Summary:
Short canyon with 7 rappels, a couple of them in the water. Nice to do it after Serenello or Tomè.
Access:
Same as Serenello.
Approach (40 min):
Walk up to Pianello, go through the village and when you see the very last house, head into the rocks you see in the forest (alt. 760m). It is possible to fully go down to the creek without rope, but it's wiser to take it out, at least once 25m.
Tour (1 h 30):
When you come to the first drop, you'll first think what the hell did you even get to, it's just boulders after that first drop. But as the tour moves on, you'll notice those Boulder rappels aren't too bad actually. To finish off, the last 2 drops are in the very nice red rock that's also in Serenello.
Return (10 min):
Same as Serenello.

Short canyon to do in the afternoon. Bolting could need some improvement though. We jumped into the maggia to float to the bridge at the end.

Hydrology:
Small to medium catchment area, a lot of pebbles, so anchors probably don't survive well.
