Grabenbach / Jabron: Canyon Start
2025-11-16: cvydvydfvsdfvdxfv
2025-08-28: It would make sense to separate the upper and lower part of this canyon (superiore & inferiore, obere & untere etc.). The upper part isn't bad, but the two small rappels, of which one is nice, and a s...
2025-08-15: We did the tour in pairs. Some places have to be downclimbed. There are anchors at the higher points. Very beautiful and varied canyon. Total time under 4 hours
Approach: Vom Parkplatz folgt man der Forststraße hinunter--> vor der Brücke kann am Holzmessstationshäuschen der Wasserpegel ablesen werden--> nach der Brücke immer der steilen Forststraße entlang--> vorbei an der Baggerabsturz- Gedenktafel --> bis zur Lichtung (Ebene) --> hier noch vor dem Hochstand re. in den Bach einsteigen (rote kleine Eisenbrücke am Einstieg!). Einstieg auch unmittelbar über dem "Doppler" möglich. dd
Tour: Nach der Brücke kommt gleich die erste Rutsche, die man auch abklettern und springen kann --> nach kurzer Gehstrecke folgt ein ca. 12m Abseiler in den ‘Dome’ --> nach dem ‘Dome’ folgt eine längere Gehpassage --> im oberen Teil der Schlucht befindet sich der bekannte Dopplerfall (ca. 2x15m Abseiler mit tiefen Gumpen) der bei hohen Wasserstand sehr gefährlich werden kann --> am Dopplerfall sind jedoch genügend Bohrhaken vorhanden um ein Seilbahnsystem aufbauen zu können (für Sprungprofis wäre nach Kontrolle der Tiefe der zweiten 15m Abseiler auch springbar) --> nach dieser Stelle folgen in der Schluchtenmitte mehrere rutschige Geh/Kletterpassagen und kleinere Abseilstufen --> im Idealfall gibt es auch mehrere Sprungstellen ( meist sehr rutschig) --> der Mittel- und Schlussteil nehmen wegen der abwechslungsreichen Stellen am meisten Zeit, Kraft und Konzentration in Anspruch -->am Schluss der Schlucht bis zur Einmündung in den Rettenbach gehen --> hier aussteigen. Die Tour ist mittlerweile gut eingebohrt sodaß man an vielen Stellen mehrere Möglichkeiten vorfindet. ee

Approach: Directly at the parking lot you can descend orographic left in the forest and enter the gorge below the dam wall via an aluminum ladder.
Tour: The Almbach gorge is ideal for beginners, young people or larger groups --> the dam wall makes the gorge relatively safe even when there is a lot of water (rain) --> it carries water all year round, but in varying quantities, therefore: Be careful with high jumps --> There are many possible jumps --> Shorter swimming sections always bring refreshment --> In the middle part of the tour you pass a large rock (right), which resembles a face ("the Face" climbing up and jumping only for experienced climbers and after checking the water depth) followed by the "Jump Temple", various jumps with 5/8/10m (or slide and diving cave). After two slides (jumping points) you come to a narrow section that you swim through --> After a small jump into deep pools comes the last descent point (iron bars), then it goes about 100m over conglomerate rock to a larger water basin. At the exit of the water basin, a steep path leads up to the road on the left. Unfortunately, there have always been problems with the private owner in the past, so it is recommended to walk to the power station and get off on the left (transfer car or bicycle necessary as pedestrians are prohibited!). The commercial providers now turn around before the second slide and walk back down the entire canyon on the right side via the "jump temple" (rope-insured) and get out again at the entry. Therefore, expect oncoming traffic in the canyon.

Access: Coming from Hallein, take the Wiestal highway to the large dam parking lot on the left side (parking lot in front of the dam wall crossing).
Return: On the main road you get shortly back to the parking lot (Attention: only with a bike or shuttle car allowed!) --> Another option would be after the small slide, the way right up u. in the canyon back to go.

Altersbach: Canyon Start
2025-06-30: Stands all in order. Some slightly bent hooks but nothing serious. Now super grippy although every pool is completely blocked.
2025-06-27: Canyon has only been provisionally rehabilitated by me after extreme flooding. Partly only one bolt as a stand - not recommended for guiding or groups! The canyon is practically wood-free, very much g...
2025-04-27: Great canyon. Some of the stands/drill hooks are a little loose, but all in all it's still passable without any problems. There is a lot of wood in the water, especially in the lower section.
Comment: (cwiki_1)
Approach: approx. 50min From the parking lot, follow the hiking trail signposted Eisenau --> you will soon reach the final abseil (check water level) --> continue uphill and cross the stream after approx. 15min (exit/entry point) --> continue uphill here, past the water fountain and a wooden hut to reach the forest road with a fork --> follow the forest road to the right --> at the point where the forest road makes a slight left bend, leave it to the right and continue downhill along the inconspicuous forest path to the stream.
Tour: approx. 3h After a short stretch in the streambed comes a dilapidated wooden bridge --> then follows a short narrow section with small washouts --> after a short stretch with downclimb passages the canyon opens -->here you have a beautiful view of Lake Mondsee --> over well placed belays it goes over 3. downclimbs from 5m to 20m to the first large 50m waterfall -->to get to the exposed belay on the right should be built for safety's sake a removable rope traverse!> The 50m abseil is only up to the sharp edge in the water, after that you are in the overhang--> Alternatively you can abseil to the left outside the waterfall (intermediate level after approx.20m+30m) --> after the beautiful 50m-waterfall the next steps on the left can be bypassed --> after that there are short rappels which are mostly bypassed --> after further short mostly unproblematic rappels one crosses the hiking trail which one went up before (exit possibility) --> after the hiking trail there are five approx. 20m rappelling routes which follow each other shortly (downclimbing not advisable because mostly very slippery) --> to get to the exposed and mostly very slippery belaystation of the 50m final waterfall a removable rope traverse should be installed again --> the rappelling route looks from above mostly more spectacular than it is, because at the beginning of the rappelling routes you are again briefly in the water flow. (Alternatively, this abseil point can also be divided approx. 20m+30m).

Access: approx. 15min From Mondsee take the main road (Romantikstraße) in the direction of St. Gilgen. After the village of Scharfling, turn left towards Unterach. After the tunnel, there is limited parking on the right next to the road or gravel parking in the forest.
Return: approx. 10min At the bottom follow the trail on the left back to the parking lot.

2022-07-21: Heavily commercial canyons, but the beaches are absolutely top. All easily accessible and in very good condition.
Approach: From here on the tarred road down to the bridge (entry). From the bridge rappel (approx. 15m, rope protectors recommended) or descend via the narrow path into the streambed.
Tour: After the rappel from the bridge, the route goes over rough terrain to the first 3m rappel point (steel rope for self-belay) --> The route continues over very slippery areas past a large waterfall, which flows in from the left --> The next rappel point leads approx. 4m into a pool and further down to a shallow slope with approx. 8m --> A 7m high rappel follows and a narrow rock band (steel rope for self-securing) to the highest rappel point (12m with overhang) which ends in a large pool-->thereafter come 2 jumps about 3m in white water (rappel possible), a 7m high water slide (rappel possible) --> After a short walking passages comes the last rappel point (about 6m), then you continue to the sign and leave the stream on the left side.

Approach: At the distinctive orange survey point and a park bench, a path leads downhill to a wooden bridge. Here is the entry to the middle Auerklamm gorge (rappel) which is not marked on the topographic view. The entry to the lower Auerklamm can be reached via a path that branches off to the left of the small chapel, right by the wooden bridge. The path descends steeply for about 10 minutes until you reach the entry point. If you want to climb all the way through the canyon, there is another entry point above Taxegg (see upper Auerklamm/Nederbach II). At the end of the village you come to a bridge and then follow the course of the stream on the right-hand side until you reach a small dam. Alternatively, park at a large gravel parking place to the right of Ötztaler Straße and walk for about 35 minutes along a steep hiking trail to the bridge.
Tour: Rappel over dry approx.30m high rappel (sharp edge!) or bridge --> there follows a 10m rappel in pools --> over a fixed rope in the water it continues to the 15m slide below the Wolfsbrücke --> from the narrow pool with short fixed ropes rappel 5m into a winding place + 4m slide in pools --> After the pool there is li. an emergency exit (possibility to bypass the 40m waterfall) --> For bypassing go over the Wolfsbrücke and follow the hiking trail or. r. downhill past a lookout point --> right after that you can descend left. via via ferrata back into the stream --> If the emergency exit is not needed, continue with a 3-person slide combination (7m, 3m and 8m) --> After that comes the highest approx. 40m rappel point in the waterway! (Ropeway system possible, drill hooks on the large rock below left) --> after the high step over rock slabs downclimb and continue over the 6m rock slide (rappel possible) --> downclimb (6m) --> small step with fixed ropes --> another downclimb outside the waterway about 10m --> after the barbecue area comes a 7-8m slide which is partly overhanging (rappel possible) --> at the next downclimb you can rappel 5m and then jump 3-4m. --> after that you come to the chain anchor --> rappel over fixed ropes into a rock grotto --> a 6m jump into the whirlpool follows and a 10m sloping rock step where you rappel over the fixed rope into the "dome" --> after that you cross a narrow passage with the help of a steel rope --> a 10m jump into deep pools follows and a 5m jump --> two smaller rappel points lead to the last sloping ca.30m waterfall --> after the waterfall the tour ends in front of the beautiful wooden bridge.

Access: From the Inntal freeway, drive into the Ötztal valley --> shortly after the Ambach inn, a road leads to the left towards the plain --> here, at the wooden bridge (exit), a shadow car can be parked and the water level (! Water drainage) be checked --> then you drive back on the main road to the village of Ötz--> from Ötz you then drive on the mountain road (Küthaistraße) to Ötzerau and a little further until shortly before Wies --> here still park before the sharp right bend in the bulge (space for about 5 cars). The parking lot is very heavily used by the outdoor clubs. Alternatively, you can park a little further up after the houses of Wies at the bridge on the left.
Return: Exit on the right in front of the wooden bridge --> After the tour take a shuttle car (cab) up to the parking entry or alternatively: walk from the wooden bridge first on the right side of the road to the marked hiking trail and then follow the steep hiking trail up to the Wolf Bridge and parking entry (approx. 30 min)

Rötenbach (unterer): Canyon Start
2025-08-15: Had to look for some hooks. Comparison picture of the water level at the exit.
2024-08-11: Tedious, steep access - canyon but worthwhile. A lot of pushing, be careful when pulling off the ropes!
Approach: (1h on foot) From the parking lot at the hunting lodge (Schwandhütte) a path goes right into the forest. After a short time you will come across a hunter's stand that stands in front of a steep rock face. Here you can see the upper part of the canyon. From the hunter's stand, an unmarked path goes down the steep ridge of the forest on the right. At a suitable point below the rock wall, a traverese rope becomes visible, over which one reaches the boulder field and the stream (entry) at 900Hm (possibly rappel over boulder field).
Tour: The lower part of the Rötenbach is a beautiful aquatic rappel canyon in limestone. Before the tour, however, the water level at the exit (red rock) should be checked, because some places can be very dangerous at high water levels. After a short stretch in rock-strewn streambed and small downclimb comes the 1st rappel point. Due to the large mountain basin, considerable amounts of melt and rain water often come down the mountain, therefore the belaying points / pitons have been placed very exposed (some boron hooks for rope traverses are available). With a deep view down into the valley, from the 1st step onwards the route descends continuously over several aquatic rappels into the canyon, which becomes increasingly incised. After some heavy showers and nice washouts, the canyon becomes more open. From here, some steps, some of them slippery, must be skillfully downclimbed before reaching the exit at about 720Hm.

Access: From Lienz drive in the direction of Silian (on the B100). At road kilometer 113 you turn left and drive over a bridge. After the bridge turn left and after a few meters you will find a parking lot on the right (here you can either park a shuttle car or walk up). From the barrier at the parking lot, follow the asphalt mountain road for about 1.5 km (road closed from 01.11-30.04). Then turn right on the forest road until you reach a haipin bend with a hunting lodge. Here you park the second car.
Return: Once in the shallow streambed, follow the streambed (right) to the asphalt road and back to the parking lot.

Bruckgraben: Canyon Start
2025-07-20: 1 stand newly drilled. Former last belay no longer exists. Can now be easily downclimbed via several small steps
2025-05-15: Less sun and water than expected. Quite a lot of gravel, but it was well distributed - on the walking passages and not in the basins. The former first rappel through the hole between the clamping bloc...
2025-05-10: Still good water from the mountain. There are a few new anchors compared to last year; so you can rappel more often "in the water" and don't have to go around the outside.
Comment: (descente_1)
Approach: From the parking lot you go over the bridge to the train station Johnsbach --> here follow the valley hiking trail "Rauchboden" on the right (not the path directly behind the train station!) -->there are two shortcuts through the forest on this hiking trail, after the second one you have to leave the Rauchboden path on the left and follow the abandoned forest road up through the forest (sign "cycling prohibited", do not continue on the circular hiking trail!) --> after a few meters there is a steep gravel field that you go up to the forest road (lookout with bench) --> then continue to follow the marked hiking trail to the Buchsteinhaus to the "Brucksattel", about 50m after the resting bench is a cairn on the left (just before the next forest road crossing), here follow the footprints which lead downhill into the Bruckgraben (tw. cairns and yellow markings).
Tour: The Bruckgraben is due to its arduous access and descent to the conditional and time-consuming tours in eastern Austria--> arrived in the stream, it first goes over small climbing and walking passages (beautiful washouts) --> the upper part of the canyon is still very open to the lower part--> over some smaller abseils and longer walking passages you get to the canyon center (last possible escape right, steep chute up to back - here leads a path to the tracks) --> from here it is really tight. (high water level / thunderstorms mean here absolute danger to life!) --> in the impressive and beautiful cut lower part of the canyon you can see over the head old wooden beams (Triftanlage), which still come from the "wooden age" --> Most abseiling points are not high but in the water course and can therefore be somewhat challenging for one or the other --> The final part leads over several rocks and an aluminum ladder to the exit at the railroad bridge (!bird breeding place therefore follow signs).

Dießbachschlucht: Canyon Start
2026-01-31: gczjftzjtzjtzj
Approach: From the parking lot in a northerly direction along the cycle path --> past the bee houses and a bridge (Dießbach) at 660Hm --> after the bridge the hiking trail 32 starts in the direction of Kalbrunnalm, Ingolstätterhaus (Dießbachsteig) --> from here steeply uphill --> after a few meters in altitude there is a large rock face --> follow the path further to the right. Kalbrunnalm, Ingolstätterhaus (Dießbachsteig) --> from here steeply uphill --> after a few meters there is a large rock face --> follow the path further right and overcome the next steep steps coming after an iron ladder --> after the steepest part it only goes uphill for a short time until you stand in front of a field with large boulders (approx. 1230m) --> leave the path to the right here and cross the sparse forest interspersed with rocks slightly downhill --> you will soon be standing in front of a steep embankment --> keep to the left here and follow the very poorly visible path to a suitable descent point to the stream --> once you have found the tree stump with a rusty saw blade, you have almost reached the entry point --> this is just a little above the saw blade where it is also much easier to get into the stream --> entry point at approx. 1100m
Tour: The canyon is very secluded, has many, very slippery passages and over 20 rappel points (therefore not suitable for beginners) --> experienced canyoneers could, however, find a nice all-day tour after rainy days and some sunshine --> there are several clamps throughout the canyon from which you often rappel in the overhang --> the rope should not be pulled off prematurely, as you will not always find a place to stand on arrival --> most abseiling points are no higher than 20m --> from midday the sun shines best in the south-west facing canyon --> the canyon is not a highlight but is definitely worthwhile --> only the last high waterfall (50m) was not considered very worthwhile during our ascent (can also be bypassed/descended on the left if necessary). can be bypassed/descended if necessary)

Dießbachschlucht: Canyon End

Approach: From the parking lot in a northerly direction along the cycle path --> past the bee houses and a bridge (Dießbach) at 660Hm --> after the bridge the hiking trail 32 starts in the direction of Kalbrunnalm, Ingolstätterhaus (Dießbachsteig) --> from here steeply uphill --> after a few meters in altitude there is a large rock face --> follow the path further to the right. Kalbrunnalm, Ingolstätterhaus (Dießbachsteig) --> from here steeply uphill --> after a few meters there is a large rock face --> follow the path further right and overcome the next steep steps coming after an iron ladder --> after the steepest part it only goes uphill for a short time until you stand in front of a field with large boulders (approx. 1230m) --> leave the path to the right here and cross the sparse forest interspersed with rocks slightly downhill --> you will soon be standing in front of a steep embankment --> keep to the left here and follow the very poorly visible path to a suitable descent point to the stream --> once you have found the tree stump with a rusty saw blade, you have almost reached the entry point --> this is just a little above the saw blade where it is also much easier to get into the stream --> entry point at approx. 1100m

Approach: From the parking lot to the left along the hunter's path next to the stream -- initially still flat and clear, the path in the forest becomes steeper and more difficult --> after about 40min. (200Hm) comes a forest road (long material cable car) --> Either follow the forest road to the creek and go only the (more interesting) lower part or follow left the narrow path further through the forest to get to the upper entry --> for the upper entry (at about 1040m) leave the path at a suitable place on the right and descend into the creek.
Tour: Arrived in the Bärnbach follow after a short walking and climbing passage the first rappel points --> the highest and at the same time most beautiful rappel points in the canyon occur at the beginning and in the lower part of the canyon --> the entire canyon is very slippery and the rappel are mostly in the Wassserführung --> several entangled trees have to be downclimbed -.-> at the belaystation there is mostly only one bolthook with a short chain (in good condition during our ascent) --> on the so called "dragon's mouth" (dark cascade) is in the cut lower canyon section --> in the middle of the abseil there is a deep hollow which can be bypassed with some skill --> in the canyon there are many abseils, In the canyon there are many abseils, several narrow passages and with the right light a beautiful play of colors due to the contrasting surroundings --> towards the exit the canyon opens up and you hike along the streambed to the dam wall.

Approach: Pass the bridge on the right (hiking trail) --> you will pass a water level measuring station (inlet in the lower part of the canyon) --> continue up the trail until you reach the forest road --> then follow the forest road up to 980Hm (bridge over stream) --> from the forest road you have several opportunities to look into the canyon.
Tour: After a short walking passages and small slides follow several small steps which can be partly rappelled outside of the water flow --> arrived at the weir you have an approx. 10m rappel point in a deep pool --> after the weir there are a few small mostly unproblematic rappel steps (slides) --> the canyon, which is suitable for beginners, is very open and at higher water levels still well doable --> in addition there is the possibility to get off almost in the entire canyon course on the forest road.

Approach: From the Bärenwirt follow the forest road over the bridge in the direction of Jochalmen --> after approx. 15 min. you will come to a small border hut --> at the fork in the road turn left in the direction of the waterfall --> after a short while you will cross a stream --> then continue to follow hiking trail 451 up through the forest (also possible via forest road) --> after approx. 10/15 min. you meet the forest road again --> here you take a shortcut over a steep forest road until you are back on the forest road again --> you follow this until the end --> at the point where the forest road ends, it is best to put on the neoprene and harness --> the entry is in the course of the forest road a little further above and is reached via a well-trodden small path next to the canyon (entry via fixed ropes and abseil point on the tree)
Tour: The entry into the stream leads over a sling around the tree where you dry rappel about 25m --> arrived in the stream follow three short slides which can also be jumped depending on the water level --> after that you would have a last steep exit possibility on the right before it then goes over an approx. 25m high dry rappel point (with rope traverse) next to the so-called cannon tube in a cavity down --> from the cavity it goes immediately approx.7m incl. shower over the next mostly very slippery step --> for safety a rope traverse leads to the next chain anchor at the highest dry 30m rappel point in the canyon --> after a few steps there is a narrow point which can be easily passed by a fixed rope traverse --> the next approx. 20m rappel point runs directly in the water and has a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a small overhang with a sharp edge. Overhang with sharp edge --> a shallow pool follows (often felt with gravel)--> a short walking passages and small slide follows before one stands at the last cascade--> if the water level allows it, is rappelled here left approx. 15m into a beautiful cavity, followed by an approx. 10m step into the last pool--> alternatively, this cascade can be dry r. approx.30m rappel--> then follow the shallow streambed mostly on the left side for about 15min. until you see a small wooden hut next to the streambed--> here rappel left out of the stream.

2025-06-22: Have replaced a few hooks. Last step is drilled in again. Mfg
Approach: From the parking lot in front of the barrier of the shooting range (attention to red flag) it goes on the forest road to the small power plant cottage (700Hm) --> there you can already see the last cascade or the water level via a path that goes up on the left --> after the check back to the forest road --> follow this further to the only fork in the road Ri. Lavanter Alm --> after a short time and some Hm. can be descended at 940Hm simply in the stream (open terrain with views of the mountains).
Tour: Entry at 940Hm --> from here it goes over a kl. Downclimb to the first step with cold shower:-) most of the (at the beginning still short) rappel points are in the watercourse --> the belays (mostly chain anchors) are however well and thoughtfully placed --> it goes very continuously over many rappels through the canyon --> in the lower part of the canyon come the higher rappel points --> the Frauenbach can change very quickly due to the partly very high water flow and debris, therefore the pools should be checked before a possible jump or slide --> in the upper third come several inlets into the canyon, (Tip: at the information board at the parking lot you can see the normal water level!) --> should the amount of water by the tributaries be too large for the walk, there are some emergency exits on the left side --> by the long stay in the cold water, the canyon should not be underestimated even on hot summer days. The last cascade C10-C30-C25 is very beautiful but can be very dangerous at high water (dry 40m rappel right possible)

Approach: From the inn Heutal follow the path behind the house to the small stream --> after the small bridge follow the path for about 200m --> after a wooden fence passage you can already see the first waterfall (entry).
Tour: The tour is except two high waterfalls rather easy --> not to be underestimated are the slippery places --> at an old hermitage is the first waterfall about 25m high (use tree right as a fixed point) --> it follows a varied streambed with several small rappel points and small jumps --> in the middle part comes a beautiful rock breakthrough through which you can rappel --> kl. Curved chute --> you can also see a beautiful tributary on the right (Staubfall: see description Staubfall) from which the water falls over the hiking trail into the canyon --> be careful in snowy winters the avalanche cone in the lower part of the canyon can remain for a long time --> there you also meet the second high ca.30m waterfall (good place to stand) --> after the second waterfall you no longer need ropes --> the easier exit would be down the right at the wooden bridge that leads over the stream, but this is on the German side where canyoning is prohibited.

Jaglingbach: Canyon Start
Approach: After the houses turn left and follow the path orthogr. right uphill. After a few bends - in a sharp left bend (from the right comes the later exit path up). After the sharp left turn, a path branches off immediately to the right, steeply uphill. Follow this rather arduous (2022 complicated speziel further up much fallen trees the access). Follow the path for about 15 minutes until it flattens out and you reach the stream (about 35 minutes). Old description / whole tour: Follow the forest road past the barrier briefly -->you go over the small bridge that leads over the Jaglingbach (water level control) --> at the sign ('Gamskogel and Mitteralm') follow the marked path past the small alp --> after the last wooden house right steeply up through the forest --> this path is the shortcut to the forest road which you cross several times --> after about 1h you are at approx.1200m at the fork in the forest road --> follow the forest road on the left downhill to the stream with a small crossing (flow-through pipe) --> entry at approx.1140m.

Kammersbach: Canyon Start
Approach: (with the bike big time saving!). After the barrier, follow the flat fort road (hiking trail marking). After some time the forest road passes a large hut and crosses a stream before it rises and leads to the dam of the Kammersbach. You cross the bridge and after a hairpin bend you come to a signpost (junction) where you turn right. Above the hunting lodge you go to the exit of the road. Here you will find a path that is difficult to see at the beginning, which leads up to the left to the Karlschlag area. The path leads above the stream over several small tributaries to the 2nd hunter's stand at about 1070Hm. After the hunter's stand one descends immediately right in the tributary, which leads one to the 1st approx. 40m rappel (tree loop right) at approx. 1030Hm. (But there are alternatives)
Tour: To get into the canyon you rappel 40m from the tree. Arrived in the streambed follows a walking passage with small steps and pools that can be downclimbed or slid. After about 150m comes the 2nd rappelling point which runs directly in the water over a wooden crate. There are again walking and downclimb passages that lead to a large rock. Here is downclimbed to the right and shortly you are at the 3rd rappel (10m). Further follows an entertaining walking and descending section, where, except for a 5m step, the rope can be dispensed with. Before the 5m step, the canyon narrows, followed by many small water basins that are carefully climbed through. A prominent narrow chute marks the exit of the cut part. This section is rappelled downclimbed or with the ropes over an hourglass (left). A short walking section leads to the bridge/dam, where you exit the canyon on the left (approx. 850Hm). If you still feel like going further, you can rappel from the tree about 30m into the lower part of the canyon after the dam. For the further course usually no more ropes are needed. After about 40min. downclimbing and walking, you have an exit on the left via a tributary or you can choose the easier exit at the next bridge.

2025-05-28: As far as possible, there are at least a few individual hooks everywhere. Emergency exits possible on both bridges, very easy on the second, more difficult on the first. Very choked up to the second b...
Approach: First option: Take the inclined cable car up (€12,-Stand2024) and follow the short brine pipeline path to the stream/bridge. Second option: save yourself the money and walk up the clearly visible hiking trail next to the canyon --> from this path you have several opportunities to look into the canyon --> after a few serpentines you pass the Franz Josef Stollen --> from here it is not far to the mountain station --> then follow the brine pipeline path down the iron stairs to the stream (bridge) --> entry at approx. 760Hm.
Tour: On the bridge that leads over the Mühlbach, rappel over the railing for about 20m to the next belay on the right side --> at the beginning there are many trees in the canyon --> at the first single bolt on the right, it goes about 20m to the second belay on the left (chain anchor), from which ideally about 30m is rappelled over a cascade (better to divide if there is a large blockage). 30m over a cascade (better to subdivide if there is a lot of blockage) --> a short slippery climbing passage and small slides follow --> chain anchor right, 25m over a cascade --> short climbing passage (3m) to the single bolt left, here over a small step approx. 15m rappel --> the next rusty belaystation is right --> 15m rappel through a small chute (with overhang) --> 30m rappel (right) over a cascade (in shallow pools) --> short walking and slippery climbing passage to the high belaystation left --> 30m rappel --> now you are in front of a green iron bridge --> single bolt right -.-> 5m rappel --> left 3m downclimb or right 5m rappel (over small trees) --> 15m rappel over single glued anchors left --> 10m rappel right --> short climbing passage right before the next bridge --> under the bridge left 15m rappel from the bolt (beautiful view) --> then 25m cascade (old chain anchor and glued anchors!).) Attention! In the middle of the rappel passage a small pool --> highest rappel (right or left) approx. 35m --> via a traverese rope (left) you reach the belay, approx. 20m rappel (arrival under the bridge --> at the exit of the bridge wall there is a glued anchor for the last 15m steps.

Approach: From the parking lot follow the gravel path past the houses to the Rositten bridge (= exit at 460m) --> here follow the steep hiking trail 460 towards Zeppezauerhaus --> before the 3rd concrete obstruction visible on the hiking trail (approx. 30min walking time) follow the small steep path right down to the stream at approx. 670m. (Most canyoneers, however, usually enter the stream after approx. 15 minutes of access in order to make only the more beautiful lower part of the canyon).
Tour: The canyon is rather open and unspectacular in the upper part ->several small drop-offs follow one another. Several small rappels, walking and climbing passages follow each other until the canyon narrows -> from here it becomes more interesting -> in the lower narrow section of the canyon there are beautiful washed-out corridors and pools with small steps that have to be rappelled or downclimbed -> unfortunately, tree trunks, some of which form large lice infestations, are always a nuisance here -> most of the anchors are well attached and have often been renewed due to several floods -> if there is a risk of thunderstorms, the canyon should definitely be avoided --> the best time to walk is between 10 a.m. and 12 noon.

Rothmannbach (unten): Canyon Start
2025-06-30: At times a very beautiful and rewarding canyon, but running section in the streambed at the beginning and exit. Top anchor. 3mm neo is a bit thin here
2024-06-24: Few slippery spots, clean water, many fixed ropes not always advantageous, anchoring in order
Approach: From the parking lot, continue on foot along the main road towards Markschellenberg (do not take the hiking trail up to the Toni Lenz Hut) --> after a few meters, cross the road bridge (Rothmannbach) --> here, on a slope, there are a few houses with an access road --> follow the road up briefly to a steep meadow (shortcut) --> above this meadow, you will meet a mountain road (goes up from Marktschellenberg) --> follow the road to the right until you reach the last house (here, you could possibly from the last house it goes on the forest road (gravel) for about 10min slightly uphill to a fork --> here right slightly downhill to the stream (small stone bridge) --> entry at about 580Hm.
Tour: The Rothmannbach is suitable for beginners or as a short pre- or afternoon tour. afternoon tour --> the water is clean and cold --> in the canyon you meet the Untersberg marble (red limestone) which is often found in the area --> at the beginning there are short walking and climbing passages (in some places a short rope can often be helpful) --> after several small pools, climbing and walking passages there is a larger blockage with an inflow from the left --> at this point downclimb to the right --> after approx. 50m there are several big rocks --> here you have an emergency exit (right over steep slope) --> the next spot can be slid or bypassed --> a narrow spot with a shallow cascade follows --> at the end of the cascade there is a big clamping block + fixed rope right --> jumping from the clamping block is possible after checking the water depth --> after that there is a rope traverse + 8m abseil into pools (possibly (possible jump) --> walking and rappelling --> left approx. 10m rappel into grotto (alternative rappel point left above approx.20m outside the watercourse) + 1m jump in pool under a big clamping block --> walk/swim in narrow passage up to a fixed rope +small jump right --> continue approx. 500m in open streambed up to a wooden bridge at approx. 470Hm.

2025-06-08: Cool canyon, and after overnight rainfall it's at 5 * Parking right near the bridge, at the canyon itself.
2024-05-25: Everything ok
Approach: From the parking lot take the path on the right next to the brook up to the brine path (large power pole) --> cross the brook on the left and immediately after the bridge follow the steep path uphill on the right at the monument --> after approx. 20min. on the steep path you reach a power plant house (pipeline) --> here do not continue uphill, but without a large difference in altitude on the right. follow the tracks in the direction of the canyons --> after a short steep traverse incl. gravel gully you reach an old rusty steel rope (Attention!!!!! fragile terrain, difficult access) --> follow the rusty steel rope to the entry in the canyon (Tip: with canyoning beginners you also have the possibility to rappel from a tree with a sling on the right about 40m into the canyon --> see topographic view).
Tour: The canyon is very open with very good and clear abseils and shallow pools --> good practice tour to prepare for higher abseils --> mostly little water (in summer partly dry therefore better after rainfall). After the descent over the boulder field (upper entry) the first two rappels follow immediately --> left C8 and right C40 --> here you already have a nice view of the Hallstätter See -->continuous rappels follow --> right. C25, left C4, right C20 (narrow passage), left C7 (also bypassable), C5, C20, right C15, followed by the highest rappel on the right C45 (also divisible C25 + C20) to reach the exposed chain anchor on the right you rappel from the left about 10m. --> The last narrow abseil stage C10 follows in pools with old dilapidated water drainage.

Steinerne Rinne: Canyon Start
Approach: From the upper parking lot at the barrier, follow the hiking trail/forest road (signposted "Römerweg"). Stay on the wide forest road that leads across the Valentinbach (Mauthnerklamm). Now continue on the orographic right side. After a while you leave the forest road briefly to shorten it to the left via the steeper forest road (raised stand). A little further up, the path meets the forest road again. Now follow the road slightly downhill over three inlets to the fourth inlet with a barrier. Here is the entry at about 920m (first rappel from the barrier on the left).
Tour: The Steinerne Rinne is a short vertical canyon that flows into the Valentinsbach (Mauthnerklamm), which must also be climbed. Unfortunately, most of the pools were gravelled or clogged during our walk. Nevertheless, we found the canyon worthwhile as it has some beautiful spots towards the bottom. The canyon is very continuous. You start with smaller steps/rappel, which get higher and higher towards the bottom. The highlight is the last cascade, a rappel of about 40m that can be divided (about 15 and 25m) + a rappel of about 25m that leads into the Mauthnerklamm/Valentinsbach. At this point you can see a large hole in the rock and beautiful washouts.

Steinerne Rinne: Alternative Canyon End
Return: After the confluence with the Valentinsbach (Mauthnerklamm), follow the stream downstream through the deep and impressive Mautherklamm gorge to the parking exit (at the rock gate). Depending on your mood, you walk in the streambed or on the Roman path (several suspension bridges and rock breakthroughs) at the end.

Comment: navette facultatif (descente)
Access: From the village of Kötschach-Mauthen, first drive to the rock gate at the Mauthnerklamm (near Waldbad Mauthen). Here you have a large gravel parking place for the shuttle car directly next to the stream (exit/water level control). With the second car you drive back to the houses and continue on the B 110 in the direction of Plöckenpaß. After some serpentines/heights you pass the Ederwirt. Follow the road downhill. Approx. 500m after the bridge with stone sculpture ("duck"?) comes to the left a large gravel turnout with barriers and no-driving sign (hiking sign). Park here for the entry/access. (If you only have 1 car, you can also access from below via the Römerweg --> approx. 1h).

Approach: From the parking lot, cross the dam wall to the ortographic left. Here you follow the forest road on the right for a short distance until a small path branches off on the right. The path then leads to a steep secured place with old iron ladder --> here is the entry (loose rock in the ladder area!!!). Alternative access: do not go over the dam wall but follow a small steep path right next to the dam wall down. Then cross the dam outlet and you are in the stream.
Tour: The Strubklamm is a canyoning tour for people who like jumping and being in the water. Prerequisites for the long aquatic tour are a good physical condition and appropriate equipment--> it is one of the most beautiful hiking, jumping and swim canyons in Salzburgerland with countless jumps in partly deep pools. In the higher parts it is also possible to rappel. In the middle section there is an emergency exit on the right (secured with traverese ropes) that leads up a steep slope to the road (about 50m before the rock tunnel). Towards the exit (before the canyon opens) there is a nice waterfall from the left side of the canyon, where some canyoneers have a massage--> rappel is not necessary for experienced jumpers, but a rope (20m) should always be carried.

Approach: Variant 1: Directly opposite the yellow hiking sign, descend into the "Taugelstrubklamm" to the gorge (tree loop or anchor in front of the waterfall) Variant 2: At the curling rink, enter directly into the Gmainbach (! For this variant, 2x50m of ropes are necessary for the last approx.40m waterfall that flows into the Taugl).
Tour: Variant 1 is a short path from Tauglboden to the worthwhile gorge Engklamm. Here you can either rappel outside the water over a tree loop next to the narrows ca.20m or in the water from the anchor directly at the waterfall --> then no more rope is needed--> it follows a very nice short cut gorge section with smoothly polished limestone (partly pink / reddish color) and small jump / slides partly with fixed ropes . Shortly after the narrow section, the canyon opens. Here you have a left exit possibility to get back to the parking lot in a few minutes. Attention: After the next step it is no longer easy to turn back or exit. A long (approx. 4h) river walk follows to the Römerbrücke bridge, where after the water level measuring point there is another waterfall (can be bypassed) before you get out of the river on the left below the Römerbrücke bridge. Variant 2 has several small rappel (5-10m) interrupted by walking passages in the bedrock until you finally meet the 40m high Gmainbach waterfall which flows into the Taugl (no pitons! only tree slings) -->thereafter follows a long (ca.4h) river walk to the Römerbrücke.

Tour: The canyon offers a very varied program of rappels from start to finish --> belays are in good condition --> many short rappels in the water --> mostly slippery even at the belay --> little sunlight --> problematic at the narrow points when there is a lot of water (check the water level at the exit on the high wooden bridge) --> the highest rappel point comes almost at the end and is usually outside the water flow (!! Sharp edge) --> to master short rappels more effectively, you should not do without an additional rope.!!! sharp edges) --> in order to master the short rappels more effectively, an additional shorter rope should not be dispensed with.

2025-08-22: Current fun water level. The dead animal is still in the water (very bloated).
Approach: From the parking lot Dangri you go over the 2 stone bridges --> then you take the path on the right, which shortly thereafter divides --> here go up on the left to the abandoned village of Provego (940Hm) --> after the village you go over a bridge and continue up to the next houses of Pianezzola --> here follow the path above the houses to the right --> once you have left the houses behind you comes a large overgrown slope that at least offers a beautiful view of Lake Como -->at approx. 1030Hm the path clears --> follow the stone steps slightly downhill --> the path leads parallel to the canyon (entry/exit possibility) with small slopes up to the ruined mountain houses --> if you want to save the upper part (approx. 100Hm), you have a good possibility to descend over the meadow into the canyon at the big beech on the right side of the path (approx. 1200Hm) --> the actual entry is at 1300Hm after the houses.
Tour: The Bares is certainly one of the most beautiful and longest canyons on Lake Como --> due to the cut-off and the technically demanding sections as well as the cold water, only experienced canyoneers should enter this canyon --> the canyon has many short, demanding abseiling sections, whereby the pools are usually not visible --> jumps should also be enjoyed with caution --> without long walking passages, there is a constant change of narrow sections, clamping blocks and pools which can also be very turbulent --> in the middle of the canyon (approx. 900 m altitude difference) you will find an open section with a large rock slab on the right-hand side --> here there is a steep emergency exit (entrance).meters) you will find an open spot with a large rock slab on the right side, here there is a steep emergency exit (entry)--> if the water level in the upper part was already borderline, you should get out here, as the water level in the lower part is still rising due to several tributaries --> the 2nd half offers a unique gorge landscape with a large rock slab on the right side. The second half offers a unique gorge landscape with continuous successive rappels --> full concentration is required until the last rappel before you get out at the water drainage --> an additional mental burden to the seclusion is the permanent noise level that you leave behind you after the tour. On the whole, however, a perfect canyon.

Boazzo (intermedio und inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: (on foot 1h15min) Variant 1Car ->From the lower parking lot, follow the gravel road (high-voltage power lines) on foot, descending slightly to the exit. An inconspicuous path is left before the maintenance tunnel, past a small ruin. After a few meters you reach the SP63. In the following serpentine bend, the hiking trail continues right up into the forest. After a few more m. You reach the mountain road again. Here you stay on the road until shortly before the turn-off (via ferrata sign "Via Ferrata Simone Contessi"). You have 2 options for descending into the canyon. 1st possibility (upper entry): At the turnout, a narrow gravel road branches off to the right (no driving signs). Follow this slightly downhill to the stream. 2nd option: Recommendation!(middle entry): 50m before the turnout there is a tree with a wooden sign "Cascata di Chiaccio, Val Boazzo-P Erna Posteggio". Follow the steep, inconspicuous path for about 15 minutes down to the stream (at about 790m). The last short lower section begins at approx. 560m after the weir (under the road bridge)
Tour: The T. Boazzo is an interesting canyon with many short abseils in the water. If there is too much water in the canyon, some places can become very dangerous. The siphon in the middle of the tour is particularly dangerous (but can be rappelled right behind the danger point/siphon using a rope traverse). Several steps can usually also be downclimbed or jumped. Once you reach the dam wall with water drainage, you can get out comfortably via a path at approx. 560m on the right or continue along the lower part of the gorge, which carries less water. At the water drainage, you will find an iron pin with a welded-on chain link that you can use to set up the rope for the slippery abseiling point. At the next step there are only 2 old bolts. However, the other short abseils are well equipped. Even though the lower section has little water, it is still worthwhile. After the last cave-like narrow section there is a water pipe, at this point you climb out of the stream about 500m left.

Boazzo (intermedio und inferiore): Canyon End
Return: Follow the hiking trail ortographic left next to the stream. At the small power station house, cross the stream over a small bridge. After the bridge, follow the gravel road to the right. At the exit of the small power station, follow the hiking trail up towards "Passo del Lupo/Bellabio/Versacio". Keep left at the junction (the path on the right leads to the dam wall or the Boazzo intermedio exit) and continue uphill until you reach the gravel road again. Follow the gravel road left back to the parking lot.

Boazzo (intermedio und inferiore): Parking at Entry
Access: From Lecco, take the SS36 up towards Valsassina. After the tunnel there is a traffic circle at Ballabio, where you take the SP62 towards Morterone. At the exit of the village, turn left towards Morterone (SP63). The road here leads briefly downhill to the industrial area. Before the "Grigna Color" company, turn right and cross the small bridge. Approx. 50m after the bridge there is a gravel road on the right (large stones). Follow this gravel road until you reach a no-entry sign. Park the shuttle car here (45.883311, 9.427962). With the 2nd car, continue on the asphalted mountain road towards Morterone. After 8 hairpin bends there is a small tunnel, followed by 6 more hairpin bends. Then look out for a small detour on the left (via ferrata "Via Ferrata Simone Contessi"). There is only limited parking on the opposite side of the road (45.879869, 9.441534). A little tip: If you only have 1 car, drive your equipment up first, hide it near the turnout and then walk up from the lower parking lot via the path/hiking trail ortographic left next to the canyon.
Return: Follow the hiking trail ortographic left next to the stream. At the small power station house, cross the stream over a small bridge. After the bridge, follow the gravel road to the right.

Bodengo I (Boggia I): Canyon Start
2024-09-15: Mega cool canyon! Very cold water in the off-season. Only did the upper part. Planned part 2 but not done due to cold.
2024-09-15: Super nice section at normal flows. When we tried to descend earlier this year (after the massive rain) it was certainly a lot more water. Not a bad idea to have a rope to help people out of the eddy/...
2024-08-27: We completed all three sections of Bodengo in one go. The low water level made the entire descent quite easy. It took us 8 hours from start to bottem with a team of 5 people. The anchor points were...
Approach: Stop or always along the mountain road, through the village of Pra Prince (920Hm)--> now it goes up for another 1 hour to a small chapel standing on the right side and left. a parking lot --> here you can easily get into the upper part (about 950Hm).
Tour: From the parking lot to the already visible stream descend -->at the beginning small climbing passages, jumps and slides in emerald green water --> below the small bridge T6 in pools --> short R5 (li.) in small pools --> large pool with traverese rope (re.), fixed rope (r.) and ropeway (here you can jump from the right side (S6) or slide down via ropeway into the big pool...!!! pay attention to rope tension) --> walking and climbing passage ca. 50m --> le. bolthook with chain link R5 (le.) or E5 --> short swimming passage --< walking and climbing passage ca. 50m --> R6 (left), access via railing rope (T6) --> walking and climbing passage ca. 100m --> after the short walking passages on the left there is a striking boulder bent inwards which you go behind and on the left you take the way to the road (exit). (the exit is chosen to shorten an uninteresting stretch on the road) --> the entry to the 2nd part is after the small mountain village on the right over the road bridge of Bedolina (signposted parking Bedolina).

Approach: From the parking lot you go flat in the direction of the church --> then further to the right --> through the village --> past the fountain and the last houses, the path leads downhill --> at the fork in the road you keep to the left and reach the stream shortly --> entry at about 800Hm.
Tour: The entire canyon is very demanding and varied --> it should therefore necessarily also check the water level for the upper part --> has reached the stream at about 860Hm follows an approx. 200m long walking passages with some steps (these can be downclimbed) --> only now you meet the first rappelling point --> without walking and with a wonderful view into the valley, several rappelling points in the water follow --> after the spectacular cascade there is a longer walking and downclimbing section --> the high rock passage can be skillfully downclimbed --> in the middle of the canyon there is a dam wall/water drainage --> here you would have at approx. 640Hm you have an exit or entry possibility --> follow the mostly overgrown path on the left side of the creek to the next artificial step (abseil on the right) --> the 2nd step is on the right side of the creek. The second half of the canyon begins with a short walking passage and a beautiful view, before it suddenly becomes more vertical --> from a large rock you rappel down into the very beautiful and deeply cut part of the canyon --> several rappels follow in the water course before it becomes more open again --> after a short downclimb there is a high rappel that can be divided left --> enclosed by the high rock walls, rappels (from large clamping blocks) and short walking passages alternate in breathtaking surroundings (Attention! Rope jamming) --> at the last rappel is a small water drainage (pump) --> now the canyon opens again --> the next steps can be rappelled left carefully --> at about 280Hm you are back in the shallow streambed before the bridge (exit).

Approach: After parking at the bridge (Esino inferiore) in the village of Varenna, go up the marked trail towards Vezio/Perledo on the orographic left side of the stream (about 100m before the bridge), at the "Hotel/Ristorante Monte Codeno". The path leads to a fork with a private dirt road, which you follow until you reach the asphalt road. Then follow this road descending to the left towards the stream. At the bridge, go (orographically on the left) a little further across the company grounds and climb there directly in the creek (approx. 320Hm), or rappel directly from the bridge 15m into the creek. (35 minutes) If you went up by car, you go in the direction of the bridge. Before the bridge, follow the entrance of the restaurant "Crott del Pepott" to the viewpoint in the canyons. Right next to the railing, you will find the rappel hook. Alternatively, rappel 15m into the stream directly from the bridge.
Tour: The canyon begins less spectacularly at 320Hm before the dam steps between the highway bridge and the access bridge that leads over the Esino. Just at the access bridge there is a private path on both sides that leads to the restaurant and into the canyons. An old stone bridge over the canyon serves as a connection of the private paths (possible entry on the orographic right side via private path and railing to the 1st stand). Better to rappel directly from the bridge 15m into the stream. Under observation of the restaurant visitors, rappel down the first 2 steps. After that follows about 200m of flat walking terrain. After a small brick step it finally gets interesting. Continuously smaller rappels, climbs and slides lead through the canyon, which is not deep but narrow and rich in vegetation. The canyon carries little water despite a large catchment area. However, if the water level is higher it can be quite unpleasant as most of the rappels are directly in the watercourse. The beautiful washouts and the dark limestone inspire every walker. After about 1.5h the canyon ends suddenly and you are standing in the open streambed. Here, unfortunately, you meet a foul-smelling sewage treatment plant that, if you are unlucky, still leads water into the stream.

Access: From Lecco take the SS36 towards Sondrio. Then take the exit towards Varenna, Mandello, Lierna, Abbalia. Continue on the main road next to Lake Como. Just before the tunnel turn left towards Varenna. In the town of Varenna, look for a parking place near the bridge or at the train station (Esino inferiore), possibly with a fee (not easy in high season!). Alternatively, you can park between the tunnels on the SP72, where you can also get off directly at the sewage treatment plant. Access parking: For this, turn right just after the bridge (orographically on the right) and drive up the road towards Perledo. After a few hairpin bends, turn right towards "Vezio". Park on the right next to the company or directly in front of the driving ban at the large parking lot (camper / truck).
Return: From the sewage treatment plant, follow the course of the stream (with little contact with the water) to the 2nd bridge, where you reach the road (220m) via stone steps on the right. Alternatively, you can follow the stream to Lake Como (exit at approx. 200m). Better and faster, however, shortly after the exit from the canyon and directly before the sewage treatment plant, turn right up the steep forest. Then follow a small path that takes you back up to the parking lot in about 15-20 minutes.

If you start at the houses of Barzena, you take the visible forest path Pra L'Oste (1147Hm) --> continue towards the stream and cross the suspension bridge --> after the bridge, look for a suitable place to descend into the stream and start from the water diversion.
Tour: The Pilotera is a rather open canyon that is also suitable for beginners, besides it offers a good alternative, if the Bodengo has too much water --> after the first 2 steps there is a blocky terrain --> after that walking and downclimb passages alternate with short rappels --> some rappels can be jumped after checking the water depth (a good jumping technique is a prerequisite) --> at a tributary from the right the canyon becomes more continuous and narrower --> at the sign "Pro Canyon" there is a short rappel place (narrow place) which can be jumped if there is a lot of water> at a metal sign "Pro Canyon" there is a short rappel (narrows) which can be problematic if there is a lot of water --> the canyon makes a 90° left/right bend here --> there are more nice downclimbs in cut canyons before the canyon opens below the bridge --> here is also the last rappel --> after that it goes over walking and downclimbing passages to the confluence with the Bodengo (approx. 730Hm).

Torrente Novarza und Torrente Lumiei (Kurzversion): Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road through the tunnel and continue over the high Lumiei bridge. Before the 3rd tunnel, turn right. From here, follow the forest road (no driving sign). After about 15 minutes, the forest road leads to a tunnel. (Tip: put on neoprene and equipment at the tunnel.) To the right of the tunnel, a small sloping path leads to the 1st stand at the 2nd tunnel gate. Entry/descent to the canyon at approx. 950m.
Tour: 1: Torrente Novarza: From the 2nd belaystation, go via the 1st belaystation approx. 35m to the intermediate belaystation in the chute on the left. From this intermediate belaystation you reach a scree gully after another 35m, which you descend into the canyon (Caution! The entry or descent into the canyon is very rockfall-prone). The canyon begins with a short walking passage. Once you reach the first abseiling point, the route continues continuously until the end (except for a few short walking and downclimbs), via several rappels. Some of the belays are exposed and can only be reached with a rope traverse. As the canyon usually has little water due to the drainage, it is not too difficult, but should not be underestimated. The canyon is highly recommended even with little water and, in combination with the initial part of the Lumiei, makes for a beautiful day trip. 2: Torrente Lumiei: If you only want to do the interesting 1st part of the Torrente Lumiei, you have to do the Torrente Novarza at the end. (at the junction with Lumiei) a 20m long rope must be attached for the exit. To do this, go left through the tunnel at the exit of the Novarza (at approx. 650m). There are several bolts on the left where the ropes can be attached. After attaching the ropes, go back approx. 50m to exit the Novarza orographic right at the large rock with vegetation. Before the small suspension bridge, go right down the path to enter the Lumiei after about 5 minutes. The Lumiei begins with a small downclimb in a deep canyon. After a short walking passages, you reach another small step, which is mostly rappelled. This is followed by a very impressive section. 2 bolts on the right-hand side allow you to rope up to a large clamping block/stand. From here you rappel free-hanging approx. 20m (with only sparse light) into a large, deep pool (the last few meters can also be jumped). Swim past the large rock on the left. Swim past the large rock on the left before a narrow corridor leads to the light. After a few small slippery spots and pools, you reach the previously fixed exit rope (without this exit aid, you have to follow the canyon for approx. 1.5h without much difficulty. At approx. 570m you will find a path that leads up to the road).

Comment: Parkplatz für Ausstieg nach dem zweiten eingeschnittenen Abschnitt
Access: From Villa di Villa drive in the direction of Tiago. In Tiago, turn left towards "Castello". After the village of Tiago, the road goes downhill and you cross a small bridge. The old parking lot here is unfortunately closed. Continue along the road until you can turn left to the Castello and stop at the large tourist parking lot. Either on foot or with the 2nd car, follow the road past the "Castello". The road changes from asphalt to gravel, then becomes asphalt again, then gravel again until you finally come back to the asphalt road. At the T-junction, turn left towards Feltre/Belluno. Continue. In the small village of "Val Maor", turn right at the first opportunity. Follow the road towards "Venastadio" as far as the soccer pitch. Park here (approx. 450m). Alternative: From Mel at SP 1, drive via Carve to the sports field at the entry point, see: We park the vehicle for a possible transfer (1.5 km, bicycle is sufficient) at Via Carve in a hamlet south of the village of Carve, see: https://goo.gl/maps/SYTX8xPZHXQ1Ph416 I describe the corresponding exit path as "Exit option 3"
Return: Exit option 1: Before the bridge, climb to the left out of the stream to the road and on the road until in the hairpin bend to the left a well-maintained hiking trail branches off. Follow this trail until you reach the parking lot at Castello. Exit option 2: After the siphon and a short walking passages you will come to large red conspicuous boulders. Here you will find a yellow marking on the tree on the left (340Hm). Follow the mark on the left out of the canyon. First steeply up over forest embankment to a wire rope. Then straight ahead (do not follow the path to the right!) across the open area to the small group of houses on the gravel road (for this variant it is best to park the 2nd car in front of the houses to the left on the gravel road). Exit option 3: We come to the conspicuous red boulder (see exit option 2) with red arrows to the right and left. Past this boulder another 50m or so downstream we see relatively clear footprints on the right bank leading up the bank at an acute angle to the right (Aug. 2023 cairn on the right in the streambed), see also photos. We follow the trail, which is clearly marked by cairns at each of the alternative options. This path is also marked on the open street map. In relation to the exit options 1 and 2 we come here relatively comfortable (in relation to variant 1) or relatively fast (in relation to variant 2) to the top. In addition, the implementation distance of 1.5 km is very short.

Approach: (with 2nd car 0min) From the upper parking lot you reach the streambed and soon the 1st dam wall.
Tour: The Maor is a unique aquatic hiking canyon in a vegetation-rich environment. There are 2 deep parts separated by a mostly dry streambed. In these parts there are 1000-fold layered rock slabs. In which the water has created labyrinthine passages. Surefootedness is required as in some twisted places the daylight only reaches the ground very sparingly (however, an artificial light source can normally be dispensed with). At the entry point after the 1st dam wall, which is left downclimbed via fixed ropes, the first parts of the route are cut in shortly. Then you walk for some time in the open streambed until you reach a 2nd dam wall where you rappel left from a tree for about 10m. There is a short open walking and descending section before continuing into the 2nd longer incised gorge section. The entry/descent into the 2nd section starts with a small step and a jump into a nice deep pool, then continues through slightly sloping watery corridors. At the end of the 2nd part, where you come across red boulders, the canyon opens up again. Here you come to a heart-shaped. Siphon that can be easily climbed around. This is followed by a walking passage interspersed with rocks, some of which are downclimbed or bypassed. After a longer section of walking, you come to a stream/inflow from the left, which you follow upstream over a few small steps to an old dam wall with water drainage. There is a good climb on the right-hand side. You will soon reach the road bridge and parking lot (approx. 350m).

Approach: (on foot: 35-40min) 1st possibility: From the cemetery, walk down the hiking trail to the stream in a few minutes --> entry at approx. 500Hm before the stone bridge right. Tip/ 2nd option (approx. 35-40 min): To save yourself the whole car transfer and river walk from the village of Illegro to the first abseiling point, you can follow the pipeline up steep steps through the tunnel right next to the exit at the Enel power station (no lamp required). After the tunnel, the route is flat until you reach the equalizing basin. Once you reach the basin, an iron footbridge leads over the concrete obstruction. Then logically bypass the basin on the left. !!! Before the next iron bridge/stream, look out for the canyoning markings on the tree to the left (blue dot on a white background). From here, follow the markings and visible path straight up steeply through the forest to the first ridge. At the ridge, do not continue uphill to the left, but follow the path right downhill. After a short time, keep left again up to a second forest ridge (you are too high at the ruin), before finally descending steeply to the stream. After a short stretch in the streambed, you are already at the first abseil point. (Caution!!! The main path is not always easily visible due to fallen trees, but there are canyoning markings on trees at longer intervals up to the stream.
Tour: The tour starts at the stone bridge at approx. 500m and leads through open terrain for approx. 20-25 minutes. In this part you pass the "Enel" water drainage after about 10 minutes (most of the water is diverted here. The wall can be downclimbed on the right side before you walk the rest of the way to the 1st rappel point; if you choose the access on foot, you reach the stream about 3 minutes before the first rappel. A traverese rope takes you safely to the exposed stand on the left side before you rappel 35m into the pool. This highest point is followed by a 10m rappel into the second beautiful pool. This is followed by a few small steps and pools in open terrain before it really cuts in for about 100m in the middle section. The incised part does not pose any technical problems. After an inflow from the left, you have a short stretch to the next 3 abseils, which are interrupted by short walking passages. At the end, the canyon narrows again. The last step is cleverly downclimbed due to the absence of a bolt, before you soon leave the canyon and reach the "Enel" power station (parking lot).

2025-07-11: Nice amount of water present. Good anchoring and an overall good experience!
2025-04-20: Water level very high after several days of rain, really fun! Apart from a little water pressure when rappelling, there is never any danger of water due to the shallow pools. Stands in good condition....
Approach: (with 2nd car approx. 10min.) On foot: From house no. 25 (see waypoint), follow the initially well-marked hiking trail up towards "Montigl" (large no-driving sign). After a few steep meters in altitude and beautiful views of the mountain and valley, you reach a forest road, which you follow only briefly before the path branches off into the forest again (hiking trail markings on the stone). Follow the dilapidated and partly overgrown hiking trail, keeping slightly to the left, over the Walrücken ridge to a vineyard with fencing, which already belongs to the Moar Hof farm. A gate with hiking markings points the way to the Maor Hof (at approx. 580m). Behind the farm, follow trail no. 10 down towards "Siebeneich". Cross the stream and continue to the dam wall (with iron steps). The entry point is below the dam at approx. 550m Alternatively, you can ascend orographically to the left of the stream. To do this, go through the estate and follow the hiking trail steeply upwards, when you meet the road turn right briefly, then follow the hiking trail again. When you reach the road again, continue along the hiking trail and keep left at the next opportunity at approx. 430 m above sea level. Follow this path to the entry to the stream. Before the tour, you can check the water level near P1. To do this, take the private road up to the stream.
Tour: The tour begins with a few downclimbs and short abseils. These are not so exhilarating at first. However, the technical middle section with its grandiose views is very rewarding. Here, several successive abseils await the experienced canyoneers (20, 20, 50, 27m). The arrival pools are mostly sandy and shallow. After the last approx. 27m abseil, there is a large rock that is bypassed on the right or climbed under. With a last look back at the beautiful vertical part, the not so pleasant final section follows. There are several more downclimbs and short sections of walking to overcome before the exit at around 300m. A water drainage and a water tank on the right mark the exit (approx. 330m).

Access: Coming from Bolzano, take the main road towards Merano. After the village of Siebeneich (Settequerce) you will see the Unifx company on the left. Turn left there to the lower parking lot. A little further on there is a path on the right that is directly closed off with a barrier, where you could theoretically park your car. The old lower parking lot is now a private road and the possibilities are blocked with stones. If you have a 2nd car, continue from P1 at Unifix in the direction of Merano. At the traffic circle take the first exit and after approx. 300 m follow the mountain road to the right in the direction of Mölten. After the 4th serpentine bend or after the tunnel there is a junction on the right. The narrow asphalt road quickly gains altitude. After a small bridge, turn right to the Maor Hof, where you can park your car after a friendly question (approx. 580m). In 2024, the road is "closed" directly after the turn-off but would theoretically be passable (as of August). Alternatively, you can park directly in front of the no passing signs (max. 2 cars)
Return: From the water tank you can reach the parking lot shortly via the visible path. (Tip: If one has only 1 car, the material can be driven up to the Maor farm by car first. Then drive to the parking exit and walk up via the hiking trail. Include drinking for ascent).

Access: Coming from Bolzano, take the main road towards Merano. After the village of Siebeneich (Settequerce) you will see the Unifx company on the left. Turn left there to the lower parking lot. A little further on there is a path on the right that is directly closed off with a barrier, where you could theoretically park your car. The old lower parking lot is now a private road and the possibilities are blocked with stones. If you have a 2nd car, continue from P1 at Unifix in the direction of Merano. At the traffic circle take the first exit and after approx. 300 m follow the mountain road to the right in the direction of Mölten.

Approach: Behind the church, hiking trail 620 with the sign "Patoc" branches off to the left of the road --> follow this path, initially slightly uphill and then slightly downhill from a small wayside shrine to the stream --> the last few meters you walk parallel to the canyon to a stone bridge at approx. 550Hm --> the entry for the lower part of the canyon is directly to the right after the stone bridge.
Tour: The Rio Patoc is a short, interesting canyon, which can be very tricky at higher water levels as most of the short rappels are directly in the watercourse --> in the upper part of the "Patoc inferiore" some places can be bypassed or downclimbed --> the lower part of the canyon is more incised and technically more demanding --> here is also the highest rappel point of approx. 15m --> between the rappels there are only a few walking passages --> after a small chute and waterfall the tour suddenly ends --> after approx. 100m you pass under the railway/motorway bridge and in front of the Fella river (approx. 400m). meters you stand under the railroad / freeway bridge and in front of the Fella River (approx. 400m). If you want to walk the whole canyon, follow hiking trail 620 to the village of Patoc (access also possible by car) --> however, the upper part is usually omitted due to lack of interest (only walking and climbing passages).

Access: From Carnia drive towards Tarvisio --> at the exit of Chiusaforte turn right towards "Sella Nevea"/Raccolana --> after the bridge turn left towards the church --> behind the church you can park your car next to the road. If you don't want to park in the middle of the village (changing clothes, hanging up things,...) you can stay at the "Brussine parking lot" (see coordinates). There you have much more space and you don't disturb anyone (+2min longer walking distance)
Return: There are 2 options for the way back: Option 1: You swim down the Fella for about 15 min --> before the road bridge of Raccolana there is an iron ladder on the left side, which makes it easier to get out --> shortly you get back to the car at the road. Option 2: At the confluence of the Patoc and the Fella, walk upstream along the Fella for about 200m. You come to a point with fixed ropes along which you come to the cycle path up the slope. Then take the cycle path to Chiusaforte and cross the bridge to the parking lot. approx. 20min

Approach: At the power house after the bridge, you can already see the hiking trail marker 641 (note: on the Tabacco map, the hiking trail is already marked before the bridge. But this is wrong!) Immediately after the power house, follow the access road up to the first house. The path goes between the houses until you come to asphalt again. Continue right here in the direction of the electricity pylons, where there is another trail marker 641. From now on, the trail is clear and you follow this (641) for about 30 minutes steeply through the forest, past the old wooden bridge (Rio Malimberg) to Rio Pliz. At the entry at 700Hm you will find a wooden sign with the inscription "Riu Plis"
Tour: The Rio Pliz is a very open rappel canyon with a beautiful layer. There are no major difficulties at the abseiling points due to the mostly low water flow. At the entry of the Rio Pliz inferiore you start with a small downclimb/slide and are immediately in front of the highest point (70m). The stance is OK but exposed on the left side. If you do not have a 70m ropes, the abseiling point can be divided into 20+50m. The route then continues vertically without much distance to the end. Some nice pools provide a welcome cooling in between before you reach the stone bridge/exit at approx. 570m.

Access: From Hotel Carnia take the SS13 in the direction of Tarvisio. At the exit of Chiusaforte turn right towards "Sella Nevea"/Raccolana. Follow this road straight on, go through the avalanche gallery and continue straight on. About 4 km after the avalanche gallery you will reach the village of "Saletto". Here you turn left (over the bridge) towards "Chiout Cali". At the entrance of the village you cross "Rio Malimberg". Immediately after the bridge park on the right (next to the power house).
Return: Once you reach the stone bridge at 570m, exit the canyon to the right. From here, follow (right) first the forest road and then the asphalt road to the parking lot at the bridge.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road in the direction of travel until you reach a crash barrier. At the crash barrier, you descend left over small steps and a short/steep slope directly into the stream at an altitude of approx. 500m.
Tour: (optional 1h20min or 4-5h) The canyon begins at approx. 500m with a short flat section of walking before the first aquatic 10m abseil on the artificial wall leads into the very incised part. If you already have the feeling that there is too much water in the canyon, the tour should not be continued as there are other tributaries feeding the stream. However, if the water level passes, you can rappel into the narrow section. The rock walls are not high in the first part (20m), but the canyon is no wider than 50cm in places. Through several small pools and downclimbs, you reach the Grotto Verdi, which is also open to tourists. In the middle of this rather open grotto you will find the second abseiling point about 10m behind a large boulder, before it gets narrower again. At the exit of the incised passage, a tributary (Rio Molat) enters the stream from the left. Shortly afterwards, the canyon opens up and you come to a 3m jump with a beautiful rock arch. Then follow the stream for about 50m until you reach the red markers (left) and step bars (see exit option 1). In order to see the last beautiful narrow passage with further beautiful hollows, you have to descend further in the streambed. This is followed by several downclimbs to a rockfall where you can ropes through tight turns for about 12m or go around/downclimb right. After a large boulder with the possibility to slip through comes the last abseiling point of approx. 7m in a very dark pool (Caution! The small pool can create a strong current when the water level is high). At the exit of this short abseil section there are beautiful rock washouts (arches/holes). This part ends with a deep pool with a huge boulder (siphon), which you swim around on the left (only dangerous if the current is strong!). Then comes the 2nd exit option, which in our opinion is the best. If you decide to take the river walk, take a look at variant 3.

