Canyoning Lake Garda: jumps, slides and abseils for beginners
Every jump has a bolted alternative, so you choose your own line down the canyon.
Gumpenfever is a guided canyoning activity on Lake Garda where you jump, slide, climb, abseil and swim down the river with a trained guide and small group of up to ten people. All jumps higher than one meter are secured by bolts, so each one is optional. The trip runs about two and a half hours and includes wetsuit, helmet, harness, safety equipment, bottled water and a free photo service from your guide's waterproof camera.
The Experience
The canyon starts at the river and follows it downward through the water. You climb, slide into pools, jump where you choose to, swim across stretches, and abseil down the rock faces—everything is guided and every jump taller than a meter has a bolted anchor, so you can take the alternative route if you want one. The group stays small, capped at ten people per guide, which means the pace holds and the guide can watch everyone. Tremosine has run canyoning here since 1992, so the route is established and the bolts are maintained.
Bring sneakers or sturdy trekking shoes that can get soaked, a bathing suit and a towel. Everything else—wetsuit, socks, helmet, harness and safety gear—is supplied. Pack dry clothes and shoes to change into afterward. Your guide carries a waterproof camera and photographs the whole run; the pictures are sent to you free by download link after the tour, so you have proof of what you did and something to show people at home.
The tour takes about two and a half hours from start to finish. It suits anyone ten years old and up who wants to move through water and rock without spending a full day on it. The guide speaks English, Italian or German depending on your booking.

Is this one for you?The bolted alternatives on every jump over one meter mean you're not locked into a single line—you choose your own path down the canyon based on how you feel that day, which removes the pressure to match everyone else's comfort level.
