Summary:
The Magliasina river offers a beautiful aquatic randonnée in a true river with plenty of water and large pools.
Access:
• Downstream: in the village of Curio (few parking spaces)
• Intermediate: without a shuttle, you can park in Novaggio at the Viale Gisòra parking lot (46°00'36"N 8°51'27"E) for a maximum of three hours, or look for other options nearby.
• Upstream: in Miglieglia, there are numerous parking spaces near the Monte Lema cable car.
Approach (40 min):
• With shuttle: From Miglieglia, follow the signs for the Maglio di Aranno (to be verified). Once at the maglio, continue as described below.
• Without shuttle: From the Novaggio parking lot, go to Via Vinéra and descend to the homonymous mill, cross the Bavòcc Torrent, and climb on the opposite bank, continuing to follow the Sentiero delle Meraviglie and the signs for the Maglio di Aranno. Upon reaching the maglio, cross the Magliasina River near a beautiful waterfall and then follow the river on the left bank until the trail begins to move away from the streambed. At that point, enter the water; the first canyoning section starts shortly after (46°01'09.3"N 8°51'56.6"E). About 40 minutes for 100 m ascent and 140 m descent.
Tour (3 h):
01- C25 (2 dx)
02- C12 (1 sx)
03- C12 (1 sx)
04- C12 (1 sx)
05- C8 (nat sx)
Return (40 min):
After the last jump (C8) into the large pool below Ur Mott da Leléta, take a trail on the left bank and then, through the bushes, on the right bank to reach the main path. Alternatively, simply continue along the riverbed until the bridge at 411 m elevation. From the bridge, climb the steep trail on the right bank up to the village of Curio, and from there return to Novaggio via the paved road. About 40 minutes for 220 m ascent.