In Clauzetto continue uphill towards Grotto Pradis (Gerchia)--> pass Grotto Pradis and you will reach the small village of Gerchia. Turn right here (towards Fonte Pradis) and then immediately left again after the church--> follow the road to the left--> you will soon come to a large gravel area on the left (parking entry).
Return: You have three exit options. We recommend the second option because you can get out after the most beautiful places on the right and no shuttle car is needed. Variant 1(approx. 30min): Approx. 50m after the rock arch jump you can see a red colored dot on the left side of the rock. Here a narrow path leads out of the canyon on the orographic left side. Variant 2 (approx. 50min): After the beautiful rock arches (narrow point) and the siphon point (swimming point), the canyon opens up. Here, after a few steps in the shallow streambed, you meet a single rock in the middle of the streambed (at the same level small tributary on the left, mostly dry). At this point (red color marking), exit the stream to the right and climb steeply for about 20 meters to a narrow path with wire rope protection. Follow the path on the orographic right side a bit above the canyon upstream and cross it at the two stirrups you passed before. On the other side (orographically left), follow the red dots and the clearly visible path out of the canyon. After a few meters of altitude, the path passes below a rock wall and continues towards flatter forest terrain. Stay on the main path and keep left at the fork to return shortly to the Grotto Pradis road and parking area. Variant 3: From here you have for about 2-3h longer walking and downclimb with some jumps and swims, ending at Lago del Tul at about 280Hm. Attention. At higher water levels, the single passages should not be underestimated! The marked path on the left side of the gorge, is really only recommended in case of emergency, because this often poorly visible path leads for a long time through sloping terrain and thorn bushes to the lake. At the beginning of the lake, climb steeply up the left side into the forest until you reach an unmarked path (not shown on the map). Follow this path in a southerly direction until you reach a hill (open area). From here the path goes downhill to a small stream (Rio Molino) and the road where you left the 2nd car before.

2025-07-31: Superiore set up! The final waterfall is a highlight!
Approach: From the parking lot, take the hiking trail (415) on the right for approx. 25 minutes up a steep incline to a ruin with a wooden bench at approx. 480m (see map). Follow the hiking trail for a very short time until you reach a tree with blue and red markings (left). Here you leave the main path and follow the marked path on the left for another 15 minutes (becomes increasingly steeper) to the entry at approx. 370m.
Tour: Once in the streambed, you immediately start with the first abseiling point C16 (right/left) (chain anchor) in shallow pools --> jump or slide in deep pools --> short walking passages --> C28 (right) (chain anchor) or left (rope is required) --> bypass after the large rock block --> gorge becomes a little narrower --> short walking or abseiling passage in a narrow section of the gorge (very beautiful) --> after a large rock block --> bypass with a sling (rope is required, however). bypass, stand with sling (rope is required) --> canyon becomes somewhat narrower --> short walk, downclimb or jump passage in narrow canyon section (very beautiful) --> after the large boulder in the middle of the canyon and the 5 canyons in a row, the canyon turns right --> straight ahead and over a short downclimb to the next 15m step (this can also be downclimbed on the left) --> walk and climb --> narrow canyon section to an incised downclimb 16m chain anchor right/left (danger of swinging!) --> canyon opens and makes a bend to the right to a beautiful abseil (chain anchor left behind the rock), from the top right you can set up a rope traverse to the exposed chain anchor, then C25 in deep pools alternatively R30 top right. Possible jumps 6m, 10m and 12m (for the two higher ones you can climb up a little downstream to the right via a fixed rope) --> short walking and downclimbing passage --> short swimming section before the 50m final waterfall (!!! sharp edge)which exits in a large but shallow pool (here you can take the emergency exit on the left beforehand) 50m ropes are not enough, better 2x60m --> you can downclimb the gorge exit without any problems --> last jump 1m into a swimming pool.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the clearly visible path to the weir. Approx. 50m before the dam, go through the Leale and change to the ortographic right. Here you can immediately recognize the clearly visible climbing tracks that lead up to the ortographic right. Follow the path up to the dam wall. Then follow the Leale upstream for about 5 minutes until you reach the canyon exit. A well-trodden path begins here on the ortographic left, which initially leads steeply upwards. Follow the path ortographic left up the Leale for about 25 minutes and then you come directly to the streambed of the Leale. Once in the streambed, continue upstream along the pools dug deep into the rock until the Riu dal Boschet joins the Leale on the ortographic left. Here you switch back to the ortographic right and continue upstream until you recognize climbing tracks that lead uphill. Follow the path, which is partly marked with blue and white markings and mostly slippery, steeply uphill. Always keep to the right towards Leale, as paths branch off to the left here that do not lead to the entry point. After another 10-15 minutes, the path branches off to the right down to the streambed. If you follow the path, you will also come to the streambed after approx. 50m, where you have to rope down from a tree (not recommended).
Tour: Once you reach the streambed, you will immediately see a dark turquoise pool that has been drilled into the rock. This is the first 3m jump where you come into contact with the fresh water of the Leale. Be careful if you are not jumping but downclimbing. There is a siphon above the jump from which you definitely cannot get out and which is only visible from above if you look closely. If you jump into the Leale, you don't need to worry about the siphon because the pool is exactly the exit from the siphon. Another 1m step follows, which can be jumped very carefully with an ass bomb - because of stones in pools, as well as another jump into the pool. You come to the first rappel (SOS10) located ortographic left at the top. This is the first challenge, as you are forced to enter the often very strong water jet at the bottom, which flows into a turbulent pool. Caution: there are also stones in the pool. The best thing to do here is to try to rope in behind the water jet and then go around the water jet to the left or right. The SOS10 abseil point can be seen from the entry. If you already have the feeling at the entry that there is a lot of water in the canyon, it is recommended that at least one person waits at the entry to set up a rope for an emergency ascent in an emergency. This is followed by a nice swimming passage that leads to a rappel or 8m jump. And then the upper part - which is absolutely worthwhile - is over. You follow the Leale again for 200m and pass the mouth of the Rio dal Boschet. If you have already had problems with the water in the upper part, or if a group member has been overwhelmed, you should leave the canyon here on the ortographic left, where you came to the streambed before! The lower part has rappels that must be done in the water, is heavily incised and has no emergency exits or areas where you can get to safety from the water. The lower part begins with a 6m rappel and after a short climbing and swimming passage, the canyon narrows. You come to the 18m abseil, which must be done in the water. The rappel cannot be seen from the belay. After a small swimming section, you come to a small step (SOS 6), which can also be downclimbed. This is followed by one of the most spectacular sections in the Leale. The abseil point SOS5 is located ortographic left, very exposed and can only be reached by climbing on slippery rock. There are some glued anchors that you should definitely use and which serve to set up a rope traverse. Once you have reached the rappel, you continue with what is probably the most spectacular rappel. The water rushes through a very narrow channel and you have to manage to get out ortographic left of the step with a little rappel skill in order to continue rappelling from the step. You can use some stones as handholds to get out. This section is challenging because if you lose your balance here, you will end up directly in the concentrated water jet, which you don't want to get into! After a small swimming area, you come to a rock ramp where, with a little searching, you will find the 2 glued anchors for setting up the rope traverse. After setting up the rope traverse to the 6m downclimb (SOS4), you come to a narrow water channel, which you have to downclimb by spreading out. After a small swimming section, you come to the abseiling point (SOS3), which can be completed dry. If there is not too much water here, you can also go directly to the edge where the water rushes down from here and jump into the pool. The next abseil point is on the right, very high up. A glued anchor helps with the ascent. You come to the last abseil point, which is located by a large clamping block. If there is little water in the canyon, you can go to the chain anchor (ortographic left), which is located directly at the clamping block. Caution: here you are bound to come into the powerful water jet! If there is more water, you should go under the clamping block and use the chain anchor with the SOS1 badge. This is a bit exposed, but you can get into the water jet further down and can avoid it by spreading out. Once you are in the pool, the last swim section follows through a wonderful dark narrow section. Once you are out of the swimming section, the canyon opens up and you are exactly at the point where you went steeply upwards on the ortographic left during access. As with the access, follow the Leale for about 5 minutes until you reach the dam wall again, which can also be jumped with a courageous leap.

Access: From Tolmezzo, take the S512 main road towards Cavazzo --> continue past the lake --> after the lake, turn right towards Alesso -->from Alesso, continue towards Avasinis --> after crossing Torrente Leale, turn right at the first opportunity --> the dirt road leads to the stream where you can check the water level. The water should not walk more than 1/3 of the width and not more than 2-3cm (in height) over the shoring(see photo for estimation, at this water level the canyon is aquatic but doable without problems) After the water level check you cross the creek --> at the exit of the gravel road you park the car at the edge of the forest.

Val Zemola: Canyon Start
2025-09-11: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Val Zemola Quelques mouvements d'eau mais rien d'insurmontable. Pas de sauts possibles. Très beau. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/ca...
2025-09-07: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Val Zemola Significant amount of water after rains of last friday. Some tricky water movement in a couple of basins, but most are not so deep....
2025-08-27: Outstanding canyons! Must do!!! Exposed walking approach, protected with new steel cable. Perfect anchorages! Crystal clear but icy water! Beautiful!!!
Approach: There is a small chapel right by the bridge that crosses the Zemola. Behind the chapel, a narrow path leads briefly up and then directly next to the canyon, without much difference in altitude, to a concrete wall. From here, a short downclimb takes you to the stream/entrance of the lower section at approx. 810m. For the upper entry, stay on the path for another 10-15 minutes until the canyon becomes more open and you see a chaos of boulders. Here is the entry of the upper part (860m)
Tour: The tour starts immediately with downclimbs and rappels into turbulent pools. The water level should definitely be checked before the tour, as the already turbulent pools can form very strong currents/backwaters. The belays are very well positioned. However, rappels in the water are unavoidable. Some exposed belays can be reached via traverese ropes. At lunchtime, most of the sun reaches the very beautiful, narrowly incised middle section. A short part at the end of the narrow part is almost completely dark (bring a lamp if necessary). After this dark part, the canyon opens up again. This is followed by a very beautiful section with a washed-out rock arch through which the water flows. The chain anchor is in the middle at the back of the rock arch. The rappel leads into a large pool with a strong current. After this point there are 3 more spectacular abseils in beautiful surroundings. Rope traverses to be built help to get safely to the belays and over the abseils. At the end, where the canyon opens up visibly, the rock turns red. After a short stretch in the stream, you will find a blue dot on a rock right marking the exit at approx. 670m.

Comment: Es kann auch etwas weiter unten eingestiegen werden. Hier spart man sich etwas bachlaufen, was allerdings kaum anstrengend ist in diesem Bach. Hierfür dem Weg orographisch Rechts etwas abwärts folgen und bei geeigneter Stelle einsteigen.
Approach: About 10 min downhill (shuttle). From the parking lot go back along the road. In the bend on the trail follow this downhill to the second path that branches off to the right. (If you are in front of a gate you have turned too early) Follow this downhill to the creek. approx. 40min (on foot) From the parking lot behind the Surfspot/ Pension (Café) you walk up the very steep hiking trail 260 next to the Limonenhang (very steep scree path) --> you cross the old Roman bridge where you can already have a look into the creek --> after approx. 20-25min. there is a bend with 2 signs (on the right Parto Bella della Fame 15min, on the left wooden sign with a small path) --> down the path on the left (view level) --> from here descend on the right along the poorly visible path to the stream (entry at approx. 280HM).
Tour: Short climbing passage to the rappel approx. 5m --> immediately after follows an approx. 30m rappel --> rappel 3m (slippery!) --> kl. climbing passage --> shortly after follows a C10 and C25 --> nice view of the lake --> highest rappel with 48m (arrival basin not visible) --> le emergency exit possible --> kl. rappel through thorn bushes approx. 4m (kl. Basin) --> immediately following a C40 (arrival basin not visible) --> short walking passages with left exit possibility (wooden railing) --> right 20m rappel slightly overhanging with step --> very slippery --> C40 on 2 steps divisible (2x20m or 1x40m) with clamping block (twisted and. Now you are under the Roman bridge (ascent path or emergency exit right) --> further rappel over narrow chute C20 in grotto --> after the rock arch comes a 5m climbing passage with fixed ropes on the left side for the further descent. Then there is another 3 meter step that we rappelled from the fixed ropes. (Here mMn. a anchor and a second fixed ropes are missing). After a short walking passages you get out of the canyon in front of the road on the right. (Here you can refresh yourself in the lake) (67Hm). Hydrology: Two days after heavy rain (about 20 l/m²) water level low.

Approach: From the parking lot near the group of houses with stone passage (fountain) follow the right path 203 and 204 down to the bridge Preone(290Hm).
Tour: There are 3 walk options. 1. (4,5-5h) Campione from start to exit. From the bridge Preone (290Hm) you rappel from the exposed chain anchor 25m into the canyon (for this variant you park in the village Cadignano) 2. (ca. 8h) Tignalga + Campione (see description Tignalga) 3. (ca. 1,5h) After the reservoir at the weir. For this variant you have to go up path 267 from the village of Campione for about 20min). Most of Campione is a hiking canyon with small climbing passages and steps over fixed ropes. There are always small tributaries. In the middle part there is a 90° right bend. After that the canyon narrows. Over several slippery climbs and walking passages you come at the end to 2 artificial slopes and the reservoir. Here swim out to the right and climb to the left over the weir and barrier. Afterwards, the gravel path leads back down to the right to the stream. Now swim/walk approx. 100m to wall with water level station. When you have climbed up the wall you can get out on the right via the emergency exit (hiking trail 267). The most beautiful part of the tour starts here. You start with a 25m rappel left into a grotto with, depending on the water level, dry/full pools. A short rappel or jump of about 7m leads to the exposed stance of the 50m rappel (for the rope retrival a 60m rope is recommended). After a 30m narrow swimming passage there are 3 more rappels of about 10m. The first place can be rappelled on the left or on the right or after checking the water depth on the right of 10/8/6m you can jump into big pools. Short walking and climbing passages follow until the last rappel left 10m. The next passages are bypassed on the left over rocks before descending back into the stream before the bridge. Now follow the shallow streambed to the gravel beach.

2025-06-28: Excellent descent, correct water, cool.
Approach: From the parking lot up past the yellow big house (asphalt road with driving ban) you come to a small bridge, here you can take a look into the stream --> then it goes up on the stepped hiking trail (Deva, Foci, Maddalena) --> over a fixed rope and attached ladder you come to a red hiking marker and lattice mast --> here it actually goes left. However, if you go straight, you can check the actual water level at the exit of the canyons --> after checking, go back and continue up the trail. After the stone slabs and with trail markers it becomes flatter. The path leads into the forest and to the stream (entry). Here on the left comes a small tributary with a bridge into the stream.
Tour: Before starting the tour, the weather and the water level should always be carefully checked because the canyon becomes very dangerous at high water levels. At the beginning of the tour comes a short walking passage with small steps that are bypassed or rappel. After a short distance the canyon narrows. Here comes the first dangerous place (abseiling with a backflow in the pool in the middle). With a little skill, one ropes past the pool on the right. Behind the edge below the belaystation there is the possibility to install a redirection. (possibly system setup for the last). Narrowly cut with little incidence of light, it continues to the next 2 small rappelling points and a climbing and walking passage (however, artificial light can be dispensed with). This is followed by several abseils between 10-20m which are partly in the water flow. After the last 20m step, the route continues over several boulders into open terrain. Shortly you reach a small path on the right (exit).

2025-05-01: Very nice,.sunny canion wit a lot of slides, some jumps. In a middle you pass a beach, where poeple have a bath :-)
Approach: Follow the road until you can comfortably enter the stream at a bridge at about 600Hm. Alternatively, take the entry to the lower part of the Vione Superiore Valle di Bornico along trail 265 at the exit of Via Resem. Follow it until you reach a fork in the woods. If you want to enter at the half of Vione 1, follow the path on the left down to the stream. (Not recommended, because it is easier to go down the stream and the entry from the bridge is more time-saving).
Tour: Once you arrive at the stream, you immediately start with the first small abseils, which normally don't pose any major problems. The rappels are always easy to see and the pools are unproblematic. The open course of the gorge means that you always feel safe. However, this can quickly change in bad weather due to the large catchment area. Some pools can also be jumped after checking the depth. In the middle section of Vione 1, you come to the hiking trail that leads over the stream (emergency exit). From here, the 2nd part of Vione 1 begins. The descent leads over a sloping rock slab to the 20m abseil point (bolts for rope traverses available). This is followed by a 15m rappel (possibly jump into deep pools). After a short walking passages there is a slippery rock slab. Here you can downclimb through a small hole approx. 5m through the rocks. Next rappel approx. 10m. Left long hollow with fixed ropes (be careful, very slippery!). Left rappel approx. 15m or jump 8m. Now comes the highest abseil point at 45m (good belay on the right) (there is also a belay on the left, but not optimal rope guidance). There is a large pool below the abseiling point. Then it goes over slippery spots up to some small slides. It continues rather flat to the bridge (exit). After the bridge, the Valle dei Piovere (Vione 2) begins. If you want to walk the lower part, it is best to stay on the road for about 150m, but at a parking bay a trail leads back to the stream.

Access: From Torbole, take the "SS45bis" through Riva and Limone to "Prato della Fama". Take the 2nd car through the long tunnel and turn right towards Tignale. From here, follow the mountain road for approx. 5 km, which then meets a bridge (exit Vione 1 or entry Vione 2). The car is parked a little below the bridge in a large bay. (or a little further down in the large parking lot if you want to do the commercials a favor). With the other vehicle, continue uphill for another 4.2 km until the road to Gardola branches off to the left. Drive through Gordola and at the northern end of the village turn left onto Via Panoramica towards Aer (571 m above sea level), pass this village on the right until you reach the exit of the tarred road (Via Castegneto). Park the second vehicle here. Alternatively, you can also park in Piovere

Approach: Enter the creek right next to the gravel turnout at km 47.5. If you choose the alternative parking lot and park in the hairpin bend, you descend briefly to the dam and enter directly at the weir.
Tour: The tour begins with walking passages and climbing over large boulders. At a 3m step you will find a fixed rope for downclimbing. This is followed by 2 swimming passages with small slides in a narrowing canyon. Arrived at the grotto, the 10m step can be rappelled or slid. After the big pool in the grotto the canyon opens. Here you have the possibility to bypass the next 10m step via fixed ropes (right) up to an 8m jump (attention water depth!). After the jump (rappel) comes the weir with possible emergency exit. This is the beginning of the lower part (see alternative canyon start). On the left side of the wall is the belaystation for the 20m steps. Here you mostly rappel 15m and slide 5m into the deep pool. In the grotto, swim to the next 25m rappel (left or right). Enclosed by high rock walls follows a 6m jump into a large pool. Then there is a narrow 5 m gap which can be rappelled or climbed down. Now you are at the final waterfall (45m). Here you can rappel to the left outside the water or to the right in the water to the large water basin (a 60m rope is recommended for pulling off). After a short walking passages in the shallow streambed, at the end of the tour you can take a running jump of 6m from the dam wall into the last pool.

Approach: From the small parking possibility (right bend) follow the forest path to the left. Passing a house with a well, the path leads shortly to the stream (entry at about 830Hm).
Tour: Very nice open south-facing canyon. Several short to medium rappels with partly exposed stands (rope traverse possible). Ropes should be used gently at the rappels because of the sharp edges. The rappels are mostly in the watercourse, but the arrival pools are not deep. There are only short walking passages between the steps, if any. The highest rappels are in the middle part of the tour. The Rio Val flows into the Palvico. The combination of both rather short streams is recommended, but for this you need 50m of ropes and the car must be parked at the exit from the Palvico (picnic area/tennis court near Storo) (see description Palvico).

Access: From Torbole you drive up towards Val di Ledro and past the lake. After some serpentines downhill at Km 47 (on the SS 240, 3Km before Storo) you park the first car (here you can already see the last rappel and the water level). Continue with the second car in the direction of Storo. In Storo follow the main road until the hardware store "SAV". Just after the hardware store turn right and follow the narrow straight road. At the small sign with the inscription "Via Trento" turn right. Follow the mountain road up for about 3,6Km (you go through a tunnel and pass a few houses). At the highest point you will come across a pilgrimage chapel. (In the summer of 2023 there was a construction site from the chapel and the road was officially closed, so include these 20 minutes to the walking time). Road now leads somewhat downhill. After a short stretch with a few bends comes a sharp left bend where a forest road (old no driving sign "Privato") branches off to the right. Follow the forest road downhill to the right (approx. 40m). In the first bend you have a limited parking possibility (max. two cars) (840Hm).
Return: The exit is directly on the road next to the stream Palvico (parking shuttle car) (830Hm).

Approach: You stand right next to the stream.
Tour: From the parking lot at the bridge you walk in the streambed to a pipeline and the 1st of 3 ladders --> downclimb --> right past large rocks to the 50m downclimb which can also be divided (30m+ 20m) --> grotto with high rock walls -->2m rappel --> 4 rappels of approx. 10m, 8m, 10m and 15m (big clamping block) --> followed by 2 small climbing passages --> rappel 13m --> fixed rope with hourglass (25m rappel over 2er cascade in grotto) --> short rappel 3m --> !!!! downclimb on the right side about 5m or left 5m rappel to the final waterfall (60m) --> the final waterfall can be divided on the left side (R45+R20) --> but there is only one bad 8mm bolthook in the small bulge on the left. (possibly set a new piton) --> bypass the boulder on the left --> left fixed rope 4m --> downclimb on the right over boulders --> here you meet the stream Campione (370Hm) --> in the Campione you have to follow the stream because there is no downclimb here (unless you take the hiking trail 203 and 204 that comes from the village Cadignano to the bridge of Campione and set up a 25m rope for the exit, time needed approx. 1 hour --> here would be actually the entry for the Campione, with this variant one needs the shuttle car in the locality Cadignano and of course ascenders) --> otherwise the brook (hiking canyon) approx. 3h up to the reservoir follow and r. swimming leave --> left over the dam wall go and climb over the barrier --> the gravel path back to the brook take (after the weir) and in the brook after approx. 100m r. the hiking way as Rückwegt take. --> 2nd option approx. 1,5h from the weir follow the rest of the Campione (very worthwhile) --> exit at Lake Garda in Campione at 660Hm (see description Campione). 3rd option: after the Tignalga flows into the Campione, follow the almost horizontal course of the Campione stream until the first waterfall. On the left side of the cliff there are poorly visible iron clamps. Climb up there, then follow the path to Sermerio (1st fork to the left). Alternatively, you can go up to the road in Michele (about 1h) ( 1.5h ).

Tour: After a short walking passages the first rappels come, which are usually 10 to 15m high --> after approx. 5/6 rappels comes the highest rappel with approx. 35m (! Sharp edges!) --> the route continues continuously in a narrowing canyon over several rappels, which are often up to 20m high --> small sections can also be climbed using the straddle technique --> however, caution is advised as there are slippery spots everywhere due to the vegetation. Small sections can also be downclimbed using the straddle technique --> however, caution is advised as there are slippery spots everywhere due to the vegetation --> in the last third the canyon becomes even narrower and several rappels follow at short intervals until the end --> after the last rappel it continues over small climbing and walking passages for approx. 50m to the exit of the canyon (stone wall).

Approach: From the ENEL power station via the hiking trail left up to the stream --> you can check the water level beforehand at the exit below the key point (clamping block) (350Hm).
Tour: You can do the lower part of the Vajo dell'Orsa as a short introductory tour or do the very rewarding combination with part 1 (see description Vajo dell'Orsa superiore) --> if you decide to do the lower part only, after a short walking passage you go straight to the 1st abseiling point of 10m --> this is immediately followed by a 12m section slightly overhanging in deep pools + a small jump into the next pool --> after the next 5m step with large pools you come to the 1st abseiling point of 10m --> immediately afterwards there is a 12m section slightly overhanging in deep pools + a small jump into the next pool. After a short walking passage you go straight to the first rappel point of 10m --> immediately afterwards there is a 12m point slightly overhanging in deep pools + small jump into the next pool --> after the next 5m step with large pools comes the last rappel point --> here you can rappel left from the clamping block to a clear chain anchor or you can rappel directly in the water course below the clamping block (!!!rock in the arrival pool!!!) after a short walking section you leave the canyon right (290Hm).

Vajo dell’Orsa (superiore): Canyon Start
2025-07-12: All slides doable, very very nice! 6 hours for two between access and return
2025-06-08: All good. All depth. Beautiful as always
Approach: From the parking lot go to the entrance with the signs --> pass between the houses --> follow the hiking trail downhill --> at the tree with the sign 'Per la Valle' (hard to read) continue right --> you pass a rock face and a little further down you come to a fixed rope --> after a short time you are in the streambed (approx. 680Hm) --> follow the watercourse to the first steps of the tour.
Tour: After the first steps, there is a longer slippery section with small toboggans before you reach the more beautiful part of the canyon. At the point where the canyon narrows is probably the most beautiful part of the canyon. There are several abseiling points here, most of which can be slid or jumped. The water here is usually very clean so that you can easily estimate the depth. The canyon is offered by clubs, so there are usually good chain anchors, bolts and several fixed ropes in the canyon. The middle section is very incised and beautiful. This is followed by a rock labyrinth where you have to find your way by climbing down and rappelling. The highest abseiling point in the rock labyrinth is approx. 18m (at this point the water continues to walk underground). A gigantic clamping block marks the final part of the labyrinth. The canyon then opens up and here you have the option of bypassing the next steps via a fixed rope on the left. In the lower part of the tour there is a beautiful cascade (10m/S10 +25m) and a 10m abseil over several rocks. After a short walking passages you come to point 1 which marks the exit. Here you exit the canyon right through the crevice (approx. 350m). The lower part of the canyon is also worthwhile (see Vajo dell'orsa inferiore).

2025-06-21: Beautiful canyon, somewhat slippery. Everything top, very well insured.
2025-04-26: Nice short canyon. All stands tip top with a few old fixed ropes.
Approach: Over the stream or from the road, take the wide hiking trail (Kienbergsteig) which leads up into the forest on the right (orographic left next to the traffic sign 24t)--> after a few meters you come to a small forest clearing with a fork in the path, here follow the now narrower steep path to the left --> after a short distance you come to the next small fork in the path --> here follow the clearly visible path on the left without much difference in altitude above the canyon towards the stream. This is where the interesting part of the canyon begins at approx. 600m (if you follow the Kienbergsteig, you could also enter the stream further up, but it is less interesting as it takes approx. 40 minutes to walk/downclimb).
Tour: The rather open Weißbach canyon has two approx. 25m high and several small downclimbs --> depending on the water level, the small steps can often also be climbed down --> at normal water levels, the well-equipped canyon is also suitable for beginners --> between the steps (downclimbs) there are short walking passages and small slides with washouts --> after the last approx. 8m downclimb it becomes flat --> there follows an approx. 10min walking passage in the flat canyon bed to the starting point (approx. 500m).

Approach: From the parking lot (approx. 620Hm) it goes first over the streambed to a small meadow (clearing) here you also have an insight into the last part of the gorge --> at this point you follow the hiking trail left up --> after a few meters of altitude you can already see the 50m waterfall (water level) --> from here continue climbing for about 20min and then right to the entry/streambed (approx. 800Hm).
Tour: At the beginning you have short walking and climbing passages. After a short time there are the first small rappels which are mastered without much effort --> the canyon is very open and sunny in the upper part --> once you have warmed up and left the first rappel behind, you come to an impressive 50m waterfall with a good chain anchor (!sharp edge) --> in the first third you are directly in the water steel. After that you rappel in the overhang --> after this point comes a short walking passage --> now the canyon is cut --> the tour offers until the end varied and beautiful passages with mostly smaller rappel in the water course --> shortly before the exit comes another short narrow canyon section.

Access: Freeway exit Tarvisio. Direction Slovenia/Bovec. Cross the IT/SLOW mountain border (Predil Pass). After the border crossing follow the road downhill towards Bovec. Just before Log Pod Mangartom (between Podnji Log and Stmec na Predlu) there is a bridge over the Predelica river. Immediately after that, turn left into a gravel driveway that ends after about 100m. Here you have a large parking area and you can already see the upper part of the canyon.
Return: The exit is on the right directly at the meadow at the beginning of the access (approx. 620Hm) --> from the meadow again across the stream to the parking lot.

2025-03-06: Finally we did potok with clear waters, pools are deeper then last years. Nice flow before the snow melts start Last anchor should be rebuild this year, bolts got damaged.
2024-08-30: It was relatively slippery during our inspection because there has been little water flow in recent weeks. Stands are older but fully ok. Forest gorge with a beautiful finale
Approach: Walk from the parking lot to the inn --> behind the inn a road goes up --> follow this road for a few meters until a path branches off to the left --> follow this path parallel to the Ujcia --> there are several junctions where you always keep left --> after some time you will come to a meadow with a hut and a fountain --> behind this hut continue up the not always clearly visible path (parallel to the canyon) --> at about 700Hm you meet the stream.
Tour: It starts immediately with an approx. 25m rappel --> further short to medium-high rappels follow --> walking passages --> until you come to a 40m rappel with a sharp edge (before that there is an emergency exit) --> after the high rappel there are again some medium-high rappels --> after an approx. 10m rappel comes a short walking passages where you can get off via the visible hiking trail --> short rappel left of the tree --> now it continues really vertically --> in a 3-part cascade it goes down a total of about 75m (C20, C30, C20) --> the pools are not so big --> protection to the stand recommended!

Approach: From the parking lot you can already see the last steps of the canyon 18m/2m/3m --> from here it goes up the signposted hiking trail --> you always have views into the canyon --> first keep left, but then turn right over a stone wall --> follow the signs up to approx. 550Hm (larger flat forest floor area) --> here follow the path to the left towards the streambed and descend over a steep boulder field with rope traverses to approx. 480Hm (entry).
Tour: Once in the canyon, you immediately start with many small slides and pools --> the slides are max. 3m high and can partly be bypassed or rappelled --> as the canyon is very popular, fixed ropes have been installed for bypasses --> there are entry and exit points throughout the canyon --> the highest rappel point C25 left is in the middle section and secured with rope traverses (left also possible to bypass) --> several small jumps and slides + rappels on fixed ropes follow --> the highest rappel point C25 left is in the middle section and secured with rope traverses. (bypass also possible) --> there are several small jumps and slides + rappels on fixed ropes --> in the lower part you come to the stone bridge already crossed on access, there is a 15m rappel (right). After a few rappels you will come to a large clamping block under which the water drops (C10 abseil or slide) (!!! If the water level is high!) --> further downclimbing and a rappel with 18m announce the exit of the canyon (a part of the 18m is also gladly slid, but is to be enjoyed with caution as the slide runs almost vertically, the pool is deep but very narrow) --> before the exit pool you have 2 jumps which you can also downclimb (slippery!).

Approach: From the parking lot, walk along the gravel road --> pass a barrier and continue up to a trail marker (Steinmandl+ signs) --> take the path to the right here and walk across the boulder field --> after approx. 20 min. When you reach a viewpoint --> keep left and you will come to the descent path which leads over the steep boulder field to the stream in about 25-30 minutes --> once you reach the stream, take the right side of the stream to the entry point.
Tour: A short swimming passage is immediately followed by a mighty labyrinth of rocks into which you first rappel, then rappel and swim (problematic when there is a lot of water)--> the mighty wedged limestone rocks are very impressive --> after the chaos of rocks follows a very narrow, 1m wide part with towering rock faces in which the light is only very sparse (very beautiful part) --> in this part there is also a swimming section and a slide in very dark pools (be careful, very narrow) --> further on you come to a small abseiling point in a slowly narrowing pool --> the water is very narrow and the slide is very narrow. Abseiling point in a slowly opening canyon --> swimming passage --> climbing over small rocks --> at the end you have another swimming passage of about 100m --> the exit is on the right (after a small iron plate bridge).

Approach: From the parking lot it goes straight down to the Rio Vero stream (easy access) --> get in right at the dam wall. You can also enter via the Bco Argatin inferiore (rappel max. 7m).
Tour: The Rio Vero is a very long and beautiful gorge hike in mostly very open terrain, but there are always spectacular rock labyrinths in which you have to find your way imaginatively through the sometimes very narrow passages and crevices --> you don't need a rope for this --> a large backpack should be avoided because of the narrow passages in order to be able to master the impressive passages without any problems --> many narrow passages can also be bypassed or climbed around --> the tour is very much walked on --> you should take enough to drink (also for the way back) and possibly a snack with you --> the water in the gorge is clean but often agitated by the many canyonauts --> several swimming passages and long walks with small climbs are the main features of this hike. the water in the canyon is clean but often churned up by the many canyoneers --> several swimming passages and long walking passages with small climbs are the main features of the canyon.

Return: The 1st option (with shuttle car) is to take the exit at the stone bridge where the signs and the hiking trail to Asque are also marked (approx. 1.5h) 2nd option without shuttle car: follow the signs to Barranco de Lumos (visible water pipe), first climb up, then into the Brranco de Lumos stream --> walk along it, after approx. 500m left out of the stream (inflow from the right) --> here the path mostly steeply uphill --> then follow the path above the depths of the canyons to the road (beautiful view, but long hiking trail) --> keep left at the visible telephone/electricity line --> once at the road, walk left the last km back to the parking lot (possibly stop). From the Puente Villacantal, a much shorter ascent to Alquezar is also possible (approx. 40 min.). High above Alquzar, you can spend the night in your camper van free of charge. In the past, it was also possible to walk out to the "Rio Vero" campsite along a path. However, this path has now been abandoned and only the remains of it are still recognizable.

Approach: From the bridge follow the road for about 50m --> before the house (left side) turn right up the steep forest path (= shortcut of the road) --> at a fork in the road turn right up to the road --> follow this road for about 400m --> from the road you can already see into the canyon (22m waterfall) --> at a prominent left bend there is a post box and wooden sign 'Le Fargasso' --> here turn right down the narrow path to the stream.
Tour: Entry at approx. 610m --> at the beginning you will immediately notice that the canyon will be very slippery --> due to the vegetation and partly shady places, a lot of algae and moss accumulate on the gneiss rock --> after a short walking passages there are some passages to climb around (slide) --> soon comes the first and highest rappel point with 22m (left or right) --> after the rappel there is another slippery passage with 10m (right). (left or right) (!!! very slippery but belay to belay possible) --> after the pool there is another slippery passage which can be downclimbed 10m (right) --> downclimb and (slide over rock 4m) --> pool --> C14 (right) (!!! this place can be very tricky if there is a lot of water); 1. Possibility: rappel in the water, the following chute can be walked or slid (very slippery, large dark pool) 2nd possibility: the first person skillfully rappels right above the water over the rock and stretches a rope slide --> then you can jump into the pool (difficult rope retrival!!!!) --> some walking and climbing passages with flat slides and large rock chaos that can be bypassed or downclimbed --> C14 (right) with overhang in large pools --> then climbing passages again over large rocks (can be bypassed on the right side) --> approx. 20m swimming section --> exit left before the dam wall with water channel (approx. 520Hm).

2025-05-01: Gorgeous canyon....last jump directly into the sea....return via ferrata and long path difficult to locate...bring plenty of water to drink
Approach: Through the gate, past a transformer and tennis court always stay on the main path until another gate in front of a stone hut (possibly locked) marked as a refugio. After crossing the gate, follow the road. Soon after crossing a dry streambed, a path marked with cairns and red dots branches off to the right (March 2009: branch marked by green sign on olive tree)\n\nThis path leads across a plateau overgrown with diss grass (Ses Comes) in the direction of NE to a prominent notch - from here on the path can no longer be missed, it goes continuously down through the canyon to the entry. If there is a lot of water, you can put on the wetsuit already at the mouth of the Torrent de s'Hort des Moli coming from the left (upper entry in the topographic view), otherwise climb around the first basin (Gorg Larg) on the right, pass the following basin (Gorg del Bec d'Oca) then on the left and past a prominent rock tower, the Duck's Beak (Bec d’Oca) at the beginning of the final canyon entry - from here on the stream is called Torrent Fondo.If you want to spice up the long access with some canyoning action, you can take the Torrent de s'Hort des Moli about 150m after the turnoff from the road to the left into the mostly dry streambed. After a bit of block hopping, a low but narrow gorge soon begins with two rappels (4m and 15m) and an entertaining passage. Hike briefly in a valley extension (the canyon coming from the left should also be walkable) before a second, deeper canyon begins which leads to the standard descent with 4 rappels and some pools of water. Anchors are trees and thin hourglass slings.
Tour: The short but impressive and varied canyon makes up for the long access and return journey. However, there should be enough running water in the pools. You get the most sun in the canyon at lunchtime. If you decide to climb back up in the canyon, you should check at each step whether it is possible to climb back up. The last steps before the sea are particularly beautiful. This is also the highest abseil point at approx. 20m. Then you can decide whether to make the exit right over the rock face or climb back up the canyon.

2025-05-01: Gorgeous canyon....last jump directly into the sea....return via ferrata and long path difficult to locate...bring plenty of water to drink
Access: From Port de Soller, take the main road C711 towards Soller. After the tunnel there is a traffic circle where you turn left towards Pollenca. From here, follow the long winding mountain road C710 up to 1000m, where a tunnel leads to the 1st reservoir "Embassament de Cuber" and after a short distance to the 2nd reservoir "Embassament des Gorge Blau". After another tunnel, there is a turn-off to "Sa Calobra", with a kiosk and large parking lot in front of it. Here you continue in the direction of Pollenca. After passing the "Escora" restaurant, you will come to a crossroads. Here you are left to continue down to Pollenca. After about 10 minutes or shortly after the post (km 11) you will see the signs for "Mortix". The possibly open iron gate tempts you to drive in, but this should not be done, as it may be closed later. There is limited parking space left in front of the gate or 50m further down on the right side of the road (high edge of the road!!!).
Return: There are 2 ways to get out of the canyon. 1st option (recommended!): Climb back up the canyon to the entry via the fixed ropes. 2nd option: At the exit of the canyon (by the sea) you have the option of climbing right out of the canyon via the steep, rugged rock faces (3rd degree!). Glued anchors are available for belaying. Once you reach the edge of the cliffs, you have to cross a very confusing cart field (cairns and clear climbing tracks). Once back on level ground, ascend briefly eastwards into a saddle. Here, too, you have two options: Option 1: through the wide basin above the cliffs or back down into the valley and return up Mortitx as on the access route. Option 2: Take the path close to the witches' caves. Option 1: If you go down into the valley, follow the hiking trail/streambed back to the starting point (parking lot) once you reach the entry to the Mortix. Option 2: You soon come to the path marked with cairns to the witches' caves in the north-east, which you follow briefly uphill in a south-westerly direction to an abandoned farm (brick well along the way). Through the open valley back to the streambed and via the access path back to the parking lot. A (rewarding) alternative access or return route across the plateau is described in the Rother hiking guide Mallorca. It is well worth exploring the access and return route as part of a hike to the witches' caves.

Approach: Alternative from the upper parking lot: From the upper (small and unpaved) parking lot next to the small one, follow the path for about 400 meters, first a short climb, then follow the saddle. Alternative On foot from the lower parking lot: about 45min. From the parking lot --> left up the road, after a few hairpin bends you will come to the sign 'Agarone' --> continue up the road --> at the next crossroads continue to 'Monti Motti' and always straight along the road --> here you will come to some nice houses and bus stops --> after a fountain (on the left) you will come more and more into the woods.) you get more and more into the forest --> at the sign 'Via Medoscio' at about 450Hm (parking) --> from here you leave the road and go right the trail through the forest a bit up --> then down to the stream at about 430Hm (entry).
Tour: In this canyon there is always something to do --> right at the beginning you have several rappel (jumps) --> the short distances between the rappel or jumps you have to overcome mostly climbing --> in this canyon there are many variants to master steps (waterfalls) --> in the upper half you come to a large overgrown boulder in the middle of the canyon --> here can also be bypassed left --> after a short climbing and hiking passages comes a beautiful approx. 30m waterfall (left in the water, re. outside of the water) --> after good control you can master the next parts by jumping or sliding --> be careful at the 18m slide (very steep/li. rock) (if you don't have enough practice it's better to rappel here!) --> after the pool on the left, rappel over rock for 4m --> again on the right. hold and rappel --> now comes another 7m jump and 10m rappel --> climbing passage in the water --> short swim --> rappel 8m right and20m left --> 3m jump left (! Caution) --> after a short swim it goes to the exit of the canyons which opens here and the bridge with parking comes into view. In 2022 all jumps were gravelled.

Iragna (superiore): Canyon Start
2025-07-19: Everything was super... the one or other impact anchor is loose... But everything goes without a hitch
2025-07-07: This canyon just needs another 50,000 years, and it'll be five stars. Numerous tantalising slides that just didn't quite seem worth it today - so close to being okay, but worth the risk? For someone,...
Approach: By car the access is shortened to 20min --> from the parking lot you go back to the serpentine curve and continue the slightly sloping path through the mountain village "Citt" --> at the signpost continue to the left in the direction of Pön --> after a few minutes there is another fork --> here right down to the stone bridge --> entry at about 730Hm. If you do not have a shuttle car, you can take the footpath from the village of Iragna, which leads up to the entry in about 1.5 hours.
Tour: The Iragna superiore is one of the most beautiful canyons in Ticino --> the upper part can be well combined with the intermedio --> the water level should be checked before the very aquatic canyon, absolutely --> below the bridge is r the first and highest abseil (36m) which leads directly in the water course, into the breathtaking scenic landscape --> technically demanding rappels alternate with jumps and short walking passages --> a rope traverse is often needed to safely reach the exposed belay stations (there are plenty of pitons for this purpose)--> most of the jumps require a good jumping technique and control of the water depth in the pools --> the current should not be underestimated --> at the trickiest points, it is usually possible to rappel outside of the water flow --> if you only want to walk the Iragna superiore, look for the exit at approx. 510Hm left the exit over the slope (open canyon section before the next rock face and downclimb) --> in most cases, however, the Iragna intermedio is done at the same time (short part) --> if you also decide for a part or the whole Iragna inferiore, time and equipment should be considered!

Comment: 560HM
Approach: From the parking lot, go up the hiking trail (Penn-Val-Moleno) from the bend in the road --> after a short time you come to the bridge on the left where the water level is checked --> return to the hiking trail and follow it steeply up through the forest until you reach approx. 580Hm --> here there is a single boulder on the left side (if you see 2 houses you have already gone too far) --> behind the rock you have the possibility to descend into the canyon (there is no real path here) --> the stone slabs and rocks scattered along the ridge serve as a guide --> first descend straight until it gets too steep, then take the best path to the right until you reach a small inlet --> at the end of the inlet (slippery!) there is the possibility to rappel 25m from the tree into the already visible stream (if you cross even further above, you can also rappel into the stream without a rope through rough terrain) --> entry at 560Hm or 480Hm (tree).
Tour: Once you have found the steep access to the Moleno, you can immediately see the crystal clear green/blue water --> the first places are downclimbed or slid --> after a short walking passages you come to the first abseiling points --> experienced canyoneers can also jump these points after checking the basin (stone in 2. The pools in the canyon are usually very deep, but should always be checked for jumps --> the highest abseiling points are in the upper part; 25m, 30m, 30m (the rope can easily get stuck here!).)--> after these rappel points there are many large rocks where you usually have to climb your way down --> shortly before the water drainage there is a high jump of 12m into a large pool (can also be rappelled) --> after the wall there are 2 short rappels and several rocks that are downclimbed to the last jump --> after the last jump you are left at the exit.

Comment: Start Vielia I
Approach: (Vielia III 1h - 1:15; Vielia II 1:30 - 1:45; Vielia I 2:30 - 3h) The access to Vielia is easy to find, as you always stay on path 377, which leads through Val Vielia. At the beginning of the trail you have to climb a few meters before you reach the Val Vielia after about 20-25 minutes. From there, the path leads relatively gently uphill through beech forests. After about 40-45 minutes, you come close to the streambed of the Vielia for the first time. This is the entry point to part IV (approx. 660m) Stay on the path for another 20 - 30 minutes, ascending slightly, until you reach the entry to Part III. Here you will see footprints leading downhill through the forest to Vielia (approx. 800m). To get to the entry to part II of the Vielia, stay on trail 377 for another 30 minutes, which now also has some slight ascents. Every now and then you can see into the gorge of part II. The entry to part II is located at 930 m above sea level at old ruins of a house. This is now followed by the most strenuous part of the access to Vielia - Part I. Here you have to climb quite a few meters in altitude and should be in good physical condition if you want to go up to Part I. You continue for about an hour, sometimes steeply uphill, before you gain an unmistakable view of a gravelly high plateau at 1250m and find yourself right next to the Vielia. This is the entry point to Part I.
Tour: (Vielia III: 1:15; Vielia II: 1:30; Vielia I: 2:30-3h) Vielia I: Part I begins with a small jump and a 5m rappel. This is followed by a few smaller abseils before you reach the first and only narrow section of Part I. A 16m rappel leads to a narrow corridor, which you leave by climbing onto a clamping block. This is followed by the highest rappel of the entire Vielia tour - a 40m rappel over 2 diagonal passages, interrupted by a small flat section in between. This is followed by 4 rappels up to 20m high, until you reach a 7m-high section that you can either dry rappel or, for very experienced jumpers, jump. Here, however, you have to hit a very small spot (approx. 1.5m x 1.5m) when jumping so that you don't hit the rocks that come into the pool from the left and right under water. This is followed by 190m M+E until you reach a point where you have to cross the slippery streambed very carefully and downclimb slightly before reaching the abseiling point on the right. This point can either be rappelled dry for 20m or you can rope down approx. 14m and jump the remaining 6m into the deep pool. After another 10m abseil into a deep pool, you come to the highest abseil cascade of the Vielia tour: approx. 60m, which is divided into a 25m section and a 35m section. After this point, you have completed Part I of the Vielia and it is 15-20 minutes M+E until you reach Part II. Here it pays to exit the stream on the ortographic right and follow the path to the entry of Vielia 2. Vielia II: At Vielia II, aquatics and jumping fans get their money's worth. With a total of 8 jumps in part II, this is certainly the highlight for anyone who likes to jump. After the first 5 jumps and a section of approx. 120 m M+E+swim, you come to the so-called "Hypnotic Pool". The Hypnotic Pool is a relatively dark-looking spot that jump fanatics can jump (approx. 15 m), but which can also be rappelled. The Hypnotic Pool is also the start of the narrow section of the 2nd part, where a beautiful rock gate follows after a small abseil and a jump. It is important to use the stance ortographic right (C5 right) at the rock gate and not to rappel into the crack. You cannot get through the waterfall in the crevice, as it is extremely concentrated at the rock gate. After the rock gate, the gorge opens up again a little and you are faced with the highest rappel in the 2nd part. After the small final jump into the long pool, the next 20-minute M+E immediately follows, which then leads to Part III. Up to the hypnotic pool, you have the option of getting out of the canyon in an emergency. Vielia III: Part III of Vielia starts at around 800m and has 2 jumps in open terrain at first. Then you come to the first abseil point, which marks the "point of no return" for the whole of Part III. In other words, from here on you have no escape route for the rest of Part III. At the same time, you have to be careful on this first rappel, especially at higher water levels, as a siphon can form here. The rappel tempts you to follow the course of the water to the ortographic left. This leads into a pool that can only be exited through a 1m hole. This is a superiore photo opportunity at low water, but quite dangerous at higher water levels. In order to avoid this point, you should keep to the ortographic right, which can sometimes be unpleasant for inexperienced rappelers because you have to rappel against the slope of the wall and the natural course of the rope. However, this is no problem for experienced canyoneers. After 2 more 6m jumps into crystal-clear, turquoise pools, you come to one of the most beautiful canyoning passages in Friuli - the passage to and the jump into the Olympic Pool (see special features) After the Olympic Pool, there is a large cold inlet ortographic right into the canyon. The water is more than doubled here and when you jump into the pool you notice that the water is several degrees cooler compared to the Olympic Pool. This is followed by a small abseil and a jump before you reach the exit of Part III after a small swimming passage and come out directly at the access point to Part IV. Vielia Part III is certainly one of the most beautiful canyoning passages there is. At the same time, only experienced canyoneers should enter this part, as it is quite dangerous, especially at higher water levels.

Return: Directly when you come out of the swimming passage of Vielia III, you can climb up to the right again to hiking trail 377 (approx. 10m). Then simply go back the way you came up before. Attention: If you want to add Vielia IV, you must be aware that the canyoning challenges are more demanding than those of parts I-III. In addition, you will be in Vielia IV for at least 3.5 hours with lots of water contact and sometimes longer walking and swimming sections, with no meaningful exit option if you are too exhausted. If you want to do Part IV but don't want to risk your strength, you can do Vielia IV the following day and leave some of your canyoning equipment at the exit of Part III. This way you don't have to carry the canyoning equipment down and back up the next day.

Staubfall: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Salzburg Süd, take the highway to the Wals exit, then cross the Walserberg border in the direction of Lofer. After the tunnel at the border, turn right towards Unken. In the village, follow the signs on the right up into Heutal (steep road) to the parking lot of the Alpengasthof. (For free parking you can treat yourself to a bike drink after the tour)
Return: Follow the hiking trail right to the Heutalerhof and then continue left over the wooden bridge to the Alpengasthof.

Staubfall: Canyon Start
Approach: Before reaching the Alpengasthof Heutal (974m), follow the hiking signs towards Hochalm. Follow the asphalt road for 100m to the first junction (left). Then continue along the gravel road and over the bridge with barriers (tip: wet the ropes by the stream/bridge!). . After the huts and a few meters in altitude, there is a right-hand bend with a junction. Continue left here. After a short time there is another junction where you keep right. From here, follow the forest road to a clearing at 1230m where the road exits. From here, cross/descend the steep forest slope for approx. 100m in the direction of the white boundary stone (190/2). At the boundary stone, descend another 50m to the tree with sling (be careful: very steep!).
Tour: The canyon is only recommended for advanced canyoneers (small groups) due to the difficult ascent and descent. After you have mastered 3 dry abseils (50/40/40m), you stand below the spring that gushes out of the crevice. From here you follow the water. The first slippery steps are bypassed/descended right. Below the first large step is a sloping ledge/cross passage. Here you set up a pull-off rope handrail (25m) to the next belay. (Alternatively, you can skip the traverse and descend further into the forest and then set up a 35m rope traverse from a small tree with a sling to the belay). After the traverse, the route only continues vertically (25, 40, 30, 20.50m). The last (highest) 50m rappel over the hiking trail is directly in the water jet and should therefore not be underestimated (if necessary or in case of strong water flow, you can rappel onto the hiking trail). After the beautiful final waterfall, you climb right up the steep slope to the hiking trail at approx. 890m.

Canale della Trincea: Canyon Start
2025-06-25: All anchors good needs water, short canyon
Approach: From the parking lot, cross the bridge. After a few meters on the right there is a hiking sign with the inscription "Rifugio Corsi" 650-629. Follow this trail steeply uphill for about 20min until 1200m. Shortly after the trail flattens out, there is a prominent tributary. Here leave the trail to the right and descend over the tributary (scree) 40Hm to the 1st piton to the right.
Tour: The tour begins in a mostly dry tributary. Via several short abseils (single pitons) you reach the main stream. From here it becomes more aquatic. There is a 200m long part with walking and downclimb, followed by a 15m rappel. After another 200m long part with walking and downclimbing passages comes the last and highest rappel of 35m. Climbing down small steps, after about 100m you reach the bridge, where you get off to the left at about 1000m.

Gössgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the hiking trail on the orographic left side of the canyon. Here you have the opportunity to take a look or two into the canyon. At 980m, you climb left into the stream before the bridge. ! The actual amount of water in the canyon should be assessed at the bridge (entry), as the water is diverted before the bridge and fed back in after the exit!
Tour: Depending on the water passage, the difficulty of the canyon increases. The first steps are often conquered under the watchful eye of curious hikers. Several abseiling points follow without much distance, some of which can also be jumped or slid. In the canyon, there are always opportunities to avoid abseiling points or to find a safe place when the water rises. However, the canyon should not be underestimated. The last waterfall is the highest. Here you reach a tree on the right via a fixed traverese rope from which you can rappel 12m or jump into large pools. Exit right next to the viewing platform (870m).

Gössgraben: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the Tauernautobahn A10, take the Gmünd exit. After the traffic circle, follow the Maltatal Landestrasse L12 to the large Fallbach parking lot. At the exit of the parking lot, turn left and cross the small bridge over the Malta. After the Pension Jahn, keep right at the junction. You will soon reach the Gössgraben parking lot. Park here. There is no need for a shuttle car on this tour. (With a shuttle car, follow the road after Pension Jahn straight up to the bridge. Parking on the left after the bridge)
Return: From the viewing platform, follow the hiking trail down to the parking lot.

Gössgraben: Canyon End
Return: From the viewing platform, follow the hiking trail down to the parking lot.

2024-11-01: Climbed from above. All anchors ok, jumps possible in the lower part
Approach: From the parking lot (480m) next to the Jägerwirt, follow the hiking signs behind the inn, marked "zur Bruggrabenklamm" or "zur Eisenau" (trail 26). At the height of the statue of St. Mary, the water level can be checked at the exit at approx. 500m. Then follow the hiking trail orographically left next to the canyon for approx. 20 minutes up to the 1st entry point after the iron bridge that leads over the stream (approx. 610m). For the upper entry, follow the path over 2 wooden bridges and past the Magdalenenquelle (fountain). After a short time you will come to a signpost. Follow path 26 right towards Eisenau. After the wooden footbridge, the trail climbs again briefly to a small wooden bridge. This is the upper entry point (approx. 670m & approx. 40min)
Tour: Shortly after the upper entry at approx. 670m there is a small slide and a 10m abseil in the water course. This is followed by a downclimb and walking passages with a short narrow part. After a while there is another 10m abseil and then a 15m abseil in the water course. This is followed by several beautiful small pools, washouts and a walking passage to the iron bridge (lower entry). The 2nd section is often used commercially and is therefore well equipped. From the bridge there is another walk and downclimb before you reach the first larger step. Here you can usually descend using fixed ropes. Even at higher water levels, there are often opportunities to rappel outside the water flow, but the canyon should not be underestimated, as the narrow sections in particular can be very dangerous. The highlight towards the exit is a beautiful 20m waterfall. Here you have the option to rappel left in the water or right out of the water. The best way to reach the belay is via a traverese rope (anchors for the cable car are also available below!). Then you are in the middle of high gorge walls. A few smaller steps (and a 3m jump) follow until the exit at approx. 500m

Comment: Parkplatz
Access: From Sbg.-Süd take the Westautobahn to Mondsee. Follow the main road (Romantikstraße) in the direction of St. Gilgen. After the village of Scharfling, turn left towards Unterach. Through the tunnel and always along Mondsee (L217) to the next junction. Turn right here towards Unterach am Attersee (B151). After approx. 2km, turn right towards Burgau/Weißenbach am Attersee (B152). Follow the road alongside the Attersee to the former Jägerwirt inn (approx. 2.5 km). Get a parking space for €5 from the vending machine (= bottle of mineral water and parking ticket €5). If full or closed, follow the road and look for a parking space on the shore
Return: On the left side of the stream, follow the hiking trail to the parking lot.

Comment: 5 Euro für den ganzen Tag, über Nacht 15 Euro, Easy Park geht.
Access: From Torbole, take the "SS45bis" through Riva and Limone to "Prato della Fama". Here you park the shuttle car if you take the Johanna 2 (Vione 2) (parking possibilities next to the road or at the small harbor in front of the tunnel. €5,- day parking ticket)). With the 2nd car, continue through the long tunnel and turn right towards Tignale. From here, follow the mountain road for approx. 5 km, which then meets a bridge (exit Vione 1 or entry Vione 2). It is better to park your car in the direction of Piovere after the first hairpin bend at a turnout due to the risk of burglary. To walk the entire canyon (Vione 1+2), drive up towards Piovere as far as the 2nd hairpin bend. Here you follow the poorly asphalted road 252 (marked on the stone) right up to hiking trail 265 Tignale-Aer. Limited parking at the left bend at 460Hm.
Return: Arrived at the lake (65Hm)go back to the parking lot on the left.

Approach: At a parking bay approx. 150m below the road bridge, a trail leads into the streambed. You reach the canyon above a scree dam.
Tour: The first half of the tour is a forest gorge in layered limestone, with many walking passages and short abseils and is not yet very convincing. Only from the middle does the canyon become more continuous and worthwhile. Here, several abseils (some of them jumpable) follow one another without a long route. The highlight of the tour is the 50m rappel. This is best rappelled from the left. The right-hand belay is difficult to reach. This is followed by a short step and a walking passages before the stream flows into Lake Garda (65m). Bar at the bottom.

2025-06-30: Individual anchors in gradually precarious condition. 3mm Neo was sufficient
2025-04-19: The old tree sling at the last abseil point (R20 right) has been removed and replaced by a wing ring on the big rock next to it (R15 right).always a pleasure with sun and enough water.
2025-03-22: All stands ok, nice open south-facing tour
Access: From Salzburg Süd drive in the direction of Berchtesgaden. In the village of Marktschellenberg, follow the signs to Ettenberg for 4 km. Here begins the mountain road which also leads to the Hochthron via ferrata. After a few serpentine bends, you will pass a group of houses. Then the road leads slightly downhill to a single house on the right "Roßboden 4". Here there are only small parking spaces next to the hiking sign.
Return: 1st possibility (20min) Recommendation: Exit the canyon approx. 100m before a prominent 2nd tributary (at a large rock with a cairn) at approx. 620m to the right. Here through the short steep grassy area up to a well-trodden path, which leads relatively easily and quickly up to the forest road. Follow this forest road to the right (past the hunting lodge) up a short and steep climb to the parking lot. 2nd possibility (30min): Get off at the bridge at 580m and follow the forest road right to the signposts. Follow the forest road uphill towards Ettenberg to the parking lot. 3rd possibility: Walk the lower part of the "Rothmannbach" (see description Rothmannbach) which exits at the Königseeache.

2025-03-22: All stands ok, nice open south-facing tour
Approach: Behind the house, walk slightly downhill across the meadow towards the forest (do not follow the hiking signs!). At the exit of the meadow, a small path branches off to the left into the forest. Follow the path initially without any difference in altitude. Afterwards, the now poorly recognizable path leads left uphill to the edge of the forest. Once you reach the edge of the forest, you can already see some cascades from the stream. From here, follow an old, partly steep path alongside the canyon. The path is not always easy to see through the tall grass, but with a little sense of direction this should not be a problem. After several tributary crossings and a short climb at the end, you are almost in the stream at 860m (easy entry at 860m).
Tour: The tour begins at 850m with beautiful small pools and a sloping rock slab where a bolt is left. This is followed by a short walking and climbing passage. From the next 10m step it becomes more continuous. This is followed by several beautiful (max. 20m) abseils, some of which can also be downclimbed. You should be careful with the small slides and possible jumps, as the pools are often covered in gravel. The abseiling points in the canyon are usually no higher than 10m. However, individual narrow sections can be quite unpleasant at higher water levels. In the lower flat and open section of the gorge (after the 1st inflow from the right) there are longer walking and downclimbs interrupted by a few small steps/abseils. An unpleasant narrow cascade in the water can be bypassed on the right by rappelling from a tree (sling). Before another striking 2nd tributary on the right, you have the option of exiting the canyon (see exit) or following the stream to the bridge/forest road at 580m.

2025-05-29: Everything is ok. Attention: Access to the C67 rope got stuck in a block of water when pulling it off.
Approach: If you only have 1 car, you can also go up on foot via the hiking trail starting in the village in the direction of Madonna di Monte (approx. 1 hour). From the church (parking lot), follow the gravel road to the last house. Then look for a suitable place on the right to climb through the forest to the stream (700m).
Tour: The Bignasco is a beautiful open canyon. Despite the 2 high abseiling points of 70m and 85m, the canyon is very varied with several jumps and slides. Removable rope traverses are required to safely reach several exposed stands. Some slippery spots and sharp edges at the abseiling points require attention and rope-protecting techniques. The pools are usually deeply washed out and invite you to jump. After the approx. 70m abseil, the canyon becomes more continuous. This is followed by several shorter abseils, slides and jumps until the final waterfall at 85m. Beautiful views and curious glances from onlookers at the waterfall are guaranteed!

2025-07-12: Nice and slippery as always. Otherwise everything OK
Approach: Enter the stream directly from the parking lot.
Tour: The Rio dell'Ambruseit is fed by 2 larger and several smaller tributaries and therefore always has plenty of water. The water level is best judged at the first 5m step, at the entry. Here, the water should not walk more than 2/3 of the step width over the edge. After the first step, there is about 200m of boulder terrain to the next 25m and 40m falls. At the 40m waterfall, an intermediate stance can be right to avoid getting the full load of water. After that there are several small steps (max. 10m) which can be rappelled, downclimbed or jumped according to your own assessment. A striking feature is a 25m rappel that first leads into a deep pool and then continues down the rappel refreshed. This is followed by a longer walking passages over boulder terrain which is interrupted by a small step (8m rappel or 2m jump). At the next 30m rappel, you are back in the watercourse (alternatively, you can rappel from a tree here). Depending on the water level, the deep pool has a receding current. After this point, there is a longer walking passages over boulders before the canyon narrows. The last 4 steps of the narrower gorge section are quickly mastered (2x rappel, 1x jump, 1x downclimb). Now follow the course of the stream for about 45 minutes without much difficulty to the exit/shuttle car at 440m (alternative: see exit/return route).

Comment: Kiesbank an der Mündung des Rio dell' Ambruseit in den Chiarzo (cwiki)
Access: From Tolmezzo take the SS52b in the direction of Arta Terme/Austria. Approx. 4.5 km after the petrol station (near Tolmezzo) turn right towards Paularo into the Chiarzo valley (SP23). In the village of Piedim, cross the bridge over the Torrente Chiarzo on the right. Immediately after the bridge, turn left and follow the gravel road to Rio dell'Ambruseit. The shuttle car can be parked right next to the stream. Take the 2nd car back to the main road. Continue right upstream here. After a short distance, turn left towards Lovea. Follow the winding road towards Lovea. Shortly before the village of Lovea, turn left uphill (no driving sign). At the next junction, keep left again and follow the road to the stream (Rio dell'Ambruseit). Park directly in front of the stream (approx. 800m). Alternative where you save about 45min river walk but with 25min ascent: Do not park the car as described above, but drive straight to Lovea. Just before the village, turn left and continue uphill (no driving sign). After 4 hairpin bends there is a small turnoff and a small asphalt road on the right. Here you come to the small group of houses "Stavoli Nivuae". There is a paved parking lot (on the right) right next to the first houses, where the locals are not bothered. Park most of the cars here and return to the small road where you previously turned right with as few cars as possible. Continue uphill to the right until you reach the stream. Park here.
Return: 1st possibility (50 min): Stay in the canyon and hike out the streambed for approx. 50 min from the last rappel 2nd option (45 min): At approx. 550m, you will come across a large rock with blue care rope markings in the streambed on the right on the embankment (after approx. 20 min walking passages in the canyon after the last rappel). Up the embankment you can see an old ruin on the left. The path was newly equipped with blue markings on the trees in May 2022. First follow the streambed upstream for about 50m in the forest and then follow the blue markings steeply upwards. Then you come to a recognizable path which after about 25 minutes leads to the group of houses St. Nivuae where the shuttle cars should be parked beforehand.

Approach: (on foot: 20min) From the parking lot, walk a few meters until you see clear climbing tracks into the stream (1056m). Without a shuttle car, follow the mountain road to the "Stockalperweg" hiking trail, which crosses the road a few times. After about 20 minutes you reach the parking entry.
Tour: The continuously watery canyon offers slides, jumps and rappels into pools, some of which are very deep. The water level and water depth should always be checked beforehand! Some pools recede when the water level rises. The abseiling sections, especially in the lower part (key section), also become very dangerous. The canyon remains very entertaining until the end, but should never be underestimated. One of the highlights in the lower part is a huge rock arch under which you can swim (possible jumps). Before the final waterfall, you can decide whether to leave or continue downclimbing (C40+ downclimb).

