From Alpe Colla the path is not always clear, we left the main path shortly after the metal stair and went horizontally till reaching a rock ridge with a tree, MC10 till another tree with C40 to enter the canyon. Final 55m use the old french chains to reach the newest two separated anchor points high, that let you go down close the water flow and with easy recovery.
