Avvicinamento: From the vehicle, a bad track leads downhill at an acute angle to the path on which we came, initially heading southwest. Then it bends to the east and we are in the valley. We follow the track along the right-hand side of the valley until a suitable access to the left into the stream presents itself.
Giro: A total of 15 rappels. If the first rappels are largely blocked with pipes, you can bypass them on the rock to the left above. There are several options for the 82m rappel with various transfers, in particular a "dry" variant of the Via Ferrata is offered, even with water flow. The 82m rappel can be abseiled on the edge at the top right outside the waterfall. There is an intermediate stand after 32m, then 50m. There is a siphon here if the water flow is high. If this is to be feared, the section can be bypassed via the Via Verrata. If this option is chosen, however, the verticality rating changes to VI. The belay is very exposed via the Via Ferrata, but can be reached safely. (An emergency exit is also possible from there. 2022 explored but not verified. The beginning is already quite exposed climbing in the third degree). If you rappel from the chain anchor at the exit of the via ferrata, it goes down about 30 meters and 10 meters to the side downstream. There you will find the next belay (follow the rock ledge and make sure you clip in on the way). The intermediate belay is located at the exit of a very narrow ledge and offers space for a maximum of two people (no visual contact with the first belay). From here, rappel approx. 65m. See an extreme situation in the video: https://youtu.be/138eS5x-tEo (the first canyonist on the right on the usual abseil route, the others then to the left of the via ferrata, but not from the exit, but from the middle...). Headlamp not absolutely necessary as long as the tour is undertaken "during the day". The enclosed area after the C82 is in twilight. Directly after the c82 comes a c25, mc3, R12 or c8, r3 after which you are back in daylight and almost at the exit of the canyon. This is followed by C5, C6 under clamping block, c4.

Accesso: From Ierapetra westwards along the sea (rarely seen) to Myrtos (14 km). Past the village, the road (no. 97) turns inland towards Ano Viannos and climbs uphill. After 16 km we turn left at Kefalovrisi and drive to Amiras. From there we drive with two cars down to the village of Arvi by the sea (if we only have 1 car, we turn off onto the road on the left about 4.3 km after Amiras - large trees on the left before the road, open space behind it, 2008 - and leave the car here). When we arrive in Arvi, it is best to park one car at the eastern end of the harbor (about 700 m from the exit). With the other one we drive back and up again for 6.7 km. Where there are some larger trees on the right-hand side after a treeless area (east of the road and north of the track), we take the track that goes eastwards here. After about 100 m, at the junction, take the northbound track (i.e. left), at the next junction 200 m further on, take the track to the right (eastbound). Continue along the slope at the same height for another 600 m until you reach the place before a sharp left-hand bend, where you park the vehicle.
Ritorno: At the canyon exit, take the dirt road and continue straight ahead along the stream for approx. 250 m. When you reach the road bridge, turn right, then left again at the next T-junction (50 m further on) and then straight on to the harbor.

2025-10-04: Everything in perfect order. Very nice and worthwhile tour!
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot take the road above the cemetery to the right until the church (Santa Maria del Castello) --> behind the church a steep pilgrim path leads up next to the already visible canyon --> follow the steep path and pass the houses on the right (parallel to the canyon) --> after the last impassable steep part there is a slightly sloping path (sloping terrain) to the entry at about 460Hm.
Giro: Arrived at the first pool at approx. 450Hm it starts immediately with the rappel in the water --> over a removable traverese rope one comes to the first rappel point of approx. 30m with a sharp edge --> after this point the canyon becomes immediately narrower --> 2 approx. 15m rappel points follow whereby the 2. The second one leads through a narrow chute (problematic with a lot of water) --> a 25m and 20m rappel into a big basin --> now the canyon opens --> here you have the possibility to get out on the right side (small swimming pools) --> via a removable traverese rope you reach the chain anchor --> from there you have a super view into the C50 narrow waterfall (big water pressure and small basin!!!) --> the next place is again narrow and unclear, the water shoots in zig zag 25m down into a small hollow (very nice) --> the canyon opens again and you could get out here re already --> there follows another slide or jump from up to 20m (however, the big pool is only on the right side deep enough --> the next places are unproblematic --->finally you jump about 8m into the pool at about 280Hm.

Accesso: From the freeway junction north of Bellinzona take the N2 towards Biasca. Passing through Claro and Cresciano we reach Osogna (11.4 km from the highway to the bridge over the Nala). After the bridge over the Nala, drive up to the cemetery and leave the car there.
Ritorno: From the last basin at 280Hm it goes right the way into the place --> here immediately right back to the parking lot.

