The level 1 canyoning course in Madeira is based on
the training for professional canyoning guides from the CIC, the Commission Internationale
de Canyon. A high-quality training of the various contents is guaranteed and nothing
stands in the way of walking through simple gorges on your own after the one-week course.
The completion of the canyoning training does not entitle you to lead
groups commercially, but is aimed at canyoning enthusiasts who, instead of relying
on a guide, prefer to set up abseiling stations themselves and would like to organize
tours independently.
Within 7 days you will learn the necessary tools such as material handling, the various
abseiling techniques, setting up stands and much more in a real canyoning
environment. You will receive the necessary material free of charge. Your trainer is on
site around the clock and sits at the table with you during meals.
The offer of our Canyoningschool includes accommodation as you wish,
single or double rooms, apartments or holiday homes, or even rudimentary camping in tents.
Your catering consists of a morning breakfast, a daily packed lunch and a delicious dinner
or a barbecue evening. We also organize the transfer from the airport and to the individual
tours for you.

Welcome to the Level 1 canyoning course in Madeira!
In just one week you will learn how to independently descend a canyon. I will
impart all the necessary techniques and knowledge to you, using the latest learning
methods. After short practical units, we immediately transfer the technique we have
just learned to a real canyoning environment. The course is structured like a
pyramid: simple knots and basic techniques serve as the basis, which are used
and refined with each next day in order to be used again elsewhere. The broad
base solidifies itself over the week and you learn the additional nuances again
in a short lesson in a relaxed and calm atmosphere at the active base. After the
tour, we can repeat individual content that is not yet secure if requested.
The practical work is supplemented by individual theory blocks in which you,
for example, get to know the characteristics of the material or deal with the weather.
At the end there is the title Canyon BegeherIn Level 1, which I have awarded.
Our cook Sibel takes care of the physical well-being so that you can concentrate
fully on the course content. With us, your comfortable accommodation is also part
of the "Canyoning Course" travel package - you don't need to worry about anything
other than your learning progress on site.
Choose your accommodation according to your ideas: room, apartment, complete holiday home for you and your friends or camp on the campsite.
One of the travel components is the full board, Sibel takes care of your energy and your diverse ideas for breakfast, packed lunches and dinner or barbecue.
During the course you will get to know five canyons in Madeira and we will use one day for rope exercises. Individual theoretical units complete the package.
Your canyoning course is very dependent on the respective water levels and weather conditions.
Therefore, the tours given are intended to serve as examples. In any case, you
will experience fascinating canyon descents that match the respective learning steps.
