The trip takes place directly downstream from the renowned Gudbrandsjuvet canyon, approximately 15 kilometers from Valldal, towards Trollstigen. The course is located in an breathtaking canyon, where placid water from Reinheimen National Park runs between vertical granite walls. Within the canyon we have a course of obstacles, travelling down the canyon. The first challenge is a via-ferrata, followed by a rope bridge, stretched across to the other side of the canyon. From there we move further into the canyon with via-ferrata, a new balance bridge, before do our first dive of the day from 3 meters height! After a short swim in the refreshing water, we climb up again, ready for more jumping, swimming, climbing and ziplining. The trip ends with a swim through a white water rapid at the end of the canyon.
