The Introductory Canyoning Course is designed for anyone who wants to build autonomy and progress safely through beginner-level canyons. Participants learn the fundamental techniques of canyon descent and the tools needed to manage equipment, read topos, and identify hazards in the environment. Key topics: risk management · abseil techniques · prusik blocking · anchor rigging · handlines · equipment management · reading canyoning topos · origins of canyoneering. Course structure (2–3 days, depending on group progress): Day 1 focuses on ground practice: equipment overview, rigging abseils, using a descender, handlines and blocking knots, with a closing debrief. Day 2 involves a dry or low-water canyon to put everything into practice. Day 3 (if applicable) tackles an aquatic canyon, where participants learn to identify and manage real canyoning hazards.
