LOGISTICS
Soft canyoning is an excellent option for those who want to experience the thrill of canyoning in a more relaxed and accessible way. It’s an opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy fun adventures, and create unforgettable memories, even for those who aren’t used to extreme challenges or high levels of technical skill.
The goal of soft canyoning is to offer a more relaxed canyoning experience, suitable for a wider audience. It’s ideal for families, groups of different ages, or those new to this activity.
During a soft canyoning excursion, participants can still enjoy the beauty of the canyon, immerse themselves in crystal-clear waters, take short swims, and slide down natural slides. The experience is still adventurous and engaging, but with a lower level of challenge than traditional canyoning.
We’ll meet at our canyoning center, right at the base of the Solvano River, where, after an introduction, we’ll don all the technical gear needed for the excursion.
From our center, we’ll drive to the upper parking lot (3 minutes), from where we’ll be at the first dive in 1 minute. A safety and activity briefing is in order, and off we go!
Fun is guaranteed for adults and children alike.
Once the excursion is over, we’ll walk back to our base (about 2 minutes), where we’ll change and pick up the cars at the top.
For general information about the activity, download the briefing and the activity sheet.
