International Canyoning Festival Greece 2023

12 - 21 May 2023

Festival Participation Terms

Canyoning is an extreme sport in nature better practiced after serious theoretical education and physical practice with professional instructors. Beginners trying to get into canyons are highly advised to refrain before they follow professional courses by authorized canyoning specialists. Canyoning is a sport that can lead to death if certain attitude and techniques are not taken into consideration.

Canyoning.ai is a portal that offers valuable information and tips on the sport. Also we promote various events in a worldwide range for all canyoners in the world, their families and friends, as well as new members in the canyoning communities of every country on the map that has mountains and canyons. Additionally we organize the International Canyoning Festival Greece 2023 (www.icfg.gr).

To participate in the canyoning activities promoted in our portal you are obliged to agree and follow our terms in order to stay safe and healthy during a canyoning descent. We hold NO responsibility what so ever if you get even slightly injured or put yourself in the outmost danger.

Canyoning is the most amazing sport in nature where each person is responsible for himself yet for all the members of the canyoning team at the same time. Therefore, take a minute to read our events participation terms when enrolling for a professional, guided event or festival promoted in our portal:

• Inform the persons in charge for any health issues (ex. a bad knee, a weak heart, fear of height, asthma, allergies, panic attacks, low sugar, etc.)

• It is good for every case to have a medical certificate from a pathologist or cardiologist for participation in sports activities.

• Knowledge of swimming and good physical condition are essential elements for canyoning.

• Enter the descent if you are in a good mood. If for some reason you are not very well, can’t move comfortably and swim, let the descent leader know.

• Choose to always cooperate politely inside the canyon and follow the instructions given by the best canyoner in the group who is usually considered the leader of the descent.

• Do not enter the descent if you have drunk alcohol or drugs and if you have issues with fear of heights, acrophobia, panic attacks, fainting tendencies.

• Do not enter a descent if you are with your partner or a friend and you are fighting.

• All participants assume individual responsibility for their personal safety.

• Weather conditions and the condition of the canyon depending on the water flow or other factors must be treated with respect. So the coordinators of a canyon descent have the right to make changes. If the planned route is not safe for the group, it can be changed and all participants must comply. Safety comes first.

• In case highly experienced amateur canyoners, guides and professional instructors / team members accompany your descent, they usually manage the rigging and ropes and help all participants enter the rappels safely. They are NOT responsible for any injuries while moving and hiking in/out of the canyon.

• In the event of an unforeseen natural hazard such as an earthquake, landslide, rockfall, etc. which may cause a fatality, there will be NO demands on any of the members of the descent team nor Canyoning.ai.

• As written all over our portal, canyoning belongs to dangerous, extreme sports in nature and everything is possible in such an activity.

• The organizers always inform about the safety factors and are NOT responsible for any incidents during the descent, vertical movement on the rocks, diving, rappelling, swimming, sliding, climbing, climbing and any action the participants do in the canyons.

• Choose to be insured with public/private insurance. In case of injury there is NO claim from the organizers of the Festival.

• International Canyoning Festival Greece 2023 (www.icfg.gr) will offer extra personal insurance with each subscription.

I read and accept the above terms and wish to participate in the canyoning activities promoted by Canyoning.ai