Return: You can get out of the canyon at about 920m before the last waterfall on the left via a small path. This leads to the road and shortly back to the parking lot. 2nd option: You can rappel about 40m over the last waterfall and climb the rest right over stone slabs to the confluence of the Doveria at 850m. Then get off to the parking lot on the left.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road to the foot of the mighty dam (1270m). You could start right at the bridge or save yourself the first part (boulder terrain) and follow the hiking trail in the direction of "Bitsch" (orographic left). Leave the path at the point where you reach the beautiful wooden hut. Here you go straight down across the meadow towards the stream. The entry becomes steeper shortly before the stream. (1200m)
Tour: The Massa Gorge is more of a hiking and swim canyon than a rappel canyon. Nevertheless, the canyon offers beautiful rappels in wonderfully green/bluish pools. The countless downclimbs (some over fixed ropes) never get boring as you have to find your way through crevices and holes. One of the highlights is the rappel (approx. 25m) into the so-called cathedral (left or right belay - exposed) followed by a narrow crevice with steps and a large pool, after which you approach the possible exit. However, there is also the option of exiting the canyon on the right after the last block area at a water drainage and reaching the road via a footbridge/hiking trail.

Return: If you're not sure, look up. Here a line leads across the canyon. This 1st exit option requires some easy climbing up to a meadow. Then along the electricity pylons to the small wooden huts. Further up from the huts, you will soon reach a road. Here, either follow the road or the hiking trail signs to the village of Hegdorn. In the small village with the beautiful wooden houses, keep right until you reach the shuttle car or the bus stop. (30-40min). The bus runs every hour (7.04, 7.27, 8.27, 9.27, etc. and costs CHF 3.60).

Isorno (inferiore) - Tessin: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, walk into the small village towards the church. Pass the church on the left and follow the signs for L00 Centrale Cippata. However, the electricity pylons are the best guide, which you follow to the right until you reach the edge of the forest. At a small chapel, a hiking trail (L02 Ponte del Diavolo/ Centrale Cippata) becomes visible which now leads steeply downhill. Follow the path until you reach clearly visible neon yellow markings on the left side of the path (before the bridge!). From here, follow the neon yellow markings that appear at regular intervals and lead without the use of ropes, past an old stone house, into the canyon at 610m (at the end, descend approx. 20m via fixed ropes and stirrups). (If you take the path to the bridge, you can alternatively rappel from a tree sling on the orographic right side below the stone bridge - approx. 40m).
Tour: The Isorno inferiore is a highly recommended gneiss gorge with several high possible jumps in deep pools. Those who prefer to rappel can do so using well-placed bolts and glued anchors. For rope retrival outside the pools, 40m ropes are ideal. Once you have overcome the slippery walkways and downclimbs in the upper part of the inferior section, it gets really nice. From the 3rd rappel, the canyon becomes continuous. The rock faces in the lower part, beautifully shaped by the water, are worth the descent alone. At the end, the canyon bends to the right and exits in front of a dam at 500m. There are large iron pins to climb up on the left side of the dam (not on the right at the water drainage!!!). Then it is best to rappel from a large iron ring on the left over the wall for 10m.

Access: 1st possibility with shuttle car: From Salzburg Süd drive towards Berchtesgaden. After the village of Marktschellenberg there is a long straight. At the exit of the straight there is a turn-off over a small bridge (Königseeache) to Kugelmühle/Almbach where you can park your shuttle car. Take the 2nd car back to the village of Marktschellenberg. Turn left at the church (crossroads) and continue along the mountain road towards Ettenberg. 50m after the large hiking parking lot (Neuhäusel), turn right. There are 2 wooden huts on the right (otherwise there is a large parking lot). 2nd possibility: See exit/return route. (From the parking exit, follow the hiking signs "Ettenberg via Talgrabenweg". From here continue left up to the road. Then turn left back to the parking entry.
Return: Depending on where you parked your car, you can either follow the path next to the Almbachklamm gorge downhill to the parking lot (transfer sign) at the Kugelmühle. Or you can follow the path only briefly to the hiking signs "Ettenberg via Talgrabenweg". From here, continue left up to the road. Then turn left back to the parking entry. Tip: On the way back to the Kugelmühle, there are a few beautiful pools at the exit of the Almbachklamm gorge that invite you to jump when the water is at the right level/depth. From the hiking trail in the Almbachklamm you can see bolts and stands all the way to the exit of the gorge.

Sulzer Wasserfall: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot at the 2 wooden huts, follow the forest road (no driving sign) right over a small bridge. Immediately after the bridge, turn left and walk downhill next to the stream until you reach another junction with a wooden hut. Turn left again here and continue downhill to a weekend house. Do not cross the private property here but enter the stream beforehand (approx. 750m).
Tour: Immediately after the house comes the 1st 15m abseil. The canyon quickly narrows. After a few steps, the next 4 abseiling points follow, all of which are directly in the water. At higher water levels, the steps can quickly become problematic! The belay after the 3rd rappel (C5) in particular is left exposed behind the rock face and should only be reached using a rope belay. From here you already have a beautiful view of the Almbach. After the 4th abseil (approx. 15m) it becomes more open again. This is followed by an approx. 40m rappel to the chain anchor. The 2 subsequent 40m and 35m steps can be divided as desired. After the last abseil point you are almost at the hiking trail from the Almbach at approx. 600m.

2024-08-20: Approach path is beautiful, in fact, more interesting than the canyon... Some simple rapppels at the beginning and at the end, high point is the 48m (this time dry) and the following airy 28m cascades...
Approach: From the bridge/parking lot, follow the hiking sign (wooden sign) "Cascata do Arado" (orographic left). Shortly you will reach the viewpoint at 750m where you can check the water level before continuing up. The path is marked with stone markers and leads through a beautiful mountain landscape. After a few meters of altitude you cross a tributary (left) of the Arado river and shortly after you come to a fork in the road. On a hill you can already see the big 45m waterfall. Continue in a right turn between the Arado and the left tributary until you reach another hill with a view of the enchanting Arado high valley. Keeping left, one descends shortly to the path at 930m (entry) (if one does not want to do the waterfall, one descends before to the path).
Tour: The canyon begins with a walking passages and small downclimb in open terrain. This is followed by 3 shorter rappel sections where the last rappel, before the big waterfall, can be jumped. The high waterfall (45m) is rappelled on the right with little water contact. Immediately after follows an exposed belay on the right side. The fixed traverese rope is not normally needed. To make the descent easier for others, because of a narrow spot (danger of entrapment), the first person can set up a rope line (drill hooks available at the bottom). Now follows a long walking and descending section with some possible jumps. A higher sloping step in the middle of the canyon can be rappelled left or bypassed right. Shortly after, there is a pool with several possible jumps (beware of the stone in the pool!). An aquatic cascade of 3 steps follows, which are also the last steps. In order to get to the first rappel of the cascade, you have to rappel in front of the huge granite block under which you swim (stand on the right). After the beautiful cascade there is another walking and descending section that leads shortly to the bridge/exit (here begins the Arado inferiore).

Access: From the dam bridge (Rio Cavado) Geres you drive in the direction of Vila do Geres/ Espanha. After about 6 km, turn right in the direction of Ermida. From here, follow the mountain road in the direction of Ermida. Continue until you reach a fork in the road with signs for "Cascata do Arado". After turning right, the asphalt road changes to a gravel road with holes that goes down to the Arado. Directly at the bridge there are several parking possibilities.
Return: Directly at the bridge get off on the left and walk up to the car (700m).

Approach: From the parking lot at approx. 430m, follow the path left of the road to the pipeline, which is already visible on the approach. Be careful not to take the path along the ridge here, but always climb along the pipeline (some thorn bushes). A little further up you will come to a fence. Follow the path, which is still clearly visible at the beginning, slightly uphill. Gradually, the path/trail becomes less and less recognizable. Cross the slope with little difference in altitude until you reach a ridge. Here you descend briefly (old wooden paths). Continue along the path until you reach a beautiful rocky viewpoint at approx. 550m. From the viewpoint, descend again along the rock face until the 60m waterfall becomes visible. You can choose to enter above or below the waterfall. (To enter above, look for a suitable path above the rock fence waterfall.) The last meters to the lower entry are downclimbed or rappelled on a small step at approx. 500m, 10m (bolts available).
Tour: The tour starts above or below the 60m waterfall, depending on the entry option. You can jump left and right into the beautiful large pools. This is followed by a small step that is rappelled from the left. Then comes a short walking and abseiling section. The next step is either jumped 12m (deep pool) or rappelled left. This is followed by another walking and abseiling section that exits at the last step before the inflow of er. Here you can first rappel left 5m on a ledge and then jump another 5m. From the tributary it is another 40 minutes of walking and downclimbing in an open canyon, interrupted by a 5-10m jump in the middle. Follow the stream past a ruin to the large stone wall where you are left out of the canyon.

Approach: From the parking lot below, follow the forest road over the bridge and continue steeply uphill. After a few meters you come to another wooden bridge (middle section) that crosses the Rio Pricot. From here, continue steeply uphill until you reach a detached house. Here you enter the stream right at approx. 910m without difficulty. If you park at the hikers' parking lot "above", follow the hiking trail to meet the forest road (other access) after about 15 minutes. From here you will soon reach the entry point
Tour: The canyon begins with slippery downclimbs and 4 smaller steps between 10-15m . The fourth rappel can usually be downclimbed and slid (rocks in the middle of the gorge!!!). For the next 20m step there are abseiling options to the left and right. This is followed by a 15m rappel, a short walking passages and a 3m jump before the wooden bridge (access path). At the bridge, you can comfortably get on and off (middle of the gorge). The second part of the tour begins with a longer downclimb over slippery slabs of rock and boulder climbing. After the rock pile there is another short sloping rock slab. Downclimb right here or set up a rope belay over any tree for safety. This is followed by a downclimb over rocks before continuing with the 4 beautiful steps. The first of the steps is rappelled 15m left. Then comes a 5m rappel on the right. The best way to get to the last 15m step is with a pull-off rope traverse. This is set up from the belay station above a small step. The tour exits after the 15m waterfall at approx. 720m.

Access: From Tarvisio, take the main road or the highway to Pontebba. In Pontebba, continue through the village in the direction of Studena Bassa (note: NOT Studena alta!) or Passo del Cason di Lanza. The road leads along the Torrente Pontebbana. The first rather bad parking possibility is on the right side of the road before the bridge where the first access point begins. It seems more practical to drive about 1 km further and use the large parking lot for hikers (same as at Pricotic). The alternative access also branches off from there (a little quicker)
Return: Follow the stream to the junction (Torrente Pontebbana) and turn left or right depending on the parking lot. If you choose the parking lot for hikers, walk up the Torrente Pontebbana for about 50m until a path on the left leads to the road. Follow this for about 5-10 minutes.

2025-06-08: All good, stands good
Approach: (15min. from the picnic parking lot) Before the tour, check the water level at the last waterfall near the picnic area (5 min.). Follow the mountain road with the wooden sign Val Tovanella on the orographic right side of the gorge. Further up, cross the stream over a concrete bridge with a view into the canyon. Then you cross 2 more wooden bridges before you reach a suitable spot (broken wooden railing). Enter the stream here before the iron debris barrier you have already seen. Entry at approx. 570m.
Tour: After slipping through at the debris barrier, you initially follow an open canyon with small downclimbs and abseils up to approx. 5m. The canyon narrows visibly as you progress. There is generally no need for artificial light, but some parts are very dark and exciting if you are not yet familiar with the canyon. From the middle, the canyon becomes really interesting. After a small jump into a dark pool, you come to a rope traverse high up on the right side with a place to stand, from which you then rappel about 15m into a small grotto. This is followed by a short, narrow walking passage before you reach the railroad bridge. (With a great deal of skill, you could reach/use the railroad bridge ladder for an emergency exit). The next 20m abseil is partly completed in the water and the rope retrival takes place in the pool. This is followed by a small 2m step (stand left) that leads to the last 12m waterfall. Here the canyon opens up again. The pool varies in depth, so a jump should be well considered!!! The canyon exits after the last rappel at approx. 500m.

Beautiful washouts and the turquoise-blue water in the pools are a feast for the eyes. The small steps and drop-offs in the gorge can normally be jumped or downclimbed (several possible jumps). However, single bolts are available on some steps. As soon as you really get going, the tour exits again. At the point where the canyon opens up, you can see an iron ladder leading out of the stream on the orographic left side (sharp-edged at the top!).

2024-07-26: With the upper part a wonderful canyoning tour
Approach: From the parking lot you cross the Torrente Cordevale and go south. It is relatively obvious where to go into the woods on the other side of the river, because in front of it there are high slopes that you can not climb. At the first opportunity where the embankment is lower, you go into the forest (during our walk 14.8.2023 there was also a cairn at the embankment). In the forest you will find an obvious path that is also marked with red markings. Follow the path southwards until you reach the exit of Val Fogare (after about 15 minutes from the parking lot). Cross the Fogare and after about 20m go up the slope and meet the trail that from now on goes uphill. After about 330m at 480m, instead of following the path that goes straight on, take a hairpin bend and continue along the path that goes steeply uphill from here on. During the ascent, you will come across a stone manderl, a wall with iron railings and a trail marker. After several meters of altitude, it suddenly becomes flatter. Here you have a beautiful view into the valley and the canyon. For the further flat path above the canyon, it is better to wear a helmet. The partly heavily damaged railing says more than a thousand words. From here about 20min. without difficulty follow the path to the stream / entry at about 640m (ticks do not forget ;-) )
Tour: The Fogare inferiore is certainly one of the most beautiful and varied canyons in the national park. Without a long stretch of path, there are several steps that can either be rappelled or jumped. A few narrow sections, a grotto in the middle of the gorge and the shimmering green water in the pools will make your canyoning heart beat faster. The belays are no longer the newest but are still usable and well positioned. Due to the catchment area of only 4.2Km², you normally have no problems rappelling in the water. The canyon should not be underestimated due to its narrow sections! After the last incised passage, there is a small open wall in the stream. Then the last few meters are downclimbed. Exit at approx. 460m below the water channel. Val Fogarè is located in the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti where canyoning is prohibited. The A.I.C. management has been negotiating with the national park administration for some time.

Opposite is the house of the Comando Statione Forestale "C. se Candaten". From here continue for 1.2km until you reach a forest road on the left by a dilapidated house. Here you enter the forest until you reach Torrente Cordevale (here are also nice places to sleep, which are a bit secluded). This parking lot is much better than the "old" one at the picnic area, because it is relatively shielded.
Return: At the exit or. left again up the path and return to the parking lot.

Approach: From the parking lot directly at the hiking signpost 657 ("Birio Sant", "Sella Grubia"), follow the path orographic to the right of the stream. At the wooden plaque with the depicted bird, the hiking trail leads upwards. Follow this for approx. 140m until an inconspicuous path branches off to the right (marked path goes to the left. On the right is a dry streambed). Follow the path next to the gorge until you reach a gravel slope (2 red dots). Then follow/descend the steep gravel slope over red dots to the streambed. Entry at approx. 670m.
Tour: The access is not easy and rather long in relation to the tour. Nevertheless, the Rio Ronc is a worthwhile canyon. Especially those who like to slide and jump will get their money's worth. After a short section of walking, the first 2 abseiling points are reached; 3m and 20m. The 20m step is also the highest point. Most of the following steps can be slid or jumped, depending on the water level. Between the steps, there are always short walking passages with beautiful washouts. The tour exits at the access path at approx. 600m.

Comment: Parkmöglichkeit direkt an der Bachmündung (cwiki)
Access: The village of Resuitta lies between Chiusaforte and Carnia. From here you drive into the beautiful Resia Valley. Follow the road signposted "Stolvizza" and "Coritis". After the village of Stolvizza, the road first leads downhill. You cross the T. Resia (follow the signs for "Coritis"). The road then climbs up some narrow hairpin bends to a chapel. From here, the road leads slightly downhill again. After approx. 2.2 km from the chapel, you cross two small road bridges (R. Slatina and T. Resia) in quick succession. Immediately after the second bridge, follow the forest road left downhill for 400m to the very back of the trail (Caution! You cross 2 stream crossings and therefore need some ground clearance). At the end (after the 2nd crossing) the forest road bends to the right. You can either park your car here or follow the forest road uphill for approx. 100m and park your car directly at the hiking trail signpost 657 (entry/exit parking lot). (P.s. It is 9km from the sign at the end of Resiutta to Stolvizza and 4.4km from Stolvizza to the two small bridges).
Return: Climb out of the stream to the right onto the access path and shortly back to the parking lot.

Rio Lomming: Canyon Start
Approach: From the hiking parking lot ("Pusti Gost/Belvedere"), follow the signs to "Pusti Gost/Belvedere". First you walk briefly on the road which then exits at the picnic area with small wooden huts. Continue up the path over the small wooden bridge on the left. You will pass 3 concrete water houses. At the third water house (blue arrows), you can join the stream for the lower part. For the upper entry, follow the path for about 20-25 minutes further up, past the small Jesus cross to the wooden bridge at about 920m. P.s. If you want to check the water level at the last rappel before the ascent, follow the hiking trail at the pizzeria parking lot (wooden sign) "Ta Lipa Pot" for approx. 5-10min.
Tour: The first abseiling sections start directly at the wooden bridge at approx. 920m. The steps vary between 5 and 25m. As the stream usually only carries a little water, the abseiling sections, almost all of which lead through the stream, should not pose a problem. The first nicer part (approx. 10 rappels) to the middle entry/exit (left) is more continuous than the second. In the second part there are again approx. 10 abseils (up to max. 35m) interspersed with walking and downclimbs. Towards the bottom, the canyon narrows shortly before you reach the last and most beautiful open cascade. Here you first rappel 15m to an intermediate stand and then another 35m in the water (Caution! Exit from the first pool to the intermediate belay is difficult without fixed ropes besser before the pool, rappel to the right to the intermediate belay). The cascade can also be bypassed right. After the last abseiling point, you are almost at the hiking trail at approx. 600m.

Access: The village of Resuitta lies between Chiusaforte and Carnia. From here you drive into the beautiful Resia Valley. Follow the road signposted "Stolvizza" (P.s. It is 9 km from the sign at the end of Resuitta to Stolvizza). In Stolvizza you can either park directly at the parking lot for hikers (wooden sign "Ta Lipa Pot") next to the pizzeria or follow the road for another 50m and park at the parking lot for hikers (Pusti Gost/ Belvedere) on the left.
Return: Follow the "Ta Lipa Pot" hiking trail on the left, which soon leads back to the hiking parking lot in the village.

Return: Follow the "Ta Lipa Pot" hiking trail on the left, which soon leads back to the hiking parking lot in the village.

Kreuzgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: From the Eggeralm parking lot, climb over the wooden fence next to the forest. Then walk across the meadow up to the fort road (Kranischer Höhenweg 403). Follow the forest road (right) slightly uphill. After a while, the forest road crosses a small stream (Rinserl). Next to it is a green forest road gate). After the iron gate, it is approx. 200m to a prominent left-hand bend (at a forest clearing). Leave the forest path here and head towards the small visible wooden hut. The descent is steep and pathless, straight over the forest ridge to the flat streambed with an old wooden hut at 1390m.
Tour: In our opinion, the Kreuzgraben is one of the most beautiful limestone canyoning tours in Carinthia, if it weren't for the many wooden obstructions. The tour starts at the old crumbling wooden hut at 1390m. If you already have the feeling that the stream is carrying too much water here, you should not go any further as the amount of water increases due to inflows and it can become dangerous at the narrow sections. At the beginning of the tour, you descend and downclimb in open terrain. This is followed by a short walking passage followed by another descent in the water. After a small abseil from single bolts and a tree, there are two approaches (left/right) into the stream. After approx. 150m walking passages before the gorge at the latest, the amount of water should be correctly assessed (an exit is still possible before the gorge). It gets really beautiful from the narrow section onwards. This is followed by several short abseiling sections, most of which are in the water flow. The only annoying thing are the logs / obstructions that you come across again and again along the rest of the route. Despite the small catchment area of approx. 2.5 km², the obstructions pose a great danger if the water suddenly rises. At the exit of the first gorge, there is an invisible abseiling point ("Z-passage"). Here you first rappel to the right of the jam for approx. 15m. The next bolt is high up on the right-hand side, in the hollow. (Caution! The rope can very easily get caught in the crevice during rope retrival). This is followed by a short, more open downclimb and walking passages. Halfway down the canyon you come to the highest abseil point, approx. 45m. The rappel can also be divided into 30m and 10m (Caution! The intermediate section is located far to the right outside the water flow after a slippery ledge). After a short distance and a 5m step comes the second highest (approx. 30m) and most aquatic rappel. After the following 25m and 15m rappel, the canyon opens up briefly. This is followed by a short downclimb over boulder terrain (first boulder field). Then come the last two abseils where it gets narrower again. Once you have conquered the last steps, after approx. 50m of walking terrain you come to a second boulder field at approx. 1100m. Here you exit the canyon on the right (blue/yellow arrow on the rock). For those who want to tackle the lower part: 4 equipped abseiling points, a 6m slide and 1000 trees

Kreuzgraben: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: Eggeralm Parkplatz
Access: From Salzburg Süd via the A10 (Tauernautobahn) in the direction of Italy. Either exit at Feistritz and take the main road towards Hermagor or via Villach and the Gailtal main road to Hermagor. Immediately after Hermagor through Kühwegboden to Möderndorf. From the Klammwirt (Garnitzenklamm), follow the mountain road to the first large parking lot for hikers (Eggeralm) (approx. 20 min. from Hermagor). Tip: With two cars....see exit/return route.
Return: The blue/yellow arrow on the rock marks the exit, which first leads over the steep boulder field. After a few meters in altitude, turn left onto the forest ridge (yellow markers). In the forest, follow the small stream on the orographic left until you reach a visible forest road with a hunter's stand. First option: Climb up the forest road (left) to the asphalt road and follow this for approx. 15-20 minutes to the Eggeralm parking lot. To save yourself the 15-20 minute return journey on the upper part of the asphalt road, a second car can be parked in front of the forest road at the turnout (large beech tree with yellow cross). Second option: Continue up through the forest to the right towards the second hunter's stand visible on the rock face. Below the rock face, first cross to the left and then continue uphill to a forest road. Once you reach the forest road, climb up a small open ridge to the left for the last time to hairpin bend 14 (1365m). After approx. 200m of asphalt road, you are back at the starting point (Eggeralm parking lot).

Approach: (with 2nd car: 1h15min) Once you have parked in the paid parking lot in front of the school sports field, follow the path past the school towards the already visible canyon. After crossing the first bridge, there is a hiking sign "Planinarska transverzala Orjen-Lovćen-Rumija". Past the pump house and stone bridge, follow the beautiful hiking trail in several serpentines up to a stone house at approx. 220 m. At the following serpentine bend with markings, you could choose the path visible on the ridge for the lower entry. To do this, leave the main path here on the left in the direction of the electricity pylons. If you want to enter further up, follow the main path further up. (A little tip: after approx. 400m, just before a rusty electricity pylon, there is a small fork with an H2O sign on the left-hand side of the path. Here you can get drinking water after approx. 20m in the small stone wall tunnel). After the last hairpin bends, you have a wonderful view of the Bay of Kotor and the surrounding mountains from the ridge. From here it becomes flatter. First follow the signs for "Krstac" and "Lovćen". At the next fork in the path, turn left through the forest to the wall from the KuK period and the entry point at the stream at approx. 580m.
Tour: The Škurda has over 30 abseiling points, whereby the first third (approx. 1 hour) is mostly waterless. In this part there is also the highest abseil of 40m. At the beginning there are 3 beautiful abseils and a long downclimb. After a small cascade, the canyon becomes more incised and continuous. Here a tributary enters the canyon from the right, bringing most of the water. Several abseils (max. 35m) follow without much distance until you reach the beautiful, incised lower section of the gorge (be careful! after the 35m +10m abseil, there is an entry/exit point marked "EXIT" on the rock on the left). A removable rope traverse can be set up to the last abseiling point of approx. 20m. Then downclimb/descend the last few meters of the canyon to the exit at approx. 10m.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the forest road back briefly and continue downhill to the stream. From here, follow the path/stream to the left. After crossing the stream several times, you will come to an old overgrown mill house at approx. 350m. This is also the entry point.
Tour: The Bogutovski Potok is a beautiful canyon rich in vegetation with mostly shorter abseils. The first part is still open. A few steps can be downclimbed or bypassed here. After the first higher, approx. 25m abseil, you can already see into a deep canyon. This is where the most beautiful part of the canyoning tour begins. Several short abseiling points with small possible jumps lead through the gorge, which is partly decorated with sintering. Shortly before the bridge at approx. 170m, you can leave the canyon to the left or opt for the last and highest approx. 30m rappel in the watercourse below the bridge. The last rappel exits in the Morača at approx. 120m.

2024-08-12: Cold water, large guided groups - slowly - on the way
Approach: At the signposted Nevidio parking lot, follow the path over the first wooden bridge from the left tributary Grabovica (vertical canyoning tour). After a short while, there is a second wooden bridge over the Nevidio. Then follow the path on the right-hand side of the stream until you reach the plaque with the historic first ascent in 1965. This is also the entry point to the canyon, where the guide charges a local fee for commercially guided tours.
Tour: The canyon begins with a longer walking passage interrupted by smaller downclimbs and pools. After a while, you come to a narrow section (swimming channel) of about 100m with clamping blocks. Here you first downclimb skillfully to the right and then swim. Shortly after the swimming passage, there is a blockage with a way through between the rocks + a small jump. Then comes a small narrow section with swimming passages, followed by a walking and climbing section. At the next large blockage, you search in vain for an anchor. Here you have to skillfully downclimb over the remains of the bridge and boulders. From here, the canyon becomes more interesting. Several steps with possible jumps into beautiful deep pools follow without much distance. The 20m ropes can normally be dispensed with. After the last 5m possible jump into large pools, the canyon opens up. The tour exits at approx. 740m (EXIT on the rock face).

Return: At the point where you can read "Exit" on the rock face, climb out of the canyon on the right at approx. 740m. Follow the marked path steeply upwards through the forest. After some time/meters you come to an open area with a beautiful view of the mountains and a deep view into the canyon. From here, the path is not far from the asphalt road, which you follow until just before the bridge. Before the road bridge, turn left down to the stream. Now follow the access path next to the stream back to the parking entry.

Approach: From the parking lot by the barrier, descend via the gravel path, directly into the stream.
Tour: The Torrente Toscolano is, except for the small rappels (max. 15m) that are in the impressive deep cut part of the canyon, a hiking canyon with some downclimbs. The canyon begins unspectacularly, hiking and abseiling you pass a water drainage and shortly after another water obstruction (possibly also entry possibility here). After about 15min. and a small block terrain, the canyon narrows. Now follows the most beautiful part. Several small steps lead into the canyon, which becomes narrower and more beautiful. At almost all steps there are two places to stand. Some places can also be downclimbed or jumped after control. In order to get the most beautiful impression, the tour should be done in good weather and before noon (light incidence) with some water flowing through. In case of bad weather, the canyon should not be visited, because the narrowest part is just 50cm wide and a sudden rise of water would be life-threatening! In addition, in the upper reaches there is a large reservoir ("Lago di Valvestino") with automatic weir. At the end of the gorge (at the water intakes) there are still beautiful sinterings before the canyon opens. After the boulder field it is best to stay in the streambed as it is not worth to exit via the old path next to the canyon. After about 20min. you reach the exit from the stream at the house "Campo Scout" at about 150m.

Access: From Torbole take the "SS45" through Riva and along the western shore to the village of Toscolano Maderno. In Toscolano turn right towards Gaino. To park the shuttle car, do not turn right (up) to Gaino, but follow the narrow asphalt/gravel road marked "Riserva di Pesca". The road leads to the Valle de Cartiere where you park the first car in front of the no driving sign at the large parking lot. With the second car, go back to the fork and then turn left up to Gaino. Before entering the village, follow the white signs for Gaino, first to the right and then to the left. The narrow main road leads directly into the village. Here turn right (very narrow passage, max 2.10m), then immediately left again towards "Rif. Pirlo"/"San Lorenzo". Then follow the main road, which is still asphalted at the beginning, next to the canyon for about 5 km until you reach a power station with a green fence. Parking is possible in front of the barrier (on the left). Note: The tour can also be done by car. For this, however, you still have to explore the exit path (but we found the variant via the historic path more rewarding).
Return: From the house ("Campo Scout")follow the forest road or the trail next to the stream, through the paper mill valley (1870s). If you want you can stop at the bar "Al Museo" before going to the second car at the lower parking lot. (Attention! Fish farm in the lower stream, so it is better to take the hiking trail).

Parking is possible in front of the barrier (on the left). Note: The tour can also be done by car. For this, however, you still have to explore the exit path (but we found the variant via the historic path more rewarding).
Return: From the house ("Campo Scout")follow the forest road or the trail next to the stream, through the paper mill valley (1870s). If you want you can stop at the bar "Al Museo" before going to the second car at the lower parking lot. (Attention! Fish farm in the lower stream, so it is better to take the hiking trail).

Toscolano: Parking at Exit1
Comment: Parkmöglichkeit bei Strasse zu Wehr (cwiki)
Access: From Torbole take the "SS45" through Riva and along the western shore to the village of Toscolano Maderno. In Toscolano turn right towards Gaino. To park the shuttle car, do not turn right (up) to Gaino, but follow the narrow asphalt/gravel road marked "Riserva di Pesca". The road leads to the Valle de Cartiere where you park the first car in front of the no driving sign at the large parking lot. With the second car, go back to the fork and then turn left up to Gaino. Before entering the village, follow the white signs for Gaino, first to the right and then to the left. The narrow main road leads directly into the village. Here turn right (very narrow passage, max 2.10m), then immediately left again towards "Rif. Pirlo"/"San Lorenzo".

Approach: From the parking lot, cross the bridge and immediately after the bridge follow hiking trail 370 to the left. The hiking trail first climbs steeply up the slope, becomes flatter further up and runs parallel to the canyon. Follow the path without any forks until you can enter the canyon directly on the left after approx. 45 minutes - 1 hour at 1300m.
Tour: Once you reach the entry point at 1300m, a relatively long and unspectacular walk and downclimb awaits you, which is interrupted every now and then by small abseils. After a small slide, you come to the highest rappel of the tour at approx. 45m. Please note that this is located directly in the water and should be done with caution when the water level is high. The rope retrival is also difficult - make sure that the rope is properly guided. Up to the 45m rappel, the tour is extremely unspectacular, but after that it is sensational. The canyon becomes increasingly incised with several successive rappels. If the water level at the top is already causing problems in any way, you should abort the tour before the 45m rappel. This is followed by another 18m rappel and walking terrain in the narrow canyon before you have the opportunity to get up left via an emergency exit. This is followed by the really sensationally deep and dark part of the canyon with several abseils. This part totally makes up for the first few hundred meters of walking and downclimbs. Until the exit, there are a few rappels (max. 10m) in the deep canyon. Beware, some of these are directly in the water flow, this part makes the heart of every canyoneer beat faster After the narrow part of the canyon, there are 3 more abseils before you reach the parking lot after crossing the stream. Although there is not much to expect at the top, the tour continuously increases in attractiveness and is highly recommended. The time of the ascent is relatively unimportant, as there is little sunlight at the bottom anyway - just as it should be.

Access: From Belluno head north on the SS51 to Longarone; leave the SS51 here on the right in the direction of Pordenone/Erto; cross the bridge and then take the SR251 road up the mountain; drive through Erto - over the Zemola (possibility to combine the two canyons) - and follow the SR251 past Cimolais; 4km after Cimolais there is a junction in the direction of Claut - leave the SR251; after approx. After approx. 3km you come to the entrance to the village of "Claut", here you turn left before the village sign in the direction of Val Settimana or the "Tree Village" campsite. After approx. 100m you come to a ticket machine where you have to buy a ticket for the valley (please note that there are checks and fines). From the ticket machine, drive 10km along the road, which becomes a gravel track in places, until you reach the bridge marked "Pont del Ciarter". There is a parking lot on the right before the bridge where you can leave your car. From Claut into the Val Settimana, up to the bridge Ponte del Chiarter 867m.\nPartly asphalt / gravel road.
Return: After the tour, cross the stream and walk upstream for about 5 minutes before you reach the parking lot.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road for approx. 100m until you see the hiking sign on the left with the inscription "Piscine naturali 0,10". Follow the hiking trail for about 5 minutes until you reach the stream.
Tour: The Pitrisconi is a beautiful open and varied granite gorge. If the water level is suitable, some places can be jumped, but the depth of the water should always be checked as the color of the water often makes the depth appear deceptive. There are always short walking and downclimbs between the steps. The highest abseiling points are relatively at the beginning of the tour and are well equipped. Once you reach the last rappel, you can abseil halfway down and then jump into the last large pool. After the pool, there is a short walking passage that leads to the hiking trail on the orographic left (exit).

Approach: From the parking lot/turnaround a little uphill on the right, past the fenced property with a striking round building with a wooden roof. Descend here to the Cordula Orbisi stream, which you reach shortly (750m).
Tour: Once in the dry streambed, follow it for about 10 minutes without any great difference in altitude until you reach the first abseiling point of about 4m (hourglass on the right). Info: On the way to the first descent point, you pass the small entrance hole of the Grotta Donini. From here the canyon narrows. There are 2 more rappels in pools before the overhanging 35m rappel. A removable rope traverse should be set up to reach the belay safely. Here you will often be watched by curious tourists descending over the ridge into the canyon (possible emergency exit on the left). After a short open walking passages/block terrain, there is a step that is downclimbed. Here the canyon narrows again. Then comes a short step, followed by two 20m abseils. Between the abseils, you have to climb up from a crevasse using a helpful fixed rope with foot slings (not easy). After this point there is a short swimming passage that leads into the dark part of the canyon (grotto), in the grotto (darkness) there is a short swimming passage and two abseiling points of 11m and 17m. Alternative: According to the topographic view, you can bypass the grotto with 2 abseiling points (12 and 35m) (not used). You will soon have daylight again and stand in front of a large rock hole from which you can rappel the last 17m into the open. After this point, you can exit immediately to the left over the steep rocks at approx. 540m (you save yourself the last rather unspectacular steps and ascent time). A little tip: if you climb over the rocks on the right, first a little up and then down, you will be at the exit/final waterfall of Grotta Donini.

Return: From the 540m point, turn left up steep, easy-to-climb rocks (cairn markings). Follow the gravel field reached after a short time to the right, slightly uphill (cairn) to the open ridge. Then follow the ridge and the path, which is now becoming increasingly visible, uphill. After about 20 minutes you reach the gravel road which you follow past a fountain/watering trough to the starting point/parking lot.

Access: From Arbatax take the SS125 north (Olbia) to the town of Lozzorei; after the Esso gas station turn left onto the SP56 (Via Milano); follow the road for a long time; at the fork turn right towards Urzulei; follow the main road (SP37) for about 15 km, drive through Urzulei, up the mountain to Urzulei and then turn left onto the SS125 towards Dorgali. Now follow the mountain road until you reach the rock face that can be seen from afar (there is a prominent building on the right) - Turn left here. Follow the asphalt road for about 1 km (under the prominent rock wall around the mountain), then the road becomes an off-road track for 21 km (you are on a plateau) - from here it is about 40 min. (to the parking entry). At the first fork keep right and at the fork with signs (sprayed writing) keep left. After the fork, the road goes down, after two prominent bends, you will cross a crossing )dried streambed). After the crossing, follow the main course of the road through the wooded area (passing a house with a sign "Grotta Donini/Orbisi" ) for a long time until the exit of the paved road where there is a turnaround area with 2 trees in the middle. Park here (780m). From Dorgali take the SS125 in the direction of Passo Genna Siliana. After the mountain pass continue for a few kilometers until, after several rockfall galleries, an asphalt road branches off to the right. Follow this road under rocky walls until you reach a plateau. Here keep right and drive north on a sand road. The road is just passable with normal vehicles - but the bottom plate should not be too deep. A destroyed bridge has to be bypassed in the streambed. After a few kilometers you will see a fenced off building on the right - Campos Bargios. Continue straight on for about 2km until you see an information board on the right about caves in the streambed of Codula Orbisi - parking for several cars. \nMan can also continue down until , if you are not afraid of the steepness of the paved road. Where the pavement then stops, large area to park the car - 2.5 km from Campos Bargios(782m above sea level).
Return: After the last pool, turn left over the small rocky ridge to the exit of the Cordula Orbisi. From the point left up over steep, easily climbable rock (marked cairn). Here the gravel field reached after a short time, follow right, slightly ascending (cairn) to the open ridge. Then continue to follow the ridge and the now increasingly visible path uphill. After about 20min you reach the gravel road that you follow past a fountain / watering hole to the starting point / parking lot.

Approach: From the car park/turning point, go uphill a little on the right, past the fenced-in property with a striking round building with a wooden roof. Descend to the Cordula Orbisi stream, which you will reach shortly (750m). In the streambed, after about 5 minutes, look out on the right for the small entry hole (1x 1m) (during our climb under a fallen tree) (hourglass + 2 Inox glued anchors). For the upper parking lot: follow the path marked with cairns and secured with ropes until you reach the dry streambed, then descend for about 15min in the streambed. After a wider passage, the streambed narrows somewhat - the very inconspicuous cave entrance is located on the orographic right side of the stream about 2m above the streambed below a large tree.\nFor the lower parking lot: Up the hollow in an easterly direction (left hand a sheepfold with the typ. On the left hand side a sheepfold with the typical dwelling of the shepherds, a kind of "Tiki" made of wood - Sedda Ar Baccas) and arrived at the top, follow the clear tracks beyond down into the streambed. Follow the creek for about 100m downhill to the left (about 5 min.), then you will reach the entrance to the cave described above.
Tour: After the narrow, dry rappel into the cave (7m) DO NOT follow the red rope, but turn right through the small passage to the next dry 10m rappel. Now it is important not to lose your nerve but to follow the passage on the right, which first rises slightly and then quickly leads down into the narrow/low water channel. Now you come across some beautiful sinter pools. After a short time you can stand upright again. You come to a larger break where there is a fixed rope on the right. Use it until you reach the rappel anchors from where you rappel about 17m. (Note: It is possible to follow the fixed ropes further and visit the upper part of the cave - we did not go there). Rope descent in the pool. Once in the pool, there is a longer swimming passage (to the left). After that there are several pools and swimming passages interrupted by walking and downclimb passages (be careful, partly slippery). At the next break you have the possibility to build a removable rappel, with which you can get to the Inoxstand of the approx. 8m rappel. Note: Possibly also jumpable. Rope descent in the pool. After the pool (right) comes a hall with block chaos and downclimb. Shortly the grotto narrows and you are faced with another short drop of about 10m with beautiful washed out round pools. Once in the pool, you continue through a rock window (hole) into the cave. A few more swimming spots follow until you see daylight again. Here (at the exit of the cave) you meet two nice rappel points, once 3m jump not advisable -, followed by the highest rappel of the tour 50m in nice deep pools. Before the 50m abseil there is a fixed rope for ascent with ascenders, which we did not use. Last but not least, one ropes left from a tree about 15m into the last elongated pool before the tour ends at about 550m.

Approach: Directly from the parking lot, at the bridge at 777m or. descend right into the stream.
Tour: The uppermost part of the canyon is very discontinuous, you overcome 3 abseils of 25m/5m/4m, each interrupted by walking and downclimbs in blocked railings. Several car wrecks along the upper slopes of the gorge are reminiscent of either poor driving skills or southern disposal methods. The belays at the higher abseiling points in the canyon can be reached easily and safely via a removable rope traverse. From the point where the granite turns pink, the canyon narrows. Here the canyon also becomes more continuous, more attractive and technically more demanding. This is followed by several abseils in the water flow. Particularly worth mentioning is the key section with 2 narrow, short successive chutes interrupted by a small step, which can become unpleasant/dangerous at higher water flow rates. At the 2nd chute (approx. 26m), the ropes can easily get stuck when pulling off. For better rope retrival, there is a tab with a ring on the left half of the chute (pull-off in the deep pool). After the 2 chutes, the route becomes less spectacular. There are several short abseils (max. 15m) and downclimbs before the canyon opens up more and more. From here, follow the stream to the left without losing much height until you reach the left tributary "Baccu Troccosuloai". You can see large boulders in the streambed. Exit left at approx. 380m. (!Here you could continue the tour to walk the 2nd part of the canyon + approx. 3 hours canyon and one hour walk to parking lot 2 at Donte Coa'e Serra; 2nd car necessary with 14km transfer via the village of Talana).

Bau Vigo (intermedio): Canyon Start
2017-05-07: Photos of our tour: https://www.christian-balla.de/BauVigo
Approach: To get to the entry point of the tour, walk along the gravel road back out to the SP27 and follow it for about 6 minutes to the bridge that crosses the Bau Figu. Descend through the gardens or directly from the bridge or left.
Tour: Directly after the bridge there is a short walk and downclimb to the first 20m rappel. This is also the most difficult of the tour because you rappel directly in the water and overhanging into a deep pool. The section is also very slippery. There is the possibility of setting up a ropeway, glued anchors on the edge of the gully or left. The next 4 shorter abseils are not long in coming, max. 10m. The last of the short rappels can cause difficulties during rope retrival (clamping block). A short walk and downclimb follows before you have a beautiful view of the valley (reservoir). Here you are already at the final cascade. First abseil 20m to the belay station of the 45m rappel, followed by the highest rappel at 53m. There is enough space between the 45m and 53m rappels to stand unsecured. The water is spread over a large area across the broad rocky ridge. After the high cascade, it is not worth continuing the tour, as there is only a long river walk and a 20m rappel to come.

Bau Vigo (intermedio): Parking at Entry
2017-05-07: Photos of our tour: https://www.christian-balla.de/BauVigo
Access: From Arbatax head west on the SS198; after 2.1km turn right onto the SP27; after approx. 15 minutes (13.8km) you will see a gravel road on the right with a cross (motorcycle accident) in front of it and a wooden sign with the name "Cascata Sothai". Turn right here and follow the gravel road for approx. 200m until you reach a house. Park here.
Return: Directly after the high final abseil or to the right, follow the clearly visible hiking trail along the wooden railing steeply uphill to the parking lot.

Approach: Enter the stream directly from the parking lot at 820m.
Tour: Riu Sarcerei is a varied, beautiful but discontinuous slate gorge with mostly short abseils. The short abseils are almost all in the water flow and should not be underestimated at higher water levels. The highest rappel of 55m goes over a sloping rock slab, which can be partially downclimbed, so 60m ropes are not absolutely necessary (assuming skillful downclimbing). Several steps can be bypassed or downclimbed and some pools invite you to jump. Towards the exit of the tour, the canyon becomes more incised. This is also where you have the most possible jumps. After the narrower part, the canyon opens up and you can walk the last 200m or so ortographic left along a path next to the stream. The Riu Sarcerei flows into the Riu Pardu here is also the exit at 550m.

Return: Follow the path over the Riu Sarcerei (the "Domu de Jamas" hiking sign on the right). Be careful not to follow the hiking signs to the right here, but go straight ahead to a stream of the Riu Pardu. Cross it and you will soon come to another signpost with the inscription "Forestedda - Su caminu de is paras. 0,35". Follow the clearly visible path to the right and then the forest road to the parking lot/shuttle car.

Rio Terra Rossa (superiore): Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot at the small group of houses, hiking trail 602 leads slightly above the road up into the forest. Follow the path past a material ropeway support and a ruin with hiking markings to the rock face. Here a metal footbridge leads over an exposed section. Then you come to a fork. Follow the steep main path on the left for a long time. Once you reach the highest point at 1560m "Clap Forat", the path turns right into open terrain with beautiful views of the Kanaltal valley and Slovenia. The path now descends steeply towards the clearly visible opposite peak "Cuel Formian" and soon meets path 602A (marked on the tree) coming from the left. At the point where paths 602 and 602A meet ("Forc Mingigos"), the route descends, first keeping right then left, down a steep, wide forest/leafy ground chute into the stream. The entry point of the tour is at approx. 1300m where two small, mostly dry branches of the stream meet.
Tour: After the not quite easy, conditionally vorderenden access you stand in the mostly dry karstic stream. The alpine canyon has several rappelling points up to max. 37m. The canyon is very continuous, except for a part where you have to descend for about 15 minutes. As you walk down, several small tributaries enter the creek, bringing a little more water to the lower part (3mm neoprene is usually sufficient). The canyon is certainly most rewarding after rains or when other tours are not possible. However, because of the remoteness and the many rappelling points, the tour should not be underestimated. There is the possibility to get out on the right at about 830m, where the lower part of the Terra Rossa begins (about 30min to the parking entry "Ciout Pupin"). However, it is recommended to do the lower part right away (+ approx. 1,5-2h). In general, the Terra Rossa is superiore + inferiore. An alpine full day tour with beautiful parts and mostly little water.

Rio Terra Rossa (superiore): Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Tarvisio, you can either take the SS13 (Canal Valley federal road) to the village of Dogna or take the highway (Pontebba exit) + a few km. federal road. In Dogna follow the signs/road over the Fella towards the Dogna Valley. Immediately after the bridge over the Fella there is a large gravel parking place on the right. Here you follow the road further into the valley through the small tunnel to the village of Roncheschin. At the bridge with a small hydroelectric powerhouse that leads over the Rio Terra Rossa, you can check the water level (if the water comes over the entire width of the last artificial step, it is not advisable to go there). After the check, turn right (before the sign "Chiutdipupe") and drive to the group of houses near Torrente Dognas, where you leave the first car. With the second car, go back towards Dogna and turn right just before the bridge over the Fell. After 3-4 houses turn right again towards "Chiout Pupin". Follow the steep asphalted mountain road until the exit (because of the deep water channels you need some ground clearance). At the exit of the road at Chiout Pupin there is limited parking (take care of locals!).(Vehicle transfer about 3Km).
Return: On the path orographically get off to the right and follow the path. At the fork, go downhill towards Chiout Pupin where the car is.

2024-08-30: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Ferro Dc-. Bien équipé, peu d’eau. Tranquillou, canyon assez court avec une belle vue. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/cany...
2024-08-29: Beautiful canyon, well equipped, currently low water flow.
Approach: From the turnaround parking lot in front of the Ferro, you can already see the last cascades. Follow the cobbled road back a short distance to the small bridge that crosses the Ferro (check the water level; if the water is walking across the entire width of the bridge/steps, there is usually too much water for the second narrow section in the canyon! Possibly go around to the right or don't get in at all). From the bridge, follow the path on the orographic right side of the stream up through the forest. After approx. 35 minutes at approx. 1300m you are very close to the stream. Do not continue up the path to the left but cross briefly to the right to the stream. The entrance is below the material ropeway ropes and boulder terrain.
Tour: The very open and south-facing granite gorge impresses with its beautiful mountain scenery and higher, smoothly polished abseils in crystal-clear mountain water. Due to the large and high-altitude catchment area, the Ferro is often only possible in the fall. There are two key points/constrictions in the canyon that can become unpleasant/dangerous at higher water levels. The first narrow section is only short but in a cascade with deep pools in the middle that can create a strong current. At the second narrow section, the water level must be right, otherwise it can quickly become dicey. If you are not 100% sure, it is better to climb up to a tree (with a sling) on the right. From this you can then rappel outside the water to another tree. From the second tree, rope down a sloping ledge to the last belay (see topographic view). Once you reach the last approx. 45m rappel, you will often be observed by climbers who have a climbing route here on the left.

2024-08-29: Beautiful canyon, well equipped, currently low water flow.
Return: After the last approx. 45m rappel, you leave the stream at approx. 1100m on the right-hand side. From here, follow the familiar hiking trail that leads down to the Schuttlebus parking lot.

Armisa: Canyon Start

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road directly to the small church in the village of Arigna. Pass the church on the left and behind the house with the number 1 follow the path keeping left down to the stream at approx. 720m.
Tour: The Armisa is an aquatic, discontinuous and vegetation-rich gneiss gorge with many slippery spots. Walking in the sediment-rich stream means that the water quickly becomes cloudy. At the beginning of the tour there are some wooden obstructions that have to be negotiated skillfully. Several small steps and drop-offs can ideally be jumped (always check the water depth!). There are also bolts (mostly single bolts) on the most important steps. Although the abseiling points are not high, some abseiling points are directly in the water and should not be underestimated. The greatest difficulty, however, is certainly moving over the slippery rock and some hidden rocks in the pool. There are several exit points on the orographic left side that lead directly up to the hiking trail. After the bridge that crosses the canyon, you should exit after a 15m abseil on the left, followed by a short walking passage over a sloping ledge on the right, as the rest of the route (three abseils with walking passages) is not very rewarding. If you do decide to descend further, you should park a shuttle car further down at Bruga.

Comment: am Holzplatz
Approach: (on foot: 15min) Option 1 (15min): From the parking lot at the lake, walk up to Claino in 10 minutes or park at the cemetery in Claino. From there, walk 5 minutes through the village to the Lavaio (wash house). Shortly before, a path secured with wire ropes leads under the railing into the streambed. Variant 2 (5min): If you want to walk along the Lirone from higher up, walk from the gravel road/parking lot next to the timber company (see approach) in the direction of the stream. You will soon come to the stone bridge that crosses the Lirone. Cross the bridge and after a few meters you will come to another small bridge. Turn left here, before the bridge, and follow the steep path past an old ruin down into the stream (approx. 450m).
Tour: The Lirone is a short watery canyon cut deep into the limestone rock with beautiful rock formations, washouts and narrow sections. The entry at the top at the timber company is certainly a little easier (+30min time required) but with three small steps and unattractive, partly blocked walking terrain, it is not recommended. From or below the Claino road bridge, the route becomes really steep and interesting. There are several abseils (max. 16m) in the water, which can often be slid or jumped. The pools are usually washed out to a depth and should not be underestimated due to the water flow. After the last abseiling point, there is an approx. 80m long swimming passage that leads out of the narrow canyon into the wide open streambed that you follow to the bridge/parking lot or lake. Exit at approx. 280m.

Access: From Domaso, drive next to Lake Como on the SS340 first in a southerly direction (village of Menaggio) Attention! Do NOT turn into Menaggio, but between the tunnels, do not miss the exit to the west towards Porlezza (Lago di Lugano) (no GPS signal). After some time you will reach the village of Porlezza. Here you turn left from the main road onto the SP14 in the direction of Osteno/Claino. After about 6 km of lake road you reach the small village of Osteno. Here you park the car at the large parking exit between the stream and the sports field (= parking exit). For the most interesting lower part of the gorge (variant 1) you don't need a shuttle car, because you can reach the entry by a footpath in about 15 minutes. Alternatively: Schuttle parking lot near the cemetery of Claino or take the bus! For option 2 you need a shuttle car or bus. Drive up the mountain road (SP14) from the village of Claino for about 900m until you see a timber company with a timber yard on the left. Here you park the car on the left on the gravel road/parking lot (the road leads directly to the entry).
Return: After the bridge, at about 280m, exit the shallow streambed to the right over the streambed wall directly to the parking lot or continue to Lago di Como and exit left at the beach.

Hydrology: Large catchment area! Water level...see photo. 2 washers: Beginner, 1 washer: sporty, above really challenging but not unreasonable. Attention: As the measuring point is 4-5m wide, 1cm more level means a significantly higher water flow behind the confluence!!! Special mention should be made of an inflow from the "Intelvi" valley, which triples the amount of water before the last three abseiling points

Approach: From the parking lot near the church, first follow the paved mountain road "Via S. Benedetto" steeply uphill. After about 20min. there is a fork with a yellow arrow on the left. Here you leave the mountain road and follow the path/trail marked yellow on trees and rocks to the left above the canyon. After about 15min. the path leads to an abseil point attached to the tree into the stream.
Tour: The Perlana inferiore is a discontinuous lime canyon rich in vegetation and mostly open, with several short rappels or possible jumps and slides. Between the steps, especially in the upper part, there are always shorter walking and downclimbing steps (some with small creeks). A beautiful 12m slide in deep pools and a small dark grotto with sintering in the middle of the canyon are the highlights of Perlana. Unfortunately, the grotto was completely clogged at the top at the actual rappelling point into the grotto during our ascent. However, a visit from below was possible. The canyon is also used commercially and is very popular due to the south/east orientation and several jumps and slides. There are several escape/entry points in the canyon. Normally, you get off to the right before the bridge, because after the bridge there are three rather uninteresting rappelling points (16m, 14m, 18m).

2024-06-25: All existing anchors OK, some could be added. Partly clogged. Overall a longer and beautiful tour.
2023-10-14: Relatively little water. Tom has added a few hooks. Everything tip top
Approach: From the large hiking parking lot at Almgasthof Baumschlagerreith (724m), follow the hiking signs "Stoderer Dolomitensteig" next to the stable, initially on the slightly ascending forest road to the signs "Wanderweg" in the hairpin bends. From here you leave the forest road. Follow the path over a steep embankment next to the ditch, which you cross after a short while. After the crossing there is a hiking sign with time indications (Hochsteinalm 1h15min and Lögerhütte 1h30min + Stoderer Dolomitensteig) and shortly afterwards the forest road exits. The steep ascent then begins in serpentines up through the beech forest. Once you reach the first saddle, you have already completed half of the ascent to the alpine pasture. With a beautiful view of the valley and the surrounding mountains, the trail continues up to the alpine meadow in front of the Hochsteinalm (1296m) and on to the Lögerhütte (1370m), which is already visible. Keeping left from the Lögerhütte, the actual Dolomite path begins, which in the following part leads over an increasingly narrow, steep path with little difference in altitude along steep rock faces and small water channels to the rope safety device and Schwarzgraben. Follow the rope protection in the Schwarzgraben to the point where the hiking trail crosses the stream. Entry at 1370m.
Tour: The Schwarzgraben is a long beautiful alpine rappel canyon with about 40 mostly short rappels. The glued anchors are not always immediately visible due to their gray color, but they are well placed. One should not be fooled by the mostly low water passage, as the rappelling points can change considerably due to wood and gravel accumulations during high water. In the upper part, the canyon is rather open except for a short (two rappels) narrower passage. After a high 48m + small 4m rappel point and a few smaller steps that can be descended, comes a cut canyon section with initially large wooden entanglements (be careful with the rope retrival!). More small steps with some wood follow. Shortly before an hourglass as rappel anchorage it becomes more open again. Six short rappels and two walking and downclimb passages follow. After the second walking and rappeling section it remains cut for a longer time (nine rappels up to max. 20m). Before the last four abseils (5m/20m/10m/65m) the canyon opens with a view into the valley. The last rappel point can also be divided (exposed chain anchor on the right below pools after 25m). After the last high rappel, follow the streambed for about 20min over some downclimbs to the streambed and weir at the fort road (possibly rappel 5m over tree before streambed). Exit at approx. 780m at the small weir.

Ochsenschlucht (unterer Teil): Canyon Start
Approach: You simply follow the path downhill. The initially very wide path becomes narrower and narrower and becomes more and more a hunter's path that leads directly into the canyons. However, the footprints are clearly recognizable. Ascent on foot from the lower parking lot about 90 min. Follow the gravel bed up to a weir with water drainage, then left up to an asphalt road with no driving. Follow this road uphill. At a fork, take the road on the right. After you have passed a farm, take a gravel road uphill over meadows into the woods to another crossroads. Here you climb to the right until you reach the ridge to the Ochsenschlucht. Here an overgrown forest road leads to the right, first with two hairpin bends, then with a long, falling crossing into the Ochsenschlucht. At a streambed you can descend into the canyon (possibly you can also enter further up).
Tour: Once you have reached the streambed, you follow it for about 150m before you come to the first rappel. The tour is in no way to be underestimated, as it carries quite a bit of water. During the tour there is practically no chance to get off. If the water level is critical at the first rappel, it is recommended to turn back! Also, the weather situation must be closely observed during the ascent, as the catchment area of the Ochsenschlucht is very large! If the water level is ok and the first rappel has been completed, the really sensational part of the canyon follows after a short walking terrain. Abseil point follows abseil point, through partly very turbulent and deep pools. The canyon was set up during the inspection on 2.6.2019 in the course of an advanced training of the Carinthian canyon guides so that virtually all dangerous pools can be bypassed with cable cars. However, it is recommended, especially for the person who will be the first to rappel and set up any ropeways, that they have white water experience. In some places in the canyons, there are also pitons for setting up rope traverses leading to the rappelling point. The canyon is not impressive for its high rappel, but for its aquatic!

Ochsenschlucht (unterer Teil): Parking at Exit
Access: Approach: Exit the A10 at the Spital junction in the direction of Lienz on the B100. Follow the B100 for 34km (approx. 30 min) until you reach Berg an der Drau. At the train station Berg turn left and cross the bridge over the river Drau. Here you stay on the road for about 2,5km until you reach the cycling station "Sandhof". Here you continue on the road for about 150m, crossing the stream of the Ochsenschlucht (Feistritz), before on the left - directly after the stream - the parking lot appears (picnic area). Here you can park the vehicles with the dry things. In general, the parking lot should be used to park the majority of cars there. At the upper parking lot the number of parking spaces is limited (2 cars). At the lower parking lot the equipment can already be prepared. Also the wetsuit can be put on already here (access from the upper parking lot about 15min through sloping terrain. IMPORTANT: Before entering the canyons you have to ask for permission (best the day before). For this call Mario Duller from Ares Canyoning (+43 676 844425280; office@bikeschule.at). Mario has leased the canyon and knows the farmer over whose land the private access road goes! To get to the upper parking lot, head back in the direction of the Sandhof bike station. Directly at the Sandhof the road leads uphill on the right. After about 500m, a gravel road leads downhill to the right, blocked by a large tree trunk. Get off here and walk to the weir of the stream for water control. It is useless to check the water level at the lower parking lot of the stream, because the water is diverted at the weir! A reference photo of the water level of our walk can be found below, this is the "normal water level", which can be challenging at one point or another. If the water level is ok, you drive the road for about 3km uphill. After some serpentines in the forest you come out at an alp where you keep to the right. You drive again briefly into the forest before you come out again at the mountain pasture and you drive directly past the farm and a red deer enclosure. The asphalt road turns into a gravel road that leads further up the slope. Enter the forest again, keep to the right at the turn-offs, rather after 500m you arrive at the upper parking lot (the path to the canyon goes directly from the gravel road downhill to the right).
Return: At about 700Hm you have then completed the last rappel. This is followed by about 30 minutes of walking passages and block hopping in a sensational scenic backdrop through a gorge! When the canyon opens up more and more, you come to the weir, where you have previously checked the water level. Here leads or. right a way down, which one follows for further approx. 5 min. You come out directly at the parking lot where the cars were parked.

Arzino (inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: From the bridge over the Arzino you can go directly to the streambed of the Arzino river. If you want to go the canyon from the top, you go over the bridge and then go upstream for about 10min. But there is only one 5m jump and some downclimb. The topographic view here shows the Arzino from the bridge.
Tour: Tour description: about 2,5h The Arzino is a relatively long river that drains a very large area, into which some accessible canyons flow and which finally flows into the Tagliamento. The Arzino is also navigated by kayak and is divided into parts 1-4. This part of the river was named "Arzino 0" by the first climbers, because it is located above the kayak part 1 (see Canyoning Wiki). Arzino 0 can really only be climbed after a long dry season, because it has a lot of water even in dry summers! The closest gauge station of the Arzino to the canyoning route is called "Arzino, S.Francesco Idro". During our ascent the level was 79cm and at this level the ascent was no problem. The Arzino 0 should only be climbed by people who have both white water experience (because of the extremely turbulent pools and currents), and are very safe when rappeling, because you have to be really careful not to get into the water, because the water flow is enormous and you can not withstand the water pressure! Directly after the bridge at the entry follows a small walking passages of about 100m, before it becomes narrower and you are in front of a slot with strong current and white water. Here is an anchor on the or. right side, which you should also use to safely rope the 2m into the current. Immediately thereafter follows the first challenging place: or. left are 3 pitons to build a rope traverse to be able to rappel the 10 m from the last piton. If you already have problems at this point or see that there is too much water to continue the canyon, you can get out after swimming through the pool. Next is a 5-meter jump into a turbulent deep pool, followed by a swim section and a 5-meter rappel section that also opens into a turbulent pool. After a short swim, the canyon opens again and you come to a place with 3 small conifers and a dry tributary or.left on which you can see a bridge of SP1 above. Here is the next possibility for the emergency exit. One of the trees was used and described by the first climbers for rappeling into the extremely turbulent channel. However, this spot seemed too dangerous and so during our ascent or. left. 3 pitons were drilled to set up a rope traverse, so that the channel can be bypassed and rappel directly into the turbulent pool. Those who like to jump can rappel only 5m and jump from the ledge 5m into the pool. ATTENTION, however, in the pool: Directly after the pool follows the next abseil point or. left, which you must first reach! The current here is quite strong! If there were already problems with the current before, the person who ropes into the pool must be secured from above in order not to be washed over the step and to be able to reach the belay safely. Current + partly slippery place! Once you have reached the stand, another 10m rappel and a swim section follows. After a small walking passage follows the impressive highlight of the canyon: a 28m rappel or. left from a tree - but be careful! From above you can't see directly where the rope ends and whether you pass next to the waterfall or not. During our ascent it was no problem, but if the first person to rappel realizes that you can't pass the waterfall, you have to stop the rappel immediately and climb up! The waterfall creates an incredible pressure here and should you get into the water, you have real problems. You have the possibility to stop the tour at the walking passages before the 28m rappel. If you can rappel past the waterfall, you will find yourself at the most impressive spot of the tour where you can experience the pure power of the water up close. There follows a small swimming spot and a 40-minute river walk before you see or. left the gravel field of the Riu Rugoni and you arrive here directly at the bridge at the parking lot of the shuttle car.

Immediately after the 2nd hairpin bend (50m) a forest road leaves to the right and leads to the bridge over the Arzino. Either drive down here and park the car directly at the bridge or drive about 100m further and park at the parking lot directly at the SP1. At the bridge is also the entry to the tour. The shuttle car is parked about 1.3 km further down the SP1, directly after crossing the bridge of the Rio Rugoni. The Rio Rugoni is unmissable because it is a huge gravel field that flows into the Arzino.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the Tagliamento riverbed upstream for about 15 min. On the or. right side appears a clearly recognizable wooded island where the Rio Negro flows into the Tagliamento. At the exit of this island, right at the mouth of the Rio Negro, path 328 (red and white markings) begins. One follows the path uphill. During our walk (2019) you arrive after about 5 min at a hunter's hut or ruins, where many trees block the way due to wind breakage. Here it is best to keep to the right or go straight uphill directly at the hunter's hut. Then the markings of the path 328 appear again, which leads another 40 min uphill until you meet the Rio Negro. The entry is directly at the confluence of the Rio Naiarda with the Rio Negro.
Tour: The Rio Negro is a beautiful, quite aquatic canyon with some smaller rappels, jumps and swimming passages. Unfortunately, it is always somewhat discontinuous with some walking and downclimbs. The stands are only single hooks or rappels from trees, some of which are a bit older. This means that you should take your emergency kit and rope remnants or slings with you, as the canyon is not often climbed. The first half in particular is a rather average hiking and swim canyon with beautiful passages and crystal-clear pools as well as beautiful geological layer formations with a few smaller rappels. Here you would also always have options to get out of the canyon in an emergency. However, the Rio Negro becomes really interesting from the gorge onwards, which begins with an 18m rappel from a tree on the right. If you already have problems with the water pressure in the first half or if members of the group are already feeling chilly, you should definitely leave the canyon at a suitable point before the gorge! At a small jump, a little before the 18m rappel, the water pressure doubles and the water becomes ice cold, as an underground spring flows into this pool. Gloves and good neoprene are therefore important. The 18m rappel leads directly into a turbulent pool with white water and return flow in the gorge, where you should try not to get into the return flow (correct rappel length! and use the diverter!). Directly after the pool, the canyon narrows to about one meter and you can swim into a large cave-like pool. The gorge is really beautiful, as the characteristics of the canyon change within a very short time from an open gorge to a deep, dark and watery canyon. After the gorge, there are some longer swims and downclimbs, which can be quite strenuous for inexperienced canyoneers due to the temperature of the Rio Negro. After about 2.5 hours, the shallow streambed of the Rio Negro flows into the Tagliamento and you are back at the start of hiking trail 328.

