No Barriers Adventure Sport

Freizeit-PSO is a nonprofit society that allows disabled per-sons to do extreme adventure sports in summer, as well as interesting types of sports activities in the open air, at a fair price. Of particular importance are interactive holidays together with friends and family. This means that all programs are WITHOUT BARRIERS.

Pure action on the rock face, in the water and in the mountains for everyone – this is the motto of Freizeit-PSO. In collaboration with our experience educator, a variety of no-barrier adven-ture sports programs were developed that aim at integrating participants with and without dis-abilities equally. Every person should have the opportunity to overcome barriers and thereby to experience that certain "kick".

All activities offered can also be booked individually by arrangement.
