Last weekend, the third technical meeting dedicated to canyoning professionals concluded in the beautiful setting of the Ötztal in Austria. The meeting, previously held in Arco and the Sierra de Guara, saw the participation of professionals from all over Europe. From Friday to Sunday, canyoning experts from Spain, Slovenia, Italy, Germany, and Austria exchanged insights on advanced techniques and accompaniment methods in canyoning activities.
After an introductory session on Friday evening, the meeting gained momentum with two full days of activities. Participants discussed key topics such as canyon progression, technical evaluation, and injury management. During the event, the professionals descended three torrents in the area, using the natural setting to apply the new techniques and strategies discussed.
A special thanks goes to the Amprosi family for hosting at the Canyoning Feel Free center, to the Tyrolean guides (Martin Schrott),for the excellent organization.
Looking to the future, the next fall meeting might be held in Switzerland, but the final decision will be made by the canyoning technical commission, which will evaluate the proposals and logistical availability. All professionals in the sector are invited to join the 2025 edition, with the aim of continuing to foster dialogue and the sharing of experiences and skills.
