What works, what does not?
- Light rain or clouds: No problem. You get wet anyway, wetsuit keeps warm.
- Heavy rain or thunderstorms: Risk of flash floods or lightning. Tour is cancelled.
- High water level: Water level is decisive. If it rises too much from prolonged rain or snowmelt, tour does not start.
- Foehn, storm, extreme weather: If safety is at risk, nothing happens.
What happens if cancelled?
If a tour cannot take place, first checked:
- Is there another safe gorge?
- Is a replacement date possible?
- If both fail, money is refunded.
Weather is not the enemy. It sets the rules; and the rules are: safety first.
