abseils, swimming sections, natural slides and more technical passages through a gorge. Aquarando, also known as aquatic hiking, generally follows a more accessible water route with fewer technical rope sections. The exact programme depends on the selected route.
Is canyoning suitable for beginners and families?
Yes, selected canyoning routes are suitable for beginners and families. For example, Gondo Family Canyoning is designed as a family-oriented option. Minimum age, swimming ability and physical requirements vary according to the route.
Do I need previous canyoning experience and must I be able to swim?
Previous experience is not required for many introductory routes, but participants must generally be able to swim and be in suitable physical condition. More demanding routes may require greater confidence with heights, water, abseiling and longer periods of physical activity.
What equipment is provided for a canyoning trip?

Depending on the route, this may include a wetsuit, neoprene footwear, helmet, buoyancy equipment and the technical equipment required for rope sections.
