Itinerary
- Sunday: Arrivals and Welcome
- You can arrive in Bad Hindelang throughout the day. After settling in, there will be an introductory meeting with our guide followed by a welcome dinner.
-
- Monday: Team Treasure Hunt
- A treasure hunt with a difference is the best possible way to start this activity week and get acquainted with the other families on the holiday. We will have to negotiate all sorts of tasks to find the treasure. These tasks vary from week to week but expect to be confronted by the likes of: a spider’s web, building a rope bridge, tree climbing, a flying fox zip wire over a deep gorge, a team skiing competition and the traditional Bavarian art of Sumo wrestling!! Quite simply it’s fun and laughter from start to finish. A barbeque lunch is included.
-
- Tuesday: Tubing
- It’s wet but not too wild on the River Iller, which makes it ideal for tubing. We spend the day twisting and turning on the beautiful stretch between Oberstdorf and Sonthofen. An hilarious experience!
-
- Wednesday: Canyoning
- Today we head for a family friendly canyon and an exhilarating river descent. Enjoy natural rock slides, abseiling or jumping into deep pools of water as we descend the course of the canyon.
-
- Thursday: Free Day
- Today you can further explore the region by visiting the Neuschwanstein Castle or try additional activities.
-
- Friday: High Ropes Adventure Course
- Our high ropes course is set in the forest above the village of Sonthofen. We work our way through a number of rope tasks, each creating a unique mental and physical problem and requiring a different technique.
-
- Saturday: Mini Rafting
- Crossing the border into Austria we head for the Lech River. Mini-rafting is rather like white water rafting but, as the name suggests, in smaller inflatables. This gives you far more control over your raft and a far greater sense of individuality. A fabulous way to explore any river. There will be a farewell dinner this evening.
-
- Sunday: Depart or Extend your Stay
- Today we transfer back to the airport for your return flights or you may choose to extend your stay either in the Allgau Region, Austria or down by the Bodenese close to the Swiss/German border - the choice is yours!