Access: From Tolmezzo, take the SS52; at the large oval traffic circle near Tolmezzo, leave the traffic circle in the direction of Ampezzo (heading west - NOT in the direction of Arta Terme). From the exit of the traffic circle stay on the SS52 for 16 km. Immediately after the bridge over the Torrente Lumiei, turn left towards "Tramonti" - onto the SR552. Stay on this road for 7 km - first uphill via hairpin bends, then downhill again - before you come to an unmissable dam in the Tagliamento and the bridge over the Taglimento. Cross the Tagliamento and continue for about 600m until a forest road branches off to the right. Stay on the forest road for approx. 2.5km until you reach the no-entry sign. Park here.

Approach: (on foot: 1.5h) From the hunting lodge (Schwandhütte), follow the path to the right into the forest at the hairpin bends. A few meters uphill until you reach the saddle and at the saddle turn left uphill. After a few meters, the path is already clearly visible. Climb up the increasingly steep ridge that runs parallel to the canyon. After some time and a few meters in altitude in the sparse forest, there is a crossing over an exposed area, followed by a wide ditch. After the ditch, the path leads briefly uphill again to the next steep ditch with fixed ropes (old dilapidated Holzleiter are no longer usable). Once you have passed the second ditch, it is only a few meters through the mountain pine slope to the entry at 1150m below the mountain basin (mountain pines cut and rope safety devices renewed May 2020).
Tour: Once in the rugged streambed, the first small steps (pools) immediately follow, which can be skillfully downclimbed and bypassed on the right. You will soon reach the first and highest 42m rappel (bolts on the left). After the highest rappel, the route continues without much distance. This is followed by several aquatic rappels up to a maximum of 25m in a slightly incised gorge environment. There are no deep pools, but the water pressure at some abseils should not be underestimated. To avoid a heavy shower, you can alternatively rappel to the left via two bolts outside the water at one of the last rappels, more precisely at the 25m rappel. The last two short abseils are already in the open gorge. Then downclimb/descend a short distance until you reach the large boulder field below the rock face at around 900m. The possible exit for the upper part or the entry for the lower part of the canyon is located here on the right. It is of course recommended to do the lower part at the same time (time required + approx. 2-2.5h with max. 35m).

Access: From Lienz drive in the direction of Silian (on the B100). At road kilometer 113 you turn left and drive over a bridge. After the bridge turn left and after a few meters you will find a parking lot on the right (here you can either park a shuttle car or walk up). From the barrier at the parking lot, follow the asphalt mountain road for about 1.5 km (road closed from 01.11-30.04). Then turn right on the forest road until you reach a haipin bend with a hunting lodge. Here you park the second car.
Return: If you don't want to walk the lower part of the canyon, you have the option of exiting the canyon at the boulder field on the right.

Ochsenschlucht (oberer Teil): Canyon Start
Approach: Access right inlet (red tour on topographic view): 30min Follow the forest road for about 30 min before the road leads directly over the right inlet. Attention, there is about 5min before the entry still a large inflow (which is led under the forest road). This is not yet the entry but this comes only 5min later. Access to the left inlet (blue tour on topographic view): 1.5h If you don't want to transfer the vehicles and the long walking passages of the right tributary, you can choose the very pleasant access to the left tributary. To get to the left tributary, go directly from the lower parking lot or left uphill along the hiking trail/forest road 233. Unfortunately, the forest road is not passable, because it is forbidden (otherwise you could go directly to the entry). Stay on the path 233 (do not follow the forest road to the right at the barrier, but stay on the left side of the path 233 next to the barrier) before you reach a large slab at about 1100m. Then you go about 900m slightly uphill before at 1150Hm a gravel field leads towards the canyons. The access over the gravel field to the canyon is relatively easy to recognize, as this is the first way to enter the canyon. See topographic view for overview map. It is recommended to put on the canyoning equipment before the entry into the gravel field. Climb down the gravel field before arriving at the streambed of the left tributary.
Tour: Tour description right inflow to confluence: approx. 1.75h The right tributary is characterized by a very nice open canyon with a few rappels inside, which are not difficult. There are several tributaries in the right tributary of the Ochsenschlucht. The right inlet consists of relatively long walking and downclimbing passages, but is quite beautiful due to the beautiful scenic and the clear water, which gradually becomes more and more. Only in the last 500m of the right tributary, before the left tributary is added, the canyon cuts more and more narrow. Tour description left tributary to confluence: about 0.5h If you want to avoid the long walking passages in the open terrain of the right tributary and arrive at the first interesting part of the upper part of the Ochsenschlucht, you should choose the left tributary. We first climbed and drilled the left access in May 2020. The left access begins with a short rappel from a tree, which can also be bypassed on the right through the forest. Then you have about only 400m walking and hiking distance before the canyon cuts noticeably and you come to a small cascade. The first 3 m can still be downclimbed or carefully slid, before you come to a bolthook on the right. You rope into the 2nd pool and can slide down the last 3m steps. Then comes the right inflow to it and one stands directly before the interesting first place of the upper inflow. Tour description from the confluence to the beginning of the lower part: approx. 1,5h The confluence of the right and left tributaries is the first very beautiful, but technically demanding place. Due to the confluence the water volume doubles at once and one has to get into a deeper, turbulent pool and rappel ortographic left. The rappel leads through a turbulent pool, rather you have to rappel directly in the water. It is advisable to set up a closed circuit at this point, because the water pressure is quite high. Immediately after, another cascade follows, which begins at a chain anchor or. right. After that you have to cross the stream with quite strong current before you find a bolthook or. left at the rocky ledge. After these 2 highlights follows a relatively long walking, hiking and partly swimming passages in a canyon with impressive geology. The further you go down the Ochsenschlucht, the more springs and tributaries flow into the Ochsenschlucht, which makes it an aquatic canyon in the lower part. Therefore, certain places in the upper part of the canyon are not to be underestimated (baffle wall, currents). However, compared to the lower part, the water problems are manageable. Towards the exit of the upper part of the canyon, it narrows again and you have to rappel into more turbulent pools or cross them. At altitude 850 m, a boulder field enters the canyon on the right. If there have already been problems with the water until then, you should get out here. This boulder field also marks the beginning of the lower part of the Ochsenschlucht (see separate description). Of course, the lower part of the Ochsenschlucht is certainly the highlight in terms of canyoning. However, if you do the Ochsenschlucht, you should do the upper part as well. There are indeed longer walking and downclimb passages, but geologically and scenically the upper part is definitely worth it. Especially the place at the confluence of the left and right tributaries is very beautiful and also technically challenging canyoning.

If you don't want to walk the lower part of the canyon, you first have to walk up the boulder field at 850m or right before you come out at the forest road after about 15 - 20 min. If you have not parked your car here, you will have to walk 45 min - 1 h to the lower parking lot or 30 min to 45 min before you reach the barrier where you have to park your car for the upper part

Approach: Follow the asphalt road into the valley for another 400m until you come to a forest path on the right in the direction of Weißenbach. Turn off there and cross the Weißenbach after approx. 300m. Follow the forest road and go down towards Weißenbach as soon as you can so that you reach the streambed (do not go all the way to the exit where you meet the upper Weißenbach!) You walk in the streambed for about 500m, then you pass a barely visible foundation of a whitewater barrier (described in Canyon Wiki) before a small stream with a waterfall cascade flows in on the left. From the parking lot it takes about 15-20 minutes to get here. If you want to check the water, stay in the streambed for about 200m and come to the final waterfall. Otherwise, head up the slope to the left at the mouth of the waterfall cascade. So far, finding the path has been easy;-) from now on it gets exciting. In any case, we recommend using a navigation app with an Open Street Map, as the path - which is no longer visible in places - is marked there and this helps immensely in the partly pathless terrain to find at least one game crossing that shows you the way. It is important to always keep in mind to stay about 30 - 40 meters above the Weißenbach. You should leave the initially visible path directly at the waterfall cascade when you are about 40 m above the Weißenbach and continue along the barely visible game trails and hunters path, always above the Weißenbach. You will soon come to a small boulder field in the forest, where the hunters path is clearly visible. This means that if you are not yet on the hunters path, you have to look up or down along the boulder field. The terrain is very steep and you should find the hunters path here, otherwise it will be difficult to continue. Once you have found the hunters' path, follow it further along the Weißenbach stream before you reach a new torrent obstruction of the Weißenbach stream at approx. 960 m (approx. 30-45 min walk from the parking lot) (lower entry). To get to the upper part, walk to the exit of the gravel field where the gorge begins again and take the clearly visible path to the ortographic left. After a few meters in altitude you pass a stream and then come to a second one. Here you move away a little from the gorge of the Weißenbach. You walk up to the small waterfall of the stream and then climb a relatively adventurous 20 m over a boulder field before reaching the ridge. Now you can see the gorge of the Weißenbach again. Now it gets exciting because the path gets lost. In other words, you walk into the valley in the forest without a path and have to watch out for a few meters in altitude. At some point, you will come across a dry stream again and another with a deep chute. The terrain here is already more open and late. Here you should have found the hunters path again. You then come to a place with a salt stone for the game and in about 5 minutes you are at the entry point at about 1260 meters above sea level
Tour: Tour description upper part: ca 2h The Weißenbach was at the time of our ascent (12.06.2020) in sensational condition. The canyon was professionally drilled by the mountain rescue, i.e. there is at least one glued anchor everywhere and each rappel point is numbered with partial indications of escape routes. Immediately at the first stand you will find a general description of the tour, described by the mountain rescue (on a sign). The upper part of the. Ht. Weißenbach is sensationally beautiful. Fantastic mountain scenery, geologically the canyon is certainly one of the most beautiful in Austria. Due to the adventurous access and partial rappelers, which are mandatory in the water with high water pressure, but it is certainly a canyon for advanced canyoneers. Until the SOS 17- rappel the canyon is relatively open, but in an impressive mountain scenery. From the SOS 16-rappel starts a highly impressive gorge, which first starts with a 12m-rappel, before at the SOS 15-rappel you rappel about 7m without visual contact to the chain anchor of the highest and most spectacular rappel. The 35m rappel is extremely impressive, because you have the feeling that you are at the bottom of the water shooting down with great pressure and the arrival from above is not visible. With a little skill, however, you can get under the waterfall and so the water pressure at the bottom is no problem. There follows another small 5m step and one has the feeling of coming from a cave back into a large valley. This place is sensational, because left and right about 150m walls go vertically upwards and in the middle is the relatively wide streambed of the Weißenbach. A small walking passages follows until the canyon narrows slightly again at the SOS 12 rappel point. Care must be taken at the SOS 11 rappel because the water shoots down a relatively shallow chute and you cannot see the bottom of the chute through the white water. In the last third there is a big hole and through the chute you have a strong water pressure. It is recommended to bypass this place or. left with the rope with some skill. After a short distance you come to the next gorge and the ambience of the canyon changes completely. At the top, the canyon has a high alpine, vertical character. From the SOS10 rappel, where also another stream flows in from or.left with a small waterfall, the canyon becomes more aquatic and gets more the character of a "forest canyon", but in a positive sense. Deeply cut dark, dark washed out limestone, crystal clear water and far above one over it lush green - a real color flash. At the SOS 8 rappel, you think you only have to rappel about 7m into the pool below, but the rappel continues through impressive, polished chutes. The SOS7 rappel and a short swim marks the exit of the upper section. Tour description lower part: approx. 1h Compared to the upper part of the canyon, the lower part is unfortunately more "forest canyon style". While beautiful, after the flash of the upper part, this part can't quite maintain the level. The lower part is more open and is in the forest. Begin does the lower part right at the torrent obstruction, which you climb down the right. Relatively close to each other is the 20m rappel from the torrent and a 17m rappel, before you arrive after a short walking passages at a 20m rappel with a small "cannon tube". After the cannon tube follows a walking and downclimb followed by a flatter rappel (SOS 3) until you are faced with a place where you do not know exactly how to get down here. One could bypass this place or. left (so it was probably also thought by the mountain rescue), however, we have attached a sling at a tree or. left and have seen only afterwards that or. right after a downclimb is attached a bolthook. At the SOS2 rappel you have to pay attention to the rope retrival, because the anchors were placed behind a rock bulge and then you come to the SOS 1 rappel. Here you have 2 options: Either you go directly in the water directly away from the SOS 1 rappel, but if the water pressure is too high for you, you can reach or. left with a rope traverse to a "dry" rappel point. Here you have to be extremely careful, because this place is insanely rockfall and really big chunks can be loosened by the ropes in the rappel. Once at the bottom, you walk along the streambed for about 200m before arriving back at the waterfall cascade, where the access began.

Comment: Kleiner Parkplatz im Weissenbachtal bei Hinterstoder. Weiter sollte man nicht fahren (Fahrverbot) (cwiki)
Access: On the A9 coming from the north exit at St. Pankraz or coming from the south at Gleinkerau. From both exits drive in the direction of Hinterstoder. Drive through Hinterstoder always in the direction of the end of the valley. From the catholic church in Hinterstoder you drive about 3.8 km before a small parking lot with a chapel appears on the left. Directly after that you turn left into the Weißenbachtal. You drive about 2km into the valley, on the left side there is a nice wooden house and about 150m after that you can park directly in front of the bridge over the Weißenbach, where a gravel road goes up the mountain on the right. This parking lot is ideal, because some cars can stay without disturbing anyone. (Parking coordinates: 47.659953, 14.130017)
Return: As with the access, follow the streambed out of the valley, take the forest road and then the asphalt road to the parking lot.

Hinterer Stehrergraben: Canyon Start
2025-04-27: Very slippery, lots of wood
2024-07-01: All single bolt anchors - fine for children hopefully. Unless youre having a super good try, I'd expect 35min walking from the carpark - more with kids. Lots of novel little slides, and a few jumps...
2024-05-20: The pool by the 8-meter slide was only one meter deep, so it was better not to slide.
Approach: First follow the overgrown forest road that leads directly into the sparse forest at km 6.2. After a short time, the forest road turns into a path that now leads more steeply uphill through the forest and after a few meters in altitude meets the old forest road again. From here you follow the old forest road with only a slight incline (partly more like an overgrown path), which meets a new forest road after about 15 minutes (large open area). Follow the new forest road to the right for only a short distance until you reach the entry point at approx. 740m (it doesn't matter much, but the Hinterer Stehrergraben entry point is not before, but after the bends).
Tour: With its open gorge character, many slides and small abseiling steps, the Hinterer Stehrergraben is certainly one of the most rewarding beginner gorges in the Salzkammergut, alongside the Burggrabenklamm. Depending on the participants, weather and time of year, a 3mm neoprene may be sufficient. The canyoning tour never gets boring as the walk, slide, rappel and downclimb sections alternate well. A higher cascade in the middle of the canyon of approx. 16m can be bypassed via a fixed rope on the right. After a few slides, another 16m step follows, which can also be slid from the middle after checking. This is followed by smaller walking, sliding and downclimbing sections before you finally reach the highest, clearly visible abseil point (10m+20m). After the last small 3m step (possibly a jump), you leave the stream on the right at approx. 540m.

Comment: Parkplatz bei km 6,2 (cwiki)
Access: From Mondsee drive in the direction of Unterach/Bad Ischl, then turn right towards Weißenbach am Attersee. After the campsite in Weißbach, turn right towards Bad Ischl and follow the B153 to km 6.2. Either park immediately on the right in the forest road next to the cycle path (little space) or continue for about 100m and park in the large parking lot to the left of the main road.
Return: Through the forest to the main road and right back to the parking lot.

Rio della Stua: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot you follow the clearly recognizable forest road with little slope uphill. After 5-10 min the forest road ends. Here you go about 5 m directly uphill until you meet a clearly recognizable path. The path with red-white-blue markings leads directly to the Rio della Stua.
Tour: At the entry you can see immediately on the left an old dilapidated weir. Immediately after the inflow of a small stream or. right begins the canyon 3 beautiful successive rappel. The 3rd rappel is somewhat difficult to reach when the water level is high, so you will find or. right. Somewhat hidden a ring to set up a rope traverse. The short rappel leads directly under a clamping block past into a deep pool. After a 240m walking passages follows the next 17m rappel from a chain anchor and then another 60m walk. In case of problems, you could most likely get out of the canyon here or. left. After that follows a step of about 2m, which is best rappelled or. left from the tree (do not jump even if tempting). A small slide follows, which leads into a deep cave-like pool. Immediately after, you rope 17m from a chain anchor into a shallow pool (watch out for sharp edges). Directly after this, a small stream flows or. right and a beautiful 4m jump follows. A 250m walk and downclimb follows. In this passage are in the block chaos partly clamping blocks which are quite nice if you go into these "mini caves" purely. The passage can also be bypassed in the forest. Here, too, in case of emergency, one should most likely get out of the canyon or. left. At the exit of this walking passages you come to a passage where you first suspect a small slide and then a deeper pool. Do not take this supposed slide but or. right. out of the stream, bypass the 1st pool and then you can jump from the forest into the 2nd very nice pool (7m directly from the tree or 3m a little further down). After that follows a 20m waterfall before you come to a drop off (about 10m) where you search in vain for a stall. This place must be bypassed or. right. A bit of boulder climbing follows before another inlet on the or. left flows into the Rio della Stua. After another rather long walk and downclimb with a 4m jump, a tributary from or. left and a small slide into a beautiful pool, one is at a dam that is used for electricity production and where practically the whole is diverted. Fortunately, after another walk and downclimb in a rather dry streambed from or. right, there is another inlet that again brings good water into the Rio della Stua. Immediately after that you are at the last and highest rappel (28m).

Rio della Stua: Parking at Entry
Access: From Tolmezzo you drive about 15 min (16 km) on the SS52 in the direction of Ampezzo. The SS52 crosses an arched bridge painted red-brown and about 200m after the bridge (5km before Ampezzo) you turn right in the direction of "Preone" or Socchieve. After one km you reach the village of Socchieve. Here, just inside the village, when the road bends to the left, turn right. On the right, on the hill, you will see the church "Chiesa di San Martino". Follow the small road out of Socchieve, keeping to the right (do not turn off), cross the ford over the Torrente Lumie before arriving at the Tagliamento after one km. Here there are now 2 possibilities to cross the Tagliamento. If the water allows it and you have a car with enough ground clearance, you can drive directly through the Tagliamento, or you fold in the side sails and drive over the very narrow bridge over the Tagliamento. Once you have crossed the Tagliamento, turn right and follow the road for about 750m until you reach Rio della Stua. Here is the lower parking lot (coordinates: N 46.384300, E 012.835300). To get to the upper parking lot, cross the Rio della Stua and take the road up the hill (keep right at the first fork, keep left at the second fork). After about 10 minutes on an asphalt road with partly big potholes you arrive at the upper parking lot at 680Hm. (Coordinates: N 46.376655, E 012.825140)
Return: After the last rappel, follow the stream for about 15min before coming out at the lower parking lot.

2023-07-18: Many logs present
Approach: Follow the forest path for a few meters directly at the upper parking lot. At the next concrete ford, which leads over the Rio Storto, you can enter it.
Tour: Walk along the open streambed for about 300m until you reach the first gentle drop-off. Here you either climb down carefully or use the tree behind you as an anchor (15 m). After another short walking passages, a small slide and a shallow 15m rappel in a narrow chute, the canyon narrows noticeably. If you already have problems with the water at this rappel, you should turn around here and abort the tour! Once you have passed this point, there is no way out of the canyon for a long time and several narrow sections follow. This very beautiful narrow passage is followed by some small downclimbs, jumps and slides. Unfortunately, there was a lot of wood in this passage during our ascent, which slightly spoiled the fun. The narrow passage exits with the highest rappel in the canyon (19m) and is followed by a small walking passages with a chaos of blocks that need to be downclimbed. This is probably the only escape route in the canyon, as the next narrow passage leads to the canyon exit. The rest of the narrow gorge can be started either with a small slide or, if you climb up a little on the left, as a 4m jump. In this narrow passage you will find further smaller slides, jumps, smaller swimming sections, as well as 2 smaller rappels. After an approach on the ortographic left, there is another shallow 15m rappel and a small jump. This is followed by a narrower streambed lined by high walls in which you walk for approx. 70m before you come to the last rappel at a wooden weir in the canyon. This is followed by approx. 60m of walking, climbing and smaller swimming passages before arriving under the bridge at the mouth of the Rio Storto into the Sauris reservoir.

Access: From Tolmezzo you drive about 22km (20min) to Ampezzo. Directly in Ampezzo turn right in the direction of Sauris. Follow the winding road, which leads through a few narrow tunnels, for another 10km (approx. 15min) until you arrive directly at the Sauris dam. Here you turn left and drive over the dam wall of the Sauris dam. Immediately after the dam wall you enter a very narrow tunnel (be careful with oncoming traffic there is practically no way out). From the entrance to the tunnel, drive through the tunnel for another 1.2 km and continue on the road. At the first 180° bend, turn right onto the gravel road. Follow the dirt road for about 200m until you reach a bridge that leads directly over the Rio Storto, where it flows into the Sauris reservoir. After the bridge you can park all your cars on the right side except for the ones you need for the shuttles. At the bridge you should also check the water level of the Rio Storto. The canyon is very narrow over long parts and offers only few escape possibilities. Enter only in stable weather. (Coordinates: N 46.442402, E 012.725270) To get to the entry from the lower parking lot, drive back 200m to the road and turn right up the slope. On this road, immediately after leaving the gravel road, there are 3 serpentines followed by a longer straight. After almost exactly 2km (before the next switchbacks begin!) a forest road leads in on the right (with a no driving sign that no one cares about). Here you turn off and drive about 200m on the forest road over the first concrete ford over the Rio Plan Pizzul and directly after that you will find a large wooden parking area on the left side where you can park perfectly. (Coordinates: N 46.432698, E 012.724778)
Return: You swim in the Sauris reservoir for about 40m and then walk on the ortographic left. Bank up the embankment to the parking lot where the cars are.

Approach: From the large parking lot in front of the Rifugio "Capanna Triest (1135m), follow hiking trail 555 (forest road). After about 15 minutes you can already see the last 20m rappel to the left of the hiking trail (check the water level!). Then continue uphill on the forest road until you reach an open, flat meadow. Here, descending to the left, you soon reach the stream. Entry at 1600m.
Tour: A magnificent vertical rappel canyon from start to exit with no long stretches between the steps. If you like vertical abseils, you will fall in love with this canyon. Most of the abseiling points are easy to see and, with a little skill, can also be abseiled outside the water jet. There are enough bolts and lugs to reach the sometimes exposed belays safely. The highest abseil point (approx. 45m) in the middle of the canyon can be mastered without any problems (only little water contact). This is immediately followed by a very impressive, hidden abseil. This section looks wilder than it is as you only rappel a short section in the water at the beginning and then dry in the overhang (28m). However, due to the sharp edges, it is essential to work carefully here. Then comes a short narrow section and more beautiful rappels in an open canyon (max. 25m). At the last abseil point you can already see the hiking trail, which you reach after the steps and some rock hopping at 1330m.

Approach: Directly at the second hairpin bend, follow the well-trodden path over the first small stream/river. Then climb up a little on the orographic left-hand side next to the Val Maggiore until you reach a well-trodden path that soon leads directly to the stream. This is the entry point for the Maggiore intermedio (there are several entry options, but we found this one to be the best).
Tour: The Val Maggiore is a not deeply incised (max. 40m) canyon in very beautiful, grippy layered limestone in a vegetation-rich environment. Countless beautifully washed-out pools, some of which are deep, invite you to slide or jump after checking the depth. As the canyon is often used commercially, the tour is well equipped. There are Inox lugs, chain anchors, glued anchors or rope traverses for rappels or bypassing at all important steps/spots. The Val Maggiore is suitable for beginners, but should not be underestimated at higher water levels as some pools can recede or you may have difficulty getting out in the washouts/caves in the current area. The highest abseil point of 25m comes after a short warm-up section directly after the bridge that you have previously passed by car (there are often onlookers on a viewing platform). The 25m rappel can also be bypassed on the left. Another higher (15m) rappel comes in the final section under a bridge where you can alternatively get off. Here you should watch out for several iron bars in the stream. The last step before the road can usually be jumped (otherwise chain anchors on the left).

Approach: Enter just above the stone bridge at the upper exit of the Harpfnerwand tunnel. (below the inclined weir)
Tour: The Zemm Gorge is a beautiful aquatic hike and swim canyon in granite rock. Almost all steps can be downclimbed or rappelled or slid or jumped. The relatively easy canyon attracts a lot of novice canyoneers and swimmers. On some hot weekend days it can happen that you have to queue at the downclimb/abseil steps. In general, the Zemmschlucht is worth a half-day trip in any case. Since 2021, the water flow (regulated by huge pumped-storage power plants) is about double what it used to be, but doesn't pose a problem because you never have to rappel directly in the water stream. If you want sun in the canyon, it's best to get in at lunchtime!

Approach: From the parking lot, walk down to the picnic area. Here you can already see the wooden signs with the canyoning sign. Follow the path on the orographic left side of the stream and then climb briefly up to the houses and the bridge that is already visible. Here, right by the bridge (small climbing garden), climb up again briefly until you are in front of the dam wall. Entry at approx. 660m.
Tour: The Chiadola is a very short but well worthwhile lime canyon that is perfectly set up. The seven abseiling points follow each other for a short distance of up to 20m. If the water depth allows, some places can be slid. Below the bridge is the last and highest abseiling point (20m with shower...). The belay is on the right-hand side and can be reached safely via a fixed rope traverse. If you want to avoid this point, you can get off to the left before the bridge. After this abseiling point, you will soon reach the access path. Exit at approx. 600m.

Val Ru da Molin: Canyon Start
2023-05-04: Very beautiful canyon, but not without danger.
Approach: Directly behind the restaurant, briefly follow the steep path no. 502 to a water house with an antenna. At the inconspicuous crossroads, follow the path/trail to the left behind the little house. The path is initially consistently steep and runs parallel to the road upwards. From the rock face onwards, the path becomes increasingly exposed. From here, the path runs parallel far above the canyon to the entry at approx. 600m (if the path is very wet or someone is not free from giddiness, access can be a problem).
Tour: After the adventurous access, the most beautiful slides/jumps are just around the corner. If you don't want to jump/slide here, you can also rappel. Caution! Be sure to check all pools beforehand. The canyon has been sufficiently equipped and should also be possible at higher water levels. However, there is no emergency exit as the gorge walls lead vertically upwards for 200-300m in most places. In the first half there are almost all abseiling points up to a maximum of 25m. After the last high approx. 20m abseil, a large clamping block/rock on the right must be climbed over. After that, the canyon is just a hiking canyon up to the dam wall. At the dam wall, you can rappel on the right or downclimb on the left at the water drainage. There is a small ladder on the left where you can get out or you can make a 5m jump into the last beautiful pool before the road bridge.

Rio Belepeit (Superiore): Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the Hotel Carnia head north on the SS13 to Chiusaforte. 300m after the town sign "Villanova / Vilegnove" at km 183 IX appears on the right a bus stop and an entrance to a large parking lot (directly across the road from Villanova. Park here. Note: If you look from the parking lot in the direction of Villanova, you can already see directly above the cascade with the total of almost 120 hm.
Return: If you want to get out, there is an inconspicuous path to the left, which first leads uphill and then after about 15 minutes to hiking trail 425. approx. 2.5h Rio Belepeit part 2 and part 3

Rio Belepeit (Superiore): Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, walk past the benches until you reach the road. If you turn slightly left here and cross the road, you will see a white house (Right by the town sign "Villanova"). To the left of the house, a staircase leads uphill. Follow the stairs until you reach the asphalted cycle path at the beginning of the tunnel. Cross the cycle path (red markings) and follow the path uphill. You come to a road where you climb over the guardrails, cross the parking lot (Rio Molin parking lot) and go left over the terrace of the house. Immediately after the house you can see the red markings again, which you follow past the slope barriers until you reach Rio Belepeit (just above the last rappel). ATTENTION: DO NOT follow the red markings over the Rio Belepeit, but go up the stream for about 50m or. to the left and only here cross the Rio Belepeit and continue to follow the hiking trail. Follow this path for about 15-20 minutes uphill past the white wayside shrine. You will then meet the well-marked hiking trail "425" at a concrete wall (approx. 570 hm). Here you turn left and follow the path "425" to the west. You stay on the well visible path "425". After about another 30 min you pass - at the saddle - a ruin, after another 5 min you come to a house (on the left) with a spring, where you can fill up drinking water. ATTENTION: This source of drinking water should be used in any case. The upper part of the Belepeit is dry and from that point on there is no possibility to refill the drinking water supply. Follow the clearly recognizable path "425" uphill until you come to an inconspicuous junction at 890 m (N46.405557, E013.275923) (both a tree on the right and on the left have a red-white-red hiking mark) and during our walk a red cloth was hanging there. Here you turn right off the 425 trail up the slope. You follow the first inconspicuous path in the grass, but then it becomes more and more recognizable. After another 40min or so, at 1180Hm (N46.409427, E013.278872), you come across another ruin. At the ruin, do not head towards the viewpoint, but pass the ruin on the left (red dot on the tree) and continue to follow the path. At 1280Hm (N46.412976, E013.280332) leave the path (we tied a piece of Korda's ropes to the tree there) and go pathless first slightly uphill, then keeping right along the saddle towards the south - towards "Monte Belepeit". Simply follow the saddle until you reach the tree - the first rappel. Entry (N46.411546, E013.280327).
Tour: The first rappel are very adventurous with very high risk of falling rocks - Attention! It must be really careful, because you inevitably looseritt stones, in addition, the stones are very sharp i.e. you must also pay attention to the rappel on the rope. There is no possibility to get the ropes wet at the entry, i.e. you rappel directly in the blazing sun. After the first three adventurous rappels from trees and a descending section, you meet the source of the Belepeit. (During our ascent there was relatively much water in Friuli - nevertheless there were only a few drops coming out of the mountain here). After another downclimb of about 150m with danger of falling rocks, the canyon becomes a bit narrower and you meet the first drilled stances. The next 5 rappels are repeatedly interrupted by downclimb passages and then 6 rappels follow one after the other. There follows a passage with several abseils (R30re, R35 li) - here you have to make sure that you really have the 30m or 35m ropes available, because there are no pitons between the abseils. After this passage the canyon opens up a bit and through an underground spring the canyon finally gets noticeable water. After about 3 rappels into more open terrain, the canyon narrows again and after another 4 rappels you hit really open terrain, which marks the entry of part 2.

Approach: From the Johannishütte, take the gravel road uphill and cross the Zettalunitzbach stream after approx. 100m in the direction of the "Boulder area". Follow the initially clearly recognizable path until you reach the Dorferbach stream. Follow this upstream until you reach a small wooden bridge at the beginning of the Dorferbach gorge at approx. 2160m.
Tour: The first gorge begins at 2160m directly at a wooden bridge under which there is a rock arch. The first rappel is either a 6m rappel or a 4m jump. This is followed by another small rappel followed by a nice downclimb, short swim and walking passages before the stream makes a 90° left turn, becomes open again and you pass the Johannishütte. After a longer walking passage in the streambed, past the Johannishütte, you come to the next gorge, which again begins at a wooden bridge. Here you will probably find one of the largest exposed quartz veins running through the middle of a stream. The village stream has really hollowed out the quartz vein - this spot alone would be worth doing the stream - but the most exciting part is yet to come. Past the beautiful quartz vein, a small swimming passage follows and you come to a striking clamping block under which you pass below. It becomes increasingly narrow and you come to the next beautiful rock arch that has been carved into the stone. Here you rappel down 5m before you reach the next beautiful rock arch after about 50m of walking and downclimbing. Here, the first person should rappel into the pool with body protection and check whether it is possible to jump. During our ascent, this pool was jumpable. This is followed by an open walking passage under another rock arch down to the first higher rappel (approx. 17m). After another walking passage, there is another jump before you reach the dam wall of the small power station after another walking passage. It takes about 1.5 hours to get here. Here you leave the stream and walk along the forest road to the Gumpach cross. At the Gumpach cross, follow the hiking trail downhill towards Dorferbach. The 3rd gorge section begins directly in front of the Felschaos. A unique dark gorge section with fantastic geological formations begins here! The Dorferbach stream was buried here by a large landslide and has eaten further into the rock under the landslide. The entry into the rock chaos is on the left where you squeeze through a small hole into the rock chaos. This is followed by a clamping block through which you have to crawl underneath. This is followed by an extremely dark swimming passage on the right, past a clamping block. After another narrow section where you squeeze past on the left, you can see daylight again and the road on the left above. This is followed by the first 8m rappel in this part under another huge clamping block. Here you come to a beautiful passage out of the darkness and you can see the fantastic panorama out of the Dorfertal. This is followed by another dry rappel at a clamping block back into the darkness. After another forced rappel in the water, there is a small downclimb or 5m rappel on the right, followed by another 15m rappel before you reach the next beautiful rock bridge in the darkness. Here another 15m rappel leads to another walk and downclimb, as well as a small swim of approx. 20m before you reach the exit of the 3rd and probably one of the most unique gorge sections in Austria. Directly above you is the bridge over the road to the Johannishütte. The 4th part is relatively discontinuous and open. It begins with a downclimb and a tributary ortographic left. After another walking passages you come to a 5m jump. After a small walking passage you come to a large block. Here you either climb down ortographic right or turn left, climb under the large block into the small cave and then come out under the small waterfall (worthwhile). This is followed by a small 4m rappel followed by a larger rappel cascade of 18m, 15m and 7m. After a downclimb you leave the village stream ortographic left at the serpentine quarry (1760m). To get to the last part, walk along the road until you reach a large bridge over the Dorferbach. Cross it onto the ortographic right bank and then path upstream for approx. 100m into the Dorferbach. Directly under the bridge is the anchor for the 10m rappel. This pool is probably also jumpable. It is advisable to leave the Dorferbach ortographic left after the other pools, as from now on there is only a river walk. Exit ortographic left at approx. 1650 m altitude.

2025-07-19: Parts 1-4 done. Start jump unfortunately covered in gravel. Partly a bit slippery.
Approach: Access to the Vielia is easy to find, as you always stay on path 377, which leads through the Val Vielia. At the beginning of the trail, you climb a few meters before reaching the Val Vielia after about 20-25 minutes. From there, the path leads relatively gently uphill through beech forests. After about 40-45 minutes, you come close to the streambed of the Vielia for the first time. This is the entry point to part IV (approx. 660m) Alternative access from the pass road: Near KM stone IV/17 you will find a small parking area, on the other side of the road a path begins between rockfall nets. Follow this path (clear route, cairns) to a small saddle, then descend to the ruins of Stalle Velleai. The path is usually easy to see, only in the area of wind breaks there are orientation problems, but if you keep slightly to the right on the descent you should always find the path again. In the area of Stalle Vellai, take a short, pathless path to the left past the only house still standing until a path forms again that leads down to Vielia. Caution: Vielia IV is very often combined with parts II and III. It is definitely worth doing at least part III, as you reach it in another 30 minutes ascent and are in the canyon in about 1:15-1:30. Part III is one of the most beautiful canyon passages in the whole of Friuli. Description see canyoning database "Vielia I-III"
Tour: Part 4 begins with a 10-minute walking passages in the open streambed before you reach the first section. During the walking passages, the water level doesn't seem that high, but by the first rappel at the latest, you can see that the Vielia has almost tripled in size compared to the entry of Part III! After the first rappel and a small jump, you come to a shallow slide into a deep green pool, which can also be abseiled down if necessary. From here, the canyon narrows visibly. After a 3m jump and a 130m M+E+swim, you come to an 18m rappel. Here you first rappel directly into the strong water. Here you have to be careful not to get caught in the water, but to avoid it and continue rappelling on the rock band ortographic right. This is followed by another narrow rappel, necessarily in the water - the water can be partially bypassed by spreading out between the walls - which leads ortographic right to an intermediate belay, from which you can rappel into the deep pool right next to the waterfall. This is followed by another abseil and swimming passage before you abseil 8m into a small cave, which can then be downclimbed to the left. This is followed by a 70m M+E+swim and a 2m jump into a deep pool. Climb down about 10m and then you are faced with what is probably the most treacherous part of Part IV. see Dangerous spot with special features After this point, the canyon opens up again a little and you have an approx. 250m long M+E+swim ahead of you. This exits with an abseil from a large boulder followed by another 10m abseil until you reach several large boulders in the middle of the gorge after another 70m. From here you can either rappel 20m, or you can rope up to the lower boulder, from where you can jump 10m into the turquoise pool below. From here, the Vielia 4 narrows again. After several small abseils and a jump, you come to a cave-like area with a large clamping block in the middle. There are usually always rope loops around the clamping block, which you can use to belay yourself. To get to the anchor, you have to pass the clamping block in the water and the anchor is on the clamping block. At this point, you are forced to rappel directly in the water and you will feel the concentrated water pressure, especially when you arrive from the rappel. Another longer M+E+ swim follows, which is interrupted by an inflow of water from the left. Now you come to a rappel point C6 ortographic right, from which you rappel into a pool with a large clamping block. After you have skillfully climbed up the clamping block, a 6m jump into a cave-like passage follows. This passage exits with a 7m rappel into a gorgeous turquoise pool, with another inlet from the left and a 100m swim in cold water. After this swimming section, the canyon opens up again visibly and after a small walking passage you come to a rock chaos. The rock chaos must be climbed ortographic left and you come to the highest rappel of the Vielia IV passage. After another M+E follows the last rappel of the tour from the tree into the pool, which can also be downclimbed if you continue ortographic right. If you want to save yourself the last kilometers in the quite beautiful surroundings, but only with 2 jumps, you can now leave the canyon ortographic left at a small water inlet (which can also be dried out in summer). This point is about 40-50m after the last abseil point. Attention, if you plan to leave the canyon here, you should park the shuttle car at option 1 (see approach). Here you go pathless approx. 40m through undergrowth before you reach the road. If you do not leave the canyon here, you first have a quite long walk in the water ahead of you (approx. 400 m), which leads into the last gorge of the Vielia Canyon. Caution: Depending on the water level, there are still a few water problems in the gorge (a baffle wall and a siphon). After a final jump, swim directly under the SR552 bridge.

Comment: Beginn Fürstensteig
Approach: Directly at the parking lot, about 20m after the Fürstensteig begins - uphill - you go left on an unmarked path uphill for about 5 min. In the forest, the path is even secured. After 5 min you will come to the forest road, which you always follow along the signs "Aicherkarlalm". Partially you leave the forest road, or cross it again on the well-signposted path to the Aicherkaralm. You arrive at the alp after about another 40 minutes. Past the hut, along the forest road for another 700m (about 10 min) and then clearly visible another forest road leads left slightly downhill. Follow this path for about 150m and then continue straight on (do not follow the main forest road on the left) until you reach the Lunglgrabenbach stream.

Follow this path for about 150m and then continue straight on (do not follow the main forest road on the left) until you reach the Lunglgrabenbach stream.
Tour: At first the stream looks like a forest canyon. However, after about 250m and a flatter rappel (single hook on a larger rock or.left), you come out of the forest to the break, which leads into the geologically highly interesting cascade with several rappels. Almost all the belays are well secured chain anchors. The rock becomes increasingly brittle towards the bottom and practically everywhere there is a danger of falling rocks. After the first 45m rappel you come to a place that is very scenic. Here is a sloping ramp to the next belaystation which is located or. left. Here you will not find a belaystation anywhere and at the ramp you should not start sliding, because underneath there is the next drop. Here you have either the possibility to secure yourself with a body belay or you try to cross out directly at the arrival point of the 45m waterfall orographic left and get to the tree where you can hang a rope. At the 2nd 45m- rappel you think at first, someone meant it very well with the chain anchor. An approx. 2m-long chain with 4 express anchors stands there ready as an abseil point. On closer inspection of the rock, however, one understands why 4 express anchors were needed. The entire rock is extremely porous and one anchor has even broken off completely. Here it is advisable to check first whether one trusts the anchors. We have at least fixed the rope from the upper abseil point here, so that if it comes with the first to the breakout of the anchors at least about the abseil rope to the upper stand a backup exists. After another small walking passages you come to the last rappel (left), which can also be bypassed to the right via a small path made of steel steps. Then cross or. left out to the forest road.

Return: You have two options: 1. leave the stream after the prominent clamping block on the right at approx. 540m and soon reach the steep access path. 2. after the prominent clamping block, you bypass the last cascades on the left and at the end rappel approx. 20m from a tree. Shortly afterwards, exit the stream on the right before the bedload barrier and follow the road to the parking lot.

Approach: Directly at the parking lot you can see the Glanbach (not Koppenbach). From the parking lot, follow the Brunntalweg on the orographic left side of the stream to the exit of the road. After the last houses, you will see a boulder barrier on the right (lower exit Koppenbach). The short but very steep and rarely used path up towards the ghost town begins right at the striking large boulder. The path leads along a former marble quarry track that has been partially blasted through the rock. At the exit of the track rock face (after approx. 15min ascent approx. 640m) there is a small fortification wall on the right. Along the wall, continue straight ahead to an old steep path with the remains of a rope railing down to the stream at approx. 615m.
Tour: The Koppenbach is also called the Devil's Gorge by the locals and is incorrectly named Glanbach on most maps. However, the Glanbach only begins at the foot of the mountain (at the confluence of the Koppenbach, Kühllbach and Fürstenbrunner Quelhöhle). The short canyon, which is more interesting after rainfall, is rich in vegetation with several small steps and slippery spots. Small chutes are better rappelled than slid due to their narrow width. At the highest step (20m cascade) there is a chain anchor, otherwise mostly only Inox single pitons. The best light is available from midday and the lush green moss provides a beautiful contrast to the dark gorge surroundings. For a short morning/afternoon hop through a small canyon or as a combination with the neighboring "Rosittenbach", the tour is always worthwhile. The "ghost town" (marble quarry), Fürstenbrunn spring cave (built in 1875), the small Grassl cave (esoteric power place) and the Karlohr (22m shaft cave) are also historically interesting and within easy reach. All of these destinations can be visited on a shorter circular hike. As a starting point, we recommend access via the old track path to the ghost town (see Internet).

Approach: Cross the bridge and go down on the ortographic left. Side over the embankment down. The Picchions is narrow in certain passages, so check the water under the bridge. Reference picture see attachment - at this water level the walk is no problem.
Tour: Arrived in the streambed of the Picchion first follows a somewhat longer walking passages, before it then goes blow-on-blow. The first rappel is from a chain or. right, which is attached to a tree. Immediately after follows a relatively aquatic rappel, which can also be jumped after prior testing. This is followed by a 20m rappel which can be reached or. left via a rope traverse. The rappel leads down into a pool with a return, which must be swum through with ropes before the remaining 3m can be rappelled. If the return is strong, it is recommended to rope up to the next stall so that the pool can be bypassed. Another 20m rappel follows, which can be dry rappelled either from a chain anchor in the water or over a rope traverse to a single hook - which is actually meant to serve as a redirect. This was the short, narrow part of the Picchion. You reach the exit of the Picchion after about an hour. After that, from or. right, the Vinadia enters the canyon and it becomes a bit more open again. After about 5 min walking in the streambed follows a very narrow and dark part of the Vinadia. About 300m lasts the very dark and beautiful part, which must be partially swum through. Now follows a relatively strenuous descending part in a more open environment. Here a few bolts would not have hurt, but you look for them in vain. Here you partly meet an old via ferrata, which helps with the downclimb. When the canyon narrows again, one comes to several large boulders, where it is mandatory to use the former via ferrata. In this part the belays are rather moderate (rusty single nails). A 22m rappel or. right into a relatively dark part ends the cut part and it becomes successively more open again. Walking, downclimbing and swimming passages follow, interrupted by a smaller rappel and jump. Partly a body belay is recommended to secure inexperienced downclimbers. After about 3h the canyon becomes a bit narrower again and you come to the water drainage, which can be used as an exit if necessary via the shaft (see special features) after a previous grid check. The exit of the upper part of Vinadia (Vinadia I, incl. Picchions) is reached after about 3h. Now follows the beautiful lower part of Vinadia (Vinadia II). Crystal clear water, which you would not expect after the derivation, paired with several small rappels, which can be partially jumped. Unique scenery as the canyon narrows to as little as a meter in places with about 100m-150m walls above you. After several small rappels with jumps paired with swims, walks and climbs, you come to the highest rappel in the canyons: a 30m rappel from a chain anchor. Partially, in the lower part, the former via ferrata must be used as anchor. For almost 2h you are in the narrow part, where you have practically no possibility to get out or get to safety. In June or July in stable weather, however, sensational, as light also penetrates to the bottom of the canyon again and again. A somewhat longer walking passage, where the canyon becomes increasingly open, ends one of the most scenic canyons in Friuli. The dry streambed can be left or. left on a gravel road that leads to the former stone custom.

Comment: Einstieg (ACA)
Approach: (45min by bike + 15min on foot) Valley access: You ride your bike (next to the Aubach) on the wide forest road for approx. 45min (7.8km) towards the Postalm. The forest road is rather flat at the beginning (approx. 5km) and becomes steeper before the bridge over the Ackersbach. From the Ackersbach bridge it is approx. 3km to the bridge over the Zinkenbach (981m WGS 84. 47°38'06" N 13°12'31 "E). For the exit/return route, it is advisable to park your bike a few 100m beforehand at a wood storage area with a fork in the forest road (signs prohibiting bicycles).47.631770,13.371702 Here you can immediately turn left on foot and follow the forest road with the driving ban. After a short hike you come to a suitable place (gravel gully) where you descend into the Zinkenbach. Entry at approx. 1000m. Alternative mountain access (15min bike + 15min on foot): By bike, at the parking lot/barrier, follow the forest road with the hiking sign "Voglau bei Abtenau 3 1/2h", past the alpine pastures and next to the Lienbach, the wide forest road leads slightly downhill for approx. 4km to the bridge that crosses the Zinkenbach (sign "Zinkenbachklamm 981m WGS 84". 47°38'06" N, 13°12'31" E). Once at the bridge, park your bike. Then you can walk (orographic right) briefly and steeply through the forest up to the other forest road. Follow this road to the right until you reach a visible small chute where you descend into the Zinkenbach stream. Entry at approx. 1000m.
Tour: The remote, short, canyon is best reached by bike (recommendation - free access to the valley by bike! ). Directly at the Zinkenbach bridge, you can already see the narrow gap in the middle section. This narrowness is characteristic of the whole tour. The difficulty in the canyon is not in rappelling the short steps (5-10m), but in moving along the mostly narrow and slippery sections. As the canyon can change considerably after high water (blockages, gravel, damaged anchors) and the canyon is rarely used, the emergency drill set should not be forgotten under any circumstances. During our inspection (June 2021), all of the stands had been repaired. Without major blockages, the tour is really worthwhile. A beautiful, not too deep but narrow lime canyon with beautiful small pools and abseiling points awaits the hiker. There is usually enough time by bike to take the short and nearby Ackersbach (approx. 3 km down the valley) (additional time required approx. 2 hours).

Gerbach: Canyon Start
2025-08-12: Very slippery in places. Anchoring is fine, a few places are more difficult to reach if you are not so tall or because it is slippery.
2025-06-19: Apart from the slippery spots and some wood, everything from the upper entry to the bottom is great.
2025-06-14: New anchors were drilled in all important places in the upper part (now there are no more sufficient ones for the upper part 😉) In addition, the 30er cascade got a chain instead of the tree sling.woo...
Approach: Directly at the bridge you can already see the water level of the Gerbach, which flows into the Ackersbach above the bridge. From the bridge, follow the forest road on foot for about 100m up to the third left fork (the first two lead to the forester's lodge). If you walk past the third junction, you will see a yellow hiking sign with the inscription "Voglau/Postalm" (old Postalm road), where an inconspicuous path leads up to the forest road (Karrenweg Hochzinkenalmen). Follow this first in open terrain, then through the forest up to the steep rock face and bridge over the Gerbach at 1080m. Tip: after approx. 30 minutes uphill, you could also descend/enter the canyon on the left (directly before the 30m cascade) (= approx. 1h time saving).
Tour: The Gerbach is a remote, beautiful and rewarding canyon in the Salzburg region. Unfortunately, there are some annoying wooden obstructions in the canyon that should not be underestimated. If you are interested in the interesting vertical narrow canyon, you should definitely check the weather and water level and carry an emergency drill kit. As already mentioned in the access section, you can start the canyon from the very top at the small bridge over the Gerbach or from further down (visible game crossing path left in front of the rock face). Right at the beginning (entry at the bridge) there is the first 10m abseil in the narrow part of the gorge. This is followed by small steps/climbs and several slides to the first high 20m abseil (chain anchor on the left). This is followed by a few short abseils and downclimbs in a more open gorge environment. After a 10m abseil on the right and some large rocks, you could leave the canyon to the left to the forest path (only possibility!). A short downclimb follows until you reach the beautiful 30m cascade and incised gorge section. The cascade can be rappelled in one piece from a chain anchor or you can split it up (10m+20m). After this abseiling point it remains narrow and continuous. This is followed by approx. 20 abseils up to a maximum of 20m via 10mm stainless steel anchors and chain anchors (the anchors are not always immediately visible!) Jumps should be well considered. Between the abseiling steps there are some mostly very slippery tree blockages that have to be climbed over or downclimbed. Towards the end of the tour there is a nice 20m (right) abseil with a rock hole. This is followed by a rather flat, slippery section with two (three) short abseils before you reach the bikes again at around 800m (small old wooden footbridge).

Approach: Trail 628a begins directly at the valley station of the material cable car for the Corsi Hut. Follow the trail sign "Rifugio Corsi" first slightly downhill and then uphill for about 15min. The entry is directly where the first section secured with steel cables begins (single ring bolt at the anchor points of the wire rope). If you want to avoid the upper part, which was first climbed in 2021, go down the same way and then branch off into the canyons at a branch of the Torto. (5 min)
Tour: From the single piton on the wire rope, you can either rappel about 20m into the canyon or rappel down until you reach the streambed. After about 250 walking and rappelling passages, you cross to the left onto a rocky ledge from which you rappel from a single piton into the narrower part of the canyon. The upper part consists of 5 steps with up to 15m that follow each other without much walking passages and are quite beautiful. After a tributary that comes into the canyon from the right, there is an open walking passages for about 15 min (this is the area where you also enter the canyon if you enter Torto directly at the material cableway and skip the upper part). After a small rappel from a rock (R8 re) some nice rappels follow, some of which have to be done directly in the water. At the C27re there are even bolts (right), which can be used as a redirect if you want to avoid the water. Here also begins a somewhat cut part, which ends again after 3 more rappels. After another inflow from the left and a walking passages you come to the highest rappel (C33 left). After another 5 rappels, the canyon ends with a 500m walking passages where you arrive or left directly at the lower parking lot at the bridge.

Comment: Parkplatz bei Brücke über den Rio Torto
Access: Coming from Austria, cross the border at Arnoldstein and follow the A23 until the Tarvisio exit, where you leave the A23. Then turn left and drive over the bridge of the river "Slizza. After about 200m turn right in the direction of "Bovec". After about 250m you will come to another bridge over the river "Slizza". After the bridge turn left in the direction of "Bovec". After about 600m you come to the next stop sign, where you turn left again in the direction of "Bovec". Stay on this road (SS54) for 9.1km before turning right onto the SP76 towards "Sella Nevea" about 1km after the village of "Cave del Predil". Stay on the SP76 for 5,1km - pass the "Lago del Predil" always in the direction of "Sella Nevea". After 5.1km turn right into the parking lot just before the bridge over the Rio Torto. Here park the cars (N46.402400, E13.519200) With the shuttle car, which should ideally be all-terrain or have an all-terrain driver ;-), turn right over the bridge of the Rio Torto and continue along the SP76 in the direction of Sella Nevea. After 900m there is a monument on the right (stone with a cross) where you turn onto the gravel road. The dirt road with deep potholes and steep hairpin bends goes uphill for 4km until you reach the alpine pasture "Malta Grantagar". The road has a barrier with a no driving sign at the bottom, but it is ok to drive up to the mountain pasture if you then also consume something at the top of the mountain pasture (this is also extremely recommendable, sensational food and very nice innkeepers). Parking at the top at (N46.414611, E13.504021) ATTENTION: due to the popularity of the area and the limited parking, really only as few vehicles as possible should drive up to the Alm.
Return: At the footprints orographic left out and through the forest or directly to the bridge in the open streambed.

Ackersbach: Canyon Start
2025-06-19: All boron hooks + Mc. okay, tour with afternoon sun a pleasure.
2025-05-01: Water level still a little higher, all boron hooks and Mc. ok.
2024-11-09: As usual, we will continue here after Gerbach. Everything OK ; fun
Approach: (Bike) Then ride your bike (next to the Ackersbach) on the wide forest road for approx. 30 minutes (5.9 km) in the direction of Postalm to the bridge that leads over the Ackersbachklamm gorge (758 m, WGS84, 47°32`52 "N, 13°20`32 "E). The entry is just after the bridge on the left over the Gerbach tributary which flows into the Ackersbach here.
Tour: The Ackersbachklamm is a beautiful, short and mostly very aquatic lime canyon with very clean water. At high water levels, the canyon should not be underestimated as almost all rappels are in the watercourse. Some deep pools can also be jumped after inspection. As with the nearby Zinkenbach and Gerbach, the emergency drill set should not be missing in this remote and rarely visited canyon. On very sunny days, you can also enjoy a wonderful swim/barbecue at the exit.)

Rio Sbrici: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot go rather in the direction of the entrance to the village until you find the well signposted beginning of path 620. Follow the red arrows through the houses. From the parking lot you stay on the well-marked path 620 for about 50 min. You can see partly already into the canyon of Sbrici. After 50 min you come to a very well signposted turnoff (at the picnic area with a wooden table). Here you turn right onto path 621. The path is initially still well marked, but in 2021 there was a strong windthrow here and so many trees were lying across the path during our walk. Partially, the path has also slipped and you have to cross a few adventurous gravel crossings. Especially when you approach the entry of the Rio Sbrici, the path becomes more adventurous and the whole slope is extremely vulnerable to falling rocks. The whole thing is exacerbated by the fact that there are many ibexes and chamois in the area, which also repeatedly loosen stones above you. However, after another 30min - 40 min one is at the entry of the Sbrici. (N46.418725;E013.355584)
Tour: The Rio Sbrici begins very alpine at the top and is very narrowly cut. Especially in the upper part, however, the rock quality is moderate, which means that you should always have an emergency bolting kit with you. The anchors are partly not always obviously attached, because the rock quality has not allowed everywhere to set the hooks optimally. After 2:45 you come to the only emergency exit on the right, which leads back up to path 620. This is the only emergency exit in the whole canyon and especially in the upper part there are few possibilities to get to safety. After the emergency exit, the Rio Sbrici changes into a typical Friulian canyon with clear water and beautiful pools and some nice rappels. After a collapsed dam and water drainage, the highest waterfall follows - a 35m vertical waterfall into a beautiful pool. Then you are also soon at the exit of the canyon, you come directly in the stream to a small ruin and about 150m comes in from or. left a dry streambed, where the trail to Chiout Cali begins.

Access: Drive south on the SS13 from Austria and at Chiusaforte turn left into the Raccolana Valley. Stay on the SP76 road for about 6.2km until you reach the small village of "Saletto". At the entrance to the village, stay on the SP76, then you will pass a bus stop and just behind it - on the left - is the bridge over the Raccolana. Turn left here. Follow the road for about 800m into the small collection of houses "Chiout Cali" over the bridge of the Rio Malimberg. It is best to park here by the Rio Malimberg so that the residents of Chiout Cali are not disturbed. If you want to check the water, you can stay on the road for about 200m and walk down the path for about 5-10 min to Rio Sbrici. Coordinates of the lower parking lot (N46.405550; E013.371185) Take the shuttle car back to "Saletto", turn right at the bridge over the Raccolana river and go back down the Raccolana valley, as you did before. From Saletto you go out of the valley for 3,6km passing by the "Cascate Repepeit" (waterfall on the left side of the valley) until you turn right before the bridge over the Raccolana towards "Chiout Micheli"/ "Patocco" (signposts are on the left side before the turn, a very sharp entrance when you go out of the valley). Follow the road uphill for 4.6km, through the tunnels, past Chiout Micheli to Patocco. There is a large parking lot, which is often very crowded in summer, because it is a very nice starting point for hiking (N46.405900; E013.352400). For the transfer of the vehicle you have to calculate about 20min-30min.
Return: About 100m after a ruin directly in the streambed comes from the left a small stream that is often dry pure. Here begins the path back into the forest to the village Chiout Cali where the car was parked. Just follow the path slightly uphill for 5 min.

Approach: From the parking lot go uphill on the road towards Buttea, until after about 100m a forest road on the right leads into the forest. Follow the road downhill for about 200m to Chiantone.
Tour: Once in the streambed of the Chiantone, there is first a small walking passages, before it goes blow-on-blow. The first rappel is made from a block on the left side around which a rope with a majon link is placed. After that the canyon is equipped with Canyon-Pro stances. I.e. with glued anchors and in most places chain anchors. Furthermore, there is an SOS plaque at every rappel point from this point on. At the SOS point 21 a rope traverse should be tightened on the left side, before one comes to the chain anchor from which one can rappel without water danger. From this point on, for the next 2.5 - 3 hours, there is practically no possibility to get to safety, since the Chiantone is an extremely narrow canyon. There are 4 rappel points in a row, where at C25 (SOS 18) you rappel directly in the water stream. There follows a longer walking and swimming section in which the canyon is not wider than one meter for a long time and the walls rise up to 50m on the left and right. After that you come to the highest rappel point (SOS 16) which is a bit stupid to reach because it is a hanging belay. That is, there are several lugs on which you hook the self-belay to get to the chain anchor. For this, the ropes can be pulled off very well. Another 5 rappels follow, interrupted by smaller walking and swimming sections, before you see daylight again after about 2.5 - 3 hours when the Chiantone flows into the Vinadia. Unfortunately, the Chiantone is always very littered, because sometimes garbage is thrown into the Chiantone from the bridge at the parking lot. If you do not mind, however, the Chiantone offers a canyon experience that there is rarely in the kind and length in Friuli, because extremely dark, quite aquatic and also with beautiful rappelling places. Arrived in the Vinadia follows a small abseil SOS 10 followed by a longer walking passages, before you come after about 3h to the water drainage, which can be used if necessary via the shaft (see special features) after previous grid check as an exit. The water drainage is reached after about 3 hours and is the only emergency exit possibility in the whole tour. Now follows the beautiful lower part of Vinadia (Vinadia II). Crystal clear water, which you would not expect after the derivation, coupled with several small rappel, which can be partially jumped. Unique scenery as the canyon narrows to as little as a meter in places with about 100m-150m walls above you. After several small rappels with jumps paired with swims, walks and climbs, you come to the highest rappel in the canyons: a 30m rappel from a chain anchor. Partially, in the lower part, the former via ferrata must be used as anchor. For almost 2h you are in the narrow part, where you have practically no possibility to get out or get to safety. In June or July in stable weather, however, sensational, as light also penetrates to the bottom of the canyon again and again. A somewhat longer walking passage, where the canyon becomes increasingly open, ends one of the most scenic canyons in Friuli. The dry streambed can be left or. left on a gravel road that leads to the former stone custom.

Access: From the large oval traffic circle in Tolmezzo, turn onto the SS52 in the direction of Ampezzo. Stay on the SS52 for about 4.2 km until you pass the Vinadia canyon. At km 16/III turn onto the SP125 in the direction of the village of Vinadia. Stay on this road for approx. 700m until you pass a house on the right ("Legnonlandia"), where you can park alongside the driveway (see picture). If several cars are available, most of them should park in the lower parking lot, because a maximum of 2 cars should park in the Chiantone parking lot. (N46,4103890/E012,9669440) Take the shuttle car back to the SS52 and turn left towards Tolmezzo. After 2.3km, take the exit towards "Canvea" on the SS52 and then turn left (drive through the underpass of the SS52). After 200m, turn right and follow the road for 1.2km.

Rio Ponte de Muro: Parking Entry and Exit
2025-08-08: Nice tour with kids. A lot of canyon for 10 min access. Everything ok ...cold as usual
2025-07-24: Well equipped. Two unnecessary, slanted loose screws. Cold water, as always.
2025-07-19: Short but surprisingly beautiful.
Access: On the A23 freeway, take the Pontebba exit. Follow the SS13 for about 6 km in the direction of Udine, until you cross a bridge with a slight left turn, which bridges the Rio Ponte de Muro. In the valley you can see a large railroad bridge that connects 2 tunnels and also crosses the Rio Ponte de Muro. Here you can park directly after the bridge next to the road SS13. Attention do not block the exit of the house! Parking: N46.461656 E013.295242
Return: Just below the road bridge (SS13) on the right, a short steep climb to the parking lot.

2025-08-08: Nice tour with kids. A lot of canyon for 10 min access. Everything ok ...cold as usual
2025-07-24: Well equipped. Two unnecessary, slanted loose screws. Cold water, as always.
2025-07-19: Short but surprisingly beautiful.
Approach: Go back over the bridge over the SS13 and follow the asphalt road on the left (at the hiking sign) briefly uphill. (Water pipe under the railroad bridge visible from below). Immediately at the first (right) bend follow the hiking trail 428 and not the road from the video-monitored power plant! The trail leads above the canyon and parallel to the road slightly uphill. After a short ascent, the trail leads across the canyon to the other side. Here then go up again briefly through the forest to the small weir step with water drainage. Entry orographically on the right at about 570m (N46.462745 E013.286961). Please stay on the hiking trail --> otherwise trouble with the power plant operator.
Tour: Directly at the dam wall is or. left at a large rock the first ring from which you rappel about 15m into a large pool. The ropes should be extended to overcome the next pool from this abseiling point. After that follows a small downclimb and walking passages. You come to a large clamping block that forms a natural bridge for the hiking trail that you climbed before. Here the canyon narrows and you come to the most beautiful part of the canyon, a rappel of about 17m directly in the water (optionally on the left outside the water flow) into a small cave-like passage. This is followed by a small 5m rappel or. left before you come to a large rock, where the next rappel ring is somewhat hidden behind it. This is followed by 2 rappels directly in the water and a nice little narrow downclimb and walk passage. After the last rappelling point follows another small block chaos over which must be climbed down, before you are already back under the railroad bridge. The canyon is best left on the right side directly below the road bridge at about 470m.

Sulzlbach: Canyon Start
2023-07-15: All bolts/chains are present according to the topo "Tiroler Schluchtenführer". At abseil No. 7, a Rapel Guide or Circuit Ferme is advantageous or necessary at a high water level (bolts are present at...
Approach: Directly at the old youth hostel, you can descend into the stream before the tour and then check the water level 10 minutes upstream at the last high 25m + 8m cascade. After the check, the best way up is via the forest road right next to the youth hostel (signposted "Stierboden, Sulzlbachalm"). After the panoramic tunnel holes, continue to the wooden cross. Here, immediately turn left onto a cow path and descend to the stream (small wooden bridge) at approx. 1280m.
Tour: The tour starts just below the Sulzlbachalm, which is open in summer, at the small wooden bridge. After a walking and climbing section (approx. 200m) comes the first of many abseiling sections up to a maximum height of 10m, which are usually mastered without any major problems. Between the abseils in the upper half, there are always short walking and downclimbs. The further you descend, the more the canyon narrows and the difficulty increases. The abseils are all well placed. However, caution and clean rope work are required in the sometimes very aquatic and current-rich pools! Two striking 25m abseils with large pools (1x in the middle and 1x at the end) are the key points of the tour. If you don't have a good feeling at the last high cascade (25m+ 8m), you can descend orographically left to the flat streambed (at approx. 1200m) via a fixed rope and old maintenance climb.