Avvicinamento: From the upper parking lot, descend on the mentioned slope and where it makes a left turn, turn right onto a path that takes us down to the stream in 15 min (entry). If you have only 1 car, you can go up from Lodrino on a trail to Legri, then take the tarred road to the left to the upper parking area described. Access then about 1 hr. 15 min. in total.
Giro: The Lodrino is accessible without risk only after prolonged drought. If you look up into the narrows at the exit of the canyon (easily accessible from the orographic left side), you get at least an approximate impression of the situation. After some smaller slides and jumps, you are in front of the first real rappel point, a winding 15m channel. If the water level allows it, rappel 15m from the left, or cross to the right to the other exit of the pool and jump down 10m from there. After a few nice bends, you are in front of an almost vertical 11m slide. Dangerous rock bay on the left, keep right when surfacing. Can also be rappelled left. This is followed by an 8m rappel from anchors on the left and two narrow, winding rock canyons before the canyon widens considerably (pathless escape on the left). The second part of the gorge begins with a 7m slide and a 7m jump into a deep pool. This is followed by a very photogenic 9m rappel (Can also be jumped). The next, wild-looking 5m rappel either rappel in the water or bypass right on traverese rope. At the big rappel from two anchors on the right, rappel 5m (install rope traverse) to reach the actual belaystation on the left under the edge. Here it goes down 45m into a large pool. Here you can escape to the right. Pass the dam on the right and downclimb through the chaos of blocks. The last waterfall either rappel 37m from the right in the water jet, or traverse to the left over fixed ropes to a dry belaystation. Finally, rappel another 22m from the belaystation at the top right. Exit possible on a paved path after the 45m rappel. The chute at the beginning of the penultimate (37m) rappel can be avoided by rappelling out of the wire entanglement on the left above; but the turbulence down in the big pool cannot be avoided. Can be well connected with Lodrino med.

Accesso: From the freeway junction (Gotthard/Bernardino) north of Bellinzona on the N 2 northwards. Shortly after passing through Cresciano, turn left and drive to the other side of the valley to Lodrino (approx. 12 km from the interchange). Enter the village (on the right) and after the bridge over the stream take the 3rd street on the left. Park your first car behind the cemetery (not at the storage hall) (do not use the parking spaces in front of the supermarket and under the trees in the center of the village). With the second car, drive north towards Iragna and after almost 2 km (from Lodrino), immediately after the houses of Rodaglio, at a commercial establishment (GPS coordinates: 46°19'02.46 "N / 8°58'19.70 "E ), just after an inconspicuous chapel, turn left onto a small road that takes us up to the houses of Legri (a fork to the right). - The road continues straight ahead until it ends in an open area (helipad) (or continues as a dirt road to the west). Park the second car here. The road to the upper parking lot is a private road with toll.
Ritorno: After leaving the bottleneck left over the stone wall and gravel road back to the parking lot.

Avvicinamento: From the parking lot walk in the direction of the village center/bridge. Then left along the creek --> after the barrier you can see the last rappel (water level control) --> on the left side you pass the material ropeway --> hiking trail up past the back of the houses --> hiking trail goes over small stone bridge --> signposts --> small House --> stone steps with railing --> iron gate --> chapel --> leave hiking trail at the right bend at approx. 450Hm --> left narrow path down to the creek --> right past the rock (put on harness for rock) --> ahead to the tree --> from the tree 6m rappel (entry 420Hm).
Giro: From the beginning you already have a very impressive view --> the first small pool you can slide (depending on gravel or stones) --> then follows immediately the approx. 40m waterfall (very slippery and sharp edges). This place can also be rappelled left 45m (!) outside the water (reachable via rope traverse) --> two short slides (flat) --> C22m downclimb (can also be rappelled outside the water) --> downclimb --> stone bridge --> short rappel or jump (5m) --> narrow channel (! Slippery) --> downclimb right about 20m (final part can also be rappelled) --> downclimb --> 2m downclimb right --> jump 6m (or rappel) --> final waterfall about 15m (very slippery, sharp edge) --> depending on the depth of the gump the last 2 places can also be rappelled (also possibility to rappel).

Commento: Ponte Cin
Avvicinamento: Cross the stream and on the other side of the village follow the signs to a mule track ("Sentiero 13"). Follow the path for 35 minutes to a signposted junction and take the lower path. You soon cross the landslide zone with two large rock debris below the path and then reach the entry point at the Ponte Cin bridge. Fee for ascent - 2023 collection hut was not yet occupied at 08.45 h.
Giro: Entry is at the bridge over the stream. Here you can jump directly to 8.6m (descente). In the following, jumps up to 12m and small, well-equipped rappels up to 10m alternate. In the lower third there are wonderful tuff formations similar to the Maglia. After a rappel between huge boulders, the canyon opens up. The last point is the jump from the dam wall. Bathers are often to be found here. Watch out! There is a place (picture 12 shows it from below) that is often used by commercial operators to build ropeways. There is a VERY well-equipped belaystation on the left which is only moderately suitable for rappels as the rope tends to get stuck in a crevice here. If you are rappelling, then rather orog. right a little further ahead. You can jump at this point, but it is essential to check out the spot carefully. The pool looks much deeper from above than it is and is full of large stones. The water level can best be assessed at the entry. There are no obvious canyons in the critical part of the canyon. The "signposted" emergency exits described by descente are non-existent. In some places, the slope can certainly be climbed with difficulty on the left. There are plenty of places to get out of the water.
