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.
