Under the guidance and safety of an experienced mountain guide you will abseil down a 100-metre high dam wall.

Abseiver event in the team

Under the professional supervision of a trained mountain guide, you will be shown how to abseil on a short practice route to prepare for the big wall. Now it is time to get serious. Who goes first or first? The mountain guide explains every step. Put on the belay device, climb over the railing and now it is time to take courage and let go of the railing. With 100 m of air under your feet the adrenalin level rises. Slowly you descend and now you hang freely on the mountain rope. All around you is nothing but air, concrete and a fantastic view. Slowly you go on until you have ground under your feet again. After the adventure, a small aperitif awaits the thirsty participants at the foot of the dam wall.

Visit to the dam wall with hike

As an alternative to abseiling, you can visit the dam wall. The Gigerwald dam is wedged between the thousand metre high rock faces of the Ringelspitze massif.

After the welcome, an employee of the power plant guides the guests through the corridors of the dam for about one and a half hours. With many numbers, facts and stories about the construction and operation of the plant, he explains the complex subject matter in a vivid way. After the guided tour, a small refreshment awaits the participants.

A narrow road leads from the dam wall through tunnels to the rear end of the reservoir, to the Walser settlement of St. Martin. Depending on the weather, a fine lunch is served in the restaurant or on the terrace.

After the meal, you will go on a one-hour digestive hike, which will lead to the world record spruce. The wonderful view into the valley compensates for all the efforts of the ascent. The easy way back brings everyone back to the restaurant in half an hour. An optional coffee and cake stop is on the programme before returning to the valley.
