Introduction[edit]

Short canyon, definitely worth it as an addition to one of the nearby canyons.

Approach[edit]

Go up to the Pantenbrugg, and walk towards Hintersand. About 100m after passing by the Walenbach, a path leads up to the start of the canyon.

Descent[edit]

Some rappels are made on natural anchors (trees), the bigger ones have got single anchors.

Exit[edit]

Same as on your way up, unless you want to combine it with Linthschlucht.

Red tape[edit]