Roßgumpenbach: Canyon Start
2025-09-07: Wirklich eine wunderschöne Genusstour mit super Aussicht. Leider sehr viel Geschiebe im Bach, somit waren nur zwei Gumpen springbar. Das Cafe Uta am Rückweg bietet sehr gutes Essen !
2024-06-28: Very high water level, so we got out after the walking passages in the middle. Until then all anchors were in top condition.
2023-10-13: Temperature top - many jumps possible - anchorages all in order - dreamlike tagl
Approach: From the (orographically on the right) hiking site in Holzgau, walk past the fountain in the direction of the suspension bridge. The wide forest road leads flat along the Höhenbach stream to the Simms waterfall, where a small via ferrata has also been set up. Here it becomes steep for a short time. After the Simms waterfall, the forest road leads on a slight incline past a hut (1236m) to the lower Roßgumpen Alm. Shortly before the alp (at the wooden bridge at 1330m) you can see the final waterfall (water level check). Behind the Roßgumpenalm a steep access path (approx. 45min) leads to the upper (not managed) alp. Directly in front of the alp you enter the stream at about 1680m. When accessing by MTB, the access time is reduced to about 1h15min.
Tour: The Roßgumpenbach is one of the most beautiful canyoning tours in Außerfern. However, the openness and many exit options can quickly lead to overconfidence. The tour should not be underestimated because of the alpine character and the cold water. Prerequisites are stable weather and not too high water level! With sufficient experience and condition, it is a casual full-day tour that is very continuous, except for a few walking and downclimb passages. After checking the water depth, some steps (especially in the upper part) can be slid or jumped. In the lower part, the canyon becomes more demanding and the rappels higher, but are not a problem if the water level is not too high. The canyon remains open until the 45m final waterfall with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

Approach: Behind the barn (gravel parking place), follow the forest road downhill to the right to the first hairpin bend (the path from the exit on the right also comes up here). Take the left-hand path (path 432) up to the hunter's stand. If you follow the right-hand path at the fork at the Jägerstand, you will reach the lowest part of the canyon. To get to the upper part of the canyon follow the path to the left past the hunter's stand. Then keep right along the canyon into the Hochalptal. Shortly after the middle Hochalpe at approx. 1540m, descend into the streambed (spring runoff).
Tour: The first half in the Hochalpbach is open and discontinuous with small steps that can be slid, jumped or rappelled (up to max. 12m). The second half (from badge no. 7) is then more vertical, more incised and technically more demanding. Some rappels are directly in the water with a powerful shower and should not be underestimated at higher water levels. Four approx. 25m abseils, interrupted only by small steps, follow each other without much distance. After the last abseiling point, there are a few small steps that can be jumped or downclimbed depending on the water depth. To avoid annoying the fishing association, the tour exits at approx. 1140m before the last 6m step into the Lech.

Wiesbach: Canyon Start
2025-09-08: nice route. Rope after the first abseil and rope to get to the rock hole are badly damaged, need replacement.
2025-08-31: Beautiful, but extremely short canyon (you walk longer than you are in the canyon). Extremely many stands and fixed ropes.
2025-07-05: All stands good, no jumps possible, entry and exit easy to find, fixed ropes for optional route through the rock hole damaged.
Approach: From the parking lot, briefly follow the road back to the bridge and then continue along the cycle path downstream until you reach a yellow signpost "Moos, Baichlstein". From here, follow the wide forest road slightly uphill to a beautiful viewpoint with a wooden bench. Directly after the bend with the wooden bench, a small path leads down to the streambed on the right. Entry at approx. 1020m.
Tour: The tour is very short and is commercially accessible, but is still worthwhile. After a short section of walking terrain, the canyon narrows and the first well-secured abseiling points in the water appear. Thanks to fixed ropes and good belays, most of the steps can be negotiated safely even at higher water levels. If the pools are not currently covered in gravel, a few small steps can also be slid. The highlight in the middle of the gorge is a 90° left-hand bend with a rock hole. This is also the highest rappel point (16m) in the water jet (can also be rappelled dry through the rock hole if the water level is high. After the highest abseil point, there are three smaller steps of max. 7m before the canyon exits much too quickly.

2025-07-05: Next time we take the forest road to the feeding station as an access route (because of nettles and balsam), short rappel canyon with a fine view.
Approach: From the parking lot, walk past the sports field to the Lech. Cross the slightly swinging metal suspension bridge. Directly after the bridge you are already at the exit of the tour. From here, about 20m orographically to the left of the stream, steep climbing tracks lead up the sparse forest to a steep rock face. Hike around the rock face on the right until you reach a small steep passage with old wooden stamps. Shortly after the steep passage, you come to a forest road that leads to the left to a game feeding station. From here, the trail zigzags steeply uphill again over climbing tracks until you cross the open terrain to the stream (further ascent to the second forest road is not worthwhile).
Tour: After the steep access, the short tour offers a beautiful view of the Lech and two beautiful 25m abseils in the upper part of the canyon. After short walking terrain in the middle of the canyon, the lower part follows, which also has more slippery abseils in the vegetation-rich surroundings. The abseils (16-25m) follow each other without a long stretch before you reach the Lech cycle path.

2025-05-14: All stands in very good condition, but in some cases only one anchor point. Very beautiful canyon with fantastic views.
2024-08-31: all stands ok
Approach: From the parking lot, cross the nearby bridge. If you want to check the water level briefly, follow the cycle path (gravel) to the right after the bridge for 5 minutes. Then go back to the bridge and follow the asphalt mountain road (no driving) to the left in the direction of "Häselgehralm". After a rightward haipin bend, the road leads over a bridge (Häselgehrbach). This is followed by a leftward haipin bend with a cross. From here it is not far until you come more or less straight to the stream. The entry point is at approx. 1090m directly by the wooden beams (bridge) that lead over the Häselgehrbach.
Tour: Apart from a short walking passage in the upper part, the canyon is very continuous. Depending on the depth of the water, some steps can also be slid or jumped. The canyon is technically not too difficult, but should not be underestimated at higher water levels, as you often have to rappel in the water jet and the rock is usually very slippery. Several small, beautiful washouts/chokepoints and the max. 25m high abseils in combination with the short access are ideal for a casual half-day tour.

Approach: The path "540" begins to the right of the information board and heads NW. The first part has been closed since 2024 due to a landslide, continue briefly on the road, then take the sand road to the right (marked). Follow the hiking trail until you reach a saddle after 1h45min. A few meters below the saddle, a small path begins that leads south to a dilapidated hut. Continue south, descending pathlessly through the forest until you reach a dry streambed.
Tour: First descent in the dry streambed (possibly tree rappels). Then 4 rappels before you stand in front of 55m break. Securing exposed and high attached - handrail stretch over clamping block. Under the waterfall another rappel before it goes over many downclimbs (including small jumps & slides) to the dam. In this area you meet the remains of two wooden huts.

Return: see red creek

Valle Santa Maria: Canyon Start
Approach: Cross the two streams and follow the marked trail through beautiful deciduous forest to a crossroads. On the right, follow the signs 'Biv. Gervasutti' descending to the streambed, cross the stream and hike shortly to the SE to a forest road, follow the forest road briefly and then descend again to the streambed. In the current tabaccomap the old path is still marked - however, this path has been abandoned. Climb steeply up the western bank and in a long left turn climb about 200m until the path descends into Valle Santa Maria. Soon steeply up again until the valley widens - here you can downclimb for the first time over a streambed coming from the left. Branch off from the path at about 1290m.
Tour: About 15 minutes of hiking/downclimbing until the valley narrows into a gorge. From here there is no escape route. This is followed by 8 rappels (max. 6m) of hourglass slings or 6mm rock bolts with 2 chain links before the gorge opens up briefly and you can exit on the right via a path marked with cairns. Two more beautiful waterfalls follow, the first of which leads briefly through the water jet. The canyon then exits and you soon reach the hiking trail from the access point.

2025-05-15: All good, only one tree still clearly in the way at one point. Basin deeper than last year. Thanks for the good work, very slippery this year!
Approach: We take the forest road that starts at the chapel and goes up in a southwesterly direction ("Rotwandalm"). After 450 m we pass a track that branches off to the left, keep straight on. After another 650 m we come to another fork and stay right here. A little later we come to the bridge over the Taschbach. Immediately after the bridge, we go down to the right on indistinct tracks to the stream.
Tour: The access is after the "slide", which can not be slid. This is followed by a river walk with a large number of smaller steps, which can usually be slid or jumped.

Turn left over the top of the dam and continue on the B 307 until you reach the branch of the B307 coming from Tegernsee via Kreuth (29 km to this point). After a few hundred meters we pass the old border station on the right and after 1.7 km we come to the "Hagen" inn, which is located north of the road. We cross the Walchen and turn right after the bridge towards a chapel. There we can park our car in a parking lot for hikers. If we are coming up from the Inn Valley, we pass the Achensee and Achenkirch on the B 181. 6.8 km after Achenkirch we reach the destination indicated above.

Rio Marzolo - Val Grande: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car we keep half-left up over the stream. Passing the houses we take a forest road, which we ascend on the orographic. right side relatively close to the stream. For a shortcut we can take an inconspicuous path that later rejoins the track. About 120 meters above the starting point in the valley, a path branches off to the right - somewhat hidden - and leads on a narrow band through steep crags (partly exposed) into the stream.
Tour: In front of you, you have the last (7) interesting rappels and avoid an elaborate and unattractive access from the top.

Return: When the opportunity arises, out to the right and down to the car.

Rio Marzolo - Val Grande: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Lago d'Idro on the SS 237 or from Riva del Garda on the SS 240 via Storo continue up the valley of the Fiume Chiese on the SS 237. About 2,5 km after the traffic circle where the road from Storo meets the SS 237, we come - still before the village of Condino - to a traffic circle again. Here we leave the SS 237 and at the second exit of the traffic circle we take Via Roma, which would lead us first through an industrial area and later on to the center of Condino. However, after only 300m we turn right, cross under the SS 237 for 180m and then, after a left turn, continue parallel to the SS 237 in a NNO direction. About 1 km after the underpass, the road bends to the right and crosses the Fiume Chiese. Here we park the car.
Return: When the opportunity arises, out to the right and down to the car.

Giessenbach (oberer): Canyon Start
2025-09-01: If you want to walk the upper part you have to be prepared for long walking passages. Take a drill with you in the narrow section where a pick has been torn out
Approach: Continue on foot along the forest road along the Gießenbach stream. After about 500 m we see the short (only 100 m long) Hintere Gießenbachklamm gorge on the right below the road. After 800 m (from the parking lot) the Alpbach flows into the Giessenbach from the left, we continue along the Giessenbach and after almost 2 km we reach the Naturfreundehaus Gießenbachhütte. We continue straight ahead for about 100m, then the forest path exits at a somewhat confusing fork into several paths. This is where we climbed up the steep slope above the Gießenbach stream on the right. However, various topo maps also show a path (not verified) which, after crossing the Giessenbach stream, climbs up the opposite orographic right-hand slope to an altitude of 1200 m, then runs roughly horizontally in a basically westerly direction, and after crossing the 3rd stream (according to the map) leads down to the right into the gravel bed of the upper Giessenbach stream (entry at 1140 m altitude). Continuing along the northern slope above the Giessenbach, the hunters path, which is also somewhat exposed at times, also leads us up to an altitude of around 1200 m. At about the point where the path emerges from the sparse forest onto the meadows above, we take a track that runs horizontally along the slope and then descend on sight into the wide gravel bed of the Giessenbach stream. We enter the stream at the same point as the access from the opposite side.
Tour: First we walk almost horizontally in the wide streambed until we reach the first drop. At the time (2006), there was a pack of ibex in the gravel bed, which was not impressed by our arrival and only climbed up the slope for about 10 m to let us pass.\n\nThere are now running sections, rappel passages and a few rappels. The last one is the highest at around 30 - 35 m (estimated from memory). After that, you walk down the stream for about 500 m and then - where the access route crosses the stream - turn left onto the forest path on which we started.

Exit Kiefersfelden, after a good 1.2 km turn left at the T-junction (direction town center and Kufstein) and after 450 m on Rosenheimer Straße turn right at the next traffic light into Thierseestraße. Now drive 3.1 kilometers (from the traffic lights) - narrow-gauge tracks alternately accompany the road - until a road branches off to the right up to Breitenau. Here we go up to the right, past the farmhouses on the left, the tarred road becomes a slope, on the left below lies the Schopperalm, we pass the fork in the road, (2.7 km from the start of the ascent - junction Thierseestraße -). At the fork in the road we see yellow signposts ("Rechenau" or "Hintere Gießenbachklamm"). Here we park the car for the entry into the middle Gießenbachklamm. However, we continue, following the signs "Hintere Gießenbachklamm 40 min". After a total of 4.4 km from Thierseestraße, we come to the hikers' parking lot at the exit of the - up to here permitted - forest road.
Return: Passing the Naturfreundehaus we return, if we feel like it we quickly climb through the Hintere Gießenbachklamm, then follow the forest road again to the parking lot.

Approach: At the house just mentioned, a cart path begins on the left side, which you follow until you reach a junction with a second cart path. The right path you follow for about 100m, then you have to look for the descent into the Rußbach (south direction) itself through the forest. Unfortunately, there is no recognizable path here, but the stream itself cannot be missed.
Tour: Once in the streambed, you come to the first rappel over 7m. Then you follow the stream over a long stretch (caution extremely slippery!). You come to two small pools, the second can be jumped, otherwise you can bypass left. This is followed by a small rappel and a beautiful place with two large pools in which is rappelled. A 20m drop leads to another hiking section. One arrives at an 18m high rappel point where previously downclimbed over a small rock step. After two more small rappels on the left is the last exit possibility over scree up to the cart path that leads to the Postalmstraße. Whoever completes the next 4m jump must descend completely. Now the Rußbach becomes really southern French. Three times you rope down over long distances into the increasingly narrow depths. The stances are sufficiently set up. After three more short waterfalls, you come to an impressive dome with a large pool and clamping block. A small rappel is followed by a somewhat unpleasant climbing section. Now you are at the junction of the route LeadershipExpressCanyon which leads down over the overhangs of the orographic left side. Following the Rußbach, you reach a C5 waterfall that can be rappelled downclimbed when there is little water, or rappelled from a chain on the right side. At the following blocking, a fixed rope is set up to help with the descent. After some boulders, which are all rappelled down, you reach again a fixed rope over which you rappel 5m. The canyon ends with some nice swimming passages, from which it still takes about 20 min to reach a torrent.

Russbach: Canyon End

Hetzgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: With the bike you go, as already described the Reichramingbach along, until you branch off at the Maieralm over a bridge to the right in the direction of Annerlsteg (written). There arrived one crosses 3 tunnels. After that you turn to the right. After two more tunnels you come to a bridge. Here, or a little further along the forest road, you can park your bikes. Caution. This forest road is not open for cyclists, so you have to hide your bikes well. At the bridge several forest roads cross. The one that initially leads to the SW is followed steeply uphill to the saddle to the Hetzgraben, and further downhill to the second prominent valley. After about 100m a small path leads down to the Hetzgraben. This is not easy to find, but you can just as well make your own way through the forest to the Hetzgraben.
Tour: No wetsuit is needed for the first 500 meters. You simply follow the streambed to the first pool. It begins with a 6m rappel, followed by a slippery passage that can be climbed around (bolts on the left). At the next rappel point, no piton or the like was found at the time of the author's ascent. Probably this has been covered by leaves, so it is worth looking for it. Otherwise, the normal piton on the right side can be used (be sure to check with a hammer). Some small pools and a tree trunk blocking lead to a slide which has to be rappelled down (C7). A blockage follows (C4) and a nice small slide into a pond. Here the canyon becomes very narrow for the first time. A 10m rappel ends in a pond, followed by a passage that can be climbed around to the left to reach the pitons that allow rappelling to the prominent tree trunk. On a chain you rappel 10m into a long pond followed by more ponds and blockings. You reach an abseil point about 2 meters high (prominent tree). Until you reach the next rappel (C6), you have to overcome some blockages through trees. After that, there are again some pools and blockages until you reach a section where the stream disappears into the ground for a short time. Here is the largest rappel point of 17m, followed by a blockage and a rappel point over 6m. After another blockage and you come to an old hermitage. Two tree trunks wedged at a height of about 20 meters and chutes cut by hand in the rock walls remind us of the hard times of the timber drift. Rocky passages and tree trunk blockages alternate until you reach a 5-meter-high rappelling point with a prominent tree trunk. Two more blockages have to be overcome before you reach a chain on the right side that takes you 9m deeper. After a few boulders you reach the last rappel point in a pool. From here you have to follow the stream for another half hour until you reach the wheels. But even this part is still very scenic.

Alpbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Take the cable car up and head east towards Kanisalpe until you reach a bridge after just under 30 minutes. Now 2 minutes along the stream to the entry. On foot (without using the cable car) from the parking lot towards Kanisfluh, after 1500 m turn right towards Hofstätten. At Hofstätten turn right towards Mittagsspitze, then you come to the bridge described above (approx. 2 hours).
Tour: The upper part has an alpine character, whereby an exit would be very difficult. At A1 it is recommended to build a Rappel Guide to the fixed ropes (steel rope). It is very slippery here and on the left you are pushed against the rock by the water. Advantageous with 2A Rappel. Bypass the A4 large block on the left then traverse to the right and build a rope traverse to the belay.the middle part is open and easy to walk on.exit options everywhere. The lower part begins where the canyon narrows again; the last emergency exit to the left is also possible here. After 4 rappels you come to the main section, the 70 m waterfall (wall book) which can be overcome with 2x rappels (10m/60m) or 3x rappels (10m/35m/30m). After another 4 abseils you reach the exit of the tour.

Alpbach: Canyon End
Return: It is essential to pay attention to leave the streambed after about 300 m to the left (block) and follow an old path, later on the edge of the meadow to the goods road, then left back to the parking lot.

Starzlachklamm: Canyon Start
2025-06-25: Upper entry to the rappel through the waterfall is possible again. Crossing to the rappel Narrow section after the rappel on the cave can only be passed individually Everything else tip top
2025-06-15: All pools free, high rappel at the top not yet possible due to breeding birds. All anchors tip top.
2023-10-02: Canyongeist- Rudi also lets private gehger through without registration...but for 4€ per head.
Approach: From the parking lot, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the entrance to the Klammsteig on a well-maintained hiking trail. Here you can buy an entrance ticket (2007: 2,50 ¤) and continue along the path through the canyon until the path forks at the exit. Turn right over the wooden bridge and continue for about 100 m until you reach a bench on the orographic left side of the stream.
Tour: At the first waterfall, there is no need to rappel through the water, even if it looks very unpleasant from below. If there is a lot of water, the narrow channel in the middle section may be tricky and you may have problems reaching the safety hook at the top left. The small waterfall below forms a siphon with the rock above, which can be jumped from after checking the underwater. Approach the final waterfall in the narrow chute on the right. For the long final slide, place your backside on the left-hand side of the edge of the swim pit, right on a slightly protruding nose, to get the best possible entry into the elevated bends. Even then, however, the slide is not controllable, the impact is usually broadside directly on the edge of the gorge below the rock, but landing on the rock and sliding into the water is also no problem. The gorge has the status of a natural monument and may not be entered before May 15th due to the dipper breeding season. The gorge is also heavily frequented commercially.

Mühlgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: Access via the marked descent from the Falkenstein via ferrata or via the via ferrata itself (D/E or C/D). From the gorge exit briefly into the canyon and then steeply on the orographic left side of the gorge to a ridge above the gorge. Then descend in pastureland to the start of the gorge. Alternative route: 2nd car access to the Falkensteineralm.
Tour: After some very woody downclimbs you are in front of a very nice 18m rappel (glued anchor right), The next two low steps can be rappelled. At the next two abseils formed by clamping wood, anchors are missing - the steeper first should be re-secured, because the tape loop around the rock as well as the ancient lug are not trustworthy, the second can be downclimbed. After a few steps you reach an open rock basin. Here it is essential to use the orographic right tree as rappelling point - the rappelling routes from the sling on the left leads over an extremely unstable tree entanglement. Two nice rappels (15m, 25m) lead to the canyon exit. Beautiful limestone tuff deposits at the higher waterfalls.

Mühlgraben: Parking at Exit
Access: Follow the B23 from Neuberg a.d. Mürz in the direction of Mariazell. Park at a wood storage area about 500m after passing the small village of Krampen on the left.

Surcruns: Canyon Start
Approach: Arrived in Bargis (1550m altitude) we follow the road still over the Turnigla bridge and then take the slope up to a hut at 1860m altitude (up to here without problems also with MTB, which would then be immediately ready again at the exit). From here we take the path further up, cross a little later "our" stream at its exit and then climb in serpentines always staying on the orographic left side of the stream to about 2100m altitude. Here we do not take the path to the left over the stream, but remain on its orographic left side and climb about 35 meters in a northerly direction. Then the path turns sharply to the right and we continue to climb in a southeasterly direction. After a left turn we come to Alpe Surcruns at 2250m. We continue pathless, slightly ascending, crossing the stream rippling down from the north and round the altitude "2354". Subsequently, we keep towards our stream at about 2300m altitude. If we orientate ourselves a little bit upwards and still cross the two left source streams, we can finally enter the orographic left source stream at an altitude of about 2390m.\n\nTill 2015 there was also a somewhat more pleasant approach variant via cable car to the Fil de Cassons (2634m altitude) and from there via the Fuorcla Raschglius into the large basin below Trinserhorn/Piz Dolf always with a slight downward slope, until one reaches the ascent path from Bargis at 2100m. However, the railroad has stopped its operation in Feb. 2016.
Tour: 4 parts set apart from each other. The first two relatively short, the next longer, with the stream increasingly notched. About 20 rappels in all, lots of downclimbing. Where the canyon opens, we get out onto the meadow and walk down the edge of the creek to the bridge.

Surcruns: Canyon End
Return: On the (possibly marching) way down to Bargis.

Approach: We cross the bridge and turn right before the tunnel onto the former road, which is now closed to traffic. We walk along it in an easterly direction towards the Rio Gallego. Where it bends to the north, we later come back up over the rocks. For the time being, we continue on the dirt road to the tunnel exit on the other side of the A-136. Continue on the A-136 for about 50 m, then look to the right on the slope below us for tracks that indicate a possibility of roping down trees into the canyon - just before the most interesting part. Alternatively, you can continue along the river - again on the former road - until you reach a bridge below the dam wall. There you can easily climb up without using a rope.
Tour: The canyon is impressive due to the close proximity of the huge rock faces. A tributary from the left ("Articabuena"?) may bring running water for the first time. Here we also come to the only rappel point which, depending on the water flow, can be rappelled close to the stream (12 m) or further up the left wall (15 m). A series of further pools follow until the canyon opens out in a large shallow pool.

Approach: From the parking lot descend by the bridge to the stream (830Hm).
Tour: At 30m rappel there is orographic right about in the middle of an intermediate stand from which the remaining part of the waterfall can be rappelled dry or from which can be jumped. The upper part of the canyon ends after a boulder chaos that is best downclimbed on the orographic right bank. To the left there is an emergency exit from the gorge (cairn and red color point). The lower part should also be done.\nVor and after the tour please call the power plant operator at +41 91 756 66 15. The Pontirone superiore is a long and deep granite gorge. The long walking sections are followed by short abseils, some of which are aquatic. After checking the water depth, several places can also be jumped. The water level should be estimated correctly before the ascent because in the middle part of the canyon there is a 30m narrow section/step which can be very unpleasant at higher water levels. At the 30m rappel there is orographic right about in the middle of an intermediate stand from which the remaining part of the waterfall can be rappelled dry or from which you can jump. In addition, one is for a long time in a very secluded environment.

Approach: Now follow all the signs until you reach the waterfall. Here you can judge the current water flow. Approx. 50 meters before the fall, a small path branches off on the orographic right-hand side, which then winds steeply up through the forest. It is easy to overlook the turn-off to the right over the rocky ledge back towards the stream (faded colored dots on the path). When the path levels out, you come back to the stream. This is the entry point to the canyon. You can also access the canyon via the forest road on the orographic left side of the stream: From the hikers' parking lot, follow the asphalt road uphill to an elevated reservoir, then ascend on the forest road over three hairpin bends where an overgrown forest road branches off to the left. Continue on this forest road until you are about 20 meters above the Saiherbach stream. Here you descend pathlessly to the stream, which you reach above a 15m step. You could also try descending from the viewpoint on the forest road (bench at the bottom left, forest road turns north) directly to the actual gorge entrance.
Tour: If you choose the access via the forest road, there are two more rappels: 15m from tree orographic left, then 6m from anchor with chain link orographic left in low gorge. At the first bolt there is a fixed rope that can be used. With a little skill, the next steps can be climbed without ropes. You come to a waterfall through which you inevitably have to rappel. Apart from the cold shower, however, it should not cause any difficulties. In extreme water conditions or with beginners, a Rappel Guidé can possibly be built (bolts at the second pool). Otherwise, the three pools (C6, C3, C4) can be rappelled in one. This is followed by a somewhat blocked abseil over 7 meters. At this point at the latest, you reach the sun and have a direct view of the Dachstein (escape option on the right). There are two ways to rappel the next step. Directly over the overhang, which is somewhat more spectacular, or further to the left, which is recommended for beginners. With a 55m rope (or longer) it is possible to rappel beyond the two pools to the last rappel. This is somewhat hidden behind a boulder on the left-hand side. A fixed rope at the beginning of the block makes access easier. The last abseil point is the crowning glory of the canyon. The 35m rappel is partly directly in the waterfall, partly in front of an audience, as the hiking trail passes below.

Access: Leave the Westautobahn at Regau, drive to Bad Ischl, do not exit into the center, but continue through a tunnel towards Salzburg. Take the first exit after the tunnel and after a few hundred meters you will come to a bridge over the Ischl. Cross it and after about one kilometer turn right. It is best to drive past the waterfall and use a parking lot for hikers to Jainzenberg. (Possibly also before at the roadside - but it is increasingly being built up / closed off) Then walk back to the waterfall for approx. 500m
Return: From the waterfall you return to the parking lot on the already known path.

Approach: Immediately to the right next to the small bridge a steep hiking trail goes into the forest --> after an iron gate it continues steeply uphill to about 518Hm --> here to the left (Steinmandl) --> along the hiking trail it goes up again --> to the left of the path large rock slab --> after a short time you come out of the forest and you have a beautiful view into the canyon. From here (danger sign) it goes down shortly to the creek (rope belay on the right in the steep terrain possible) --> entry at 480Hm.
Tour: Arrived at the stream you can already see the impressive granite boulders that you do not often get to see --> here comes a 20m rappel (overhanging) --> the downclimb you could also downclimb right --> next comes a 42m rappel, in the overhang with sharp edges below the boulder (very impressive) --> the next rappel or. Slides are to be enjoyed with caution (current and backflow danger) --> after the big clamping block (gigantic) are still some pools in very narrow canyon part --> by clear water, however, you always have a good view to estimate the places --> at the end you come from vertically towering rock walls in a flat wide stream gravel bed with the 2 bridges.

Bodengo III (Boggia III): Canyon Start
2025-07-15: Quite a lot of jumping and slides, but also a lot of downclimbing blocks. I like the 1 and 2 more. Water level picture attached from the bridge at the entry.
2025-07-04: Long day in there. Over six hours - with the swimming and boulder navigation really hurting our time. The anchors are all there, but they're only just okay. I was under the impression this was a pop...
Approach: 10min by car/ approx.1,5h on foot. From the gravel parking place at 820Hm follow the road for about 50m to the no motoring sign. Then follow the steep hiking trail to the left down to the old Roman bridge. Still before the bridge, go right in the forest, down to the stream. This tributary (Pilotera) meets Bodengo after a few meters. Entry at about 730Hm under the Roman bridge. Alternative: If you have only 1 car, you leave the car at the bottom near the power station. On foot you reach the hiking trail on the right side of the power plant fence over a steep slope. After checking the water level at the reservoir (on the left), go back along the path (towards the village) until you reach the first house of Gordona. Here the path D6 (compass map) leaves to the left. Follow this path up to the road. Then continue along the road until the gravel parking place on the left at 820Hm.
Tour: Near the beautiful old Roman bridge at an altitude of approx. 750 m, we start right away with a rappel into one of the countless pools of great depth. The canyon is sufficiently well equipped for an ascent, but you should still take emergency equipment with you. At most of the abseiling points that run directly into the water, rope traverses or alternative routes have been set up. Rope retrival is not always easy due to the clamping blocks and cracks in the rock (risk of rope jamming!). The bolts are often exposed due to the huge amounts of water. Many steps/abseils can be jumped or slid. However, the pools should be well scouted out beforehand! (Many accidents occur when jumping/sliding. See Facebook page of Pascal van Duin, "Canyoning val Bodengo"). The only drawback of this grandiose and unique canyon are the long granite block climbs between the beautiful passages. The path often has to be scouted in the blocked terrain. The highest abseils are in the last third of the canyon, where you come across reddish rock (there is also an emergency exit here). At the last abseil points, you will encounter 1 obvious water drainage on the left side with a narrow grid in front of it (possibly suction effect). In my opinion, safe even at higher water levels. ! Only the current from the waterfall will push more in this direction. If you want, you can also get out here via a ladder set up for maintenance work. The 2nd drainage is located, not obviously, on the right at the exit of the water basin, under water. The last 40m abseil point is right after the pool/cement wall. The rappel can also be divided (possibly 30m rappel + jump right down from the ledge). Then there is a small step and a 5m jump into the final pool at approx. 250m.

Access: On the SS36 from Lecco towards Chiavenna, just before Chiavenna, drive into the village of Gordona as far as the church. On the left behind the church there is a café where you have to buy a ticket for the private road for €7. Then go up a short hill to the right of the church. At the fork left, then sharp bends (at fork) right up. Turn left at the next fork. Follow the road (direction Pra Prince) and after a few meters and serpentine bends, you will come to a gravel parking place on the left at approx. 820m before a sharp bend on the right. After approx. 50m there is a no motorcycling sign (on the left) with signs for Mulattiera per Bodengo and Strada Carrozzabile per Bodengo.
Return: If you get out of the last pools on the left, you are directly in front of the parking lot (possibly shuttle).

2023-10-10: Anchors are in quite bad condition, must be redone, No water for most of gorge, Actually a good gorge when the other gorges have too much water. Would rate it v3a2III
Approach: Before the bridge, there is an inconspicuous path on the right into the forest, follow this until you pass a power station, follow the forest road until you reach a barrier, here follow the very steep path on the left until you reach a forest road (not the first one on the left side). Follow the road until it turns into a path, continue here, after about 200m you come to a small dam, get in here.
Tour: The first 350m you can easily go without neoprene.After that comes a mix of jumps, slides and rappel, always interrupted by some walking passages. After a 14m rappel in the lower part, the stream disappears completely for about 300m. Be careful when there is little water, leaving the pools can be very laborious! So take a good look at the individual places!

Beli Potok: Canyon Start
Comment: Départ Levi Skocniki (descente)
Approach: From the parking lot, cross the railroad bridge and turn right twice onto a forest road which you follow to Beli Potok. Continue up the wide streambed for approx. 300m until you reach the well-trodden access path on the right-hand side of the mountain (where the streambed divides into several branches). The path initially climbs steeply with several hairpin bends and then crosses the western slopes of the Beli Potok ditch, ascending more gently. After about 420m you reach the stream. The entry point for the Levi Skocniki is located exactly where the path meets the stream (wire sling on the right). To reach the entry to the Desni Skocniki, cross horizontally to the right for 100m until you reach a spring - the stream that rises from this spring forms the Desni Skocniki. A rocky outcrop on the right edge of the gorge offers a beautiful view of the first waterfall. To combine both gorges, the following exit options from the gorge are available: After the gorge orographic left over a damp slope into a saddle, continue laboriously over a streambed to the ascent path (walk carefully so as not to put undue strain on the spring vegetation on the slope). Possibly more pleasant and ecologically harmless: After the 9m waterfall of the second narrows, ascend on the right bank via climbing tracks to the eastern canyon rim and then back to the entry (path marked in Amap).
Tour: Desni Skocniki: After a 2m slide, you immediately start with a very impressive 40m rappel (rappel tree on the left). The 35m high main fall and the following 5m waterfall have to be rappelled in one go. After a short walking passages and a 4m rappel from a jammed tree trunk, the second high drop follows. Below a clamping block, you first descend 13m, then 25m into an impressive rock dome. It is better to rappel both steps from the top belay (40m). After several steps in a narrow gorge, the Levi Skocniki lead from the left. After two more abseils (the first can possibly be slid), the gorge opens up a little - the abseil sling for the first small abseil is hidden at the back on the right. This is followed by a two-meter jump and an awkward 15m slide. Normal pitons on the right halfway up the slide. Here is the first possibility on the left for the re-ascent out of the gorge to make the Levi Skocniki. Otherwise, three rappels/slides follow in a gorge before there is another possibility for the re-ascent on the right bank (climbing tracks after the mouth of the stream from the left). Those who have had enough follow the stream for another 500m (a few slides) to the last 20m waterfall, the exit of the canyoning tour. Levi Skocniki: After three waterfalls in a beautifully shaped low gorge, four higher waterfalls follow, each secured with chain anchors. Very impressive mouth into the dark gorge of the Desni Skocniki. The total duration indicated refers to the combination of Desni Skocniki, ascent, Levi Skocniki.

Approach: From the vehicle parked at the exit, return 100m to the last fork and now follow the signpost 'source petrifiante/Trou Blanc' on the "GR R 1 variant", crossing the slopes high above the Riviere du Mat. Before reaching the houses of Trou Blanc, there are 2 access options at a cross on the side of the path: Either descend to the right and then follow the path turning left to the entry at 'R1-bis' over a 50 m high vertical rock face with a transfer in the vertical (10/40 - hanging!). Or go straight on to the houses, then take the path branching off to the right down to the Rivier du Mat, where you come to the rappel 'R1' after approx. 300 m in the streambed. The highest rappel in this case is 18m, provided you stay in the streambed. The choice of access depends on whether the water flow allows an ascent of the attractive narrow section following R1. In case of doubt, the local guides recommend access via 'R1-bis' and usually do this themselves.
Tour: After the approach in the off. First an attractive narrow section, followed by slides and possible jumps, interrupted by a few rappels. There are several bypasses, one of which involves a 35m rappel. A topographic view is available at FFME (see links).

Leadership Express: Canyon Start
Approach: You descend from the parking lot directly into the Wieslergraben.
Tour: The first half of the Wieslergraben can be described as a hiking canyon. After a 6m waterfall and a walking section, you reach a 10m waterfall where the chain is located 10m further up on a rock wall. A slide follows, which only lives up to its name when there is a lot of water. You follow the stream until you reach a blocked waterfall where there is a rope on the right side that leads to a tree from which you can rappel. A 3m slide follows, where there is also a fixed rope, and some pools before the canyon suddenly becomes steeper and steeper. You come to a chain from which you can rappel over two waterfalls. The next cascade can be downclimbed on the right. Now you look further into the depth and rappel first 36m, then 17m (the latter can also be downclimbed on the right). This part of the canyon can be climbed even when the water level is high, and it is easy to get out here. You only have to follow the signpost to the "Blonden Hütte" and then follow the cart track uphill back to the Postalm road. \nWhen the water level is low, you can continue rappeling over the 140m high waterfall at several exposed stands into the RussbachCanyon. The most favorable abseiling combination is certainly to rush into the canyon in three stages with 2 x 50-meter ropes. The distances of the individual chain anchors can be taken from the topographic view.\nFollowing the RussbachCanyon, one reaches a C5 waterfall which can be rappelled downclimbed when there is little water, or from the right side from a chain. At the following blocking a fixed rope is set up, which can be helpful in the descent. After some boulders, which are all rappelled down, you reach again a fixed rope over which you rappel 5m. The canyon ends with some beautiful swimming passages, from which it takes about 20 min to reach a torrent.

Leadership Express: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: Wer sich die Mautkosten für die Postalmstraße sparen will kann sich rechts (Richtung Postalm) in eine kleine Straßenbucht stellen und beispielsweise mit dem Bike zu den Einstiegen der Postalm Canyons gelangen.
Access: By car on the Westautobahn exit at Regau, continue towards Salzburg and in Weißenbach (about 10 kilometers after Bad Ischl) exit towards Postalm (toll road 30.- per car and 40.- per person). Now one car can be parked in the first big rightward haipin bend at the exit. With the second car you continue the journey in the direction of Postalm. After the Braunalm on the left side of the road there is a small parking lot on the right side where the car is parked.

Rizeu: Canyon Start
2018-08-27: Setting up the hooks / rappelling stations and creating the topos
Approach: From here, a gravel road leads further up the mountain to a bridge. Here is the entry. Alternatively, not far before the bridge on the right a small footpath can be taken on which you can enter keeping left slightly below the bridge and skip the less interesting upper part. This path is probably private, so please be friendly to the residents and possibly rather take the upper entry at the bridge if someone feels disturbed.
Tour: See topographic view.

2018-08-27: Setting up the hooks / rappelling stations and creating the topos
Return: Where the Rizeu flows into the Moesa, the Moesa should be crossable in dry summers at the above-mentioned low water level. Following the river to the right, you then walk directly along the Moesa until you can take a well-trodden forest path along the river on the right over roots. This leads to an old hut. In front of the hut you look for a way up the forest until you meet an overgrown path with many stinging nettles and blackberries that leads gently uphill in the direction of the main road and highway. It ends shortly after a fountain at a fence with a gate through which you reach the highway and follow it to the right to the parking lot and back to the first car.

Approach: Follow the road for about 80m until a forest road branches off to the left, which you follow for about 2km until you reach a bridge.
Tour: After the bridge, you can already see the first abseil bolt and enter the stream on the orographic right bank. Further small rappels follow, then the high final waterfall. The belay is centered and drilled in well above the edge with a steel snapper. This beautiful, free-hanging rappel over approx. 40m is conquered in one go. First follow the stream and then take a narrow path to the left in the forest. After approx. 300m you come to an old bridge pillar where you descend into the stream again. After another 50 m, you will see a ladder (2025) and climbing tracks on the right leading to a path.

Approach: Follow the road for about 80m until a forest road branches off to the left, which you follow to the bridge over the Kobelach.
Tour: Follow the stream at a leisurely pace until it cuts in completely unexpectedly. Here you rappel to the left, not slide. The pool is not deep enough. It goes down in a narrow area over several smaller jumps and a 12m rappel. After about 45 minutes, the terrain becomes more open again and you come to a large pool that actually invites you to jump. But be careful, it needs to be checked. It keeps silting up! When you reach the dam wall, you are at the exit of Merlin's World. Exit the path on the right via a metal ladder and follow the path downwards to a small bridge. (Alternatively, you can rappel from the metal ladder over the dam). Alternatively, exit to the left before the dam wall. Here you come to several fixed ropes in the forest and finally to the hiking trail in the direction of Amannsbrücke. As an extremely nice rappel, you can abseil approx. 25m out of the window of the bridge (rappel point set up) onto an elevation (on the right) and jump from there to the test or you can descend to the left before the bridge and back into the Kobelache. The bypass on the left is definitely a worthwhile alternative. Here you path into the lower part. Once again, you first follow the open stream until it suddenly narrows again. Pass under a bridge to reach the first higher jump, which is reached via a fixed rope on the left. This is immediately followed by the highest jump of the tour, but caution is advised here too. The pond is not at the same depth everywhere! Be sure to check the next two jumps (S6, S3) marked on the topographic view. After a C6, more open terrain with slides and smaller jumps follows again. You reach the highest rappel point at 25m, where you can rappel from various stands. The most obvious and most beautiful is to rappel directly through the water (left belay), the easiest from the far right in the dry (you have to climb up a bit over a rock. The belay is towards the valley, not visible from above. If there is a lot of water, rappel here dry). Then it gets tight again and you come to the grand finale: a 3m slide exits in a 5m free fall. You plop gently into a huge dark pool, wonderful! (Alternatively, you can jump from above the slide at approx. 14 m, but cross the stream at a height of approx. 2 m before the slide. There is an anchor for a rope traverse on the orographic left side).

Rio Barbar: Canyon Start
Approach: First, as for Rio Lavarie: "From the car on the road back over the bridge. A few meters further, on the right, a track (barrier at the beginning) leads into the sparse forest. Walk this and it leads to the streambed exactly where the constriction begins." Here we cross the Rio Lavarie and climb up the far bank. We come across the indistinct remains of the old road here and follow it in an easterly direction. We cross two rivulets and follow the third down to Rio Barbar (entry).
Tour: After the boulder field, follow the mostly dry streambed for about 200m, then you come to the first pools that can be downclimbed or slid depending on the water depth. After a rappel from a tree on the right for about 5m, a rappel follows 20m to the right in a narrowing canyon. A short walking passages leads to a 3m jump and 2 more rappels (1x10m left from the tree and 1x15m right from the rock). After that comes a big clamping block and a short walking passages with 5m slide. On the next 5m rappel left follows a small rappel/downclimb of 3m which ends in a large pool (meeting with Rio Lavarie).

Return: Continuation in Rio Lavarie inevitable. See there!

Rio Barbar: Parking at Entry
Access: How to get to Rio Lavarie: "Leave the A 23 from Villach to Udine at the "Carnia" exit in the direction of Tolmezzo. After almost 1000 m and a traffic circle, you reach the SS 52, but do not follow it in the direction of Tolmezzo, but turn right onto it. Continue north-east for approx. 3200 m, then take the SS 13 and drive north-east (Chiusaforte, Tarvisio) for about 2 km until you reach the possibility to leave the SS 13 on the righthand side before the valley of the Rio Lavarie and park the lower vehicle on the old road. Take the second car back past the stores and the hotel in the direction of Udine. You will immediately come to the houses of Carnia. Here in the village, turn the car around and drive north again on the SS 13 until you can turn right (turning left from the original direction of travel is prohibited at this point). At the next T-junction, turn right and drive up the hairpin bends to Tugliezzo and continue straight on. The road makes a hairpin bend to the right and a few hundred meters further on you cross the Rio Lavarie. There is a parking area on the left shortly after the bridge."

Rindbachkaskaden: Canyon Start
Approach: from the forest road barrier upstream to the hiking trail that leads over a bridge over the stream; from there you can see into the canyon; continue until you can descend to the stream
Tour: I haven't been there yet, but it's probably more of a short canyon with some nice pools for jumping; I've seen abseiling points from above! In any case, take spits etc. with you, as the condition is unknown!

Wörschachklamm: Canyon Start
Approach: Climb the hiking trail from the Klamm parking lot. If you are not there very early, you have to pay 2.60 euros entrance fee. Continue along the path until you reach the upper exit of the canyon. Here is the entry.
Tour: The route is certainly not problematic. The pools are not particularly deep, but there is enough water. The rappel is about 10 m high, in between there are beautiful narrows and glacier mills to admire.

Approach: Always follow the forest road. This initially runs alongside the stream and then turns left after 500m up the slope. Alternatively, you can continue straight ahead (sign "Wasserfallrundweg"), after 50m (sign "Kreuzmauer") follow the path steeply uphill to the left until you reach the forest road again. At the next hairpin bend in the forest road, you can take a shortcut to the right along a steep path past a wayside shrine. Then flat through two tunnels, and then right along a forest road to the water extraction point. Climb in below the water extraction point.
Tour: Relatively open, sunny rocky gorge in the dolomite. The dam above takes almost all the water in summer. Very good and plentiful protection (chain anchors and bolts with fixed carabiners). In the upper part there are many small abseils and possibly small slides. When the canyon opens up, a short walking passages before a series of slides up to 2.5m leads to the final waterfall - a beautiful 25m waterfall with an audience.

Nixenfall: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the forest road to its exit, cross the streambed of the Weißenbach and reach a forest road. Follow this to the right (west) until you reach a small wooden hut where a cart track branches off to the left (south). Follow this path until you reach a signpost. Now you can either visit the final waterfall by following the path in the direction of the Nixenfall, or you can go directly to the entry in the direction of the Eibenberg. If you want to go straight to the entry, follow the ascending path until you reach a bridge where the entry is located.
Tour: The first small waterfall is immediately downclimbed orographically left. The second step leads to a blockage and the next pools. These must be bypassed on the left over the steep meadow, laborious and not without danger. Then you reach the first abseiling point. The next steps are again bypassed on the left and after a short hike and a small step, you reach the high point of the canyon. The Nixenfall is best rappelled in two stages, whereby the last belay directly in the waterfall is not to be used as an intermediate belay. Usually there is also a lot of tourists visiting the waterfall (and the canyoneers).

Nixenfall: Canyon End

Rio Di Bueda: Canyon Start
2024-08-04: Most of the anchors are outdated but still usable as the abseiling points have been double or triple drilled. However, emergency equipment (+ slings) is recommended. From the Römerbrücke bridge onward...
Approach: Follow the forest road slightly downhill to the stream. Entry just before the small bridge on the left at approx. 800m. (You could also descend steeply through the forest to the stream beforehand during access and thus save yourself some walking terrain in the streambed).
Tour: This rather rarely done tour begins with a (approx. 20-minute) river walk including small downclimbs before you reach the first of 11 abseils. Between the beautiful abseils (max. 20m) there are some slides, jumps and downclimbs with lots of walking terrain. The canyon is partly equipped with old bolts/slings (so pack some emergency equipment!). In the lower part, a hiking trail crosses the canyon via a Roman bridge. You could break off the tour here, but the path leads somewhat laboriously up to the road. After that, there are a few nice steps and an old water drainage that leads to the last artificial steps.

Access: From Tolmezzo drive north to Zuglio. In Zuglio, turn right and drive towards Fielis. Immediately after the bridge over the Rio di Bueda, park your shuttle car on the left. Then take the second car and follow the mountain road for 3.5 km to Fielis. You can park just after the village sign where a forest road (no driving) branches off to the left. (Hiking up via hiking trail possible approx. 1 hour)
Return: The last artificial steps are bypassed on the orographic right-hand side via an overgrown path. The path soon leads to the parking lot/bridge. Alternatively, you can rappel back down into the stream from the old railings and walk to the bridge.

Approach: The entry is only 2 minutes below the hikers' parking lot and is reached via the gravel path. The water level can be checked from the upper bridge, which runs directly above the uppermost pool.
Tour: At the first rappel you have a choice: either right (climbing a little upwards) next to the watercourse or left in the lower part of the rappel a short piece through the rappel.A small step follows and the next higher rappel, which goes down at the edge of the rappel. At the left edge of the next pool, you can climb up to a jump using iron steps and fixed ropes. After the next step follows an inclined rope, where the beam cannot be avoided. Supposedly, slides are also possible here (not verified). Watch out for the backsuck at the exit.

Access: Leave the Inntalautobahn A93 (Rosenheim-Kufstein) at the Oberaudorf exit (about 5 km before the German-Austrian border at Kufstein) and drive into the village of Oberaudorf. In the village, first take the St2089 in a westerly direction, then the road bends to the north. Continue north on Rosenheimerstraße (St2089) for 150m, then turn left onto Bad-Trißl-Straße in the direction of Tatzelwurm, Sudelfeld, Bayrischzell. After a further 2.1 km we come to Tatzelwurmstraße in the hamlet of Fischbach. Turn left here and continue for another 6.4 km on a winding, narrow road past the "Feuriger Tatzelwurm" hotel. Take the left fork ("Sudelfeld") and after approx. 200m turn left into an inconspicuous driveway (yellow signs) to the large hikers' parking lot (2023: 3€/day). Park your car here. You should not take the lower parking lot and walk to the car in the streambed, as this leads through the hotel grounds and private property and always causes problems for local residents. There are also checks to see if the parking fee has been paid, so it's better to pay!

Approach: From said bridge 500m on the road in a westerly direction (Wallgau), then turn right onto a forest track. On this almost 100 meters uphill, then in the long left turn right onto a forest road. After a few meters this forest road crosses a (orographic right) side stream of the Fischbach and about 500 m further another side stream. About 50 m after this second side stream, we look for a descent into the Fischbach in an easterly direction.
Tour: We walk, slide and climb down the stream channel. Smaller rappels are made from the tree. After about 35-40 min. we pass the second tributary from the right and arrive at the beginning of the more interesting part with a loose succession of smaller rappels down to the road bridge.

Comment: Abseilen vom Wasserableitungsbauwerk
Approach: Short variant (to the lower entry about 15 min.):\nFrom the parking lot about 100 m back on the B 23 to the last bend. In the bend, a forest path branches off to the right (south). After a few meters it branches. Take the left path and follow it downhill. It approaches the Giessenbach stream. Later, a path leads along the Gießenbach on the orographic left side slightly uphill and finally reaches a dam where the upper Gießenbach is diverted into a gallery. Here or shortly below the dam is the entry to the short variant.\n \nLonger variant with additional river walk (to the upper entry approx. 25 min.):\nAt the top of the parking lot, follow the forest road up to the south, a little later to the southeast in the direction of Roßalm. After a short ascent, the trail continues southwest after a right turn and becomes horizontal. After a good kilometer, the trail almost reaches the streambed and you can easily descend into the streambed.
Tour: In the long version (2.5-3 hours in total), the Gießenbach is a scenic "gravel traverser" with a few short downclimb and, if necessary, downclimb sections.\nOn reaching the dam and the resulting water drainage, the short version begins. The lower part is a short rappel canyon with a very low water flow, which is especially suitable for beginners (none of the 9 rappels is higher than 15m) and which can also be done in passing. It is low-risk, because there are always exit possibilities (to the left). Wantonly destroyed belays indicate a conflict with the fishing rights holder (?). The canyon is located in the nature reserve Ammergebirge, the largest NSG in Bavaria.

Access: From the B 2 between Eschenlohe and Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Oberau at the southern end of the village turn west onto the B 23 in the direction of Ettal, Oberammergau. The road rises continuously after the village and reaches the Ettaler Sattel (altitude 880 m) after about 3.5 km behind a long left-hand bend and the following right-hand bend. Park your car here.
Return: At an old dam you reach the bottom of the valley at about 710 m altitude. Now follow the path downstream, you will see a streambed on the opposite bank and after about 200 meters you cross over to the path on the other bank (not the path to the streambed!), where it runs level with the streambed. Follow this so-called Kienbergweg uphill, reach the old Kienbergstraße and later (just before the left turn) the B 23. After the following right turn you are back at the starting point. You can also start the tour from down here (park your car at the stream in Oberau) and then turn left from the Kienbergweg onto a grassy forest path. This mutates into a path that heads for the dam and thus leads us to the entry,

At 1380m we pass the water diversion where we will get off after the descent. Here we can judge the water flow in the Tersol. After a good hour we come to an open high valley above the gorge and here we enter the stream.
Tour: There are about 25 rappel ahead of us. Partly in the stream of a mostly decent water flow, but without slides and possible jumps. After the canyon opens, we come to the water drainage, where we exit to the right onto the approach trail.

Val del Burt: Canyon Start
2024-08-01: All good. Access only the last 400m of the traverse a bit wild, otherwise good path.
Approach: Follow the marked nature trail into Valle Falcina. After about 15 minutes you cross two streams before the path becomes a little steeper again. At the exit of this ascent, an initially inconspicuous path branches off to the right (N 46.1626809 E 12.0492249). Follow this path upwards over the wooded ridge, the path is always clearly visible. Stay right at the first fork in the path, then left uphill at the second fork. A long, ascending traverse begins. When you reach a dry streambed, follow it briefly uphill before cairns lead you back to the left. The path remains clearly visible here too, but likes to hide in the high grass in the open terrain. Continue ascending across, below a high rock face a very inconspicuous path branches off to the left (two red dots, possibly the emergency exit), keep right here and ascend in many hairpin bends to an old hunter's shelter. Continue left over a watercourse and cross less steeply high above the valley floor. After crossing a dry streambed, you reach a larger tributary. Cross this and follow the path, which is poorly visible from here, for about 50m to a ridge covered in mountain pines. Here (N 46.1651739, E 12.0286065) you cross to the left, the hunters path we have followed so far leads straight ahead up the slope. From here, there are hardly any traces of the trail, the path can only be found by following the many cut marks on branches/lathe and a few cairns. First cross briefly, then descend very steeply for 20 m through an earthy chute before reaching another long crossing via a short rocky ledge. You cross a stream below a beautiful waterfall, ascend very steeply for a short time on the opposite bank before a final, partially exposed traverse leads to the valley floor. You reach the stream below a small gorge with several waterfalls. Do not descend too early, as the stream quickly cuts deep into the valley. The access path is marked on the OSM.
Tour: Waterfall steps up to 45m in a beautiful canyon without gravel or boulder climbing, after 3/4 of the tour escape possibility to the left (cairns). Unfortunately, the canyon becomes less attractive in the last quarter of the tour. The protection is good in the upper three quarters, in the lower part it is mainly block slings. * Downclimb 3m, slippery * C 5m: anchors on the right * small slides * C 4m: rope sling left (under grass) * C 14m: anchor right, possibly jumpable * C 30m: 2 anchors on the right * C 18m: Rope sling around tree on the right * C 13m: anchor right * C 3m: anchor right * C 28m: 2 anchors right * C 5m: anchor right * C 4m: anchor right * C 40m: 2 anchors right * C 4 + 11m: anchor left, climb over the clamping block * 2 jumps up to 4m * short walking passages * C 22m: 2 anchors left * C 37m: 2 anchors left * C 16m: anchor left * C 12m: anchor left * short walking passages, at the exit escape route left * C 18m: 2 anchors left * C 10m: anchor right * From here on, the rock layers are more vertical and there are many boulders in the streambed. Lots of downclimbing, and three rappels, the first two from chockstone slings, the last from an anchor on the left side

Here (N 46.1651739, E 12.0286065) you cross to the left, the hunters path we have followed so far leads straight ahead up the slope. From here, there are hardly any traces of the trail, the path can only be found by following the many cut marks on branches/lathe and a few cairns. First cross briefly, then descend very steeply for 20 m through an earthy chute before reaching another long crossing via a short rocky ledge. You cross a stream below a beautiful waterfall, ascend very steeply for a short time on the opposite bank before a final, partially exposed traverse leads to the valley floor. You reach the stream below a small gorge with several waterfalls. Do not descend too early, as the stream quickly cuts deep into the valley. The access path is marked on the OSM.

Larga: Canyon Start
Approach: see photo gallery "Overall situation aerial view" and "Sketch"\nThe approach route from P1 in Val Larga red to the entry E. Descent in blue to the exit A. Then you go up without a path in the streambed or on the edge of the Varrone until you can exit on the first crossing path on the left.\nYellow is an access possibility from Tremenico without shuttle. It has not been verified whether this path, which is not shown on any map, still exists or in what condition it is.
Tour: From P1 pathless next to or in the stream of Val Larga to the entry . Several times must be rappel.\nIn the canyon itself about 14 rappel, the higher from 20m immediately before and then after the inflow of the Torrente from the Valle dell'Orso.\nWhen from the right the Torrente Varrone enters, the exit is over.

Approach: In the area of the parking lot 3 forest roads start. We take the middle one uphill and after about 300m we come to a junction. From the right comes the slope, which we will descend after the exit. But we keep half-left on the slope ("Rundweg Usterberg"). We come to a first sharp leftward haipin bend (885m a.s.l.), later we ignore a turnoff to the left (935m a.s.l.) and at 980m a.s.l. we come to a second sharp leftward haipin bend. We now take the path that leaves here, which goes up in a northerly direction at a certain distance, but ultimately parallel to the Fallbach. At about 1240m a.s.l. we come across a horizontally crossing hiking trail, which we follow to the right until we reach the streambed of the Fallbach (entry).
Tour: At the beginning, hatches in the wide gravel bed alternate with longer rappels. After the 6th rappel we reach the 90m waterfall. In the past, rappels were made orographic to the left of the fall, with the intermediate belay about halfway down. Now the 90m fall is best approached from the orographic right. The intermediate belaystation is then after about 30m (30m/60m). Attention: At the top you will not hear any whistle signal, not even with the very loud Tornado! Then it goes down over smaller steps until you complete the tour with two higher steps (30m and 40m). Caution: military unexploded ordnance is found again and again!

Access: We leave the Inntalautobahn A12 about 14 km east of Innsbruck via the exit Hall-Mitte. We drive into Hall on the 171a, basically always following this road, which after passing the first major intersection goes around the core of the town in a right-hand bend as the L225. Then it turns north at a traffic circle in the direction of Absam, Gnadenwald. We drive through Absam and follow pretty much at the end of the town further the L225, which moves in a slight right bend to the NE, in the direction of Gnadenwald. 1200m after this bend we pass the Waldkapelle. 150m further we turn left into the forest and park our car on the large open space. A shuttle is also possible (7 km). To do this, take the 2nd car back to Walderstr. and here 1.9 km left in the direction of Gnadenwald Here in St. Martin we turn left onto the toll road (Hinterhornstraße), which leads up to the Hinterhornalm (1522m). We drive uphill on this toll road for 5 km. Near a prominent rightward haipin bend at 1400m we park the second car on a spot marked for parking.\nAt this rightward haipin bend we take the hiking trail in a westerly direction (signpost Alpensöhnehütte). It leads essentially almost level, overall even slightly sloping along under the peaks of the Nordkette. We cross some torrents, pass the Kandlerboden and after about 1 hour we come to the "Schäferhütte". Immediately after that we reach the scree-strewn streambed of the Fallbach.
Return: Out of the gravel bed on the right we take the clear path. It brings us to a forest road, which we go down to the parking lot.

Agnone: Canyon Start
Approach: Beyond the streambed, take the path that later joins the GR20 near the Cascades d'Anglais. Continue on it in a northerly direction, where the trail crosses the stream on a bridge (entry).
Tour: Hike in or next to the stream with some optional rappel. It must be expected that the belays are - partially - removed, but then remain as an alternative rappel from the tree or bypassing the waterfalls. After the Cascade d'Anglais with a lot of visitors on sunny days, the tour is over.

Agnone: Canyon End
Return: After the Cascades d'Anglais, turn right onto a path near the creek, which later meets a dirt road. On this we go right and thus come to the road. On this 200m to the right and we are back at the car.

Agnone: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Either from the direction of Ajaccio or Corte we head for the Col de Vizzavona (1163m alt.). 550m NE of the mountain pass we park our car at the houses of the hamlet of La Foce.
Return: After the Cascades d'Anglais, turn right onto a path near the creek, which later meets a dirt road. On this we go right and thus come to the road. On this 200m to the right and we are back at the car.

Comment: depart 2 - au-dessus de verticales (1100m alt) (descente)
Approach: From the bridge, go back about 50 meters on the road (north), then follow the sign 'Rocher Oscillante' (Wobbly Stone) and go up on the right into the forest (orange markings). After about half an hour, most of it in the shaded forest, you reach a point that opens the view on the rocky streambed of the Anellu. Here you can enter just above the vertical part, if you don't want to go through the upper part, which is not very interesting, but if you want to go through it as well, follow the path upwards. If you want to follow the path upwards, you will meet the path coming from the left (From the Bergeries de Niellu), on which you will go up following the description in the book of Jourdan/Fiorina. Continue slightly uphill on the now common path for about 10 min. Then keep to the right on the edge of the slope, where you can see the streambed of the upper Anellu. At a suitable point descend there (entry there at 125m a.s.l. - additional 60 min. in the stream).\nNow that there is a direct access up from the bridge, the access described in the book of Jourdan/Fiorina is only an unnecessary detour.
Tour: The vertical part is not without charm and provides water flow even in midsummer.

Costalunga: Canyon Start
2024-05-20: A great water level due to the rainfall of the last week. Rule of thumb: If the water of the Costalunga doesn't completely disappear before the Torrente Mis, then you should take a look at the last st...
Approach: A good 50 meters back, the vegetation consists of small bushes and the bank is paved with large stone blocks. Here you can descend to the river. Cross it and then head towards the exit of Val Costalunga opposite. From there, climb without a path (possibly animal tracks) up to an open area, at the north-western end of which you will come across two ruined houses. Behind the northern house, a poorly recognizable path starts, which winds its way through the mountain face in steep serpentines, sometimes very exposed. If in doubt, continue upwards through the forest without a path until you reach the path mentioned above. Follow this for a good 40 minutes until you come to the remains of a ruined house (680 m above sea level). Here the path loses its way, a narrow path leads further uphill, a barely recognizable, brick chute leads slightly uphill to the left. Two large trees have fallen over at the start. A little further on, a rusty steel cable is stretched across it. From here, follow the gully for about 50m, then you will see a flat path that was probably used to fetch water in the past. First cross horizontally over a dry and steep side ditch, then descend a little more steeply to reach the stream. The access path is marked in Open Street Map, but the serpentines are "smoothed", which means that you think you are too far down at the beginning and later too far up.
Tour: First a sequence of smaller rappels (up to a maximum of 12m) and currently (May 2024) no possible jumps. The canyon opens up briefly to present a vertical part with a C6, C30 combination (newly drilled in May 2024, formerly C34). The canyon narrows again and a nice 20 meter waterfall follows, which becomes problematic when the water level is high. A few more short steps in a fairytale-like setting and you can marvel at all the water seeping into the gravel bed. You are already back at the Torrente Mis. Valle Costalunga is located in the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti, where canyoning is prohibited. The A.I.C. management has been negotiating with the national park administration for some time in this regard.

Carazzi: Canyon Start
Approach: See sketches in "Photo Gallery" - also at Val Famita\n\nJourdan/Fiorina go from Taravo (480m alt.) up to 1100m altitude, then to the entry Val Famita (804m altitude) and then continue (pathless) direction SW down to the entry Carazzi at 540m altitude.This is about 650m ascent and about 550m in descent (pathless). Time required about 3.5 hours.\n\nAlternative 1: The access begins at 430m altitude in the village of Sarrola, first runs out the valley of the Cardettu, losing about 30m in altitude and then crosses the slope to Carazzi. In doing so, the path follows an easy and steady climb and does not go beyond 540m altitude. This is about 140m in ascent with 30m descent at the beginning. Time required max. 1.5 hours.The path is easily recognizable, but some sense of direction is helpful. See also 2: Here we park a little before reaching the hamlet of Pantanu(220m altitude). The path then leads past the houses of Pantanu first to Bocca di Catenaccia (410m altitude), then up the west side of the ridge to the entry (530m altitude). The path is easy and even slope, with a little attention always easily recognizable and takes about 60 min. Thus, this variant should be the optimal access. See also https://www.facebook.com/Canyonwolf/posts/2199302736761389
Tour: About 8 - 10 rappel, including a C50 as well as a C60 with sharp edge.\nFrom the left finally flows to the Ruisseau de Val Famitai (about 300m old.). About 15 min further we can exit to the left on a path (near a ruined house) and before the C17.

Access: Coming from Florence on the A1, passing Arezzo and Orvieto, leave it 41 km after Orvieto at the Orte exit and continue on the SS 204 in a northeasterly direction to Terni. You still have to cross the city to get onto the SS 209 ('Valnerina') which goes up the valley of the Nera towards Visso. After 33.5 km from the center of Terni, you reach the crossroads where the new road branches off in the direction of Spoleto/Foligno. However, continue along the SS 209 in the valley of the Nera and after 6 km you will reach 'L'Eremita', a church with a house and a cemetery on the left of the road. Park the car here.

Approach: Now follow the signpost "Verdura" uphill on foot in many switchbacks. Finally, the exit ends at a house at 910m altitude. The further access is a problem here. We also wandered around at the time and only after a few wrong turns and after much more time than given somehow found our way into the streambed. The entrance height is unanimously indicated with 1050m height. Based on this, I have made various maps, some with conceivable access routes, accessible in the photo gallery. However, the following sketch gives the impression that the climbers have entered much further down and immediately before the vertical final section (? - with a question mark I have also provided this access variant in the photo): . However, the statement in the corresponding description that they roped into the canyon from the tree seems to confirm my assumption.
Tour: Once in the stream, a total of 15 rappels await us (from 1050m altitude), with the intermediate stand to the last 80m rappel being somewhat narrow and exposed.

