Einer der ästhetischsten Canyons des Tessins, auch wenn er nicht sehr eng ist.
Beautiful pools, little cut in. Siphon at the foot of the first large waterfall (avoid at all costs on a small RD course at the edge of the pool). On this climb, the first person must arrive without a rucksack. Sunny around noon, beautiful colors of the rocks and water. One of the most aesthetic canyons in Ticino, even if it is not very narrow.

Coole Sache, wenn es weniger abgelegen wäre, würde es sicher zu den Klassikern zählen.
Cool thing, if it were less remote it would certainly be one of the classics.
