Mulitt: Inizio del canyon
2025-07-13: Partly slippery
2024-09-30: Got off after the railroad bridge ortog. right to the path up. Scenic way back about 5` to the PP.
2024-09-28: The second last chop has to be replaced !!!
Avvicinamento: Parking lot at the train station: Access is possible directly from Intragna via the hiking trail to Pila (45 min.). Alternative shuttle: From the parking lot, follow the hiking trail uphill from the hairpin bend and enter the stream at the bridge over the stream. The cable car has not been running since 2023; you could have taken it to the Pila middle station.
Giro: Sequence of medium-high rappels; some jumps are also possible. There are always opportunities to get off. In the lower third, near the houses, there is a section that is usually very slippery and sometimes disgusting, where there is always dirt to be found. However, the three final abseils towards Melezza are good again.

Ritorno: Either exit before the last (18m) rappel into the Melezza on the left or rappel down to the Melezza and climb up again directly on the left bank, following the path to the village. Approx. 30 min. Alternatively, get off further up at a steel door "Privado" (open lattice door with steel cables), follow a small mini-climb onto the road that leads to the village and back to the station.

Accesso: From Locarno in the direction of Centovalli to Intragna (8 km), park your car in the parking lot of the cable car (to Costa) (parking fee). Alternatively, you can also reach the summit by transferring vehicles (see Brunner, B. op. cit.).

Valegg dell Pian: Inizio del canyon
2025-09-06: Better grip than expected. After the rain yesterday (30mm) and the last time the canyon was in superiore conditions.
2025-05-30: Always very slippery in the water, but it goes well. The water is already very warm here.
2025-05-26: Quite slippery in the water, most of it can be walked on dry. Beautiful clear pools at the top, becoming darker at the bottom.
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot, follow the road back towards Motta. A staircase and an access road to a meadow appear on the left, which you follow. At the edge of the forest, a small path branches off to the left (blue markings from RIC 2018, arrow with wavy lines). First you cross the Vallegg della Rozzera, after about 10 minutes you reach a small, picturesque settlement, at the exit of which a path leads to Cortasc, another small settlement. Here you look for the path between the houses to the stream, which you reach after about 10 minutes.
Giro: The tour begins with small steps and some slippery spots. When you reach the lower houses again, it becomes open and sunny and the rappels higher.

Avvicinamento: From the church we follow the road going up to Contra 150 m and then turn right onto a footpath. This crosses the road again, then our stream (informative low view of the final waterfalls) and then goes up on the orographic. right side of the stream. In the process, it tangents twice more road serpentines (the second time a few meters on the road to the right) before it goes up in a fairly straight line. Where the view of the stream opens up on the righthand side, we find the access.
Giro: Sequence of rappels in a gorge in the settlement area. Can be attached to another tour to round off the day and combined with a visit to Locarno. Useful also when other streams have too high water flow. Nearby Carcale, Verzasca, Pesta and Cugnasco.

Accesso: From the 4-lane road that (coming from Bellinzona) runs towards Locarno, we turn off at the Tenero (Locarno) exit, turn left after the railroad underpass and after a right turn we come to a traffic circle, which we leave again in the original (northern) direction. Near the church that now towers in front of us, we look for a useful parking place.
Ritorno: After the final waterfall out onto the road and on it left to the church.

Avvicinamento: Go back along the road for about 100 m and then turn right onto the footpath towards Peross. On steps go up the vineyard; then the path walks towards the stream incision. We open (and close) a door in the wire fence and about 30 m further on we turn right from the path onto a path that leads us into the streambed. If you have only 1 vehicle available, the access to the top starts directly at the parking lot (then 40 min.).
Giro: Sequence of easy rappels. Good to combine with the neighboring Cugnasco inferiore, Carcale or Tenero. Also feasible if other canyons have too much water flow.

Accesso: At the traffic circle at Locarno airport, where the 4-lane access road (coming from Bellinzona) to Locarno begins, head north towards the old Bellinzona-Locarno road. At the next traffic circle turn right onto this road and 850 m further on turn left to the school center in Riazzino. Turn right up the road in front of the school center and park the lower vehicle on the second parking level. Take a second vehicle back down, turn right at the school center and 330 m further on up the first road on the right. After two hairpin bends, you come to a crossroads which you follow to the right in the direction of Bugaro, Piandessio, Agarone. Before the bridge over the Pesta, we can park the second vehicle on the left.
Ritorno: After the last step, turn right out to the parking lot.

Accesso: Into the Maggia Valley until a car bridge between Ronchini and Maggia leads to the orographic right-hand side of the Maggia in the village of Moghegno. On this side of the Maggia, return via the "Ri di Dentro" to Aurigeno as far back as the bridge over the "Ri della Terra di Fuori". Park at this bridge and assess the water level.
Ritorno: From the bridge over the road back to the parking lot

Idrologia: The amount of water can be assessed at the bridge over the "Ri della Terra di Fuori".

Ri Di Canigg: Inizio del canyon
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot, cross the bridge over the "Ri della Terra di Fuori" to the orographic right side of the stream. Take the first hiking trail on the right towards "Ronco dell'Orto" or Chiazza. Pass the second bridge on the left (from the ascent point of view) and continue uphill. At the next junction, keep right towards "Chiazza" and cross the water again. In Chiazza, turn left/uphill. Now either take the large hairpin bend over "Valecc" or the hairpin bends directly to the small chapel on the ridge. From the small chapel, without gaining any height, follow the tracks of a path through the undergrowth to the stream.
Giro: At the beginning beautiful abseiling point(s) followed by a varied river walk with beautiful individual sections.