With the second car return to the main road, here turn left towards Storo, but only a few meters further - after crossing the canal - turn left again from the main road and head again in a northeasterly direction. After a 90 degree bend, we meet the road that comes from Storo and goes into a climb in a right-hand bend. We turn left here and take this narrow, winding tarred road and go steadily uphill, through a tunnel and past the chapel (S. Lorenzo). Just a few meters further on, the road branches. We stay on the left and, after passing 2 houses - the first set off from the road on the left - we park our second car where on the left, at an acute angle, a dirt road leaves in a northerly direction (see photos and map in photo gallery).

However, the following sketch gives the impression that the climbers have entered much further down and immediately before the vertical final section (? - with a question mark I have also provided this access variant in the photo): . However, the statement in the corresponding description that they roped into the canyon from the tree seems to confirm my assumption.

Plattengraben (-Albertsbach): Canyon Start
2024-05-26: Some of the bolts are not in good condition (bad rock). On the first rappel, the bolt can almost be pulled out by hand. Otherwise a very beautiful canyon, which could do with some water.
Approach: From the parking lot, we cross the Weißach and follow the forest road on the opposite bank in the direction of the Firstalm (natural toboggan run in winter). After about 2.3 km in the forest, we reach the meadows on the plateau (1100m above sea level). After another 1250 m there is a saddle on the righthand side. However, we follow the forest road for another 150 m in the direction of Königsalm (SE), then turn right off the road and head SSW across the meadows towards the saddle below the Platteneck. Here we come across a bathtub filled by a spring. To the right of the bathtub down into the side ditch of the Plattengraben and beyond a few meters up to a path that leads us down into the streambed of the Plattengraben.
Tour: After a few meters we come to the first rappel sequence (4 rappels, max. 10m each). This is followed by a run of almost half an hour until we reach the entry to the central drop (beautiful view of Rossstein and Buchstein). This is followed by 3 to 5 rappels, whereby on the 2nd rappel (chain anchor) you should rappel about 22m over the ledge (anchor on the right on the ground). From the next belay station you can abseil another 23m to the bottom, but the rope retrival could be tricky here. A longer run now follows, undercut by 4 more rappels (again max. 10m each). Then we reach the mouth of the Kirchwandgraben, which descends from the left. This becomes the Albertsbach about 100m further down the stream. Walk and climb down it to the exit on the left before the road bridge.

2024-05-26: Some of the bolts are not in good condition (bad rock). On the first rappel, the bolt can almost be pulled out by hand. Otherwise a very beautiful canyon, which could do with some water.
Return: On the forest road along the Albertsbach downhill, either then across the stream to the Firstalm, if you have a second car there or can be picked up there - or right bank further 1.6 km downhill to the large parking lot.

Schoßbach: Canyon Start
2023-03-19: Top water level, installations Top! At the last 80m waterfall are trees in front of the stand, but goes well!
Approach: We walk along the road where we parked the (possibly first) car, first in a south-westerly direction, then after a bend in the road in a north-westerly direction. After a few meters, a forest path branches off to the left, which we take. We cross a wildlife protection fence and follow the path that runs towards the Schoßbach stream. Where the path turns right to the Ellandalm, we take the path straight ahead and continue towards the Schoßbach. The hunters path is partly dilapidated, but it takes us directly to the entry point (where it crosses the Schoßbach). You can also climb further down to access the final waterfall directly; the entry point would then be where the hunters path allows access to the streambed for the first time (900 m altitude).
Tour: Some smaller rappels, some steps for downclimbing, in between also walking passages lead us to the Schoßrinn waterfall. A handrail leads to the belaystation, from which it then goes 80 m downhill on a free slope.

Schoßbach: Canyon End
2023-03-19: Top water level, installations Top! At the last 80m waterfall are trees in front of the stand, but goes well!
Return: First along the Schoßbach in an easterly direction, then left in a northerly direction to the road leading from the St2093 to the houses of Schoßrinn. If we have parked a second car at the described place, now on the road to the right and after 270 m we come to this car at the St2093. But if we have left our only car at Einfang, we cross the tarred road and follow the road to the north until we reach our car.

Comment: hier trifft der Rückweg auf die Zufahrtsstraße
Access: We leave the freeway A8 - Munich-Salzburg - at the exit Frasdorf and drive on the St2093 about 3.5 km southwards to Aschau im Chiemgau. Continue on the St2093 to the south. After 1.7 km we pass the center of Hohenaschau, 2.2 km further on we see the houses of the hamlet Außerwald (farm Auerhof) on the left side of the road. A good 100 m further on, we turn right off the St2093 and cross the Prien River. Now we go about 200 m through the forest, at the junction at the edge of the forest we keep left. Now we look for a suitable place to park our car.\n\nIf we have a second car available, we drive it along the St2093 for another 1 km and then turn right onto the road to Schoßrinn, which is closed to through traffic. Here we look for a suitable place for the car for the exit.

Törlergraben: Canyon Start
Comment: E 1 (entrée direct, les armarrages pour 5 rappels equipées 23.08.2017) (descente)
Approach: First follow the access path to the Karnergraben: We take the field path across the meadows in a south-westerly direction. The path gradually turns north and we reach a forest road. Follow this for 150m to the left until you reach the bridge over the Karnertalbach stream. Here we follow the forest road in the direction of Thaleralm. As we leave the forest, we see the Törleralm on the right above us. Turn left here (westwards) downhill in the hollow to reach the entry to the lower part at 1100m altitude. To reach the upper entry point, follow the piste towards Thaleralm. At a path with a Christ figure on a brick cube, we then descend northwestwards to the stream.
Tour: 2 parts, each of which can be walked separately. See also the video and photos. In contrast to the description in Riml/Amor, we did not enter via the right side trench, but a little further up directly into the Törlergraben. We set 3 new anchors for the additional 5 rappels (the 2 others from the tree).

Törlergraben: Canyon End
Return: We cross the Ellbach and then take the path that leads in an easterly direction along the Ellbach (Riedenberger Wiesenstraße). We keep to the Ellbach and finally cross the Karnergraben. This way we come back up to Riedenberg.

Approach: Already here signs show the way to the canyon. We set course for Font de Moli and a whitewashed spring house. We do not follow the markings that point downward, but continue at about the same altitude and come to the Barranc de Comes, which is joined a little above the Barranc de Llagunes. The Comes is an orographic. right side ditch of the Caramell. Here is usually the entry.

Boca del Infierno: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the tarred road and up into the rock face above the canyon. After about 400m (from the forester's lodge), the road comes close to the river and we follow the clear sprinkles that lead down to the river bed.
Tour: First walk and wade in the river bed, then the impressive narrowing with several river crossings. On the rock face on the left, avoid the waterfall and climb up to the clamping block, from which you can jump. An unpleasant narrow section with a lot of water can be bypassed on the left (then rappel). At the wide waterfall that follows (2nd rappel on the left edge) and lots of water, the only option - for the first one - is to jump into the spray, but an emergency exit is possible beforehand. Rappels are not advisable here, especially if there is a lot of water flowing backwards. Once the first person is down, a self-ferry can be set up for the others (2x30m ropes required). Then swim out to the canyon exit.

Approach: Cross the Gravona to the northern bank and, keeping to the right, follow the path in a northerly direction. After about 250m, at the fork, take the path that descends to the right, cross the Cardiccia/Richiusa and climb up the slope on the other bank for about 25 minutes. At about 800m above sea level, the path branches again. On the right (NE) we would go to the canyon Leccia Rossa, we take the left path to the Bergerie Matone. There we can follow the path up to the streambed.
Tour: First river walk between and over large boulders and with possible jumps into blue-green pools (if the sun is shining). At about 720m the canyon begins, although it is still relatively open at the beginning.\nNow follow slides and possible jumps, the canyon narrows and - felt - much too early we have already reached its exit.

Approach: From the parking lot, take the forest path that heads west towards the Hühnerbach. Then high above the Hühnerbach in a southerly direction. At just over 900 m above sea level, a grassy slope on the right leads almost down to the stream (entry). It is advisable to approach the Hühnerbach via the Pitzbach (see there).
Tour: After a short stretch in the open streambed, you come to the first steps and the short but attractive dark gorge (fixed ropes in 2016, as it is commercially accessible). After the dark gorge, you can exit to the right up to the approach path. The canyon is now relatively open and - apart from another rappel - presents itself as a hiking canyon. Finally, the Hühnerbach flows into the Walchen, which you swim through to the far bank. This was the case until the LRA Bad Tölz/Wolfratshausen banned access, which was mainly directed against commercially run groups. As the Hühnerbach is a border, the ban can only affect the German side of the stream. So in the stream itself, which forms the national border, always keep to the right in the Hühnersbach on the Austrian side :) At the exit, however, turn right before reaching the Walchen. The exit is well marked and easy to recognize.

Immediately after the road bridge over the Walchen (Achenbach), park your vehicle on the right. Alternatively, take the B 181 from Achensee in the direction of Lenggries (17.4 km from Camping Achensee).
Return: However, if you still land on the north bank of the Walchen, turn east, meet the main road after a few minutes and follow it back to the parking lot. At the exit on the Austrian side, always follow the trail, finally reaching the forest path and the parking lot.

Arrived at the top of the dam, we keep right on the B 307 in the direction of Fall, Vorderriß. 2.3 km further on - and 200 m before the turnoff into the village of Fall - we turn left (2nd turnoff) into Dürrachstraße. We park our car on the parking lot for hikers in front of the no-driving sign.
Return: At the lake shore turn left until you can wade over to the west shore. Then onto the gravel truck track and at the left bend of the track straight ahead along the forest path near the lake. At the exit of the forest path turn left onto the path that leads steeply up the slope to the tarred road. There after a few meters to the parking lot.

Comment: Einstieg Abschnitt I
Approach: We continue along the tarred road for 1.4 km in a southerly direction - Bächental. We then cross the Dürrach, which babbles deep below us. A few meters further on we come to a junction and take the turn-off to the left (signpost "Walchenklamm"). Another 750 m further on we reach the bridge over the Schürpfengraben. This is a good place to judge the water flow. 120 m after the bridge, we take the path up to the right. This is followed by a path. At the 3rd leftward haipin bend (875 m above sea level), a path turns right again, which leads us down into the streambed to the beginning of part III (length 750m, access height 875m, number of rappels 10, highest rappel 21, recommended ropes 2x30m, v3,a2,II). For the entry into the II. We climb further uphill at the 3rd leftward haipin bend. At the 11th left serpentine and a longer "straight" we turn right off the path and descend keeping left into the streambed to the start of part II. Starting altitude 980m. See also map! There is another access point at an altitude of 1170m (see map). However, the descent to the entry to part II has not been verified by the author.
Tour: Descent in steps, occasional slides and jumps. Then the rappel under the bridge. Then walk out in the open gravel bed to the reservoir.

Schürpfengraben II+III : Canyon End
Return: At the lake shore turn left until you can wade over to the west shore. Then onto the gravel truck track and at the left bend of the track straight ahead along the forest path near the lake. At the exit of the forest path turn left onto the path that leads steeply up the slope to the tarred road. There after a few meters to the parking lot.

Schürpfengraben II+III : Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Bad Tölz we drive on the B 13, past Lenggries, to the Sylvenstein reservoir (21.5 km). Arrived at the top of the dam, we keep right on the B 307 in the direction of Fall, Vorderriß. 2.3 km further on - and 200 m before the turnoff into the village of Fall - we turn left (2nd turnoff) into Dürrachstraße. We park our car on the parking lot for hikers in front of the no-driving sign.

Kestel (East): Canyon Start
Approach: From P1 you enter via the side stream.
Tour: 70 rappel. The 75m - ropes just before the confluence with the orographic. right arm has a changeover (see videos).

Kestel (East): Canyon End
Return: Out at the E-Werk and to the car at P2

Dürrach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the P. continue in the direction of Bächental. The road crosses the Dürrach and leads orographic uphill on the right bank parallel to the Dürrach. Approx. 2.5 km after the bridge, a gravel road branches off to the right to the Stierschlaghütte (signposted "Lärchkogel, Tölzer Hütte, Schafreiter"). Follow this road for about 300m downhill to the bridge over the Dürrach with a slide brake underneath. The entry is immediately to the left behind the bridge or down to the right before the bridge.
Tour: See videos and photos!

Dürrach: Canyon End
Return: Either go out to the left at the gauging station, then up to the right and back on the tarred road or, after the first-mentioned bridge at the beginning of the reservoir, go back to the left along the edge of the forest.

Dürrach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Bad Tölz via Lengries to the Sylvenstein reservoir. 200 meters after the bridge over the lake - about 100 meters before the signposted turnoff to Fall - turn left, continue straight through the forest to the parking lot for hikers for the Bächental.
Return: Either go out to the left at the gauging station, then up to the right and back on the tarred road or, after the first-mentioned bridge at the beginning of the reservoir, go back to the left along the edge of the forest.

Staffelgraben (oberer): Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the slope and cross the Isar on or next to a dam. About 300m further on the slope describes a right turn. At the exit of the right bend we turn left onto a track that leads to the north. 70m further on we also turn right from this track and take the forest road, which leads us first steeply uphill in northern direction. About 500m after its beginning the path turns to the left and after another 200m we come to the Staffelgraben (This path - from Isar - can be traced well on the "Bayernatlas" (tick in the menu "Wanderwege", then marked in orange): layers=e528a2a8-44e7-46e9-9069-1a8295b113b5 . Now over the Staffelgraben, then we keep to the left of the Seibertsgraben flowing towards us (i.e. orographic. to the right of it) up the slope steeply and at an altitude of 930 m we meet a forest road running crosswise and horizontally. On this now left. After 800m the forest road ends at a turning point. Here we would go in the direction of SSW down the path to the stream (entry lower part).\nWir continue, however, the forest road. It continues in a path. A good 15 minutes further on we come to a place where the path runs over steel pins just above the stream. From here on the path rises sharply. Further up the path branches. We go 2x to the right. Finally, the path flattens out and we can see the stream incision again. Here we descend at a suitable point into the streambed (1063m altitude).
Tour: Quickly we come to a dilapidated Triftklause and minutes later to the first rappel. The glued anchor is knocked over. But a flat tape loop could be threaded. Alternatively, downclimbing is possible. There are 6 more rappels, some of which can be done without ropes. Then follows a large pot, where an anchor would be useful, because it is difficult to climb down. A little later we come to the steel pin passage. From here we walk practically horizontally until the exit of the upper part (885m altitude).

Torrente Lacerno: Alternative Canyon Start
Comment: Start unterer Abschnitt
Approach: Multiple accesses with or without shuttle. Upstream approach : From the watering holes, take the wrong path to the left. You will again encounter watering holes and continue straight following the markings of the AIC (white square, blue dot). You will quickly come across GR Q8. Go right and follow it for 1 hour and 15 minutes, passing a virgin in a tree stump. The GR finally reaches the watercourse again. Middle and lower access: take the trail below the watering holes. It meets a path that you follow. At its exit, continue straight (the left branch meets the GR Q8). For 45min follow the mountain side until you meet the footbridge of the lower part. Go up the RD path until you reach the footbridge of the middle part
Tour: Upper part: Apart from the 20m waterfall, the inlets lack character and the obstacles amidst tree trunks are uninteresting and poorly equipped. Middle part: from the footbridge, it goes through the graveyard of rotten wood to the first gulch, which does not present any difficulties. After another area of intertwined logs, cross the second gulch. Lower part: at the second jetty, the lower part begins with a nice 22 m rappel (MC+2 pts RG). After the second indentation, the interesting parts end. Paths follow the watercourse until its exit.

Torrente Lacerno: Canyon End
Return: Exit onto a left bank trail. From the upstream part you can get off at the footbridge. Otherwise, after the last indentation of the lower part, follow the trails passing RD and RG. The path climbs RG. At the beginning of the boulder field, keep right. It finally reaches the bridge.

Do not miss the direction of Pescosolido and then go to Campoli Appenino. Park in front of the village under the bridge over the Lacerno, which is dried up at this point. Access from above: From Campoli Appennino, go to Pescosolido. 700 meters after the crossroads you will be in the center of the village. Turn right to pass the old church (Largo Vescavo Ruggieri). Follow Via Piacenza and then Via Colle. Do not follow this road to the exit, but take the first road on the right that goes uphill. You will leave the village. 700 meters further on the road becomes a dirt road. Pass the first barrier and go straight on at the fork. You will walk along fields (picnic area) and pass a second barrier. The parking lot is at the end point, by the watering holes. Copied from Descente

Staffelgraben (unterer): Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the slope and cross the Isar on or next to a dam. About 300m further on the slope describes a right turn. At the exit of the right bend we turn left onto a track that leads north. 70m further on we also turn right from this track and take the forest road, which leads us first steeply uphill in northern direction. About 500m after its beginning the path turns to the left and after another 200m we come to the Staffelgraben (This path - from Isar - can be traced well on the "Bayernatlas" (tick in the menu "Wanderwege", then marked in orange): layers=e528a2a8-44e7-46e9-9069-1a8295b113b5 . Now over the Staffelgraben, then we keep to the left of the Seibertsgraben flowing towards us (i.e. orographic. to the right of it) up the slope steeply and at an altitude of 930 m we meet a forest road running crosswise and horizontally. On this now left. After 800m the forest road ends at a turning point. From here in the direction of SSW down the path to the stream.
Tour: We go down the ditch with the many small pools. We come to a small circular pool, which obviously invites you to jump. But beware: directly under the spray of the small waterfall hides a large boulder. During our 2015 u. 2018 ascent, we found an anchor here for rappel. Walking, climbing, sometimes sliding and jumping, we come to a small but deep pool, which invites us to a 4m jump. A little later we reach the exit of the ditch, where we will meet bathers in good weather.

Staffelgraben (unterer): Canyon End
Return: Now first in the off. Gravel bed, then later on a left bank path back to the place where we crossed the Staffelgraben on the approach. From here on the Anmarschweg back to the Isar and to the parking lot.

Orsoni: Canyon End

Fischbach zum Rißbach: Canyon Start
Approach: We cross the wide and mostly dry gravel bed of the Rißbach and head towards the opposite mouth of the Fischbach. Follow an indistinct footpath or an orographic path to the left (orographic right) uphill. At the top we come to a path which we follow to the right to the dam. Here we can check the water flow of the Fischbach in the upper reaches. Now follow the path back in a southerly direction. After a few meters we come to a forest road, which we take uphill to the right. We now ascend above the Fischbach and basically roughly parallel to it. After about 3.5 km or almost an hour, we come to the abrupt exit of this slope. This is followed by a path, which is only vaguely recognizable in places as we continue. We reach the wide gravel bed of the upper reaches of the Fischbach just before it narrows downstream into a gorge.
Tour: We hike and climb down the stream, with a few possible jumps. At one point we rappelled about 4m in 2013 (anchor was available). The deadwood was not a real obstacle at the time. When we arrive at the water drainage, we can exit a few meters before on the right via a metal ladder. If you want to join the part below the water drainage, you should pay close attention to the deadwood (the author was trapped by a sliding log in 2013 and had to be freed with a chainsaw - heli-canyoning was the order of the day afterwards). It's essential to take your climbing gear with you, as there is a lack of safety equipment for the few rappels.

Fischbach zum Rißbach: Canyon End
Return: Again across the gravel bed of the Rißbach back to the far bank and to the car.

2024-06-08: All ok, not really worthwhile.

Comment: sentier ("Schützensteig") traverse Hirschwängbach (descente)
Approach: From the parking lot at the Hotel Ammerwald (1080m a.s.l.) we take the slope in northern direction and then follow the signpost "Schützensteig-Hochplatte". In several serpentines it goes up in the sparse coniferous forest. Then it moves with a slight gradient in a northerly direction and we reach the wooden footbridge over the stream coming down from the Hirschwäng-Alpe (1525m a.s.l.) (entry).
Tour: First you descend in this orographic right side stream of the Schafblassenbach via 5 rappels in relatively open terrain in an easterly direction to the Schafblassenbach (approx. 50 min.). In the Schafblassenbach - also relatively open - continue in a south-easterly direction (another 7 rappels). At the remains of the wall there is a first good exit option to the right onto the old water pipe. However, it makes sense to descend further to the exit at the metal railing.

But we take the inconspicuous forest road, which branches off to the far right at this point. On it we come to the gravel bed above the gorge of the Asamklamm.
Tour: Initially, mainly stretches in the wide gravel bed. Slide brakes are either bypassed (left) or rappelled down. Then the canyon becomes narrow and we move between washed out rock walls and cross some pools. We finally see the footbridge at the top and stand at the exit of the gorge a little later.

Access: From the BAB 95 (Munich-Garmisch-Partenkirchen) via exit 11 ("Eschenlohe") in eastern direction to Eschenlohe. We cross the B 12 and keep right in the center of Eschenlohe on the Garmischer Straße. We come to a covered bridge over the Loisach, cross the river and then take the Walchenseestraße on the other side half-left. After not quite 300m (from Loisach bridge) we cross the Eschenlaine, which normally has no water flow at this point. After another 300m the road bends in a right angle to SSO. From here another 1100m and we park our car in front of the no driving sign on the right at the edge of the forest.
Return: At the exit of the canyons up the path with the stairs on the left. Keeping left we come to the footbridge over the canyons. A few more meters up and then in a northwesterly direction to the paved road. On this road turn right to the car.

Mirafall: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the marked hiking trail with number 622 via FH Hagengut and Jausenstation Ötscherhias into the Ötschergräben. From the Ötscherhias another 20 minutes along a beautiful path upstream to the Mirafall, visible from afar. Climb without a path and with difficulty over the steep forest and scree terrain to the east of the waterfall, at the top cross over a forest saddle into Mirabachtal.
Tour: After a flat start, you come to a 15m high waterfall (tree on the left), followed shortly afterwards by a 30m waterfall (HSA on the left). After a few slides you stand in front of the 70m drop of the Mira Falls. About 4m behind the overhanging edge there is a chain, directly on the edge a single anchor. After about 30m of free-hanging abseiling, you have to swing to the next anchor (somewhat hidden at an angle). From this anchor it is another 45m abseil into the large pool under the waterfall. Caution: rope abseiling problems in the large waterfall, lots of loose rubble at the belay behind the waterfall (danger of falling rocks for tourists under the waterfall)

Return: Once at the bottom, turn left out to the car.

Kühbach: Canyon End
2025-07-28: We were at the entry of the canyon three times in a row (2x on 28.07., 1x on 29.07.) The entry is easy to find. The hiking trail there is easy to walk. A short downclimb begins directly at the entry....
2023-07-29: Everything in order, sufficient hooks. Water level after previous rains present but still low and not critical.
2023-06-06: From the beginning of the canyon widening, the pitons were not consistently set in the fall line of the stream. Thus one saw oneself repeatedly forced to longer diagonal ropes. At least one could enjo...
Return: Once at the bottom, turn left out to the car.

Kühbach: Waterlevel Checkpoint
Comment: Checkpoint direkt am Ausstieg
Hydrology: Due to the rather small water catchment area, the canyon can usually be climbed without any problems. The Kühbach rarely carries water from the beginning of the first rappel. It usually seeps away beforehand and does not come to the surface again.

Kühbach: Waypoint
Comment: Wegpunkt Zustieg
Approach: Ascend the forest road on the left bank (Reintalstraße) for approx. 1300m and at 1055m turn left onto a forest path that leads us almost horizontally to the entry point.

Comment: ACHTUNG: Namloserbach muss durchschritten werden. Wasserstand prüfen.
Return: Once you reach the Namlos stream, climb steeply up the opposite slope without a path. After the first 20 meters of altitude, keep right before the next cirque and you will come to a grassy edge where you work your way up between mountain pines to the edge of the slope. From here, keep to the right (SW) and continue pathless up to the road and then left to the car. Perhaps a little further down in Namloser Bach the ascent back to the road is easier - it might be worth testing.

Approach: On the road bridge to the eastern bank of the stream that descends into the Schwarzbrunnen valley. In the forest on the right-hand side of the stream, descend 100 meters to the Namloser Bach. At a jammed tree trunk, cross over to the other bank of the Namlos stream (there is a marker on a rocky ridge). Follow the path starting here upwards. Keep left at an unclear fork. At about 1250 m above sea level, you come to a path that leads from Namlos to Stanzach. Follow this path to the left (west) past the Schretterhütte until you reach the stream coming down from the Dürrekopfspitze - entry (1250 m above sea level).
Tour: A series of rappels, no slides or possible jumps. The Namlos stream can cause problems when crossing at the exit. You should therefore only do the tour when the water is low. If the water is low, you can also take the last rappel into the Namlos stream, keeping to the left, via a small rock gate through which the water jet shoots through.

Approach: We follow the dirt road further into the forest. We cross a quarry. The track goes up in serpentines. We reach our forest gorge, the forest road now goes flat for a few meters. Then a track goes off to the right, which we follow to the streambed (beyond the stream wildlife feeding).
Tour: At the beginning, diagonal ropes in open terrain. The key points are then a 40 m high waterfall (breaking possible before the edge: 12 m/30 m), as well as the 35 m high, somewhat winding final waterfall (breaking 15 m/20 m makes sense; the last 20 m can also be rappelled on dry ground following the wire rope handrail). The canyon may still be accessible if most of the other streams in the Bregenzerwald are carrying too much water. It is also used commercially.

Mühltobel (mittlerer Abschnitt): Canyon Start
2025-08-23: A lot of gravel and a lot of throughput after the flood. But it was still manageable. Stands in the middle section ok.
Approach: From the leftward haipin bend (with bus stop), take the forest road that goes uphill in a southerly direction, passing a fallow deer enclosure (2009) with a house on the right and reaching the small tarred road. Continue on it until you reach the houses at its exit. From there a few meters further downhill in a southerly direction (fountain), take the right path at the fork and follow it downhill to the footbridge over the stream.
Tour: Entry with c53, then short rappel and downclimb in relatively narrow canyon, but then tiring rattling in the stony streambed. Next entry possibility at the bridge (from Dafins). Still walking (in total about 1.5 hrs), a rewarding interlude. Finally access for the lower part, which is then interesting again.

Karitsas: Canyon Start
Approach: After the first houses on the left and a satellite dish on an iron pipe (2010), a path that is initially not recognizable as such leads downhill over some concrete steps and then in a northerly direction across a meadow towards a slope edge. Here, at the latest, we take up the track again, walk along the edge of the slope in an easterly direction, cross into the following slope keeping slightly downward and follow the track down to the streambed.This access explored by the author from the streambed upward saves about 20 min. access and 30 min. rappel in the streambed downward (according to the access description in the book by George Andreou); with this access one is at the first rappel in the shortest time. The total length of the tour in meters is shortened by about half. If you like hiking next to or in the streambed, or if you don't trust yourself to find the way described here, take the access described in George Andreou's book, which has its starting point at the church.
Tour: Sequence of beautiful rappel (9 in total).

We cross the river (check its water level, because after the canyon we have to cross it again and without a bridge) and drive uphill. After about 2 km we come to a road junction. Here we do not go right up to the church (as described in George Andreou's book), but left. At the first houses we park the second vehicle.

From there, follow the forest road to the south (left), which leads to a path that leads directly to a large boulder barrier (dam) (sign "Danger of life"). Entry and first rappel directly from the bedload barrier.

2023-12-30: Winter ascent at approx. -2°C, lots of ice in the gorge. Not all stands accessible (ice / snow), easily doable with appropriate equipment.
Approach: We cross the aforementioned bridge, walk along the dirt road on the right above the valley station and head towards the now visible final waterfalls of the Hintertuxbach stream. Initially on the orographic left-hand side of the stream, we follow the climbing tracks upwards, soon cross the stream to the other side and have several opportunities to look down into the gorge. About halfway up (after a good 15 minutes) we see a bridge over the stream on the righthand side. You can now continue on this side of the stream on the AV trail 526 (towards Spannagelhaus) to turn right at 1760m above sea level onto a path that leads to the stream and crosses it on a concrete bridge. Entry is directly above over the wide gravel bed. However, it is better to cross this wooden bridge again at about half the ascent distance to the western edge of the gorge. Here, the route leads pathlessly across a meadow up to the clearly recognizable path that runs up from the bottom right. This takes us to the water drainage for the small power station at the bottom of the valley. You can start here (1700m above sea level) if you only want to walk the attractive lower parts of the stream. Otherwise, continue along the path until you can see the wide gravel bed and the waterfalls cascading over it (entry at the northern exit of this gravel bed).
Tour: First in the upper relatively open and not unattractive parts with some smaller rappels down to the water drainage. Here entry into the gorge with many rappels. The anchors are mostly set up for rappels outside the beam. The grain of the rock inspires us just as much as its erosion. One rappel exits in front of a 1.5m diameter hole in the rock (forced passage). There are repeated (emergency) exits via iron clamps. Towards the exit of the tour, you cross under the mighty cover plate of the screw cave. There are several descent options here. Back out in the open, we reach the final waterfalls. Do not descend to the left here, but follow the water arm to the right again to an attractive narrow passage that exits at the level house (after a narrow slip).

If we do not have a second vehicle available, it makes sense for everyone to drive up with their luggage and leave the car at the top. At the exit of the tour, all but one of us can make a "stop". The driver goes alone and without luggage (but with car keys and driver's license) to the car and picks it up. To do this, he follows a footpath on the orographic. right high bank of the Tuxbach.
Tour: The descent begins with a rappel (around 20m) down into the wide streambed. It gradually narrows, and we are impressed by the large opening of the overflow channel at the top right. It is not clear whether the overflow is automatic - in which case there is an extremely high risk - or only manually controlled (in which case call the operator)! The now narrow part of the canyon has beautiful washouts and a varied stream. Most of the steps are downclimbed, with a few rappels, including a 12m rappel where the stream cannot be avoided. The highest rappel (25 m) takes you back to the widened lower part of the canyon, which only offers a few shorter narrow sections.

Tuxbach: Canyon End
Return: As soon as the opportunity presents itself, turn left, then down the stream to a bridge over the Tuxbach. We get off this path and take the footpath in a southerly direction. When we reach the road, we keep left. We cross the Zemmbach on a bridge and 50m further on we come to the parking lot where our car is parked for the exit.

Tuxbach: Parking at Exit
Access: From the A12 (Kufstein - Innsbruck) we turn off at Jenbach onto the B169 into the Zillertal. After 31 km we reach Mayrhofen and drive past the village on the B169. We do not turn off onto the L 6 in the direction of Finkenberg, Lanersbach, Hintertux, but continue on the B169 for another 850m. Immediately after a bus stop, we turn right towards Gasthof Hochsteg. 50m further on, we park our car in the parking lot to the right of the road for the exit. Take the second car and walk 850m back along the B169. Then turn left onto the L 6 and up to Finkenberg. We park it near the upper road bridge over the canyon on the orographic right side of the Tuxbach (see map).

Helltal: Canyon Start
Approach: Now on foot - better still for the time being with a suitable bicycle - first on the orographic. left side of the Hornbaches brook upstream in the direction of Petersbergalpe. After about 600 m we cross to the southern side of the stream. Here further upstream we come after additional well 2 km to a bridge over the Hornbach and again well 500 m further to the so-called Drähhütten. A few hundred meters further we cross again to the southern bank of the Hornbach and reach 2.3 km after the Drähhütten the Petersbergalpe (1280m above sea level). Up to here we are on foot from the car 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once again we continue for about 1.5 km, then we come to the place where "our" brook splashes down from the right.\n\nNow the actual access begins, which is by no means easy to find. We look for tracks that lead up through the forest on the orographic right side of the stream: Out of the forest, we continue upward across meadows.\nSomewhat below the high waterfall, which is filled with avalanche debris into the fall, we traverse to the lower entry into the stream (at about 1550 m a.s.l.).\n\nIf we also want to walk the upper part, which is dangerous especially in the approach, we continue until we can traverse across steep flanks into the large basin. At the foot of a high waterfall, the descent in the upper part begins here at about 1660m above sea level.

Return: At the exit of the descent out on the approach path and back to the car.

2024-05-31: Everything is jumpable. In the middle there are many trees. Small water overflow.
Return: After the canyon widens below the last 7m drop and you have walked through about 100 m of vegetation, you reach the last long pool. From here you can see Prodo again and at its exit a small side ditch comes down from the left. Take absolute care, as this point is almost impossible to see - now you climb up this side ditch for a few meters, then a track emerges from the ditch on the right. Follow this later, keeping slightly to the left, in the direction of the power line. Below this, a clearer path leads uphill towards Prodo, crosses some side streams and leads in serpentines directly to the village. In 2019, this path was sufficiently marked (white-blue AIC markings and it is part of a marked hiking trail) You can also descend about 1 km further along the stream towards Lago di Corbara.

Comment: Einstieg Gamsbach
Approach: From the parking lot, continue on the gravel path to the Stallenalm (1340m altitude). Now we take the hiking trail via the Graf-Thun-Hütte up towards the Naudersalm. We come up to the Rizuelhals (1943m altitude), where the hiking trail branches off. If you want to enter the Naudersbach, descend a little further and then descend to the right through mountain pines into the streambed. For the entry in the more interesting Gamsbach (approx. 30min further on), hike over the ridge behind the Naudersalm and also look for the best path through mountain pines to the first rappel (brittle, approx. 25m high steps - new level 2022 drilled in on the left).
Tour: The Naudersbach begins with many small steps for downclimbing, and is only cut into shortly before the confluence with the Gamsbach (only a few abseiling points). The Gamsbach is longer and more interesting, at one point you can find beautiful giant fossilized snails. It takes about 1.5 - 2 hours to reach the confluence. After that, the beautifully narrow and deep Gamsgartenklamm gorge begins, which takes about 3-4 hours to complete. During the walk through the canyon, tributaries from the side provide more and more water. Due to the long access, the length of the tour and the remoteness, only experienced groups with good planning, the best conditions and good equipment should do the Gamsgartenklamm!

Comment: Zusammenfluss mit Stallenbach
Return: Where the Gamsgartenbach and Stallenbach streams merge, walk up the steep slope opposite without a path for almost 200 meters until you reach a small path towards Bärenrast (approx. 35 minutes in total). Alternatively (e.g. in the dark), you can walk down the Stallenbach to the bridge. To the left of the Stallerbach stream, a path is marked on old maps (see also the map in the photo gallery) along this route - sections of which are also visible on Google Earth - but it is unlikely to be usable today due to landslides and a lack of maintenance and foot traffic.

Return: Where the Gamsgartenbach and Stallenbach streams merge, walk up the steep slope opposite without a path for almost 200 meters until you reach a small path towards Bärenrast (approx. 35 minutes in total). Alternatively (e.g. in the dark), you can walk down the Stallenbach to the bridge. To the left of the Stallerbach stream, a path is marked on old maps (see also the map in the photo gallery) along this route - sections of which are also visible on Google Earth - but it is unlikely to be usable today due to landslides and a lack of maintenance and foot traffic.

Gamsgartenklamm: Waypoint
Approach: From the parking lot, continue on the gravel path to the Stallenalm (1340m altitude). Now we take the hiking trail via the Graf-Thun-Hütte up towards the Naudersalm. We come up to the Rizuelhals (1943m altitude), where the hiking trail branches off. If you want to enter the Naudersbach, descend a little further and then descend to the right through mountain pines into the streambed. For the entry in the more interesting Gamsbach (approx. 30min further on), hike over the ridge behind the Naudersalm and also look for the best path through mountain pines to the first rappel (brittle, approx. 25m high steps - new level 2022 drilled in on the left).

Torrente Grigno: Canyon Start

2025-06-24: At about 2meters of water, all the bolts you need are there, and are good. There are a few occasions where maybe another would be nice, but we managed fine. Numerous features at this flow looked scari...
Approach: Follow the forest path that starts here downhill for about 200 m until the first leftward haipin bend. The access is signposted Apocalipse Now and marked in red and white. In addition, there are blue-white AIC markings. Descend to the right onto a forest ridge and turn left just before a streambed. At the next signpost, descend parallel to the streambed and soon traverse left under a slick wall to the entry. If you have time, you can also follow the signs to Ponte del Diaolo, a natural bridge over the narrowest part of the gorge (round trip about 40min).
Tour: The tour is well secured at the time 13.8.2023 with the possibility of building some rope traverses to avoid being exposed to the water during rappel. Nevertheless, the Torrente Grigno should not be underestimated because of the strong water flow can always form backflows, etc.. After rappelling down into the canyon, after a short walking passages comes the next rappelling point which can be reached or. right by building a rope traverse. After a rappel of about 10m in the dry or. right you come to a not so easy place that must be overcome. Here there is the possibility of climbing or. right. to a dry abseil stand or one builds a ropeway by means of a drift anchor. A rappel directly into the water flow should only be risked by people who know Grigno. Now the really dark part of Grigno begins. A small rappel of about 3m ortographic right follows, which can be overcome by means of a pulley (fixed carabiner) and without which one would get directly into the strong water flow. Several abseils, jumps into turbulent pools and long dark corridors follow which, depending on the time of day, have partial light incidence and lead to wonderful light shows. (The canyon is oriented to the south, i.e. at noon you have the best chance to see beautiful light in the canyon. For about 2.5h you are in this dark corridors where no escape route is possible. After that, the canyon opens and a walking passages of about 30 minutes follows, ending at the dam wall that can be reached from the village of Grigno.

Approach: From here, a footpath leads north down into the canyon, which can be easily seen from the nearby (approx. 100 m) Mirador del Rio Bocaleones. After about 100 meters in altitude, hikers and canyonists reach the bottom of the gorge. For information on access, see: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=71678 Canyonists used to keep to the path for only 50 m after the fence and then head left (SW) down into the bottom of the gorge to the upper parts, but this is now forbidden.
Tour: This is an impressive canyon with a large semi-cave and some extraordinary stalactite formations. It will only carry water after rainfall, but some pools with standing water (quite fresh!) make it advisable to at least bring a wetsuit.

Approach: We follow the signposted path, later path, in the direction of Meilerhütte. After some time we pass a spring and after about 40 min. we reach the high valley , at the lower exit of which we enter the lower gorge section of the Berglein valley. Continuing on the path we see the final passage of the upper part. It now goes steeply uphill in many hairpin bends. After a haipin bend the path starts to climb again in hairpin bends. We come to a gravel creek bed and see on the right a latschenfreie Fläche (GPS: N 47' 24' 41.97 / E 11' 9' 29.95). We cross the dry streambed, climb about 5m (height) to the ridge on the other side of the slope (1590m alt.) and then traverse the open area slightly descending. In doing so, we keep towards a clear gulch in the right part of the mountain pine belt. Here again a recognizable track leads in northern direction towards the canyon rim. We ignore tracks branching off to the right. At GPS: N 47' 24' 47.75 / E 11' 9' 26.84 it is reached. At the edge of the canyon we see a thick root, where we can rappel down into the canyon, which is still dry.
Tour: The initially open canyon narrows continuously. The canyon walls become higher. The higher rappels are found in this first third. A number of smaller rappels and small descents follow. These are partly unpleasant, because the channel is very slippery. Sometimes anchors are missing. After the final passage, which can be seen in the access, one stands again in the high valley above the lower part of the canyons.

Para: Canyon Start
2025-05-30: The path to the start cannot be missed. The rockfall is very well roped, so no problems there. We jumped everything except one rappel. Long river walk at the end, but as beautiful as Audin.
2023-09-13: Almost no running water anymore. Pools not yet stale, but close to it. Much sprinbar to slide too grippy. Perfectly suitable for beginners. However, some stamina required.
Approach: Marked "2" in red on the map from Airole: Back on the road; immediately after the transformer station, take the small road on the right up to the central square (church on the left and fountain in the middle) in Airole. From here, head east up the road with the flat steps (signposted "Rocchetta" and "Basse d'Abellio"). We are now on "Sentiero 1" on the Internet map. We soon turn right at the first junction and 10 minutes later left at another junction, always following the white and red markings. The path now walks in an easterly direction towards the Vall Para, then turns east and after a few hundred meters high above the Valle Para we come to the Torrente Careghin, where we enter.
Tour: Actually a pure "children's" canyon to get used to canyoning. Valle Para is not as attractive as Audin, but is a slightly better overall package (including scenic) than the neighboring Montixi to the north. Mostly low water flow, but clear water. Some jumps up to 7m possible. At the exit of the summer, the last meters are dry. Water level could be checked from the exit. No obvious emergency exits, but you can get out sideways.

Comment: Normaler Parkplatz -zwei Buchten an der Straße die aber eine Sackgasse ist.
Access: Either from Ventimiglia on the SS 20 towards Breil-sur-Roya, Tende, Cuneo and after about 12 km, immediately after a long tunnel, turn right towards Airole or coming from the north (Breil-sur-Roya) after 13 km (from Breil) immediately before the tunnel and the road bridge over the Roya, turn left towards Airole. However, we do not turn left at the first houses up into the village, but continue straight ahead on the old SS 20 and come (first left transformer station(?), then a - usually open - barrier) about 1.5 km after turning off the new SS 20 to the road bridge over "our" stream. Directly behind it is the railroad bridge. Here we park the car in a suitable place. There is no longer a barrier. Ignore the dead end sign. You can get through to the parking lot. We didn't look any further. There are 2 parking spaces for cars at the side of the road. If you arrive with a camper van or similar, you can park at the front on the main road.
Return: After passing under the railroad bridge, climb up to the left and to the road and the car.

Access: From Nice on the N 202 in northern direction 24 km to the Pont (bridge) Charles Albert. Here you can not immediately turn left onto the D 17, but must continue for about 100 m, round a traffic circle, back towards Nice, and then turn right onto the bridge over the Var. Now we go up on the D 17 for about 8 km in the direction of Roquesteron. We reach Gilette, which towers like an eagle's nest over Var and Esteron. We continue on the D 17 for another 4.5 km and then see a dirt road branch off to the left. Here we park our car at the edge of the tarred road.
Return: If the water flow allows, it is best to turn back after the canyon exit and cross the canyon against the current (1 hour to the bridge). If this does not seem possible due to a strong water flow, continue along the river bed, around the next left-hand bend in the river and then look for the start of a path on the orographic right-hand side of the river that leads back over the orographic right-hand ridge (markers 103 - 102 - 101) to the Pont de la Cerise (1.5 hours to this point). From here, take the approach path back up to the parking lot.

Almofrey: Canyon Start
Approach: From the church in Almofrey, head uphill in a southeasterly direction, past a villa whose owner has a stream piped into his garden. After 400 m, on the road that slopes slightly after the crest, you come to the medieval bridge over the Almofrei. After the bridge, turn right and go down to the water. Either you get on here or you continue hiking on the left for about 100 m along or in a canal, overcome a fence and a little later descend on clear tracks to the stream.
Tour: Nice river walk over mature rock, which sometimes requires a bit of climbing (do not tackle when there is a lot of water); many bathers at the beginning; turn back where the streambed becomes bumpy. 2 optional rappels. See photos and video.

Hidan Upper: Canyon Start
Comment: Hidan upper I
Approach: Entry at "P1" directly into the wadi at the basalt slabs (2 min.).\nThe waterfall is bypassed to the right, then you climb 3m on grippy rock down into the streambed. Entry at "P2": On a clear path - in the course down to the left view of the final waterfalls of the first part - down into the wadi (20 min.).
Tour: If we get on at the beginning of the upper part - " P 1" - a river walk between high walls, mostly on grown rock, awaits us. Some swimming stretches, some steps for downclimbing, partly a bit tricky and an impressive final passage with a double waterfall with possible jumps. After that the canyon opens and we can climb up in a right turn to "P 2" (25 min.). As we continue up the 2nd part, the canyon shows a bit more open, but still scenic. We rappelled down a small step that seemed a bit too tricky for downclimbing/sliding/jumping. Then we pass our later exit (up to the right at some larger bushes), but continue walking for about 1 km until we come to the high waterfall called Barta, which signifies the end of an ascent of Wadi Hidan Upper. For the exit we go back the 1 km and then at the mentioned place with the big bushes on the left (northwards) out (see photo 10 at the first photo link - 2007).

Hidan Upper: Parking at Entry
Comment: P1 (Zustieg I. Abschnitt)
Access: We continue on the old "Kings Highway" road "35" (Madaba - Karak). About 65 km from Karak to the north and 10 km after driving through the village of Dhiban, we come to the bridge over the Wadi Wala, the upper reaches of the Wadi el Hidan. If we are coming from the north, it is 24 km from Madaba (city center) to here. We turn off to the south of the bridge and drive 17 km downhill along the wadi. We then arrive at the entry to the upper parts of the Hidan Upper and park our (possibly first) car here. If we have 2 vehicles available or if we only want to walk the lower section of the Hidan Upper, we park our (possibly second) car after another 1.2 km on this road. This is the point where the road "says goodbye" to the wadi in a right-hand bend.
Return: Over the gravel cone with the large bushes we go up to a rock passage, which we climb up near the streambed (not difficult). At the top, we then keep pathless or on goat paths on the orographic. right side of the wadi up the slope and at the top we come across a clear path that we follow continuously. It meets a dirt road that brings us - to the right - to the car ("P2").

Bimah: Canyon Start
2025-04-10: Mandatory jumps at the start. Still clear water despite the dry conditions. Pretty little canyon.
Approach: From the piste directly into the gravelly streambed.
Tour: First in the gravelly and wide streambed to the beginning of the gorge. Then a little downclimb to the key point (point of no return). Here you could previously make a 2m - jump into a pool, but the latter is now sanded up - anno 2015. Although 2 bolts were present, but lugs and nuts were missing. If necessary and with appropriate intuition, one can slip here on friction. Continue with downclimb, also one or two small jumps are possible. Then we are at the confluence with the Wadi Bani Awf. We now pass the sinter "tunnel", the visual highlight of the tour. Then we have to walk and downclimb again. Finally the canyon opens, but only temporarily. At the exit there is again a narrow passage before you finally step out of the narrow walls, see also description Wadi Bani Awf.

After about 25 km we pass the third entrance/exit to Muscat International Airport and leave it about 35 km further (and shortly before its exit - anno 2015) south on Route 13 towards Nakhl, Awabi. After 27.5 km we pass Nakhl and after another 36 km we drive past Awabi towards Rustaq. About 4.4 km after the end of Awabi we turn off Route 13 and head SSW following the signs for "Wadi Bani Awf". After 21 km (from route 13) we have reached the houses of Zammah on the edge of the streambed of Wadi Bani Awf. Up to here you can normally get with a non 4x4 car. Here we leave 1 car - not in the river bed ! - stand. With the second one we go uphill, after 4.1 km on the left is the entry to the side canyon Wadi Bimah.
Return: Out of the canyons onto the dirt road and downstream to Zammah.

Rio Simon (Superiore): Canyon Start
2025-06-17: All anchors good. Only on big one would be nice to make a new one in near future. Otherwise, long approach, some nice sections and a lot of walking. The 25 m waterfall is really cool!
Approach: From the parking lot near the church, walk uphill on the opposite side of the asphalt road and you will immediately reach the small cemetery of Roveredo. Here, to the right of the cemetery, a clearly visible path leads into the woods. Follow this path until you reach a small meadow with a house. Pass the house on the right, up the meadow and above the house in the forest you should see the path again. Follow the path steeply uphill until you reach the hiking trail 424 after about 20 - 25 min. Follow the trail. At about 760Hm (after about 1h) you will come to a small stream, here you should turn right to get to the inferiore part of Rio Simon (this part is the most frequented and is known to most people as Rio Simon, because the upper part is rarely frequented). For the upper part, always stay on path 424. After about 2 hours, at about 900 m, you will reach a small refuge (Stavolo Fondariis). Go past the house in the direction of the woods and you will come to a spring of fresh water. It is advisable, especially on hot days, to fill up your drinking water supply here, if you don't want to drink the water of the Rio Simon. After another 20min the path 424 leads directly through a small tributary into the Rio Simon here is the entry (N46.429797/E013.256769).
Tour: Directly at path 424, which leads through the tributary, there is a single ring on the right, which we have placed with the first 5m steps. After that you are already in the Rio Simon. You can either bypass the next step on the right in the forest or rappel from a tree on the ortographic left bank of the Simon. After a short walking passages and a rappel, on the ortographic left side of the river, there is a tributary and the first narrow section begins with a hanging position on a clamping block. After another walking passages you come to the 2nd narrow passage which is tackled or. left from a ring that we have placed (an old belaystation is located or. right for emergencies). After another longer walking passages comes a small jump and a chute where a rope traverse should be set up (or. left. double hook). This leads to a chain anchor and to the highest rappel in the Rio Simon sup. a 23m waterfall in a beautiful ambience because or. right. above the waterfall another spring flows into the Rio Simon. A relatively long walk and downclimb follows until you come to a double cascade. This was provided by us with rings, but it could also be downclimbed or. right. In any case, it is recommended to "take" the double cascade. The first pool can be jumped from ortographic left after control. The 2nd waterfall in the cascade, can be rappelled from a new ring. or. right (R18 right). Another walking and downclimb follows before coming to the last rappel in the Simon, which can also possibly be jumped. After another long walk and downclimb, you reach the entry of the Rio Simon inferiore - the most frequented part, of the Rio Simon.

Comment: Rio Simon Ausstiegsparkplatz - Keine Wertsachen im Auto lassen, es wurden bereits Autos aufgebrochen
Access: From Carnia take the SS13 (main road) in the direction of Tarvisio. About 3km after the village of Resiutta there is a small tunnel and a bridge over the Fella river. After the bridge turn left towards Roveredo. After a short time there is a bigger road bridge where you can see a big flat streambed. Here is the exit if you want to go through the whole Rio Simon. It is best to leave most of the cars here because there are fewer parking spaces above and otherwise the locals will be disturbed. (N46.398500/E013.263400) With as few shuttle cars as possible, follow the road to the small village of Roveredo. In the last few years an access has been established and for this it is best to park at the small church of Roveredo. But ATTENTION! The Rio Simon is one of the most frequented canyons in Friuli and we do not want to disturb the inhabitants. Therefore, please always ask and, if necessary, if there are already too many cars at the site, use one of the parking lots that you passed before on the approach to the village of Roveredo. (N46.387213/E013.252620) or nearby if it is too busy. Please be considerate of the inhabitants so that we can continue to visit this canyon for a long time without problems.
Return: There are 2 possibilities. If you have problems with your condition or time, you can descend via the access of the Rio Simon inferiore or ortographic right. You walk about 1h - 1,5h back to the parking lot at the church in Roveredo. If you want to do the lower part of the Rio Simon, then you should calculate at least another 3.5 hours. Of course, depending on the group and group size! Here you come out at the lower parking lot of the Rio Simon at the bridge and picnic area. Tour description see Rio Simon inferiore.

2024-09-10: High water at the moment. Only the anchor of the first c70 was hard to reach, becease you need to cross the flow. After that all quite easy. The lower part was nice and sunny.
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the path towards Riva, then the path towards Bédra del Vent (853m), then Nadro (alt.1240m); there follow the path towards the bridge (1260m).
Tour: You start with C60, followed by C50, then comes a longer narrow section (be careful when the water level is high!!!! After the C120 (possibly divisible 70/50) there are some small abseils until the start of the lower part. >> Attention: the water level picture in the book Eldorado Ticino by Nizzola is only valid for the inferior part. For the narrow section in the Intermedio part, there is noticeably less water than the "max picture" in the book shows !!! <<

Badde Omene: Canyon Start
Approach: * * in the plain way; then at most cairns.

Badde Omene: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Nuoro or Oliena, we turn right from the SP46 for 4.3 km from the point where the eastern road exit of Oliena joins the ring road and we go for 2.4 km to the Su Cologone spring. About 200m before reaching the large parking lot, we turn right into the Valle di Lanaitto. There follows a climb on a narrow tarred road that later becomes a dirt road. After 3.6 km, a dirt road goes off to the left over a bridge. Here we park our car.
Return: See route sketches

Approach: Pass the church, cross the road bridge and follow the village road for about 500m until a sand road branches off to the right in the direction of Werbutzalm. Follow this forest road for about 120m until another forest road branches off to the left in a right-hand bend next to a spring area. Follow this road for 300m and then branch off to the right onto another overgrown forest road (blue dot on tree to the left and right of the road). Follow this road for about 1km until you can see the wide gravel bed of the Vorderbergbach stream. Turn right here across the flat slope downstream until you can descend over the erosion edge into the streambed. You reach the stream immediately above a high scree dam at the entrance to the gorge. If you only want to climb the last 7 rappels of the tour, you can follow the old, long-abandoned gorge path from the church into the gorge. Secured by a wire rope, the route leads over a few hairpin bends past a destroyed bridge until you can descend into the streambed via a rickety, 25m-high metal rope ladder.
Tour: 16 abseiling points on solid but old material. You can almost always avoid the powerful water jet. Pools are generally covered with gravel. From the intermediate entry point, the tour is commercially accessible - better belays and fixed ropes to the stands.

Punta Camedda: Canyon Start
Approach: So we go first on the slope, then the subsequent hiking trail "102" up to the saddle "Genna Eidadi" at 1026m altitude. We follow the path for a short distance, then we leave it to climb up to the ridge through a hollow on the left. From here we go essentially horizontally under the ridge descending from Punta Cammedda in a northeasterly direction. In doing so, we can stay below a contour line of 1050m. We pass 3 larger cirques and then in the fourth smaller cirque we come to the starting point of our descent. When we pass 2 smaller trees standing next to each other, we are right.\n(See map sketch in "Photo Gallery")\nSee also:
Tour: The route in the Gole d Punta Cammedda is a succession of about 10 fairly vertical rappels, mostly with a respective length between 25 and 35 meters. In between, one is busy downclimbing. Often the rappeling is done from trees.

Punta Camedda: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We leave the highway - coming from Cagliari - at the Sanluri exit and take the SS197 west. We pass San Gavino Monreale and then turn left on the SP4 to Gonnosfanadiga. We pass through the town and head southwest towards the "Parco Communale Perd'e de Pibera". About 2.5 km after leaving the town, we come to a concrete bridge that leaves to the right over the Riu Piras. Continuing on the "main road", after a few meters we come to a dirt road that goes off to the right. Depending on the condition of the road and the robustness of our car, it makes sense to park it here instead of continuing on the road for another 500m (see Google-map in "photo gallery").
Return: After the last rappel, look for a way to the trail that we climbed. On this again down to the car.

Approach: From the big parking lot you follow the gravel road until you reach a signposted (left) parking lot --> at this parking lot you continue for about 100m until you reach the next strong (right) bend --> from here you go down steeply to the left until you reach a ruin --> you pass the ruin on the left (small yellow sign) --> after that you keep to the left until you reach the streambed (blue markings on the trees) (entry altitude approx. 670Hm).####merge-end####
Tour: This canyon is very beautiful but has dark pools and many slippery places, at the beginning small walking passages --> then follow countless toboggans that you can easily slide --> the next 2 places you can rappel (2x C14 r.) --> the upper of the 2 rappel you can also slide --> short walking distance --> next slide 8m or li. on the rope traverse to a tree S11 (this place can also be left. T7 --> E3 (r.) --> walking passages with rock windows --> several small slides and climbs in the water (! partly stones in the pool) --> at large boulders jump or rappel (6m) over glued anchors possible (! at much water dangerous current) --> jump or rappel 7m in large pools --> T7 in shallow pools with strong current (at much water r.) --> next slide 8m or r. at the rope railing up to a tree S11 (this place can also be avoided r.) --> T7 --> E3 (r.) --> walking passages with rock windows --> several small slides and climbs in the water (! partly stones in the pool) --> at large boulders jump or rappel (6m) over glued anchors possible (! at much water dangerous current) --> jump or rappel 7m in large pools --> T7 in shallow pools with strong current (! at much water r.) over traverese rope to tree and rappel 12m in big pools) --> T4 (C6 left) --> the highlight of the tour is a slide that first goes 4m shallow and then without seeing the landing 11m in free fall in big deep pools (!slide posture with upper body far back) --> S-curve slide in nice washed out rock pool --> several small toboggans for jumping and sliding --> C15 over chain anchor left. (or R15 right) --> T6, T7 --> S7 (left) --> S7 --> at the last listed jumps and slides it is possible to rappel on the right side if there is a lot of water --> before the last jump there is a rope traverse (left) where the pools can be avoided --> after the last small flat slides there is a bigger pool --> the exit is on the left side at about 500Hm.

Mandriale: Canyon Start
Approach: Various access points. The most interesting is the lower part.

Mandriale: Canyon End
Return: Exit at the (lower) road bridge

Zipfelsbach: Canyon Start
Approach: On a steep hiking trail in the direction of Zipfelsalpe. At a fork with a bridge, continue to follow the path to the Zipfelsalpe. This path now moves away from the stream for about 400 meters. When the path approaches the stream again after a few switchbacks, you will see a stepped waterfall. Then one more haipin bend and enter above this stepped waterfall (1200m altitude).\n

Zipfelsbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: On the main road to Hinterstein. Parking at the fire station.
Return: On hiking trail back to the car

Zipfelsbach: Canyon End
Return: On hiking trail back to the car

Rio Bianco: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot 200m along the road, then turn right onto a sand road that you follow slightly uphill to the Kersnitzensattel. From here descend to Stallensattel (1496m) where you change to the marked Kärntner Grenzweg, which leads downhill to the Rio Bianco valley. You cross some gravel gullies (partly wire rope safety devices) until the valley becomes wider. Good descent to the Rio Bianco in the area of the second streambed crossed: first easily through the scree bed until you are in front of a small waterfall, bypass it on the left on Gamssteig and downclimb into the streambed. In the Rio Bianco descend a few more 100m until you reach the wooden beams of an old hermitage. Here is the entry.
Tour: Oberste Klause 1324m - Hauptklause 1099m Open canyon with some nice possible jumps, the highlight is the 'Wendlingbad', a deep pool in the white rock with a metal plaque. A few 100m further on is the only equipped abseil point in this part: below a clamping block, a sling leads 8m into a short gorge. Then about 1000m of hiking in the wide gravel bed. Main chasm 1099m - end of gorge 946m The canyoning part of the tour. Short gorges alternate with wider parts - it is hardly possible to leave the canyon. * 15m rappel over 2 pools from anchors with sling left * 6m rappel from anchor left * 10m rappel from anchor left * 4m downclimb left over clamping block, side stream from right * From here great rock folds * 8m rappel from tree * 28m rappel from 2 anchors + sling from block in the middle of the river * Downclimb * 14m rappel from anchors with slings on the left * 4m rappel from jammed tree * 20m rappel from 2 anchors + sling left, this belay is unfavorably placed and it is questionable whether it will survive many floods. * 15m downclimb right End of gorge 946m - last gorge 710m 300m of block climbing until the canyon narrows again and eats its way through black slate. Here a 10m abseil from a clamping block + sling on the left. Then downclimb and slide until the canyon widens and flattens out. From here, a long hike (>2 km) in the wide gravel bed until you reach the last gorge: rappel 20m from a tree on the right and downclimb 15m keeping right. The rest of the gorge is scenically impressive but easy to walk.

Missoghju: Canyon Start

Missoghju: Canyon End

Scarione: Canyon Start
Approach: At the houses to the north of the hamlet, a path begins that climbs steeply to Alpe Al Monte at 1002m. Before reaching the alp, we cross the Torrente Ambiez. In this stream channel we descend and come to the here wide gravel bed of the Torrente Scarione coming from the left. A few meters further and we are at the first rappel at the beginning of a continuous narrowing.
Tour: A total of 15 rappels in gneiss, including a C120 (70) and a C90 (30/60).\nNormally low water flow.

Scarione: Canyon End
Return: Where the canyon opens, out to the right and to the car in Porettina.

Scarione: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Chiavenna on the SS36 for a little over 6 km until the railroad crossing after the San Cassiano (Valchiavenna) village crossing. After the railroad crossing continue for about 800 and then turn left off the SS36 to the houses of Porettina. Here we park our car in a suitable place.
Return: Where the canyon opens, out to the right and to the car in Porettina.

Ribeira das Patas med.: Canyon Start
Approach: On a dirt road in the side valley downhill we reach the Rib. das Patas.
Tour: Varied canyons hike

Ribeira das Patas med.: Intermediate Canyon Exit
Comment: Ausstieg med., Einstieg inf.
Access: From Porto Novo in western direction ('Tarrafal') you pass the ital. Cement factory (on the right of the road) and after about 10 km you reach the Ponte Sul (150 m above sea level), which spans the Ribeira das Patas. After the bridge, the road to Tarrafal turns left, but we turn right and after about 3 km we reach Lagedos.At the first houses and the bridge over a side 'stream' of the Patas is the place where we have to organize our return transport at the end of our tour.Voererst but it continues steadily uphill. About 3 km after the village, at a bridge (about 600m a.s.l.) several short rappel canyons descend to the right to the riverbed of the Patas (cf. Internet sites).We continue, pass some houses on the road, which now makes a sharp right turn. This is followed by a long left turn and another sharp right turn (about 6 km from Lagedos). Here the road bridge spans a side 'stream' of the Patas, which we enter under the bridge (Rib. das Lajes or Layes). If we were to continue uphill on the road for another 500 m or so, we would come to the village of Cha de Morte.
Return: After one of several narrows, a sloping slope descends at the beginning of a long right-hand bend of the canyon. The rising stone walls support the path that we now go up. We reach the houses at the southern edge of Lagedos and soon stand at the pick-up point already mentioned above.

Approach: first as at Marderello inferiore: we take the path that leads from the car towards the clearly visible final waterfall of the Claretto. We come to the stream, cross it and climb steeply on a path on the orographic right bank. We come across a forest path, follow it and then we see on the right, a little below, the small diversion channel (possibility of emergency exit if necessary) and we come to an alpine hut ("La mojùn de paréin Steu"). We now take the path on the right down into the canyon (signpost "Tordupi") and quickly reach the bridge over the Rio Claretto. After the bridge, turn right and go slightly downhill to a small hut. Continuing on the path in a southeasterly direction, we come to the entry point to the lower part via via ferrata.\n\nWe now continue here on the path on the orographic. right slope above the Marderello uphill. We pass a house.\nAt about 1360m altitude, the possibility opens to cross into the stream (entry altitude about 1340m). This entry is here below an approx. 25m high rappel.\nBut there is also the possibility to climb further up, to enter at about 1460m (then 4 more rappels are added in the descent (15m-15m-40m-25m). We climb here into a fairly open streambed with quite a mess of rocks.\n
Tour: Depending on the height of the ascent, about 11 or 15 rappels to the beginning of the lower part in a canyon that becomes visibly narrower and deeper.

Approach: From P 2 we walk down the slope in a northerly direction, crossing - once at the bottom - on the slope the Wadi Afra just before it flows into the Wadi Hasa. We follow the track which soon reaches the streambed of the Wadi Hasa. We are standing on a limestone slab into which the water of the Hasa has eaten its way about 5 m deep.
Tour: Since no descent option is opened at the waterfall at the beginning, we climb down a few meters further downstream and can explore the narrows up and down from here. Then we continue downhill in open terrain at first. Thermal springs and hot tributaries can be found repeatedly along the banks. Then the river continuously descends further, the walls on the shore become higher. Interesting rock formations such as the "submarine" captivate our gaze. Towards the exit the Hasa flows between high reddish rock walls in a gravel bed. Finally, the river emerges into the plain near the town of Safi.

Hasa Lower: Parking at Entry
Comment: P1 (Zustieg) Hasa Lower, falls nicht Zustieg P2 (Ausstieg) Hasa upper, falls nicht Afra nach oben zum Thermalbad P1 oder P Afra, je nachdem, ob man ihn abwärts (dann P2 Ausstieg)
Access: First we park the car for the exit (if possible the day before). For this we drive from the city of Karak on the "50" down to the Dead Sea. After 26.2 km we come to the T-junction "Mazra Junction" and there we continue to the left on the "65" towards Aqaba. After about 24 km we pass the city of Safi in the northwest and after 25.8 km (from Mazra Junction) we cross the streambed of Wadi Hasa. After another 3.1 km we turn left to a district of Safi, which is located on the orographic left bank. We walk along the road that approaches the Wadi Hasa and later walks directly along its orographic left bank, passing a water reservoir, to the exit. Here, on the bank of the Wadi Hasa, we can park the car in the shade of some trees. Back in Karak, we then drive with the second car on the "50" about 3.5 km to the east and turn south on the latter at the junction with the "35". From the intersection we drive 31 km to the bridge over the Wadi Hasa and then 6.7 km after the bridge we turn right at an acute angle onto the road to the thermal bath "Hammamat Afra" or "Hammam Burbeita". On this road we drive 9 km from the junction and then come to the parking lot P1, where one would park the car for the access to the Wadi Hasa Upper, if one wanted to combine its access with the access to the Wadi Hasa Lower. However, this is not advisable, because the whole tour would then take about 11 to 12 hours. In addition, the Hasa Lower offers a similar lime canyon as the Hasa Upper at its entry. So we continue from P1 and after 2 km we arrive at P2. Here we park the car for the access.
Return: Here we climb out to the left bank and are immediately at the car.

