Important safety notice

Canyoning is a demanding and potentially dangerous outdoor activity. It requires physical fitness, technical skill, proper equipment and thorough preparation. The information in this app does not replace qualified training, local reconnaissance or up-to-date weather and water level reports. Use is at your own risk. Check current conditions before each trip and, when in doubt, consult experienced canyoning guides.
