Sunrise Walking Tour

Start before dawn and hike to the summit just in time to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the Bavarian Alps.

The adventure begins in the early hours before dawn. Equipped with headlamps, you and your group will start the ascent guided by a professional tour leader. The trail leads through quiet forests and scenic paths, with short breaks to rest and enjoy the atmosphere of the awakening nature. Reaching the summit in time for sunrise, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountains bathed in golden light. Your guide will provide hot tea or coffee to enjoy while you take photos and soak in the moment. Afterward, the descent follows a gentle route back to the starting point.

How long do the activities last?

The exact duration depends on the activity, but most tours last between 2 and 4 hours including briefing, preparation, and breaks. Some longer hiking tours may take half a day, while more intensive adventures like canyoning or rafting can also extend to 4 hours or more. All activities are planned with enough time for rest, photo stops, and explanations from the guide. This way, you can enjoy the full experience without feeling rushed and still have energy left for the rest of your day.

What happens in case of bad weather?

Safety is always our top priority. If severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, storms, or dangerous water levels are expected, the tour may be postponed, adjusted, or cancelled. In such cases, you will be informed in advance by our team. Whenever possible, we will try to find an alternative date that fits your schedule, or you will receive a full refund. Light rain or cooler temperatures usually do not affect the activities, but in every case our guides will carefully evaluate the situation to guarantee both safety and enjoyment.

How fit do I need to be?

A basic fitness level is sufficient for most activities, as they are designed to be accessible for a wide range of participants. You should be able to walk, hike, or move comfortably for several hours at a moderate pace. For water activities like rafting or canyoning, swimming skills are required. Tours that involve more demanding sections will mention this in the description so you can choose the best option for you. Remember: it’s not about extreme athletic performance, but about enjoying nature and having fun in a safe way.

Are the activities suitable for children?

Many of our tours are family-friendly and suitable for children above a certain age, usually between 10 and 14 years. The exact minimum age depends on the type of activity, since some adventures require a bit more strength, coordination, or swimming ability. For younger participants, parental consent and supervision are required. Our guides are experienced in working with mixed groups and will always make sure that younger guests feel safe, supported, and included throughout the entire experience.

Is equipment provided?

Yes, all essential safety and activity-related equipment is provided on site and included in the tour price. For example, you will receive helmets, wetsuits, life jackets, harnesses, or headlamps depending on the activity. Our team will ensure that everything fits properly and explain how to use the equipment safely. You only need to bring your personal clothing and the items mentioned in the tour description. This way, you can focus fully on the experience without having to worry about buying or bringing special gear.

What should I bring with me?

We recommend bringing comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, and a refillable water bottle for hydration. Depending on the specific activity, you may also need swimwear, a towel, or an extra set of clothes to change into afterwards. For hiking tours, a light backpack for snacks and personal items is useful, while for water activities, sunscreen and secure footwear are important. All special requirements will be clearly listed in your booking confirmation so that you can prepare without stress.

Do I need prior experience to join the activity?

No, you do not need any prior experience to take part in our activities. Each tour is designed to be accessible to beginners while still offering excitement for more experienced participants. At the beginning of every activity, our professional guides will give you a detailed introduction, including safety instructions and step-by-step explanations. They will also adjust the pace, route, and level of difficulty to suit the group, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and can enjoy the adventure.