Approach: On the SE side of the bridge - Pont de Cavallaghiu - down into the streambed.
Tour: In the open streambed to the water drainage, then the C30. Then again a longer walking passages with some places to downclimb, before we come to the highlight. Here the creek deepens about 30m, the rappel, mostly in the open slope, take place under large trapped rocks. Direct rappeling after the clamping blocks is also possible. A little later another nice rappel (C20). A varied descent with slides and jumps follows.

Return: At the confluence of the streambed that comes down to the right of the Auberge des Roches bleues (cairn at the exit), a path leads up on the orographic left side of this dry streambed (seen from below at the right foot of the slope) and meets the D-81 not far from the Tete du Chien. This path - discovered by me by chance in 1997 - is pleasant, evenly rising and mostly shaded. In the book Corse Paradis du Canyoning a difficult way back - pathless up the opposite, well sunny, slope - is described. On page 79 (No. 14) in the printed map section, however, this footpath is also marked. In the meantime, this way back can also be found in the book by Jourdan/Fiorina.

Jerman: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking you can walk up the small footpath along the creek. Entry where you can climb the easiest to the streambed below.
Tour: First part is easy with a few short rappels and small jumps (water is not very deep - first dive out). After the first part you walk along the creek for a few 100m (small abseiling passages) and enter the second part. Before you can see the first high waterfall from the top, you need a few pitons-it's best to climb down or make ropes around rocks.

Jerman: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: At Gozd Martuljek drive north to Srednji vrh. You can leave the car at the second bend and walk along the creek.
Return: Best from Brucke, along strase again up.

Approach: From the cemetery, we follow Sentiero 365, which leads up to Cima Montagna (1333 m). However, we don't have to go that far up, but follow the path from the saddle (1250 m above sea level), which is sometimes difficult to recognize, down to the entry into the Val di Cima Montagna - a sense of direction is required on the descent. Or follow trail 365 until it crosses the streambed at around 1400m. The start is mostly dry and not bolted (>natural anchor or bypass). First anchor at approx. 1250 m (as of 2022)
Tour: Attractive descent dominated by a 75 m cascade right at the start. This is divided into approx. 35m / 40m (as of 2022). The information does not include a subsequent ascent of the Valmontina (see description there). If you want to continue through the Valmontina, the water flow there should be critically examined (if necessary from the footbridge over the Bosco Bello).

Approach: From the parking lot follow the wide gravel path towards the canyon --> then several small descent paths to the already visible canyon --> once at the stream, take the left side to the narrow section (entry approx. 560m). see:
Tour: Right at the beginning you get a good foretaste of the next 30min after you have again in a little space to puff --> to get to the first downclimb you have to downclimb left (slippery) --> from the clamping block you rappel about 6m into the narrowness --> then follows a 30m long very narrow swimming passage max. 0.5m wide --> r. comes a traverese rope which is needed in any case until the end (very narrow and slippery!) in order to be able to rappel down approx. 9m well, the first one should go to the foremost chain link (after the traverese rope) and set up the rope needed for this --> this approx. 30m long narrow passage is very tricky, as one can only advance with good spreading technique. In addition, the gap narrows towards the bottom where the water usually has a strong current --> towards the end the distance to the wall is only 0.5m --> a trapped tree gives a short rest --> after that slipping is not allowed --> once you have mastered this most difficult part it is not quite so narrow anymore --> now you have a canyon in front of you, which is difficult to describe with words (by incident light there are sparkling walls, emerald green water in narrow swimming passages, stalagmites, sinter curtains, ornate passages and breathtaking wall gullies) --> after approx. 1h there is another highlight, a 2m long siphon (boulder) --> after about 30m swim you come to a dam (weir) --> downclimb 2m (slippery) and then leave the canyon to the left. Attention! In the first waterfall is a "hole" behind the curtain.

Peonera (superior): Canyon Start
Approach: From San Saturnino westwards down to the river (15 min.). If you only have 1 vehicle available, you can walk north from the parking lot north of Morano along the track that starts here. After a bend to the right, a track branches off to the left, which we follow to a saddle. It continues to wind its way northwards (parallel to the Rio Alcanadre to the east). Beyond the Alcanadre you can see the houses of San Saturnino. The track that leads off to the right takes us to the river (90 minutes in total). Access options also via Bco. os Arenales/Hondo (see video and photos 2014 and ), at the Puente d'o Caxigo (footpath to the Eremita de San Martin) and via Fajana del Ordio (see map sketch at "Sierras de piedra y agua. Barranquismo en Huesca - Parque de la Sierra de Guara - Sierras exteriores" , Enrique Salamero, 2002).
Tour: Although the Alcanadre (in summer) has no water at the beginning, this changes as you enter the narrows. The exit over a rock ramp at a sharp left bend of the river is easier to see if you have already entered the Peonera inferiore here.

Peonera (superior): Canyon End
Return: After the canyon narrows again after a longer widening, it makes a striking left turn after a few hundred meters. Go straight up the cirque (access to the Peonera inferiore) and follow the path, first keeping to the right, later in a long left turn back to the vehicle in the parking lot north of Morano (45 min.). You can also continue along the subsequent Peonera inferiore. There, after the right-hand bend in the following left-hand bend. There is also another exit option on the right up to Morano.

Approach: as Claretto inferiore: we take the path that leads from the car towards the final waterfall of Claretto, clearly visible. We come to the stream, cross it and climb steeply on a path on the orographic right bank. We come across a forest path, follow it and then we see on the right, a little below, the small diversion channel (possibility of emergency exit if necessary) and we come to an alpine hut ("La mojùn de paréin Steu"). We now take the path on the right down into the canyon (signpost "Tordupi") and quickly reach the bridge over the Rio Claretto. After the bridge, turn right and go slightly downhill to a small hut. Continuing along the path in a southeasterly direction we come to a via ferrata where we can descend into the streambed of the Marderello.
Tour: 10 rappels, mostly higher, to the imposing final waterfall.

Approach: From said intersection on the D 12 about 300 m in a northerly direction slightly uphill, then turn left onto a small road that runs below the D 12 in a westerly direction. After about 600 meters you pass two large concrete well troughs and shortly thereafter cross the Gourdon. Here you look for the access through the vegetation at some distance from the stream.
Tour: As long as there is water flowing in the summer, the Gourdon is quite attractive, not least because of its surroundings. The D3 road bridge divides the descent into two parts. In the lower section, several steel cables, which were obviously installed to emphasize the fun character, get in the way.

Approach: We continue on the forest road, not up the hairpin bend on the left, but along the orographic. right bank of the Ire. We cross the Ire and the track now goes steeply uphill. We finally reach a stone building (Refuge Fayard) with a well in front of it. From here we go eastwards to the stream and follow it downwards on the left bank until the entry presents itself.
Tour: Forest canyon, mainly for nature-loving "collectors", poorly secured, water cold, a lot of wood (2009), after the narrower part at the beginning emergency exits possible.

Comment: Arrivée au collecteur (descente)
Return: After the higher rappels towards the exit (28 m/13 m/40 m/15 m), walk further down the streambed and overcome 2 smaller steps. Then a small stream walks in from the right. This is the Ire. The French book and the internet site now describe an exit by walking up the Ire a little against the direction of the river until you reach a dilapidated footbridge, where you come to a path that leads up to a forest road in an easterly direction. Follow this downhill to return to the parked car. Alternatively, you can follow the Ire down the streambed to the bridge. A higher waterfall can be downclimbed at the edge. Another variant would be to leave the Ire at a V-shaped gulch on the left and follow a relatively clear track. You then come to an open area (after logging), follow the tracks (beginning at the north-eastern edge of the clearing) northwards high above the Ire until you see a slope above on the left. Up to this, it leads to the ascent track and on this back to the car. For this last variant, you need a bit of "feeling" to find the path.

Access: From Annecy on the N 508 along the southwest shore of the lake of the same name via Duingt to the south end of the lake at Bout-du-Lac (17 km from Annecy). 2 km further on (i.e. after 19 km from Annecy), the D 909 branches off to the left in a northerly direction to lead to Talloires on the eastern shore of the lake.\nBut we turn off in exactly the opposite direction to the south and always drive along the little river Ire to the east past the village of Doussard, later to the east (below) the hamlet of Chevaline into the Combe (= canyon) d'Ire. Park your car in the large parking lot in front of the barrier (approx. 6 km from N 508).

Approach: Straight down to the creek.
Tour: Dark forest canyon not without charm, which can be dangerous if there is too much water (backflow), but if there is too little water, the existing pollution becomes clear. Possibly prohibited seasonally when there is little water flow, In the mentioned literature finding, it should be possible to park at the bottom in another place and access on foot from down there.

Approach: In the village, walk in front of the church, before the short staircase turn right underneath a row of houses in the direction of the fields. Behind the house, briefly turn left and then soon right again across the meadow into the northeast corner of the cultivated fields. Here we find a wayside shrine and just behind it the beginning of a clear path. After passing the wayside shrine, we go downhill in switchbacks. We ignore the first path branching off in a serpentine, our path branches off to the left about 130m before reaching the bridge (stone man). Ascend about 10hm into a small saddle, then descend straight into the shallow valley on the other side. We soon reach a small house on the canyon rim. Here we now descend (yellow markers) to the bottom of the gorge - handrails are provided in sections.\n\Man can also ascend from the lower parking lot to the entry. The path is registered in the OSM but should be difficult to find.
Tour: * Short downclimb * 18m rappel from chain on the right (can be jumped after 4m, narrow but deep pool) * 5min downclimb * 12m rappel or jump * 28m rappel from chain right. You can also rappel two meters in advance through a crevice into the dome behind the waterfall. If there is a lot of water, however, it can be difficult to pass under the waterfall. * 50m swim in a great atmosphere * 15m rappel from chain on the right, can also be jumped * 18m rappel from the chain on the left * 15m rappel from the chain on the top left This is followed by another longer swim through the last pool, which is bordered by a dam. Climb up the left side of the dam over iron pins and then rappel 8m from two anchors on the right.

Access: Coming from the south on the SS33, we drive past Domodossola and take the exit to the north of this town. From here we head east and then cross the bridge over the Isorno to the orographic left bank of the river. Here we continue upstream to the exit of the road (P2 - parking exit). The last 3.5 km are on a bumpy sand road. Take the second car back across the Isorno and then up to Altoggio. Here we park either in the large square at the entrance to the village or near the church. See approach and relocation sketch in photo gallery.
Return: After the last rappel and the large pool, we climb down over the small dam and exit about 50m to the left via an overgrown forest road. In 2017 there were dozens of beehives in the exit area, so be careful.

Approach: At the southern exit of Surjoux, we follow a small road in a basically westerly direction. It crosses a small piece of forest, then moves in a right/left loop through a farmstead, becomes a dirt road. After about 800m from the exit of Surjoux, we reach a high-voltage pylon (you could also drive to here by car) and follow a path from it in a northerly direction to the stream.
Tour: Longer stretches in the mostly sintered streambed are not unpleasant. On the other hand, some attractive passages with possible jumps, especially the sintered final waterfall.

2025-08-28: Beautiful canyon! Crystal clear water!!! Perfect anchorages!!! Left car at exit, 40 min for walking up, very veritical trail. Must do!!!
Approach: At the barrier on the left side of the road begins the descending path which you follow to the streambed (old bridge wall)--> entry at approx. 450Hm. If you want to get on foot, cross the Rio Lavarie on the cycle path. Immediately afterwards, follow the lush red color markings to a power pole (steep), then even steeper over footprints up the ridge until you stand in front of a rock face with a chain and step clamps. Climb up here and continue steeply to the ridge. Turn left on a fairly good path until it is overgrown, just before this turn diagonally left following the footpaths and cairns to the normal access path to Lavarie. 30-40min
Tour: Arrived at the streambed, after a short walking passages you come to the first step that can be downclimbed on the left. After that, in a narrowing canyon, comes the 1st short rappel point followed by a not visible about 35m high rappel point which is best reached via a removable traverese rope left. After this rappel point, the mostly incised part of the canyon begins. Small twists, steps and a 5m rappel occur in this part. At the end of the 100m narrow section, the canyon opens again briefly. You come to a 5m step that can be rappelled or slid. Here you also meet the right tributary Rio Barbar. Continue with rappel in the water stream, first 15m left, then about 10m right. After that you have several possibilities to rappel. In case of strong water flow you should stretch a traverese rope across the chute to the hidden piton on the left side, then rappel outside the water flow for about 30m to the lower chain anchor on the right. From the chain anchor it goes without visual contact, either 25m to the right intermediate belaystation or a good 40m to a belaystation on the left with a traverese rope (! the traverese rope together with the bolthook is often destroyed by the water). The final rappel on the left has about 30m or on the right from the intermediate belaystation about 40m. After the final waterfall you walk a short distance along the streambed to a large rock step which you climb down on the right. After the 1st bridge the tour ends at about 270Hm.

Access: Coming from Carnia, take the SS13 in the direction of Tarvisio. About 1,5 km after the Hotel Carnia, at a left turn (km 172) and after the brown sign "Moggio Udinese" you will find on the right side a parking possibility at the exit of the canyon. . You can shorten the access by taking a second car to Stavoli Ravorade. With the second car you go back towards Carnia (Udine). After the traffic junction at Carnia, cross a bridge with tracks underneath. Shortly after, you should turn left towards Tugliezzo, but this is not possible because of the barrier line, so you have to turn right towards Carnia. At the exit turn right and follow this road stopping on the left (goes under the SS13 road) at the crossroads go straight on towards Tugliezzo. An asphalted road winds up next to the huge gravel field towards the few houses of Tugliezzo. After the houses on the plateau, the road descends with a sharp bend to the right, passing a barrier and the bridge that crosses the Rio Lavarie. For the Rio Lavarie it is best to park the car after the bridge at the left gravel place. If you want to go the right tributary (Rio Barbar) of the Lavarie so you look a little further up just before another bridge, where there is a large boulder field (strong left bend), a parking possibility.
Return: Before the 2nd bridge you climb right out of the streambed. In a short time you will reach the parking lot.

Approach: From the parking lot down the footpath to the stream (rappeling over the Pain du Sucre - the large stalagmite in the stream - is prohibited).
Tour: The view of the Pain du Sucre in the rocky basin is the best thing about this tour - even if you are not allowed to rappel over it. Although a sign on the access to the basin with the Pain du Sucre reads "Canyoning interdit", the actual ban only applies to rappels over the Pain du Sucre. In general, be careful on sintering. After the first C 15, you walk under a rock face, the ledge of which can also be climbed (at least partially) from above as the "Banc des Dames" (sign to the right of the ascent slope, before it bends to the west towards the tarred road). You can also park your car (or a second car) at this bend.

Comment: von da auf dem Wanderweg zum Pain du Sucre
Access: From Artemare (the way there described at Canyon Groin) and there from the Place de la Liberté on the D 31 running north (Cote d'Yon). In serpentines it goes up to the hamlet Don. We leave the first bridge over the Groin to the left. Over the 2nd bridge (Pont du Diable) we drive on the orographic right side of the Groin. Now we drive continuously in direction NNW and come to Champagne-en-Valromey. In the center of the village we keep to the right, leave the village via Grande Rue (D 30) and come (staying left at the next road junction) to the houses of Poisieu. Here, at the T-junction on the right, after about 1.5 km, we reach a parking lot on the right of the road ("Pain du Sucre" - sign). Park the car here.
Return: After passing under the bridge, another C 15 awaits us and, after a 300 m run, 5 smaller diagonal abseils (some of which are slippery). After the last one, a path leads steeply up the right bank. You come to a path which you climb up to the left. You come to another dirt road, which you follow to the right until you see the tarred road, which you follow to the right to the car.

Approach: From the Santuari we take the footpath down towards Queralbs. The path descends along the orographic right side of the slope of Nuria. Then it crosses the river and the railroad line. A little later we see the diversion structure where we enter.\n\nAlternatively, of course, you can walk up to the entry from below.
Tour: The concrete sill for water drainage at the beginning should be only partially coated by the overflowing water, as water is added in the canyon itself.3 parts linked by footpath; the last part is modest. Attractive slide and possible jumps.

Rio Tralba (Inferiore): Canyon Start

Approach: From the parking lot at the signpost, follow the forest road to the fork. Here you continue on the left until you reach the reservoir in about 15 minutes. Arrived at the reservoir with the emerald green water, look for an inconspicuous path on the orographic left side (about 10m before the dam wall), which you follow into the forest. After a few meters of altitude, the path flattens out. White/blue markings serve for orientation, whereby the further course from the path is well recognizable. Attention. The path is partly very exposed and leads in about 1 hour over several ditches and a small bridge to the dam wall or entry of the Tralba Inferiore. Entrance altitude approx. 700Hm.
Tour: Arrived at the dam wall should first be checked the amount of water before you dare the first approx. 12m jump into the cold water (rappel also possible). The next place is then rappelled. Continuously and aquatic it goes on. Several jumps, slides and abseils alternate before you reach the impressive double abseil. Here, at the latest, you feel the power of the water. During the upcoming 25m rappel, you can also rappel 20m and jump 5m from an edge that is not visible from above. The second 30m rappel follows immediately afterwards, whereby the right hand side is very exposed. After the very aquatic double rappel comes the less aquatic part of the tour. One climbs about 20min. over boulders, before one comes to the next dry rappelling point. After that follows another 20 minute downclimb and walking section before you come to the last rappel and the Rio Alba (Attention: The penultimate rappel is again directly in the watercourse and should not be underestimated!).

Approach: From the road bend in a northerly direction on paths to the albarine and the entry.
Tour: Due to wastewater discharge from the sewage treatment plant located above the entry, the sequence of high waterfalls is relatively rarely walked.\nBefore the road pushes through the mountain bar, a path on the left (northward) descends to the waterfall to below the first cascade (possibly also emergency exit)\nGood to combine with the nearby Canyon de Chaley.

Zintgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: It is best to take bicycles so you can save about 30 minutes on the access as well as on the way back. At the exit of the parking lot, over the bridge on the left side, along the forest path (which follows the walk from the river) to the last waterfall. Leave the bikes there. Follow the path and take the first turn to the left, the forest path leads to the streambed (direction Schranbach alm). It is possible to get in about 100 meters further up (so you can walk through 1 more waterfall and 2-3 small pools). On foot via the Kaseregg chapel.
Tour: 6 rappels up to approx. 20 meters, quite slippery. Steps to downclimb, a few small slides and a jump possibility about 2 meters before the first rappel. Be sure to take enough equipment, there is no known repetition.

Approach: On the side of the fountain there is a path with the signs "Lualt, Madonna di Monte, Bignasco" and Sentiero di montagna. The trail continues left up the mountain, passing several small streams, chapels and houses. For the tour and the long access (mostly wooded) you should take enough to drink! At a fork in the road (at a considerable height) turn left. After some time you will come across a ruin and then a beautiful stone cottage on an open area. The trail continues to the left and passes other ruins. After an open space you can already see one of the high waterfalls. From here you continue to a stone house at about 990 meters above sea level, surrounded by beech trees. There, on the left side, a steep path leads down to the stream/bridge at about 890Hm. Even further up (from the stone house), at the large bridge that leads over the stream, getting on does not necessarily pay off (only some entertaining slides).
Tour: This canyoning tour is only for absolute canyoning professionals who like high technical rappels. The slides and jumps at the beginning of the tour are very entertaining, although not always easy to assess. Some blockages and steps can be bypassed via the slope. Not too much time should be wasted on the small steps anyway, as the high rappels are very technical and time consuming. Communication at the intermediate levels is not always easy due to the rappelling height and the rushing of the water. Also, the pitons/eyes should be checked before hooking up (some were loose/defective on our ascent!). There are some emergency exits (see topographic view in the book Eldorado Ticino), which mostly lead over steep terrain. Overall, for the long access, the tour offers some entertaining slides/jumps and lots of high rappels with nice views. The beginning and final part can be skipped / bypassed depending on your mood.

Approach: Go back down from the cemetery to SP 548 and continue on it to the houses on both sides of the road. At the last house on the right, a dirt road goes up in a northerly direction to a concrete water tank. Passing it on the right, we follow the following path in serpentines upwards. We then see another water tank on the left. The path always runs relatively close to the edge of the valley that the Boetto has ditched. It goes up and up and finally we meet the tarred road that crosses from Grattino. However, we don't go all the way up to the road, but a few meters before we take the dirt road that goes to the right (NNO) in a roughly horizontal way. After a while we pass some houses with vineyards around, we go on and come to two uninhabited houses with a small flat area a little above. From here a path enters the sparse woods and brings us to the streambed of the Boetto.

Access: Leave the Italian A 10 (Genoa - Nice) at the Arma di Taggia exit (roughly halfway between Imperia and Ventmiglia). Then take the SP 548 up the Argentina valley towards Triora. After about 16 km you will pass through the small village of Agaggio. About 400 m after the village you reach the bridge over the Boetto (with a few houses further along the road). As there is practically no possibility to park your car properly here on the edge of the SP 548, drive up the steep concrete road on the right before the bridge and park next to the cemetery. If you have a second vehicle available for a transfer, you can drive it about 500 m further along the SP 548 and then up a narrow private road as far as possible to Grattino.
Return: Before or after the road bridge, go out to the left and to the cemetery.

Approach: Cross the Torrente Cordevole and head towards the opposite cut of the Val Fogarè. Here you meet a footpath that you follow downstream in a southerly direction. After a few hundred meters, turn right up a path that will take you in about an hour to the middle entry at the water diversion (the map sketch by P. v. Duin on p. 277 is inaccurate in this regard!). \n \nIf we want to take the upper entry, we follow the path along Torrente Cordevole further downstream until another blue-marked path goes up the slope on the right. Many balue and a few red points lead first to Col de la Caseta (822 m), then further up to Col dei Pors (1110 m), a flat ice saddle. Here the path gets lost in the high grass. Cross the saddle straight for about 150m until you meet the markings again at a multi-trunked tree. At first keep slightly to the left uphill through mountain pines and pines to soon find a sign 'Monte Alta' on the right side of the ridge. Here, keep to the right and follow the slightly descending path until you reach a small wooden sign 'Canyon'. Follow the direction of the arrow and descend steeply and pathlessly for about 100 meters (keep slightly to the left) until you reach an indistinct cross-country path - here again many blue markers and cairns. Follow the path and the markers across or falling over several ditches to the entry in an impressive rock amphitheater. The path is registered in the OSM. There is also an access via the other (northern) side of Val Fogarè (cf. P. v. Duin).
Tour: A succession of almost 30 rappels (superiore & inferiore), no long runs, some possible jumps, a grotto. The middle access and exit point is at a water drainage at an altitude of 620m. Val Fogarè is located in the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti where canyoning is prohibited. The A.I.C. management has been negotiating with the national park administration for some time in this regard.

Comment: Parkplatz bei Picknickarea Candaten
Access: From Belluno on the SS 203 towards Agordo. After passing through the village of Mas (8 km from Belluno), continue north along the orographic left bank of the Torrente Cordevole. About 5.5 km after Mas you come to the houses of the hamlet of Casa Candaten, where there is also a camper van site and a picnic area to the west of the road. Park here.
Return: In the streambed under the covered canal out to Torrente Cordevole and across to the far bank to the car.

Comment: Lykian Way creuse la rivière (descente)
Approach: From the car at the top, continue on foot along the road (Lycian Way - there are markings here and there). After 500 meters, the track turns to the left (N36.674352°/E30.463119°). The fork straight ahead is a mistake! 50 m further on, turn right at the fork. Now follow the path along the slope for a good 1.1 kilometers until you reach a conspicuous trail marker on the rock on the left (N36.679216°/E30.469589°). Instead of following the track, we take the short, marked and clearly recognizable path through the forest on the right. It later crosses the piste again after 600 meters further down (E30.676512° N36.676512°) and after another 500 meters the path meets the access piste again (N36.675518°/E30.479078°). Continuing on, it finally exits after a good kilometer at the stream. Climb over boulders into the streambed (N36.678231/E30.486934). The access - sketched on a Google Earth sat. map - can be found in the photos (Cwiki).
Tour: see photos and video ! At the end of the gorge there is now (in 2014) an artificially created backwater on which dinghy rides are offered. You can therefore expect a longer swim here on the descent.

Return: An organizer has set up camp at the exit of the gorge. If you want to end the tour here, take the orographic path on the right that leads out of the canyon near the stream - about 3 km to the parked car. Alternatively, the tour can also be continued as a hiking canyon with small climbs. After about1200 meters, at a ford, the tour finally exits.

Approach: First we take the trail in a southerly direction up into the cirque at the exit of the canyon. Then we follow a path with white markings that goes up the orographic left slope to a birch tree in the forest. From here we continue up over rock slabs, following the cairns. At about 1500m there is an access possibility. We continue to 1600m altitude and enter at a side stream over the black rock slabs.
Tour: 2 parts: First part: Smaller rappel (about 10 in total) and downclimb (3 emergency exits). In the 2nd part then larger rappel (total 20).

Fisgas do Ermelo: Canyon Start

Approach: From Belvdere on the road closed with barrier in a wide curve up to 740 m above sea level, then beyond 65 meters of altitude down to the stream.
Tour: It is an attractive tour, although relatively long and serious, which generates certain difficulties due to insufficient belays. The fact that there is no anchor at the first 6 m drop seems understandable in view of the fact that the canyon is located in a national park, even if an explicit prohibition is not perceptible (2007). So about after the third high rappel, the water disappears in a long rock crevice. Here, during the first search, only an anchor with a thin rope was found, which could not have been reached without a rope belay; moreover, it would have forced the rappeler directly into the narrow crevice with a strong water flow. Only after a thorough search for an alternative was a tape loop found about 10 m further to the right, somewhat hidden, which made it possible to rappel onto a tape that could be used to bypass the narrow chute at the top.

Return: After the last 5 m drop, a knotted rope is stretched up the right side. However, since no tracks were recognizable at the upper end and the unknown path seemed too risky in steep terrain, we preferred to walk downhill in the streambed for another hour until an exit presented itself at a widening of the streambed. Tracks led steeply uphill here, but it seemed better to cross a small side stream to a neighboring meadow with fruit trees and a hut, and from there to a dirt road 30 meters above. This leads - at the beginning a gate is to be climbed around - with small height fluctuations altogether 100 elevator meters upward - out on the tarred road with the vehicle parked below.

After the bridge, turn right and follow the signs for Fisgas do Ermelo. If you have 2 vehicles, park the first one 1 km after the junction at the bridge at a track on the right (stone posts on both sides) (440 m a.s.l.).With the other vehicle, continue uphill, at the chapel at the saddle then on the far right and up to the Belvedere at the end of the road (3.1 km from the lower vehicle parking, 600 m a.s.l.). Here park 2nd vehicle and take a look at the waterfalls, but they are visible here only to a small extent.

Tour: Forest canyon for "collectors" The description on descente-canyon.com recommends taking the second car to the next hairpin bend and then descending into the ditch - initially on a marked path. This would have the advantage that we would be spared part of the ditch from the outset. The much more attractive Cuves du Buizin are in the immediate vicinity.

Access: In Geneva (after the border), we take the A 40 highway (Autoroute Blanche) in the direction of Lyon. We drive on this highway for about 75 km. We come to a highway junction and drive another 9 km in the direction of Lyon (A 42). Then we leave the highway and drive to Amberieu-en-Bugey. Here we take the D 1504 (formerly N 504) in the direction of Saint Rambert en Bugey. After 6 km, turn right towards Cleyzieu. In the hamlet of Montferrand, beyond the railroad tracks, we take the first road to the right and continue along the tracks - now on a dirt road - for about 500 m in a westerly direction. Where the tracks curve to the right, there is a large meadow to the left of the meadows. We park the lower car at the beginning of the meadow. Here an indistinct dirt track comes from the forest across the meadow. Our stream only crosses the field path about 200 m further west. Take the second car back to Montferrand and turn right uphill towards Cleyzieu. In the next hamlet (Mont de Lange), turn right onto a narrow road towards Dortan. We come to the bridge over "our" stream and park the second car here.
Return: After the final C 14 (the "best part" in the forest canyon) on the path that runs along the stream at the beginning, out to the large meadow and keeping right to the car.

Rio Vento: Canyon Start
2025-06-20: First descent 45 meters, required access to the main position, poor belay points. The other 2 descents good (the last position requires replacement of the handrail)
2024-12-15: Very short and unfortunately quite slippery during our ascent. A quicky if you want to do something quickly at the exit of the day.
2023-10-15: Very short gorge, hooks are in good condition perfect to combine with Rio Rivis. Climb track difficult to find but Gaia maps works well
Approach: At the bridge on the left bank begins a path that soon gets lost again. It is best to gain elevation in the fall line until you rejoin the trail that leads east into the canyons. You enter the canyon directly at the first waterfall. The geocache could not be found in 2022.
Tour: * 1st waterfall (45m) 2 x 8mm anchors left * 2nd waterfall (15m) 1 x 8mm anchor left, very exposed * 3rd waterfall (15m) 1 x 8mm anchor right or 1 x 10mm anchor left One of the lower belays is extended with a piece of cord. Carry a spare rope here if necessary.

Approach: Next to the road bridge directly into the stream.
Tour: With no water flow, this is something for collectors at best. Below the exit is a powerful karst spring that feeds a waterfall worth seeing. However, this attractive passage is not accessible - probably forbidden in order not to reduce the water quality and to protect the sensitive waters (mosses, sinter).

Approach: From the car about 50m further in the direction of Iseltwald, then turn right onto the road, which is closed to motor vehicles. Under the highway we go uphill. We cross "our" stream, have a view of the last waterfall and turn right about 600m further on the hiking trail to Schwand. A few meters after (!) the third (left) serpentine we take the intersecting path, which leaves at a sharp angle to the right and leads approximately horizontally to the entry.

Chorro: Canyon Start
Approach: We walk through the tunnel - head torch useful - and come to the track descending from the 'Bar Mirador' and follow this downhill to the old Embalse de Gaitanejo power station. Passing this on the left, we come downstream to the northern exit of the canyon. Entry below the small dam. There may be problems with the passage here due to the fencing of the Camenito del Rey.
Tour: The Caminito del Rey, a path 'glued' to the vertical gorge walls at a height of up to 120 m above the gorge floor in 1920, is now accessible again (2015). It used to be used as an access or return route to the dams (Sanchez op. cit.), but access through the relatively wide railroad tunnels (see internet site) has been prohibited since 2003. The ban is also monitored by the police - as we found out in Nov. 2006 at lunchtime (you could be fined 3000 euros and temporarily arrested). If you do want to walk through the tunnels from the village of El Chorro, access is through a small tunnel 'window' in the (4th) long tunnel, through which you can reach the river bed directly above the entrance to the gorge (access time here 1 hour). Warning: above the reservoir! Exit at the end of Oct. 2006 and beginning of Nov. 2009

Chorro: Canyon End
Return: After the final rappel (depending on the water level in the reservoir below between 4 and 11 meters. Jump possible from the top or from the middle) and the following narrow section, we climb out to the right to the vehicle parked first.

Chorro: Parking at Entry
Comment: parking chez le tunnel piétonnière (descente)
Access: From Malaga, take the initially 4-lane A 357 - past Cartama - in the direction of Ardales. Approx. 30 km from Malaga, we turn right onto the A 7077 and head north towards Alora (approx. 7 km from the junction). We take the new access road directly up to Alora, cross the village and continue northwards to El Chorro. Shortly before reaching the village of El Chorro, we do not take the road turning right at the barrage over the Guadalhorce, but continue for a few hundred meters to the restaurant on the left of the road. Park one car in the parking lot on the right and continue with the second car along the winding road until you reach the MA 444 coming from Ardales after about 4 km. Turn right here onto the MA 9006 and continue in a north-easterly direction for 2 km along the reservoir, drive through a short tunnel and park the second car about 100 m further on (see: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=6983141 ). Here a pedestrian tunnel leads through the mountain. Once the "Caminito del Rey" has been completed and reopened, access via this tunnel would be recommended. This would make the shuttle superfluous and enrich the tour. However, this option is likely to be lost due to the fact that the Caminito is only accessible in the direction from top to bottom (price 2016: 10 euros, available contingent fully booked for the long term).

Comment: Einstieg über dem C60
Approach: If you have only 1 vehicle, follow the well-marked access to the 'Cascades' from Angon on the orographic right side of the stream to the bridge over the stream (45 min.).Otherwise, from the exit of the Chemin de la Closette, descend a few meters on footprints to a wide footpath, follow it to the right and turn left at the first fork onto it to reach - in case of doubt always keeping on top - the stone bridge over the stream after about 10 min. It is also possible to enter the 60 m cascade from the 'Belvedere' and thus rappel only the lower 45 m of the cascade.
Tour: The entry is through 2 ledges (beware of rocks in the pools), and two small rappels. Then you get to a C12 that drops into a cold pool, always in the shade, which empties directly into the C60. One should prefer to have a large group waiting at the top of C12. There is a way to cross water to the right bank from a natural landing to avoid chaining C12 and C60. However, this route should be avoided as it causes tremendous friction and there is a risk of falling rocks! The C60 splits at -25 m at the level of the Belvedere, which can be reached on foot via the tourist balcony path. The rest is very playful with alternating rappels, jumps, slides, including the famous "letterbox", a kind of slide that runs under a block that can become a siphon (not mandatory)! Note that there is an escape route in RG at this point, which is very often used as an entrance to the canyon by professionals who only supervise their group at the exit. The steps between each obstacle are no more than 5 minutes. Caution: depending on the year, the pools can be completely filled. Commitment The escape on the left bank is possible practically along the entire canyon. Only the C60 must necessarily be followed by the C25 before you can escape again! Historical overview First known total integration: J. Espejo, speleologist, 1989. Notes Can be done when the flow is good, but then you must be able to handle whitewater and watered falls (be careful at the lower exit of the C60). For unprepared people, the dangers can be very numerous! (Siphon, swirling basin, washing machine). A shuttle bus is possible, but does not save time. It is therefore recommended to make the approach on foot, with the suit in your pocket, as described above.

Valle Secche: Canyon Start

Valle Secche: Canyon End

Endriegelbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Through the wide gravel bed to a bedload barrier and further up until the canyon narrows near the mouth of a stream. Here begins a narrow, in places slipped hunters path that leads into the valley. The first three higher abysses are bypassed in the ascent seen on the right, at a boulder decorated with coats of arms in the streambed the path then finally changes to the other side of the stream (large cairn). The path is quite difficult to recognize here for a short time: climb keeping to the right, cross the slippery inclined rock slabs and then climb quite steeply on a clear path. This path leads in about 60-75min to an abandoned hunting lodge, in the forest it is easy to find, on meadow sections/avalanche stretches you have to search a bit. After the hunting lodge, traverse about 200m slightly downhill in the direction of Endriegelgraben, until you are in front of the break-off edge in the uppermost part of the ditch. From here, always descend along the edge, after about 50m the ridge narrows to an unpleasantly brittle and exposed ridge (possibly secure). After the ridge descend over a steep, rugged ridge until you reach the stream immediately above a 25m waterfall. Possibly it would be easier to rappel directly at the point where you can look into the ditch for the first time over a 30m high, crumbly slope and descend in the bottom of the ditch - here, however, possibly not equipped, short rappel points await the climber.
Tour: First rappel 25m (anchor on the right), then rappel another 20m from the left across a pool and downclimb through the crevice. After a short walking distance you stand in front of a 18m waterfall, abseil loop on the left. The next 10m waterfall is rappelled dry from the tree on the right, at the 4m waterfall that soon follows, a fragile hourglass helps with the rappel. After a short walking passages, one stands above a series of sunny precipices. Abseil sequence: 14m right, 13m right after the first pool, 10m right under edge. About 700m of walking follows, mostly on bedrock with mini-slides. When a mostly dry streambed flows in from the right and the canyon narrows significantly break-off possibility (hunters path about 60hm above). After a few bends, 4 drops follow one after the other. The first two steps are slideable or jumpable in gravel-free pools, rappel hooks on the right above the first step. The third step can be jumped carefully, but you have to hang your rope in the anchor on the left before, because immediately after the pool follows another 5m drop-off. Again hike briefly (bypassing a 3m waterfall on the left) before reaching a short gorge. Downclimb 13m from the left, rappel briefly, rappel 4m from jammed tree before a mini-chute leads out into the open. After 100m you reach the cairn where the access path has left the bottom of the gully. From here you can either finish the tour and descend via the path or stay in the streambed. The first drop can be rappelled, at the next two-step waterfall can be rappelled from the right over a tree. At the last 11m waterfall before reaching the gravel bed there is an anchor on the right. \Those who have not yet had enough can still walk the very short Mitterbachgraben, which flows into the Endriegelbach below the short Fölzklamm gorge covered with wooden planks at a small power station. Access via the old path that leads up the orographic left bank. No anchors, rappel passages up to 20m. 35min.

Approach: From the chapel we continue to follow the descending slope and 300 m further we cross the stream (ford). Beyond, the track goes up through olive groves. After a right and a left serpentine, the track describes a right and then a left bend. Here (800 m from the chapel) take the left slope, which leads first westward, then slowly uphill in a southerly direction. After the three prominent bends (right, right and left), at the next junction (1800 m from Kapelle) do not go straight on, but left and then immediately right again at the following junction. This track now moves in a northwesterly direction and we come across a T-junction a little later. Here right and always - hardly noticeably - uphill towards the north, then later towards the east. We then cross the streambed of the Xeropharago/Kalami II, which is only recognizable as such because there is a corresponding signpost (anno 2008) on the right (3600 m from the chapel). We continue to follow the track. It makes a left turn and we see the stream (possibly with waterfall). After 700 m there is a worse track on the right. Here you can park the second car if necessary (4x4 or much ground clearance needed). About 200 m on this slope, then look for the best access to the creek. You can also cross to the right about 150 m before reaching the latter junction on the slope in front of the prominent rock and after the edge then also pathless, but more directly down to the creek. If you want it steeper and more direct, go back from the chapel about 150m on the access track and then take the junction at a sharp angle to the left. It takes us northwards to the stream just above the exit of the Xeropharago. Here we descend steeply and pathlessly for a few meters into the streambed, downstream for about 25m and then out to the right. From there we follow the cairns uphill in a northerly direction. After reaching a small plateau, continue approximately horizontally until you reach the track, which then immediately leads again over the inconspicuous beginning of the Xeropharago. Continue as described above.
Tour: 6 to 7 rappels. Between the rappel - all feasible outside the beam - longer runs.

Return: Before the last waterfall, either exit through the narrow gap on the left and descend on the slope edge (on the right below flat area with transformer station) to the slope. Or another rappel down under the large capstone and then left out onto the slope. Follow it for about 600 m southwards to the approach slope. Here turn right down to the chapel. Alternatively, at the first left-hand bend, descend without a trail to the right to the house and from there to the chapel.

Access: From Ierapetra westward along the sea (rarely seen) to Myrtos (14 km). Passing the village, the road (No. 97) turns inland towards Ano Viannos and goes uphill. After 11 km (from Myrtos) we turn left (southward) and go down to Kalami (1 km further there is a second possibility to go down). We pass the village and continue towards the sea (Sidonia/Psari Forada) parallel to the stream flowing below on the right. At the edge of the slope (Canyon Kalami I on the right below), the road first curves to the left, drops more steeply and then moves to the right along the slope. In a prominent left turn, we take the dirt road that turns right. It descends steadily and we reach (keeping left) a place in front of the chapel of Moni Keralimaniostisos. Here we park the car.

Gladerla: Canyon Start
Approach: at the orographic right edge of the gorge, a path goes up under the stone net. Entry when the path comes to the stream.
Tour: 5 abseils, max.18m\nAfter the 2m entry jump follows an approx.10m abseil slide. After short downclimbs follows a 14m rappel from a somewhat exposed stand in a beautiful green basin.\nThere follows another dry 8m rappel before you stand at the 18m final waterfall. The exposed belaystation is not easy to reach!

Gladerla: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from the south, cross the Tagliamento and at Flagogna take the SP1 into the Arzino Valley towards Anduins.\nPark directly at the bridge at the exit.

Approach: approx. 15min/ 1h From the parking at about 690m with a beautiful view of the mountain landscape of Medurec, follow the sloping mountain road for about 100m. Here you look for a trail marking on the left which you then follow steeply downhill through the sparse forest. A little further down you meet a second path (access path) which you follow to the right. After a few meters you will come to a thin tree with red color markings. Here you descend directly to the stream / entry at about 560m.
Tour: The canyon is certainly one of the most beautiful tours in Montenegro and offers everything you could hope for from a casual canyoning tour. The highest steps are right at the beginning. This is followed by a longer walking passages. The canyon narrows again and more beautiful pools and steps up to a maximum of 20 m follow. A little tip: three square boxes at the concreted stream crossing at the exit (access possible) serve as an indicator of the normal water level.

Kibris sup. (I): Canyon Start
Approach: On the left bank, a clear path leads down to the stream, where it disappears between the rocks (entry).
Tour: We take turns walking in and next to the water, climbing down a few steps and "completing" 9 rappels. The highlight is a natural window through which we rappel.

Kibris sup. (I): Canyon End
Return: If you do not know the exit, it will be difficult to find it with a description. Therefore, it seems expedient to go downstream after the 9th rappel until you see a bridge about 10m above you. From the bridge go back about 30m and upstream, then you will find the exit on the right (orographic. left - east). It is hard to see if there are no fixed ropes hanging down (from commercial operators).

Kibris sup. (I): Parking at Exit
Access: From Sütlegen first to the parking exit. Follow the signs for Ermali on the main road in a north-easterly direction. 2400 m after leaving the central square in Sütlegen, turn right downhill from the main road. 500 m further on, turn left at an acute angle and again 480 m slightly downhill at the junction on the right. Now almost another 300m, then we park the car for the exit on the right on the open space in front of the last houses. Take the second car back to the main road and turn right. After 2.9 km we reach the point where the Kibris crosses under the dam in a pipe culvert on which the road walks. North of the road we see an old mill. We park our second car here.

Bernitzbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Ascent via the forest road in the direction of Keuschenwaldalm. At the 5th hairpin bend turn left into the canyon (climbing tracks).
Tour: 5 rappelling points, the first two being the highest (40m and 50m respectively).\nBefore starting the tour you should check the water level at the last waterfall. The abseil goes there directly through the chute. Slippery rock.

Feienbach Fallbach: Canyon End
Return: Either after the exit of the Feientobel on the path that crosses the stream here left up and back to the car (60 min.) or continue in the Fallbach and down into the valley near Dornbirn. There to the car parked here for the exit.

Feienbach Fallbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Through the iron turnstile you come to the field path, which runs in a northerly direction, first level, past a well trough on the right and left, then slightly sloping down into the forest. On a bridge you cross the Feienbach. About 100 m further on, the path branches. Take the left branch and walk down on it until you cross the Feienbach again. On the orographic left bank, follow the path downstream for about 200 m to the entry at or slightly below the walled step.\n\nAlternative access from the valley: http://www.tfj.ch/karren-dornbirn/dornbirn-fallbach.html
Tour: Only at the beginning attractive forest canyon with fairly smooth terrain. In this form something for collectors. Usually rather poor water flow.\n\nIf you do not exit at the end of the Feientobel left on the path, but continue downstream, you come after a few hundred meters to a supposedly 100 m high rappel (can probably be broken after about 60m), which is perhaps the 'highlight' for correspondingly interested. Then, however, the ascent on the mentioned path from below is recommended (cf. link above at access alternative) or an elaborate transfer of the vehicles.\n\n

Access: From Dornbirn on the B 190 south (about 7 km) to Hohenems - or via the exit 'Hohenems' of the highway Bregenz - Feldkirch. From the B 190 in about the center of Hohenems turn off southeastward and follow the signpost 'Schuttannen' steeply uphill, first on paved, then on unpaved road. At a little over 1000 m above sea level, you reach a plateau with some alpine pastures and park in front of the barrier with the pasture grate.

Access: In Geneva (after the border), we join the A 40 highway (Autoroute Blanche) in the direction of Lyon. We drive on this highway for about 75 km. We come to a highway junction and drive another 9 km in the direction of Lyon (A 42). Then we leave the highway and drive to Amberieu-en-Bugey. On reaching the outskirts of the town, we turn right onto the D 1075 (formerly the N 75). After driving about 2 km in a south-westerly direction, this road turns left at an elaborately constructed junction in an easterly direction (straight ahead is the D 1084). We continue for less than 8 km and then turn east at a traffic circle towards Vaux-en-Bugey. In this town, we take the D 60 A in the direction of Cleyzieu. From the center of the village, we drive straight on for about 4 km in a SSE direction. The road then turns east. After this change of direction, there is a dirt road coming up from "our" stream, opposite which is a parking bay where we park the lower vehicle. We continue with the other vehicle; the road now climbs slightly and quickly gains height in a few hairpin bends. At the top, we turn right at a T-junction instead of left towards Cleyzieu. After a few hundred meters we reach the road bridge over the stream. Park the top vehicle here.
Return: The exit from the gorge ends at a small brick water intake. From here, take the forest path that initially runs to the left of the stream, later crosses it and reaches the tarred road for the first time at the lower vehicle.

Linas: Canyon Start
Approach: largely like Muru Mannu: we continue to follow the dirt road - at the same time hiking trail no. 109 - for about 1.8 km (25 min.). We come to a fork in the road and now take path no. 113 (sentiero Piscina Irgas), which first walks over an iron footbridge, then climbs steeply. We reach the plateau and have an impressive view of the granite basin of the Rio Oridda with the almost 40m high waterfall. The path continues to climb and walks along the eastern side of a flat rocky cone into a wooded hollow. Here (665m alt.) we leave the indistinct trail, cross the forest in the hollow slightly ascending to the ridge beyond the hollow (680m alt.). To the north rises a rocky cone. We pass immediately first slightly downhill under this cone on the left and meet here a slope that also goes up from below (GPS: 39°24'43.39 "N / 8°37'35.78 "E ) - 665m old. On the track now always in northwestern direction along the ridge or just below it, until it meets another track on the saddle Genna de Muru Mannu (GPS: 39°25'25.92 "N / 8°36'32.21 "E) - 761m old. Follow this road in northeastern direction downhill to the first leftward haipin bend. Here it would go down into the streambed of the Muru Mannu. But we stay on the path, which goes up in several switchbacks to a saddle, from which we walk without a trail on sight in northeastern direction down to the stream (entry).\n\nAlternatively we can stay on the path above the basin of the Oridda waterfall and go down in southern direction into the high valley of the Riu Oridda. Here we meet a dirt road beyond the stream. We follow it to the northwest, change at a junction to the right to the orographic left side of the stream and on this track we also reach the saddle Genna de Muru Mannu. Then continue as described above. This way is perhaps easier to find and perhaps more comfortable, but the views of the other access are lost (see sketch in "photo gallery" at Muru Mannu) ( 02h 15' ) \n\nA fundamentally different access via the northeast side via trail "109" (red-white markings) - uU less time - is shown here: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2627950 . \nAccess to the creek is also easier here (also to find)\n\nFor access also: ( green : canyon descent; red: new way back; pink: approach on hiking trail "112" from Cantina Ferraris\n
Tour: We walk for about half an hour and then come to the first rappel (25m); the following one (20m) can be bypassed on the left with downclimb. Then again a longer run that brings us to the last and most attactive rappel (47m). Then we walk downstream to the confluence with the Rio Cannisoni (Muru Mannu).

Linas: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: like Oridda u. Muru Mannu: In Villacidro we follow the signs "Monti Mannu". Thus we arrive at the reservoir Lago di Leni/Lago di Montmannu and ride along its northern shore. A bridge brings us to the other bank of a riverbed. We continue along the shore of the reservoir until we reach its southern root, where we cross another streambed. After the bridge, we turn right onto a dirt road and continue following the signs for "Monti Mannu". We follow the forest road for 5.5 km, passing a group of hares on the left, and later a tree nursery on the righthand side. On the left we see the skeleton of a metal footbridge over the Rio Cannisoni. Here we park the car (see Google-map in "photo gallery" at Muru Mannu) .\n\nHere is an alternative access from Gonnosfanadiga:
Return: Here a little further downstream, then we come to the hiking trail "109" (red-white markings) and follow it down the valley to the car. ( 01h 00' )

Approach: Here we look for a path that leads us down to the streambed of the Esino.
Tour: After about 15-20 min. of hiking in or next to the streambed we come to the 1st rappel (15m). Then again about 90 min. hiking in the streambed with smaller steps before we enter the attractive narrow part of the canyon. Here once a strong contact with the stream can not be avoided. At the underpass of the highway the upper part of the Esino comes to an exit. Here you can get off or continue along the lower part.

Approach: From the car at Premia, descend along the aforementioned footpath to the bridge over the Toce. There, on the orographic right bank, follow a path upstream until you reach the place where the Toce river rushes down from its wide gravel and scree bed into the constriction of grown rock. Access here, possibly with a jump.
Tour: The canyon is open and friendly at the beginning, but sometimes seems almost threatening in its narrow sections due to the strong water flow. The first narrow section after the bridge can be bypassed on the right at the top, the entry into the second narrow section should definitely be bypassed on the right at the top and roped into the canyon after the drop from the tree (17 m). If the following slide after the clamping block in the water (siphon) is not passable due to obstacles (tree, stone), then anchor on the ledge on the left (very smooth access!). At the 17m waterfall, which is rappelled on the left, cross as far as possible to the right on the base of the pool below due to the risk of backflow before swimming off. A longer rappel rope (or rope extension) is useful for rappels in pools. Above the canyon there are several dams with automatic lock opening. For this reason, everyone (especially the A.I.C.) strongly advises against an ascent.

Räbloch: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car, descend the dirt road for about 150m along the Emme River, then turn right onto the gravel bed before the gorge begins.
Tour: After the beginning of the gorge, mainly swimming sections at the beginning. The natural bridge - the Räbloch - may be blocked by driftwood. First (emergency) exit possibility then left out over the Chnubelhüttengraben. From here mainly hiking route to the bridge at Bächleren. Aquatic The catchment area is huge and upcoming thunderstorms in the canyon are often not noticeable. During thunderstorms the Emme can swell up to over 100 m3/sec in a matter of minutes and make it impossible to escape. impossible! The current water level of the Emme at Eggiwil can be found on the FOEN website at www. hydrodaten.admin.ch/d/2409.htm. Ideal water quantity approx. 3.0 m³/sec. From 5.0 m³ per second the Emme becomes quite turbulent in some places. Watch out for bouncing water and undercutting along the rock walls. When at the natural bridge the Emme is covered with driftwood, this bottleneck becomes a key point!

We come to a meadow and a house here we move downhill to the right at the edge of the meadow and continue our path at the north end of the meadow at the same level into the forest. We climb down to the canyon rim and then rope the last (about 15m) from a tree into the canyon.
Tour: 6-8 rappel, repeatedly rappelling over several steps. There are no emergency exits. It is possible to get out of the water in one or two places. One place could be used for emergency exit on the right side. But here you would have to drill two anchors for a rope traverse.

Hacioglan: Canyon Start
Approach: We now follow the track along the orographic right bank of the stream downhill in an easterly direction. Where the track turns away from the stream and begins to climb, we take the forest path to the left and always follow the stream. Several crossings of the stream follow, the path becomes a goat track and finally gets lost. Then we come to the first narrow section between solid rock and a longer swim. Here begins the actual canyoning route.
Tour: Also a lot of walking after the first swim, but in the last third attractive ambience with some possible jumps.

After about 7 km, shortly before reaching the village of Agilli, we take a sharp left turn off the 400 towards Orttakuyu and the ancient town of Phellos (brown sign). After about 1 km, a small tarred road turns off to the right in a northerly direction (towards Pinarbasi). We pass through Pinarbasi and reach the heights about 7 km after turning off the 400. Now it's another 3 km downhill and we drive through Dereköy. 50 m after the mosque on the right-hand side we come to the bridge over the Hacioglan. We park the lower vehicle here. We continue with the second vehicle on the orographic left bank of the Hacioglan and reach Ugrar 6 km after Dereköy.

We drive through a small settlement (Cataoluk) on the western edge, turn left before Sinneli and the new road takes us up the northern slope high above the river Hacioglan. After a good 8 kilometers, we turn left off the new road, reach the scattered settlement of the same name (around 25 km from Dereköy) and drive down to the river. We park the second car at the bridge.
Return: After crossing the final rock bar, follow the stream to the road bridge. About 200m before the bridge you can already go out to the right on a dirt road.

Hacioglan: Parking at Exit
Access: From Kas we take the state road 400 in the direction of Antalya. After about 7 km, shortly before reaching the village of Agilli, we take a sharp left turn off the 400 towards Orttakuyu and the ancient town of Phellos (brown sign). After about 1 km, a small tarred road turns off to the right in a northerly direction (towards Pinarbasi). We pass through Pinarbasi and reach the heights about 7 km after turning off the 400. Now it's another 3 km downhill and we drive through Dereköy. 50 m after the mosque on the right-hand side we come to the bridge over the Hacioglan. We park the lower vehicle here. We continue with the second vehicle on the orographic left bank of the Hacioglan and reach Ugrar 6 km after Dereköy. We keep left here and turn left a little further north in the direction of Sinneli. We drive through a small settlement (Cataoluk) on the western edge, turn left before Sinneli and the new road takes us up the northern slope high above the river Hacioglan.

Approach: Lower part: Cross the Sava and follow it upstream until you reach the waterfall at the gorge exit. 50m to the west and east of the exit of the gorge, there are steep paths leading to a small bridge above the last gorge. Continue to follow the clear climbing tracks uphill until you can descend to the stream below a rockfall. Upper part: Cross the Sava and follow the path upstream to the exit of the sand road. From here, follow the climbing tracks southwards (dry stream valley) until you reach a forest road. Follow this until you can descend through the forest to the stream after a wood storage area. If you have two cars available, you can get to the upper entry from the upper parking lot as follows. Turn left at the first forest road junction, then right onto an overgrown forest road, which you follow until you reach the stream in the area of the karst spring.
Tour: You reach the stream in the area of a strong karst spring. A short, low gorge is followed by a long, slippery walking passages before the stream flows into a low gorge. Jumps of up to 12m and rappels of up to 15m alternate. Very beautifully washed out rock with rock gates and arches. Watch out for siphons and deep potholes hidden in the white water. Unfortunately, this part has been heavily overgrown by various storms in recent years. After a large rockfall from the right side of the valley, the stream can be exited to the left (access path for the lower part) The abseiling points in the lower part are somewhat more exposed and are mostly reached via cross passages. The gorge exits with a beautiful 9m jump into a large pool. Commercially accessible In dry summers, the Grmecica can dry out completely.

Approach: We continue walking on the road in the direction of Vergemoli. After about 50 m we turn right onto a path marked with red markers. At a fork we keep right down to the streambed. At the wooden footbridge is the entry.
Tour: The grotto can be crossed if the water flow is too great. After crossing under the road bridge, we reach the Turrite de Gallicano (watch out; reservoir above!), then walk a good 300 m further and climb out to the left a few meters before the old arched stone bridge.

Tour: First river walk, then 5 rappel. At the C35 watch out for sharp edges (here also a somewhat hidden relay). After reaching the Viula in this out to the bridge Ponte Novu. Get off here.

San Ghjuvanni: Canyon End
Return: The slope right to the road & to the car.

Mesonas: Canyon Start
Approach: From the slope down the stone 'stairs', past the abandoned houses on the right to the streambed.
Tour: From the access to the constriction about 20 min. in the stony streambed; alternative to be found at Bromirakis. 22 rappels follow.

Mesonas: Canyon End
Return: Upon reaching the slope out to the car or continue downhill in havgas.

Mesonas: Parking at Exit
Access: From Agios Nikolaos on the so-called New Road (No. 90/E 75) towards Sitia, still passing Pachia Ammos (up to here 19 km). The road to Ierapetra (southwards) turns off to the right. We continue straight (east) towards Sitia and after 5 km we reach Kavousi. We drive through the village and turn right at the last houses and before the bridge (sign 'Archeological Site'). We drive up the concrete road, ignoring the turnoff to the 'Archeological Site' (2.2 km from the turnoff from the E75) and pass one of the oldest olive trees in Crete. Then we go downhill a bit and cross a streambed (4.3 km): on the right (south) ends the Mesonas, on the left begins the Havgas. Here we leave one car. With the other one we continue uphill. Before reaching the village of Melisses, we take the dirt road to the right after a gate (6.4 km). We cross a streambed and follow the dirt road uphill until we reach a saddle after a few switchbacks (10.3 km; 740 m a.s.l.). From here, the trail goes more or less horizontally to the south (on the right, below, a house, behind it the entrance to the gorge). At the head of the valley we cross 'our' stream and park the car about 100 m after it, where a stone staircase (above a water pipe) leads down to the right. For the access described by Bromirakis you have to go further (up to km 12,5).\nFor the ascent we recommend a four-wheel drive vehicle, but in any case one with more ground clearance than the usual passenger cars. On the orographic left side of the stream, however, there is also a path leading up to the entry (where it crosses the stream).\nIf you want to continue the Havgas, park the first vehicle in Kavousi (more detailed at the Havgas description).
Return: Upon reaching the slope out to the car or continue downhill in havgas.

Comment: Einstieg für den unteren Abschnitt.
Approach: The footpath to Breil-sur-Roya goes slightly uphill in a northerly direction. Without realizing it, we cross the border with France. At marker "411" we turn right onto a path that climbs slightly up the orographic left slope of Audin. We come to marker "445", where the entry to the lower Audin (only jumps & slides without real rappel) goes down on the left.
Tour: A succession of pools, sintered slides and possible jumps. Except for one place, everything is doable without ropes. July 2024 Everything can be done without a rope, but be careful. Two obvious slides are equipped with anchors. The first is slippable, the second has a block at the bottom. Carefully downclimb these and only slide the lower part.

Return: The easiest way is to turn left before the canal and cross the canal to the footpath. Or after the canal, go under the bridge and left up to the footpath. Follow this back to Fanghetto.

Pazueel: Canyon Start
Approach: The access begins at the mountain church in the southeast of the village. Here we take the path that goes north up the mountain in the direction of Trittalm. Before reaching this alpine pasture, we orient ourselves in the direction of the Trittalpbahn valley station. Passing it on the way we reach a bridge over the Pazüel. Here or a little bit downstream we enter the path. See also Google trail sketch at photo gallery.
Tour: See photos and topographic view.

Approach: Continue on the road that becomes a dirt road. In the first left serpentine, a path goes off to the right that goes up and behind the Vallon d'Ullion. One passes the crest of Serre Blanc (920 m a.s.l.). About 200 m further, a path branches off to the right that takes us down to the stream in about 10 min.
Tour: The scenic approach alone makes the tour worthwhile. The Vallon d'Ullion is not just a natural forest canyon. The tufa formations overflowing with water are interesting. The pools regularly lack the necessary water depth for slides and jumps.

We now drive almost 4 km into the valley of the Bouinenc River and come to a sharp right-hand bend, from which the road starts to climb more steeply. At the bend to the right, park the car on the left.
Return: After descending the Vabre, you reach the mouth of the Bouinenc River and go down along its orographic left bank on a path until you reach the parking lot at the bend in the road.

Approach: Follow the marked path into the Val d'Anguire. Alternatively, you can ascent from the lower parking lot via the Voie Romaine to the upper parking lot in about 1.5 hours. See photo 2.
Tour: At the beginning river walk, then relatively open canyon with a series of easy rappels. With sufficient water flow there are some possible jumps. However, the pools are often shallower than expected. Then "La Poire" an underground hall, the most attractive passage. After a few more rappels, the canyon opens up and productive karst springs turn the Valonge into a stream.

Access: From Geneva, take the A40 highway for about 65 km in the direction of Lyon. After 3 short tunnels, you pass the small town of Nantua (on the right below a high viaduct) and then drive through a tunnel about 3 km long. The highway branches off and we take the A404 northwards (towards Oyonnax) into the French Jura. 5 km after the junction, we also leave the A404 and change to the D979 heading west towards Bourg-en-Bresse. From here, we continue for another 14 km to the village of Derrières-sur-Ain on the River Ain. Turn right off the D979, drive through the village and join the D91, which follows the River Ain. Turn left under the high road bridge and you have reached the place where you park the lower car. In the second car, we drive a good 1 km downstream on the D91 (towards Poncin) and turn left uphill towards Chales-la-Montagne shortly before reaching the hamlet of Merpuis. Continue uphill in bends for about 2.4 km, then reach a clearing just before the road leaves the forest. Park the top car here.
Return: After the last rappel, follow the path that runs downstream and sometimes indistinct, you can refresh yourself at a cold karst spring, if necessary, and come directly to the car on the D 91. Here you can cleanly bathe your neo in the river Ain.

Scinauz: Canyon Start
2025-04-04: Great short spring tour near us if you don't have much time. Everything was fine. Unfortunately this time the basin under the 25 was too full of gravel.
2024-12-15: Beautiful open canyon, ideal in the transition period or after rainfall. We renewed the rope on the 3rd rappel. All stands ok
2024-06-09: First time in this canyon and I have to say I quite liked it as a short tour. Many small pools would have been possible with jumps, sometimes the light gravel with the water depth is a bit deceptive....
Approach: Pass under the highway onto the embankment of the cycle path. On the orographic left side of the canyon, a path begins directly from the cycle path over the bars of the slope protection. Keep right at the fork after about 40 meters. If you can't find it, try to gain height "cross-country" on the clearing of the old cable car route. At the latest on the ridge of the conquered hill you will find old canyons from which a recognizable path running northwest leads back down into the canyon. Historical background: this area was a NATO restricted military area until 2003. The cable car mountain station is clearly visible from the access path.
Tour: The tour begins with a 40m rappel, followed by another 7 rappels < 25m. There are hardly any jumps or slides and you won't find any swimming sections here. Due to its southern orientation and openness, this canyon can be climbed early in the year.

Arinella: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the path that connects to the slope. It mutates into a path. At a junction where the path comes up from A1, we keep to the right. Now the quality gradually decreases, is partly blocked by fallen trees or simply overgrown. Anno 2003 there was no more passage for us and so we climbed at E2 into the path. Here you can now in Bachbettaufwärts to E1, if no insurmountable obstacle is in the way.\nIn the years 2015 u. 2016 have a lone fighter or a small group on the "path" fought through until they met in the upper valley again on a better path condition. Here the report of the walk anno
Tour: We walk, slide and swim downstream. From time to time also a rappel. The first exit awaits us at the footbridge. After that, there are still attractive passages, especially the one immediately before the second exit.

Approach: From the parking lot, we first follow the Hinterautalstraße for a few meters, which leads into the upper Isar valley. However, we immediately turn right onto the road that leads south into the Eisack district. At the foot of the slope, the road bends to the right and we take the path that curves up the slope to the left. We cross a stream and then take the "Teufelssteig", which leads away from the slope in a southerly direction. At an altitude of 1180m, we cross "Die erste Klamm" (designation from the digital AV map 2010) and reach the Teufelslochklamm (AV: "Die ander Klamm") at an altitude of 1250m. This is the (upper) entry point (1h 15 min.). You can also enter at 1180m - lower entry. To do this, follow the forest road straight ahead after the first stream crossing. We come to a point where a hiking trail branches off to the right ("Tafeleweg", in AV 2010: "Hochwaldweg"). It intersects the forest road once again and crosses "Die erste Klamm" at an altitude of 1090m (AV map 2010). In the further ascent, we approach the edge of the Teufelslochklamm gorge and then descend steeply into the bottom of the stream (lower entry, 1180m altitude -50 min.).
Tour: Downclimbing, walking, interrupted by smaller rappels. We get off before reaching the bridge. At the beginning, long walking passages, partly in boulders, partly in small, beautifully polished chutes. Shortly before crossing the hiking trail, 1st abseil from a 20m tree. Then again running route, downclimb again and again, slightly tricky. 2. from driftwood 6 m 3. from a bad anchor 10m 4th from block 3 m 5. from good pitons 15 m

Taufersbach: Canyon Start
Approach: By bike on the closed road towards Giebelhaus to the E-Werk\n (near the bridge). Then take the hiking trail towards Schrecksee. At approx. 1120m above sea level, turn left over steep grassy slopes down to the stream. It is easier to find and more beautiful to walk on to a small reservoir, cross the stream there and enter at a small dam.
Tour: If you get on at the dam wall, it is relatively difficult to downclimb and/or jump. (No anchors on the small steps)

Approach: 25 m before the hairpin bend, a forest road branches off from the road to the right, leading first in an easterly direction. Then it goes on sight southward down to the stream (entry). Better in the hairpin bend directly take the trail down.
Tour: 4 parts, separated by walking passages, 11 rappels, a beautiful natural arch. After the natural arch follow 4 more rappel, then ends the 3rd part with the 17 m rappel. Get off here if you want to get back to the car at the top. On the right, slightly elevated cairn on rock on the ground.

Return: Once we have our second car at the restaurant, we continue downstream (4th part) and at a cable that crosses the barranco, we climb out to the left on a clear path that brings us to the railroad and road bridge and thus to the restaurant and car. Once we have our only car at the top, we climb the R 17 (last rappel at the exit of the 3rd part) to the right, climbing the small dry gully. The steel cables that used to be found here have been replaced by iron pins with cross pin, which in their continuous Abfolgr make climbing much easier. At the top we follow the footprints that lead further up to a dirt road. On this left and up to the road. There then right and to the car.

Approach: We take the road to the left past the thermal bath in southern direction and after about 600 m we pass the ruins of the old Roman thermal bath. Up to here one could still drive by car. After another 800 m (approx.) we come to the bridge over "our" stream "Corgo da Fecha do Carballon". The track makes a turn to the right, but then we immediately turn back to the path in southern direction. \nAbout 150 m after the bridge, a path branches off to the left in the direction of Cabanina do Curro. It leads us at a certain distance from the canyon on its orographic left side steeply uphill. When we reach the height (about 740 m above sea level) we see the beginning of the gorges of the Rio Fecha on the left side below.\nTo this we now descend pathless.

Access: From Orense, we first head south on the A-52 for about 16 km, then we turn right onto the AG-31, which in turn becomes the OU-540 18.2 km later. Via Bande we arrive at the reservoir Encoro das Conchas, later along the Rio Lima. 21.5 km after the center of Bande, we turn left at the road junction onto the OR-312 a. We pass through Lobios and Torneiros and 6.4 km after the turnoff from the OU-540 we come to a bridge over the Rio Caldo. Immediately before the bridge we turn left and drive to the thermal complex with hotel. Here we park our car.\nYou can now work with a shuttle, as this is also described and shown at and http://www.tic.udc.es/~nino/fecha/canon_fecha.htm. But the only advantage of this is that the access by foot is only slightly uphill and therefore relatively comfortable. We also chose this access at the time. More manageable and interesting, however, is the access from the parking lot of the thermal spa.\n

It leads us at a certain distance from the canyon on its orographic left side steeply uphill. When we reach the height (about 740 m above sea level) we see the beginning of the gorges of the Rio Fecha on the left side below.\nTo this we now descend pathless.

Approach: Continue on the road for about 50 m, then a path on the left goes up the slope. On this we reach in a large arc - partly quite exposed path - the hill above the 108 m 'waterfall' and the streambed.
Tour: First a high step with a 103m drop that has a changeover after 53m. Then running track to the road. Attractive is the lower part because of the shades of volcanic rock and ending the tour on the sandy beach.

Access: From Ribeira Grande westward in the direction of Ponta do Sol. After about 4 km on the coastal road, you reach the first houses of Ponta do Sol on a small hill. Do not go down into the village, but turn left in the direction of a small white church with three naves and a flight of steps. This is also the way to the picturesque village of Fontainhas. Pass the little church on the left and go above the village in a westerly direction. Below the road we see a pig farm. On the exposed road we drive about 1.5 km and then reach the streambed of Praia Lisboa (this is actually the name of the beach below) in a valley cut. Above, some palm trees grow and the view falls on the high rock wall at the end of the valley. We have reached the starting point.
Return: After the last rappel onto the beach, we take the path that leads back to Ponta do Sol just above the sea. Here we have no difficulty in organizing again a (collective) cab for the return trip.

Approach: Directly at the parking lot walk the Fortsstraße along the Steinbach. After more than a kilometer, a bridge leads over the Vorderer Steinbach. We pass the path to the left (south) to Rosskar and Sonntagshorn and continue on the previous path steeply up the mountain. We also leave the right departing path to the entry into the Vorderen Steinbach unattended and subsequently cross 2 orographic. left side streams of the Hinteren Steinbach. Where on the Austrian topographic view the path makes a sharp bend to the right and away from the streambed, we descend in a southwesterly direction into the streambed.
Tour: Not particularly attractive forest canyon with some rappel (something for "collectors").

Approach: We start east of the bridge over the Neidernach, which flows into the Loisach a few meters below. We take the forest road on the orographic left bank of the Neidernach and hike upstream, past a field chapel. We cross the Nudelgraben and the Sunkenlaine. 1000m after the start of the path and 140m after crossing the Sunkenlaine, we turn right (signpost "Schellschlicht"). We follow the path, which later becomes a path, uphill. At 950m above sea level, the path branches off. Turn left (signpost "Schellalm"-"251") and in a few meters you reach the footbridge over the Schellaine. Here would be the lower access (see Schellaine inferiore). If you want to do the integral ascent or the upper part alone, take the right branch ("252") upwards at the fork in the path. We then cross the slope above the Schellaine in a northerly direction, first in serpentines upwards, and then again in serpentines up to about 1320m above sea level. Here we can cross to the left into a side cirque of the Schellaine, where the descent begins. However, it is worth ascending a little further here and then crossing into the next cirque at about the same altitude to start the descent in the stream.
Tour: First some rappels, then also running sections, before the rappels increase again. At the narrow sections there is always blocked dead wood. At 1010m above sea level, there is an exit on the right before the 2nd part. For the following lower parts see under Schellaine inferiore.

Baccu Farrucciu: Canyon Start
Approach: So we take the track that leads slightly uphill in southeastern direction. After a good 550m this track crosses the rocky stream channel of the Baccu Ois. Here we enter the path. ( 00h 15' ) . Continuing for another 1350m we are on the slope above the Baccu Farrucciu. Here we can climb.
Tour: First it goes down into a chute (C7 - C22). Then the open 55m rappel. At its foot, the descent is also already finished.

Baccu Farrucciu: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: How to get to Baccu Ois: From Nuoro, do not go directly on the old SP 389 (southwestward), but follow the corresponding signs ('Lanusei') first on the southern bypass of Nuoro, on this 5 km westward, to then change to the new road to Lanusei. After 53 km (from leaving the bypass) you pass the village of Villanova Strisáili, slightly off to the left. A few kilometers further on, the road ends at the SP27 coming from the left in the direction of Villagrande-Strisali. Continue first on the old SS389 to the root of the Lago Alto del Flumendosa dam and to the Riu Sicaderba. Now turn right off the SP389, cross the river on a bridge and cross a railroad track near the Villagrande Strisali station (on the left). Then it crosses the railroad track again. A few meters later, the road to Canyon Riu e Forru turns off to the right. We stay on the main road and continue towards Taquisara. 4.6 km after turning off the SS389, a dirt road goes off to the left. We continue on this road in a southerly direction. We ignore a track on the left. Our track turns off after 1.6 km. Here we park the car.\n\nIf we have a car suitable for the following track in southeastern direction (e.g. 4x4), we can drive on this track to the entry.
Return: Right up to the approach path and back to the car or to the entry to the Baccu Ois.

2024-03-30: Everything tip top!
Approach: We cross the Weißach on a footbridge and about 150m further we come across a slope, which we follow to the right. We walk 2.4 km on this track (approx. 40 min.), then we come to a prominent right serpentine (1025m altitude), where a path leaves, which leads about 800m further upwards over the steep grassy slopes of the Totengraben ( http://www.bromba.com/berge/steige131.htm ) (Totengrabensteig). Finally it goes down in some serpentines into the Totengraben. Here we are at a dilapidated Triftklause and at the entry.
Tour: 8 rappels, lots of downclimbing, some possible jumps, longer running sections. First in the Totengraben, then in the Kirchwandgraben, finally in the Albertsbach.

Rio Nero di Ora: Canyon Start
2025-07-13: Hard to find acces point. Water level was sporty but not dangerous. Overall beautiful canyon
2025-06-15: Very nice, anchors all very good
2024-08-12: tolle Schlucht im Porphyr, schade, dass sie so kurz ist!
Approach: There is an entry point at an altitude of 750m, see http://www.ctgernstein.com/schluchten/Auerbach. Here you have to walk for a long time in the open streambed until you reach the interesting parts. We therefore recommend the access as described in P. v. Duin's book. To do this, take the abandoned forest path that starts at the north-eastern corner of the Kalditsch industrial estate and descends in a slight left turn for less than 10 minutes. It finally exits before a steep drop. Here we walk horizontally without a path for about 50m to the right and meet a clear path coming from the top right. Follow this down to the river. A few meters above the river still downstream, then we can - carefully - descend into the streambed.
Tour: 100m downstream from the entry we come to the first rappel (left). A little later the 2nd rappel with the "Progetto" badge. The 3rd and 4th rappels take us to the widening of the stream bed, where the water is drained off. Here, water is drained into the lower course at continuous intervals when the screen at the channel inlet is automatically cleaned. Over the dam down the 5th rappel, a little later the short 6th rappel. Then the 7th rappel to the right of the water-bearing chute (18m). The next short 8th rappel would be a wonderful slide if there weren't some boulders waiting for us in the pool, which is much too shallow. Then a real gorge section begins again. This is followed by rappel 9, the 10th over the rock platform to the left and from there the 11th and 12th down to the bottom of the gorge. There are 2 possible jumps here - after prior inspection. At the exit of the relatively flat gorge bottom we come to the (13th) rappel on the right rock face, a few meters before the waterfall (excess from the water drainage ?) pours down the high wall. The anchor is difficult to reach here, as a slab of rock has apparently "restructured" the belay. There is a bypass to the left. Finally, the exit of the tour is reached and we look for the path and exit to the metal footbridge on the right bank.

Mostnica: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the marked trail for 30 min to the Planinska hut. But you can also enter the stream before.
Tour: Very watery gorges, twice you have to jump 3m, otherwise long swimming passages and small, sometimes receding slides. Rock undercut in places, but not dangerous in normal water conditions. Has been done commercially. The stream can always be left between the gorge passages. In the last gorge there is a dam wall before the exit weir - climb up the 3m high dam wall on the left bank and jump down again on the other side.

Krimpenbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the forest road to its exit, then climb impassably and laboriously over an overgrown blow in a southwesterly direction. Where the valley narrows, the path becomes better and easier to find. One should already check the feasibility of the big waterfall during the ascent. Above the steep zone climb in as you wish.
Tour: Open forest canyon, anchors are sometimes difficult to find. The stream has a relatively large catchment area and quickly carries a lot of water after rainfall. At the big waterfall in 2002 had to rappel through the stream, but this point can be bypassed to the right. Below the large waterfall, the stream falls over large boulders to the valley - usually there were several anchors per break.

Approach: From the parking lot on the path closed to motor vehicles a few hundred meters through the forest to the houses of Miraval and a bridge. Proceed along the left bank of the river to the beginning of the gorge: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=14717382
Tour: There are two places we should pay attention to: First, a short fixed rope on the right side. You should not slide in here on the left side, even if the fixed ropes are "occupied". This is because you will come across rocks that are out of alignment and there is a high risk of injury. Be careful with jumps in general: The underwater is often blocked or less deep than expected! The second place is a narrow chute that can be overcome using a spreading or clamping technique.

Follow this road for about 3.5 km until you emerge from the forest into an open space. About 50 m further on, we park our second car. Access without shuttle: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=10235837
Return: After the exit of the gorge in a wide gravel bed to the road bridge; get off before it on the left.

Approach: From the car park on a small hiking trail up to a waterfall and here right uphill along a dilapidated path to an undercut rock wall. Walk along it and then up again. Soon you reach the official hiking trail and a few meters later follow the signs in the direction of Satteleggalpe/Schönenbach. After the forest border you reach the Wika-Alp. Now keep left to the lower hay barn, where climbing tracks lead down into the canyon. If you have moved a car, from the car parked above, continue up the tarred road. Passing a junction to the left, we go a few meters after the next left(!) Serpentine right onto a hiking trail , which we follow to the wooden footbridge over the Rehmerbach. Alternatively, access without moving from the village center orographically right of the creek climb on a small hiking trail to the height of the Rehmer Halde about 1090 meters above sea level. Then follow the road uphill for a short time after the linkserpentine right again uphill follow the trail about 150m to a small transition over the canyon.
Tour: Downclimb, slide and rappel in relatively open canyon. After the 4th rappel under the overhang, we find the next chain anchor by going up the chute on the left from the pool. The chain is then on the right below the chute (see photo!). From here we then rope to the belaystation above the 28m double step. On the long 45m diagonal rope, 40m ropes are also sufficient, because the last 5m can be downclimbed (left) or slid down (right). Before the last rappel from the slide brake, you can get off at the wooden footbridge on the hiking trail. At the entry you can find wild garlic even quite late in the year.

Access: From Bregenz via Alberschwende and Andelsbuch to Mellau and on to Au. Directly at the exit of the avalanche gallery of Au you turn left and get to Rehmen. At the church uphill to the Gasthof Rehmer-Wirt. Park either near the inn or continue about 150 m fairly steeply uphill (orographic right of the stream; follow signs to "Wasserfall") to a wood and material storage area near the flood control structure. It is also possible to make a car transfer by driving a second vehicle from the church about 20 m (back) in a northwesterly direction, then turning half-right, crossing the Rehmerbach stream and then driving up the so-called Rehmer Halde in long serpentines on a good, albeit narrow, tarred road. After the 4th serpentine it goes into a forest and there is a sign prohibiting further travel by car. Here the upper Kfz. park.
Return: After the final waterfall over the slide brake, which you may have already seen during the access, turn left at the wooden bench out onto the hiking trail and down to the (lower) car.

Access: From Ierapetra westward along the sea (rarely seen) to Myrtos (14 km). Passing the village, the road (No. 97) turns inland towards Ano Viannos and goes uphill. We pass Iera Petra and come to Martha. From here we continue in the direction of Pyrgos. 2.3 km after passing Demati we reach the turnoff to Tsoutsouros just before the village of Kato Kastelliana (from Myrtos to here 53 km.\nNow we descend to Tsoutsouros (0.9 km). Once here, we turn at an acute angle onto the road, which bends in an easterly direction, first parallel to the coast, then in a northerly direction. After 600 m we reach a junction (still before the greenhouses on the left side of the main road) and park the lower car here.\nWith the second car we drive back again 600 m, then again up to the right in the direction of Kato Kastelliana. 4.4 km further up we turn right onto a dirt road heading east. After 1.1 km we reach the exit of the slope at a "concrete box with flat roof". Here we park the upper car.

2025-04-14: We came out of the desert today and it was ok for that. It's not really canyoning, but a nice swimming tour amidst lots of tourists. Scenic but very beautiful! The boat still costs 1 OMR.
2020-02-26: Nice tour for a rest/travel day. Crossing the small lake under the highway bridge cost 1 OR per person. Lots of tourists in the gorge, but above the cave basin you are on your own.
Approach: To reach the path on the other bank, we either take a boat across (for a fee) or wade through the river, which is not very deep but muddy.
Tour: On the orographic left bank a path leads into the canyon. When a side canyon enters from the northwest, we can either continue along the river bed or follow the path that leads up the orographic left slope. After about 80 minutes on this path we come to an abandoned village. Here you enter the course of the river and follow it downhill. You come to a small drop-off, at the foot of which is a pool covered by rocks. You can get out of the pool downstream through a narrow, low chute in the rock. You can also walk up the streambed and then swim into this pool from below, climb out at the top (fixed ropes - 2020) and continue hiking up the river as you wish.

Approach: From the ball field we continue up the valley floor until we come to the canyon exit of Tarref d'Cima (large aqueduct with water tank). Here we climb the mule path on the orographic. right canyon rim steeply uphill, after reaching the ridge a little more moderate.Once the view opens right down into the canyon, before the path descends into the wide well-vegetated valley. On the left of the wall, a blue arrow points to the right into the streambed. We walk (carefully) downstream through the plantings and come to the concrete barrier that gives access to the canyon once you have carefully downclimbed on its right side.
Tour: 6 Minor rappel, walking and swimming passages.

Access: By (shared) cab we drive from the village of Ribeira Grande up the valley of the same name, past Coculi with its large school to Boca de Ambas Ribeiras (ambas Ribeiras: both Ribeiras: R. Grande u. Ribeira Caibros). Here the car turns left from the main road and drives in southern direction up the valley of Caibros to the exit of the tarred road, possible also about 400 m further to a square sandy place, which the youth likes to use for bolting (about 440 m above sea level - about 2 km from Boca de Ambas Ribeiras).
Return: At the canyon exit, follow the access path downstream and back to the ball field.

2025-03-23: Completely dry in the upper part. Very low water in the lower part. Currently 3 dead chamois in the canyon. But a heap of live chamois around the canyon.
2024-08-23: Very little water, all anchors available
Approach: From the Karwendelrast inn (860 m above sea level) on a forest road for about 1500 m in a westerly direction until a path (no. 224) turns off to the left to the 'Hallangerhaus'. Soon you come to the Haag Bründl (Stub Bach). Immediately after the brook the path branches off. At the same altitude you would continue to Vomper Loch and to the entry into the Unterer Tuwaldbach (Lower Kühsoacher). But we take the path to the right up to the Tawaldhütte (1274m altitude), direction Niedernissl, Hochnissl Spitze. Immediately after passing the Tawald hunting lodge, the path branches again. To the left, at about the same altitude, we go to the lower entry to the Tiefen Graben at 1260m altitude (at Amor/Riml "E1").\nTo the upper entry at 1670m (at Amor/Riml "E") we continue uphill to about 1600m altitude. Here we turn left off the trail and follow the track through the mountain pines to the entry at 1670m.
Tour: From "E" at 1670m altitude to "E2" about 25 rappel in a mostly deep canyon. \nDuring an ascent in Oct. 2018 - entry "E" - a total of 3 anchors were missing.

Return: Either get off at "E2" on the access path to the Unterer Tuwaldbach and to the Karwendelrast inn or better continue down the Unterer Tuwaldbach to Vomper Loch (for this descent and the following return route see the description Unterer Tuwaldbach/ Unterer Kühsoacher).

Teufelsgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: We ascended on foot via the path marked in the AMap on the western edge of the canyon. This path is completely dilapidated, difficult to find and takes longer than the actual canyoning tour. It is better to take two cars on the road to Mooshöhe from where forest roads lead to the canyons.
Tour: In the area below the forest road forest gorge with many blockages and at least one rappel of 30m height. From the tributary on the right, the canyon narrows slightly and you are faced with a 20m waterfall into a large pool. After that, the canyon becomes flatter again: lots of hiking, small slides, mini jumps and a handful of rappels up to a maximum of 12m. The rappels used to be secured with glued anchors, but these are now all completely bent over. However, you can rappel around all the rappels or abseil from natural fixed points. The gorge exits with a 27m rappel from two glued anchors on the right. The Quengraben, which flows into the Laussa to the west of the Teufelsgraben, is also drilled - access is difficult via a hunting trail on the eastern bank of the gorge.

Pallas: Canyon Start
Approach: If you only have 1 vehicle available, we recommend access from the bridge over the Isuala. Otherwise, from the 2nd vehicle, follow the track further up the ascent, passing a dilapidated house on the right and then following the signs for a mountain bike tour ('10'). After about 1 hour we reach the ridge on which the Hermitage de la Viren de la Vina is located further down, which can be seen from a distance on the left as we climb. However, we cross the ridge and follow a path that passes the 2 branches of the Bco. Vina and the Bco.Cerrigüelo. After the following ridge, we descend to the Bco. Pallas.
Tour: First in the streamlet or at its edge downhill; later the stream notches in the conglomerate rock and becomes more interesting. Finally, it flows into the Rio Isuala (Balcés Estrechos).

Pallas: Canyon End
Return: You can climb up the next but one Barranco Vina (the next one from the left is the Cerrigüelo), about 100m downstream (all climbable), but this is not recommended, as the exit up to the hermitage is difficult to find and arduous. Now assistance via: . Alternatively, if the water flow is not above average, walk down the Estrechos de Balcés to the bridge over the Isuala and the lower vehicle.

When rappelling, you have to keep strongly to the orographic left to reach a traverse rope to the next belay. If you miss this, there is still the old hanging belay 5m below. * 50m rappel of which 40m free hanging, 2 hangers. Space for 2 people. * 45m rappel, 2 anchors. Rock alcove, space for max. 4 people. * Escape option to the right (20min, largely pathless) Di* 5m rappel right, 2 anchors * Cross rappel to belay on the right. Rappel 37m from 2 anchors or rappel to the orographic far right corner (approx. 20 m), where there is a bolt chain. Unfortunately the rock there is extremely slippery (use a foot sling!) From there it is a good 25 m rappel * Mouth of the Soffia. You can either climb through this to Lago da Mis (2h), or exit after the next high rappel and the long corridor on the right and descend on foot along a small path through the forest to the access road (approx. 30 minutes). Alternatively, after the 105 waterfall in Pisson, you can climb up very steeply and largely pathlessly through the forest to the access path.

Comment: Parkplatz bei Gaststätte
Access: SS203 from Belluno Ri. Agordo, at Ponte Mas turn left towards "Valle del Mis". Nice overnight stay at the lake, legal 2016 only possible with camper. Continue through the valley and park after the bridge in the area "Cascate della Soffia".
Return: The exit is located after the next, approx. 38 meter high rappel of the Soffia. A longer corridor follows. When the canyon widens, there is a path on the right bank by a large boulder that first runs parallel to the water and then ascends into the forest. You pass an old water house and a memorial shrine before reaching the access road. This way back takes about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can descend the Soffia to the viewing platforms (highest rappel approx. 30m, 6 rappels in total - currently (May 2024) the last three are poorly equipped). If you like, you can also do the last rappel into the gorge to the lake. However, the access is a bit sporty and the starting point for the rope traverse is very difficult to spot.

Rio Brezzi: Canyon Start
2025-08-30: This canyon seems unresponsive to rain, after ~80mm still just trickles peacefully. This time I counted 19 rappels. The second part tends to be sometimes explorational.

Approach: From the parking lot, walk back over the Rio Brezzi. After the bends, a steep path marked with a gr 70 begins on the left up into the forest. Follow the path upwards to path 424. There are usually different paths, in any case you have to climb up to the path - currently (as of autumn 2023) the path already leads below 424 over the Brezzi and you come directly to the junction of the path that leads further to the entry (see Openstreet map or coordinates below) After several meters in altitude at approx. 730m you leave the path on the right at the point where the path pulls away markedly to the left. Descend here briefly (2 minutes) and without a path into the stream. The whole path is well marked on Open street map.
Tour: A few meters after the entry comes the highest abseil point of 40m (right). Two approx. 20m rappels follow without a path before you climb down a step in front of a large clamping block. After the clamping block, there are eight more abseils up to a maximum of 22m in the open wooded gorge terrain. Rappels are usually made via tree slings or compensating anchors in the water. If the water level is unexpectedly high, you can exit at any time on the right-hand side to the access path. At approx. 510m you cross again at access path 424 (you could get off here and follow the hiking trail to the parking lot). Now there are 3-4 absolutely nice rappels until you can get off directly at the road on the right.

Approach: Take the dirt road on the left that climbs very steeply for about1.2km to a picnic area. Arrive near a grove and continue left, leaving the grove on the right. Descend to Vatos, about 800 m from the picnic area, and cross it to cross to the left bank. Continue uphill for 200 m until you reach a large tree on a plain. Continue straight, crossing the plain, and take a path with hairpin bends. Continue until you come across a first drainage basin at an altitude of 610 m. Go past it, fording the stream, and continue at altitude until you reach a second drainage basin. Pass this too and continue along a faint path for about 100 m, then go left and climb following the line of centuries-old trees until you reach a plain. Continue climbing, going diagonally towards the canyon, until you reach a steep grassy gully, which you climb in a zigzag fashion until you reach a saddle with some old fences. Go right and climb a little further until you come into view of Kousanda. Approach the stream, maintaining altitude until you reach a descending canal with centuries-old trees. Descend carefully to the riverbed (elevation 760).
Tour: After an initial downclimb, which can be bypassed, there is a second one (20 m) to tackle on the right bank. A few descents follow until you reach a 20m long inclined plane, which you descend by rope. Continue along the right bank where there are rappel anchors, some natural, and passages for downclimbing, until you reach a landslide to overcome on the right bank. A small rappel on the left bank precedes a further landslide to be overcome on the right bank. This is followed by a 25 m high descent, which precedes a beautiful narrow section. We continue with a long series of rappels with an increase in flow due first tributary on the right and a second on the left. You arrive at the highest waterfall on the route (35 m) which, due to the play that the water forms, can be considered as a "bubbly massage". This is followed by a downclimb and a rappel that leads into the Vatos. You have to follow this stream for about 2 km, making three more rappels, until just over 500 m from the sea, on the right bank, a steep hiking trail begins.

Access: If you want to save a hot walk back, arrange a boat with Nicholas ‭+30 698 4508105‬ (English, no WhatsApp known) to check that he is running the boat. Arrange an approximate pickup time. Park a car at Pachia Ammos beach. If taking a boat back, park at the west of the beach; if walking back park at the east end. In the second car, go back for just over 2 km until you find the dirt road on the right that leads to "KPHMNIQTIEEA ". Go up the dirt road for about 2 km until you reach a small clearing on the right, 100m before the church and shortly after a steep dirt road on the left. Park. If a 4WD vehicle is available, it is possible to shorten the approach by 20 minutes by taking the dirt road to the picnic area where you can park.
Return: Best way to return is on the boat with Nicholas. If you want to walk: Take the hiking trail, about 3 km long and signed with red marks, which leads to the beach of PachiaAmmos through an often rugged path, with exposed sections and with a beautiful view of the sea. The first stretch, steeply uphill, leads to the most exposed section. A descent, very steep at times, followed by a climb leads to the pass from which you descend towards the beach and the parked vehicle.

Orrido di Botri, Ribellino: Canyon Start
Comment: über einen der linken Seitenbäche des Rio Ribellino
Approach: Either via Rifugio Casentini as in the upper access to the Mariana ("E4") and then on the "Gea 14" (Grande Escursione Appenninica) over the Mariana and further down to Colle de la Prada, to join the Ribellino shortly afterwards ("E2"). Easier - also because it can be done without transfer - from the parking lot at the Ponte Gaio "P1" (660m above sea level) we can follow the "Gea 11" in an easterly direction uphill on the ridge to about 1340m above sea level, where the path branches off. We now keep left on "Gea 12" until "Gea 14" branches off to the left of "Gea 12". We take "Gea 14", which then crosses a left tributary of the Ribellino (entry "E1"). We follow this tributary until it flows into the Ribellino. We only enter the Ribellino further down here, but in good time for the interesting parts. Of course, you can also continue uphill along the path - past an alp - to enter the Ribellino directly ("E2").
Tour: 5 or 4 (with side ascent) rappel in Ribellino, then river walk (with downclimb) in Orrido di Botri.

Mello: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, go up for about 3 km in Val di Mello until the end of the valley and continue up to Alpe Pioda. When you reach the meadows, turn right (south) down to the streambed, where you enter near a wooden bridge.
Tour: Narrow sections and wide rock faces alternate. You have to expect that the majority of the belays are unscrewed.

Approach: We first walk a few steps back to the fork and then take the forest path that leads down to the streambed of the Riera de Sant Aniol. We follow the path, cross the stream and after 1.6 km from the car we reach a large meadow. Here the path bends to the left away from the stream. However, we continue to follow the stream and after about 160 m we come to a small barrage. Here, either on its crest or slightly below on the opposite bank. Continue north along a path in the valley. As the path continues, we cross the stream three times and finally reach the former monastery of St. Aniol d'Aguja. Continue in a north-easterly direction, first crossing the Riera de Sant Aniol again, then up the slope on the other side on a clear path. On a hilltop - Coll de Clarioles, approx. 555m above sea level - the path branches off. To the left would be the entry to St. Aniol, but we go to the right, ignoring a path to the left later on and arriving at the Font de Sant spring. Continue along the path until it leads to the right into the streambed of the canal (entry).
Tour: Varied and enjoyable descent until a signs indicates the exit from the canyon - "Cami de Sortida". If there is still water flow here, we recommend a further descent to the karst spring, where the stream flattens.

Access: From Figueres on the Perpgnan - Barcelona highway, we take the N 260 in a westerly direction and after around 22.5 km we pass the interesting town of Besalu and continue on the A-26 for another 10.5 km. Then - exit no. "75", "Montagut" - we turn right onto the GIV-5233. After 2 km we drive through the village of Montagut and turn left at the end of the village onto the GIV-5231 in the direction of Sadernes. 2 km further on we pass the entrance to the comfortable Montagut campsite and after another 3.8 km we come to the hamlet of Sadernes (also with camping facilities). It is no longer permitted to continue from here. So we walk (also possible by bike) on a dirt road that first heads west and then north uphill along the small river. 2.7 km after Sadernes we come to a junction.
Return: Following the trail downhill we come to our approach path, which we then follow back to the car.

Approach: Follow the signs in the direction of Prielschutzhaus. After about 30min you reach the GH Polsterstüberl (up to here also bicycle possible). Then on forest road with driving ban further into the valley bottom, and over a steep, stony hiking trail to under a striking waterfall. Here into the gravelly streambed and steeply downhill to a mouth of another ditch from the right. Here is the entrance. Possibly you can also start the gorge from higher up (but then take more ropes and drill).
Tour: from Sauschwanz left rappel 10m, then 5m orogr. right downclimb (flattened glued anchor right), from left rappel 20m over two pools, then 6m from Sauschwanz right and 25m from anchor right. Exit of the first gorge section. 100m downclimb through the large blocky streambed (escape on the left), the second gorge starts with two slides/downclimb before rappelling from anchor on the right into a nice gorge section. Downclimb 2x5m, then a short rappel until a 10m rappel into a nice but unfortunately too shallow basin leads out of the second gorge. Again downclimb 200m before the third and last gorge begins at an escape possibility on the left. Carefully downclimb into the gorge (glued anchor high up on the left), the last two meters you can jump (be sure to check the pool first). Here rappel twice more (5m, 10m) before the gorge ends. The last Sauschwanz is in great need of improvement.

Erb: Canyon Start
2024-09-22: Everything ok so far. Some new fixed ropes, a few could still be replaced. Otherwise tip top. Currently for the Erb, lots of water.
2024-07-20: Good conditions after night thunderstorm. Really short, from car to car 90 minutes. Upper part was very slippery, a lot of fixed ropes, which looks like new.
2024-05-26: All stands ok. Some fixed ropes with sheath tears. Surprisingly little water and not very slippery. Despite the bad weather, the guides led us diligently today. Perfect half-day tour.
Approach: From the parking lot along the road in the direction of Großreifling (possibly with a second car); after about 1km there is a forest road to the left, follow this forest road to the waypoint, here branches off a clearly recognizable path that leads to the stream.
Tour: The canyon starts with several fun slides, some also with fixed ropes for belaying; then the rappels begin; very short rappels at the beginning, but increase up to 25 meters (7 rappels in total) until the end. The highlight of the canyon is the last rappel 25m directly in the waterfall. (Attention very much loose stones in the stream)

Return: At the second (?) tributary from the left you leave the canyon still before a large pool. The difference in altitude between the entrance and exit is about 200 meters. The path, which is hardly recognizable in parts, is marked with red dots. After about 10 minutes over the wooded ridge, a mule track leads to the left flank of Colombaia (watch out!).

Comment: im Weiler Lenguie
Access: Take the A1 (via Milan) or the A21 (via Brescia) to Piacenza (southern exit). On a bypass to the south around the city, then on the SS 45 through the Val di Trebbia via Bobbio to Marsaglia. Before the bridge turn left on SP 586 ( Chiavari ). At km 12 - Ruffinati - turn right over a bridge and up a narrow winding asphalt road to Lisore and on to a panoramic road. At the top (about 1050 m) turn left to Rovereto and continue on the high road to Orezzoli. About 300 m after this village, an unpaved road turns left to Lenguie. Pass this hamlet and park the car near the next hairpin bend, about 100 m before the exit.
Return: At the second (?) tributary from the left you leave the canyon still before a large pool. The difference in altitude between the entrance and exit is about 200 meters. The path, which is hardly recognizable in parts, is marked with red dots. After about 10 minutes over the wooded ridge, a mule track leads to the left flank of Colombaia (watch out!). The path climbs gently - finally crossing a side stream - to the starting point. Attention: If you continue to follow the red dots, you will end up in Orezzoli!

Hidan lower mit Hidan Siq: Canyon Start
Approach: The access, which leads as directly as possible to the entry of the Hidan Lower, that is, to the central part of the wadi at the 60m rappel, requires a sense of direction and a certain intuition in finding the way. It is also the exit from the Hidan Upper, part II (GPS coordinates: 31°28'35.10 "N / 35°39'28.33 "E). From here it is about 1000m to the 60m entry waterfall. If you want to be on the safe side, you can take the Hidan Upper, part II from the parking lot ("P 2") and walk in this part for about 3 hours until you reach the waterfall. It also makes sense to walk the Hidan upper II before and then remember the exit for the ascent of the Hidan lower (then as access) (if necessary with GPS logger).
Tour: The entry waterfall ("Barta") has a height of about 60 m (right above the stream). There is now an equipped stand to the left of the stream. There are also two drilled holes with threads for 10 mm bolts (with lugs) directly above the waterfall itself at a distance of around 8 m, which you would have to bring yourself (both). (last verified in 2016). Apparently there is also a stand about 20m to the right of the waterfall. To do this, climb up a few meters to the right and then traverse down a rocky cirque and - somewhat exposed - a rocky balcony to a chute where we should find the belay - God willing (see video: https://youtu.be/sRH-NuqocrU from 1.30 min). Otherwise you have to set an anchor yourself. During our ascent in 2016, our guides bypassed the waterfall orographic left (!) and downclimbed into the river bed below the waterfall. The stratification of sandstone and basalt in this basin, at the base of which we are now standing after the rappel, is interesting. We walk downstream and come across alternating cold and hot spring tributaries. The hot ones can usually be recognized by the red colouring of the surrounding rock. After about 1 hour, the canyon widens. During our ascent in 2016, we got out here to the right (about 160 m below sea level) and climbed back to the P2 parking lot (approx. 300 m ascent). Both the correct exit point and the subsequent path to the top are not easy to find. Our guides made use of a local goatherd for this purpose. Later, the Wadi Nimr soon joins the Hidan from the north. The Wadi Nimr also brings hot water. If you walk further downstream, dense vegetation prevents you from moving forward. However, we can bypass this part on a path that walks along the southern slope of the wadi and starts opposite the mouth of Wadi Nimr. The path goes up to about a third of the way up the canyon rim and we follow it for almost 1 km. Then the path leads back down to the river bed. About 2 hours later, the vegetation disappears completely, the canyon becomes narrow again and we descend over many small basalt steps - with swimming interludes in between. We are in the Hidan Siq. Jumps are also possible here - after prior inspection. Particular caution is advised at a "slide", which in 2012 had to be climbed from below using fixed ropes. In the lower reaches, a sharp stone was so dangerously jammed that there was a risk of injury even during the ascent or descent on the fixed ropes (the river makes a left-hand bend of almost 90 degrees at this point). Then it's not far (approx. 30 minutes) and we reach the striking final pool with a rock platform above it, which invites us to take a break. The parts of the Hidan Siq can also be walked on their own and are then approached from below. The starting point is the above-mentioned parking lot at "65" directly on the Dead Sea. From here, follow the route described under "Return" in the opposite direction. First up the bad track, then turn left onto a track coming from the right and follow this track, finally descending steeply to Wadi Mujib. In the Wadi Mujib then upstream until the waters of the Hidan flow into the Mujib through a reed belt from the left, orographic. i.e. from the right. Through the reed belt up to the large pool described below the "resting place" on the rocky plateau. Then up the stream to a large pot, which used to mark the exit and turnaround point of the tour. In 2012, however, a fixed rope was installed in the chute above. This enabled us to overcome the obstacle. This cleared the way for another unhindered ascent of the Hidan Siq upstream. The way back is then in the opposite direction. As a rule, this isolated ascent of the Hidan Siq is also combined with the ascent of the Mujib Siq, see the description there.

Access: First we have to park the car for the exit on the road "65" at the Dead Sea. For this we drive from the city of Karak on the "50" down to the Dead Sea. After 26.2 km we come to the T-junction "Mazra Junction" and there we continue to the right on the "65" towards the north for 23.5 km. Here (1,9 km before the bridge over the Wadi Mujib) we park our car for the exit. With the second car we drive back and up to Karak, here we take the old "Kings Highway", road "35", in the direction of Madaba. After about 65 km (from Karak) and 10 km after passing the village of Dhiban, we come to the bridge over the Wadi Wala, the upper reaches of the Wadi el Hidan. To the north of the bridge we turn left and descend along the wadi for 17 km. Then we have reached the entry to the upper part of the Hidan Upper. However, we now drive another 1.2 km on this road. We come to a place where the road "says goodbye" to the wadi in a right turn. Here we park the upper car.
Return: From the "resting place" downhill we quickly come to the confluence of Hidan u. Mujib. In the Mujib we walk downhill until we reach the fissure, which is the beginning of the Mujib Siq. If we don't want to continue in the Mujib - another 3 to 4 hours to the exit on the "65" - we go up in the valley cut in front of the rock walls on the left and quickly come across the rutted remains of a former track. Climbing upwards on it we reach a saddle and hike beyond with a beautiful view of and over the Dead Sea down to our car. As the track branches, we keep to the right and tend in the fall line down to the sea.

Bief a la Dame: Canyon Start
Approach: From the exit of the tarred road (where it branches), a dirt road leads down the middle in a northeasterly direction.\nThe forest road takes a turn to the right and we see below us the streambed descending from the south. We descend into the streambed and are immediately above the 20 m rappel.
Tour: The streambed is extremely slippery, several walking passages, repeated dead wood in the chute, worth it only when there is water flow.

Access: In Geneva (after the border), we join the A 40 highway (Autoroute Blanche) in the direction of Lyon. We drive on this highway for about 46 km. After passing through the 3rd tunnel, we pass the elongated Lac Sylans, which lies to the left below (south) of the A 40. At the exit directly at the western exit of the lake (towards Nantua), we leave the A 40, join the D 1084 (the former N 84) and drive on it in the opposite direction along Lac Sylans for almost exactly 5 km. Then we turn right onto the D 55 B. Follow this road uphill in the forest for just over 500 m in a southerly direction. The road then crosses "our" stream in a hairpin bend. Before the bridge on the right, there is plenty of space for our lower car. The second car continues uphill in the forest. After about 2.5 km, we come to a crossroads and turn right here onto the D 55. About 250 m after the crossroads, we pass through the village of Lalleyriat and continue uphill over open terrain to the next village of Poizat. We also pass through this village and come to the somewhat remote district of Le Replat. Here we turn right off the existing road onto Rue Champ Conty and head downhill in a north-northern direction along the tarred road. Keep right at the junction. We reach the exit of the tarred road and park our top vehicle here.

Access: First organise the boat: contact Nicholas ‭+30 698 4508105‬ (English, no WhatsApp known) to check that he is running the boat. Arrange departure from the beach, and an approximate pickup time. Drive the car to Pachía Ammos beach. Park at the western end at Nicholas's beach place. Proceed in Nicholas's boat to the drop-off point. Nicholas will show you where to climb up from the drop-off.
Return: Just before the last abseil into the sea there is a bolt traverse canyon right, which may have a handline rigged. Climb the traverse and up a bit to get phone signal. Turkey may have better signal. Call Nicholas, agree a pickup time. Time the last abseil so most of the party are down just before Nicholas arrives. There is a ledge to wait on about 2-3m above the sea. When Nicholas arrives, go to the left of the ledge, jump in and swim to the boat.

Access: Coming from Nuoro or Oliena, we turn right from the SP46 for 4.3 km from the point where the eastern road exit of Oliena joins the ring road and we go for 2.4 km to the Su Cologone spring. About 200m before reaching the large parking lot, we turn right into the Valle di Lanaitto. There follows a climb on a narrow tarred road that later becomes a dirt road. After 4.4 km we come to a Y-junction. We take the one on the left. Where it goes away to the right to the Grotta di sa Oche (2.2 km after the Y-junction), we go straight on always on the "main track", ignoring the tracks going off to the right and after about 4 km (from the Y-junction) we come to a widening on the right of the track, where we park our car. A few meters further, the track crosses the stream su Codulone. See also "Overview" in "Photo Gallery
Return: Back on the access path at the bottom, turn right to the slope and then left across the creek to the car.

Weißgriesgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car in a westerly direction on a field path to the forest. Shortly before reaching the forest, take a path half-right uphill above the Karnergraben. After reaching the forest road, turn left (west) on it for about 350m, cross the stream (Karnergraben entry) and immediately afterwards turn right onto a path that leads up to the Riedenbergalm (1400m above sea level). Continue on faint tracks in a westerly direction to the Thaleralm (1435 m above sea level). From here, continue west on the slope until it branches off on the opposite slope. Now head steeply up the slope in a pathless NW direction and on the other side down to the streambed of the upper Weißgriesbach, which you reach at about 1450 m above sea level. At the beginning, you can descend for some time to the right of the streambed until you reach the first rappel (from the tree).
Tour: The ditch is not without scenic charm, especially the access and the return march through the Kaiserklamm gorge, but otherwise only offers a few interesting (narrow) passages. At around 880 m above sea level, the Weißgriesgraben flows into the Eilegger ditch, which descends from the left. In view of the amount of time required, including for moving the vehicles - preferably the evening before - this is something for lovers of combined tours and collectors.

Weißgriesgraben: Parking at Entry
Access: A vehicle for the exit of the tour is parked at the Kaiserhaus on the Brandenberger Ache (below the Kaiserklamm gorge). You get there from Kramsach first in the direction of the Sonnwendjoch chairlift, then from the parking lot of the valley station along the orographic right bank of the Brandenberger Ache in the direction of Aschau. After the village sign of Aschau, do not drive into the village, but turn right and continue up the Brandenberger Ache until you reach the large parking lot at the Kaiserhaus (about 13 km from Kramsach). Take the second vehicle to Kufstein and from there in a north-westerly direction to Thiersee. Via Schmiedthal and Ascherdorf you reach Landl (about 9 km from Vorderthiersee). Immediately after the village, turn left over the Thierseer Ache and up to Riedenberg (a good 5 km from Landl). Turn right at the first houses and park your car at the exit of the row of houses (980 m above sea level).
Return: At the bridge, shortly before reaching the Brandenberger Ache, go out to the left or right, then wade through the Brandenberger Ache and follow the path on the far bank (orographic. right) downstream. The path leads us through the Kaiserklamm gorge to the Kaiserhaus.

Approach: We walk back on the road in a southerly direction, take the old road on the left at the tunnel entrance and continue on this road for another 450m. We see the rope spanning the river for the return transport, then the inconspicuous canyon exit and finally come to another rope that has spanned the canyon since around 2009. In the past, you were required to swim across the Rio Noguera Pallaresa on access, and even earlier you had to swim on the way back. So first you crossed the river using a steel cable and pulley(s). On the other side, up the slope, we come to a slope, which we then follow to the left to the entry point.
Tour: First running sections, with a 9m rappel in between. Then in a beam (also possible outside) 20m down into the underworld. Continue under a roof of rocks. Further rappels, slides and possible jumps.

Access: Coming from Lleida, we take the C-13 through Balaguer and Tremp to Pobla de Segur (97.8 km). We go up to the right into the town and continue on the N-260 towards Sort. 6.8 km after Pobla de Segur (town center) we come to a tunnel. On the old road outside the tunnel would be the ideal parking place, but the access here is closed to motor vehicles. Also directly at the access to the old road one can park badly. So we have in our last visits this tunnel still crossed and then parked the car 2 km further before the next tunnel access (more space).
Return: Not out to the river, but first up to the right and then beyond the ridge to the steel cable for the return transport across the river.

Infern: Waypoint
Comment: Tyrolienne en câble à prendre pour l\'approche (descente)
Approach: We walk back on the road in a southerly direction, take the old road on the left at the tunnel entrance and continue on this road for another 450m. We see the rope spanning the river for the return transport, then the inconspicuous canyon exit and finally come to another rope that has spanned the canyon since around 2009. In the past, you were required to swim across the Rio Noguera Pallaresa on access, and even earlier you had to swim on the way back. So first you crossed the river using a steel cable and pulley(s). On the other side, up the slope, we come to a slope, which we then follow to the left to the entry point.

Vorderer Steinbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Directly at the parking lot walk the Fortsstraße along the Steinbach. After more than one kilometer, a bridge leads over the Vorderer Steinbach. Follow the hiking trail uphill and after about 500m turn right onto a clear path. This path leads slightly uphill until you reach a fork after about 700m. There you take the right path in the direction of Steinbach Alm. Shortly before the alpine pasture you can descend into the Steinbach.
Tour: see video!

2023-08-15: Approach very steep and difficult to find. A lot of burrs necessary, hooks only sparse and available in the most necessary places.
Approach: Wade through the Piave and hike briefly downstream to the mouth of the Val Costamolin. On the orographic right side of the gorge exit, take a well-marked path up the first mountain slope, then follow the markings until they lead downhill to the right. Keep left here, the path is no longer marked and is difficult to see in the high grass. Ascend above a drop-off, then follow the path, which is more visible here, until it flattens out in the area of the ruined Casera Costamolin Bassa. Do not follow the path marked on the tabacco map uphill here, but stay on an overgrown but clearly visible path at an altitude of 900m (freshly cut, cairns). After a short steeper ascent into a forest saddle, the path leads in a descending traverse into the streambed of Val Costamolin. The path is largely correctly marked in OSM.
Tour: 18 rappelling points up to 25m. The waterfalls are mostly washed out nice and smooth, and often have a water fountain built in. In the upper part, a 20min long descending section clouds the fun a bit. After 2/3 of the canyon there is a short artificial tunnel (here entry/exit to the right). In the lowest third the gorge becomes very narrow and steep, waterfalls and diving pools alternate.

After another 7.2 km, turn left again onto the T-333 towards Valderrobres. Not quite 14 km after the last junction, we come to a T-junction where the T-334 turns off to the right in a northerly direction towards Horta de Sant Joan. We continue on the T-333 for another 5.5 km and then turn left into the village of Arnes. Here we head south - there are several options - towards "Toll de Vidre". After 4.1 km we come to the Coll de la Creu (590 m above sea level) and park our car here.

Wallbach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the valley station of the cable car we take the hiking trail towards Wallbachschlucht, which leads upwards along the Wallbach. After some time we cross the Wallbach to the orographic left side and continue upstream with a view of the waterfalls. We come to a bridge where the trail changes again to the other side of the stream. We follow the path uphill, but leave it at the second serpentine and climb down to the stream without a path. Now we can either enter directly here (E2) or continue hiking and climbing up the creek on the orographic left bank on indistinct tracks. Here the stream offers some nice jumps and slides.
Tour: After our start (E1) downstream so first the mentioned playful elements, then the canyon, which offers besides some rappel also slides and jumps. When the last rappel is "done" and the stream loses interest as we proceed, we exit to the left onto the path.

2025-07-31: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Badanela (inferior) (Quelle:
Approach: We now continue along the "main road", the tarred surface ends (anno 2016) and after about 200m we turn off onto a dirt road to the right. We follow it - on the right below we see the also canyoning accessible stream Alem - and come about 700m after the junction to a bridge over the Alem. It now goes 100m further slightly uphill, then we turn right at a fork of the track and reach a small meadow plain. 300m after the last fork, the track enters the forest. Here, in 2016, construction work was in progress to extend the slope. The slope transformed into an old mule track. Roughly estimated about 900m after entering the forest (anno 2016), a path completely overgrown with ginger plants branches off to the right. It is very difficult to find and was also overlooked by us at first. The approximate GPS coordinates for the turnoff are 39°27'56.14 "N 31°10'20.42 "W. We follow this old path down to the river. Measured entry coordinates here are 39°27'59.0 "N 31°10'19.7 "W.
Tour: The tour starts with a jump into a large pool under a rock overhang on the left bank. After about 40 min. of wading, downclimbing and swimming, we come to a 12m rappel (according to the cited book - estimated probably just under 10m) into a large, almost circular pool. Here we jumped. After another 45 min. we come to an inclined rappel (16m), which leads into a large, also circular pool. Immediately afterwards, the last rappel (19m) awaits us. After that we go downstream for another 20 minutes until we reach the reservoir. Here you should climb the steep bank on the left as early as possible to avoid the following mud passage to the reservoir.

Here we leave the A 3 and drive in first direction OSO to Siebnen and from there in southern direction over the Sattelegg mountain pass (1190 m above sea level) to the Sihlsee. On the east shore southwards to Euthal.further on the Sihlsee southwards to Unteriberg. Almost at the exit of the village turn right to Oberiberg. Exactly 2 km after this turnoff we park the first car at a suitable place (right below the road farm).\nWith the second vehicle (or on foot) continue to Oberiberg (1.3 km) and there turn right to Tschalun (another 450 m).
Return: After the exit of the narrow section, continue for about 100 m in the stony streambed, then turn right onto a dirt road (Holzstadel on the left) and follow it up to the tarred road.

Minster: Alternative Canyon Start
Comment: l\'entrée pour la 2. partie (descente)
Approach: From the square at the bus stop directly into the stream.
Tour: Quite open, many small steps, also some possible jumps. The second part is then more interesting with an attractive "crux". If the water flow is strong, you can bypass this narrow section at the top left (then 25m rappel, otherwise 15m longest rappel).

Chaliko Rema: Canyon Start
Approach: At the church, a paved path descends to the left, which soon mutates into a pad. We meet an open water pipe and follow the path to the left. After passing below a water reservoir, we take the path that descends to the right and meets a horizontal slope. Here a few meters to the right and then following the sign 'Tornos Canyon 100 m' left (northeast) down to the stream. Entry at the bridge.
Tour: Where the Chalikorema joins the Prousos flowing in from the left, up the Prousos. We come to a gorge constriction with the name 'Mikro Pantavrehi' (pantavrehi = everything rains). Here you could immediately go right up to the slope and then left over the bridge back to the village of Tornos, but it is worthwhile to continue in the Prousos a few meters further up the stream to the next interesting narrow point.

Return: According to the current regulations, before the canal crossings in the Guiers, follow the path left on ropes up to the canal (called "echappatoire" on the signs at the top vehicle) and follow it to the second vehicle (according to descente-canyon.com). It is better to follow the path up to the road that crosses the canal. This exit is just before a siphon, which you have to bypass anyway, and can be recognized by a cemented iron bar (formerly apparently a warning sign). The conventional (more convenient) exit (on the aforementioned and therefore no longer current "sortie" sign) is about 300 m later after the canyon opens (100 m afterwards) up to the left and under the large water pipes to the car. There may now be problems here with the fishermen.

Toidlbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow a forest road until you reach a junction where you continue to the left. At the Mühlaueralm, this branches into a wide footpath that rises to the right and a narrow footpath that branches off to the left through the forest, which you now follow uphill for about 350 meters. This path crosses the Toidlbach directly at the entry.
Tour: The route is mostly well set up, but at some break-offs the belay is missing. Then you have to go into the forest and avoid the places.

Tour: We wade through the narrow entrance gap that the river has eaten into the rock face. After some time we come to the only rappel (17m), which is completed largely outside the beam. After some time of further walking we come to some steps, some of which are set up with fixed ropes (also to bypass a siphon), some with iron clamps.

Approach: We continue along the forest road - it bends in a northerly direction - and after 850 m we come to a fork. We take the left branch of the road and after another 1100 m we come to a sharp left-hand bend, from where we can already see the Schwarzbach on the righthand side. Here we leave the forest road and follow the lanes in a NNW direction. At a suitable point, we descend into the streambed. Alternatively, stay on the path until it reaches the level of the streambed (plus 1 small slide and 1 mini jump).
Tour: Anchors were repeatedly removed, but then rappels from trees mostly possible Starting with a small rappel, we follow the watercourse. We hike, climb down and then rappel again. Later, we also pass through a narrow crevasse between slabs that rise vertically to the right and left of the stream. Immediately after the pipe passage, we exit to the left.

2025-05-16: A beautiful, but very short, rappel canyon. All anchors are in good condition, mostly 2 anchor points. Unfortunately mostly unfavorably placed - rope protectors are recommended.
Approach: If available, you can also cycle to the exit (approx. 1.3km). From the parking lot, continue along Hinterautalstraße, cross the Isar and continue along the orographic right bank. 1.3 km after the parking lot we cross the Isar again to the southern bank and after another 270 m we come to the bridge over the Kreidengraben (exit). It is also possible to walk to or back from the bridge on the "Isarsteig" on the orographic left bank of the Isar. 20 m after the bridge, we take the forest road up to the right. 800 m further on, the forest road bends to the left (1080 m above sea level). Here we leave it and take the path that leads south along the Hinterer Kreidengraben. After about 50 m, we descend in a hollow on the right down to the stream.
Tour: First descend a few meters in the open streambed until a continuous sequence of rappels begins. Exit after the confluence with the stream from the Vorderer Kreidengraben.

Approach: Before the road bridge over the Arnon, we turn left onto the hiking trail towards Sainte Croix. After a good half hour, this crosses the river. After that we look for an entry point into the river.
Tour: The first part offers some smaller rappels. At the end of the short gorge, it is best to take the access path back and then climb right before the beginning of the second and more interesting section of the gorge. Here are some jumps and slides.

Approach: On sight we keep - first slightly left , then in a wide right turn - towards the streambed. We come to a shallow widening of the streambed, where no slope needs to be downclimbed (entry - GPS: 36°28'46.36 "N 29°25'35.92 "E).
Tour: We quickly reach the gorge and the first rappel of a total of 15. The water is milky cloudy, especially at the beginning, so every potential jump and slide (about 6 each) must be checked for suitability. The stream winds its way between smooth walls. After about 35 minutes (from the start), a side stream flows in from the right, almost doubling the water flow. About 100 minutes after our start in the stream, we came to a clearly recognizable (trail) exit option on the right. About 10 minutes further on in the stream you can see a wooden footbridge above you. At the exit of the first part, the canyon widens and trees grow in the gravel bed. Here you will find the exit to the left after the first part. For a possible further descent in Bozudere inferiore, see the description there.

Access: First, head for the canyon exit of the Saklikent canyon. If you want to walk the upper and lower parts of the monster canyon combined, park the car here for the exit.\nFrom here now (if necessary with the second car) drive the road in northern direction. After 2.7 km turn right and drive uphill towards Arsaköy. After 6.1 km uphill we meet a road coming from the north and continue on it to the right in a southerly direction. After another 3.6 km we leave the road to Arkasöy and turn half-right (GPS: 36°30'24.75 "N 29°26'25.56 "E). We follow this road in southwestern direction. After about 1.8 km we come to a T-junction (GPS: 36°29'43.72 "N 29°25'47.79 "E) and turn right here. After 100 m the road turns to the left, 270 m further on the road makes a left turn - straight ahead a side road leads, on the righthand side an elongated hall - and 570 m further on (GPS: 36°29'19.59 "N 29°25'56.43 "E - covered bus shelter) we turn half-right. We now continue another 570 m slightly downhill. Here - GPS: 36°29'7.36 "N 29°25'59.65 "E - we turn left at a right angle onto a dirt road. After 620 m the track crosses "our" brook, the Bozu. We now continue above the stream in a southwesterly direction. After 440 m (from the bridge) we stay right at a fork (near the stream). Again 820 m further on we see a well on the left side of the path. Here (GPS: 36°28'46.59 "N 29°25'42.35 "E) we park our car.

Guggerbach: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the unpaved forest road for about 2.5 km or a good 40 minutes. Then we turn right at a junction uphill and after another 10 min. or 550 m we come to the Bertlshütte (1240m above sea level). The track bends to the right 55m further on and after another 60m we turn left from the main track at an acute angle. 200m further on the trail crosses the chalk stream. A few meters before that, an unpredictable, because little used, path goes up to the right. In serpentines it first goes up the slope, later the path then goes up in an easterly direction to a large open area south of the Altenberg hut (1490m a.s.l.). Across the meadow in the saddle further downhill in a northeasterly direction we come across a channel fed by a spring and follow it down to the Guggerbach stream. We meet it where it makes a 90 degree bend to the east coming down from the Gugger (Altenberg). Here we enter the path.
Tour: At first, for a considerable time in the open streambed without any significant gradient. Then begins a gradient that increases with increasing duration. About 20 rappel, many of them with redirectors (Sauschwanzl). The belay is very good and relatively new (anno 2016).

Access: From Reutte in Lechtal we drive to Plansee and there to the hamlet "Am Plansee" (9.8 km from Fernpassstraße B 179, exit Reutte Süd). From here we follow the road northwards for another 2.5 km - along the Torsäulenbach stream - in the direction of Linderhof Castle. Here the bridge crosses the Teufelstalbach (sign on the bridge railing). 25 m further on, we can take a path to the right and park our car here for the exit. Access is also possible from the direction of Oberammergau/Ettal. To do this, we leave the B23, which connects the two towns, in a westerly direction onto the St2060 towards Linderhof Castle. We drive past Linderhof, pass the German-Austrian border and 2.1 km after passing the BMW conference center (formerly Hotel Ammerwald) we come to the bridge over the stream from the Teufelstal. We take a second car in the direction of Plansee. After 1.6 km, a forest road turns off to the right (west). Here we park our second car at the edge of the tarred road (1000m above sea level).
Return: At the confluence of the Guggerbach and the Torsäulenbach we cross the latter, come to the tarred road and follow it downstream for about 100m to the car for the exit.

Rio Mulin Campiolo: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the marked donkey trail to Mogessa di Qua. First, climb 200m to a saddle and then cross in a descending direction towards the village. In the area of an erosion slope, the path was torn away for 10m, be careful when crossing. After crossing the almost completely abandoned village takes about 10min until you reach the bridge over the stream. It still pays to visit also Mogessa di La which is located on the other side of the gorge.
Tour: After about 200m you pass the ruins of the mill that gave the route its name (in operation until 1968), followed by a few short slides and a 2m jump until you are above an impressive rock basin with huge boulders. Abseiling chain for the following 28m drop on the right. After the large pool there are two jumps, 6m and 5m, be careful with the second pool: rock ribs in the underwater. After a few downclimbs, the canyon narrows slightly and a small slide leads to the last waterfall. Climb up to the left to reach a natural diving platform: 6.5m which can be repeated as often as you like. After the mouth of the Torrente Glagno, don't miss out on exploring the depths of the Torrente Glagno gorge about 500m upstream - beautiful tufa formations (takes about 60min there and back) The rest of the descent through the Torrente Glagno is just a hiking canyon with a few swimming passages and possible jumps.

2024-08-23: All good, 1 anchor missing (fresh debris flow), but enough trees there
Approach: From the Karwendelrast inn (860 m above sea level) on a forest road in a westerly direction for about 1500 m, until a path (no. 224) leads off to the left to the 'Hallangerhaus'. Soon you come to the Haag Bründl (Stub Bach). Pass it on the left and continue westwards on the only slightly ascending path above Vomper Loch. After about 45 min. you reach the Tuwaldbach (shown in AV map as Kühsoachgraben).
Tour: Rappel canyon in beautiful white limestone. No slides or jumps.

At the power station (670 m above sea level), turn right over the ladder and down to the left of the water intake (the gate can be opened from the inside). From the partly concreted flat area, a path on the left leads up to Gasthof Karwendelrast (approx. 25 minutes from the water intake). A car transfer is possible, but hardly worthwhile.

Estrecho: Canyon Start
Approach: The canyon begins on the ledge below the area where we left the car. In order to reach this ledge, we go without a path along the edge of the slope on the left (direction NE) slightly downhill until we can turn right onto the said ledge. On this ledge now again in southern direction. The first two chutes that now descend on the left are branches of the Barranco Estrecho, the next chute would be the Barranco Fontaneta. The terrain is confusing, so some orientation and tracking sense is needed. Both canyons join the Rio Isuala (at the beginning of the Balcés Estrechos). We now go to the entry of the left branch of Barranco Estrecho.
Tour: 3 sloping ropes, in between easy downclimb. We reach the ditch descending from the left (N) and here we can either go immediately in a northeasterly direction to the way back or first walk behind to the swimming pool at the exit of the Balcez Oscuros.

Approach: Follow the road for about 500m into the valley and then turn right onto a forest road. This leads over a bridge over the Straneggbach and after another 500m directly to the bridge at the waterfall. Shortly before you climb over a ridge on the left and land at the beginning of the waterfall where you can already see the BH flashing. You can then, depending on your mood, continue to climb orographically right in the forest and enter further up. During our ascent, we took the next step, which was also equipped with a chain anchor. Possibly there are above also still nice passages.
Tour: Above the bridge there are a few short rappel but also nice narrow passages. Then the canyon becomes more vertical, in total there are 3 20m steps and a few smaller ones. In between there are always nice scours to wade through.

Livrio: Canyon Start
Approach: We look for an indistinct path that runs away from the car in a southerly direction towards the Livrio valley, crosses the slope diagonally downwards and reaches the streambed.
Tour: Access not easy to find. Initially in the streambed long march over "Schutthalde" to the constriction. Even then not overwhelming. Several times small rappel "in the stream".

Livrio: Canyon End
Return: After the water drainage and slide brake, turn left out onto the trail and continue downstream to the car.

Livrio: Parking at Entry
Access: From the center of Sondrio, take the SS 38 for 4.3 km along the right bank of the Adda towards Lago di Como. At the exit of the industrial area on the right of the road, turn left on the Adda and go south towards Caiolo. In the center of the village turn left and then right again before the bridge over the Livrio. In the street on the orographic left bank of the Livrio we look for a place for the lower car.\nWith the second one we go 1 km (from the road bridge towards Sondrio (NE), then we turn right and go not quite 2 km to the houses of Albosaggia at the wooded foot of the slope. From here, head WSW up Via Torre as far as the hamlet of San Antonio (2.5 km from Albosanggia). Then continue for about a hundred meters and park the second car at the edge of the woods.
Return: After the water drainage and slide brake, turn left out onto the trail and continue downstream to the car.

Approach: If we only have our car(s) at the exit of the gorge descent, e.g. also in the case that we do without a transfer, we continue from the car on the slope for about 100m and then turn left at an open angle onto an old military path. This makes a wide turn to the left. At a right-hand serpentine at 775m above sea level, we take the path that continues straight ahead and walk almost level for about 300m in the direction of the stream. We try to continue on the indistinct tracks at about the same altitude. We pass a small stone wall. Behind this we come to a fairly overgrown path that leads towards the canyon. We walk downhill for about 100m, cross a meadow and 50m after its exit - the path now climbs slightly uphill again - turn left onto a thin track that leads us into the streambed, directly at the entry (750m above sea level - see sketch: http://www.swestcanyon.ch/Canyons/Tine/AccesTine.pdf). If we have parked a second car at the top (e.g. because we were confused by the access description), we first walk downhill on the wide path to the right of the stream. At a fork after about 150m we continue downhill. At about this point, you can descend into the streambed without difficulty, but then you have to walk a good distance down the streambed to the beginning of the gorge. Alternatively, you can continue downhill on the wide path (another 400m or so); here a wide path turns left towards the stream. However, it gets lost, then becomes recognizable again and allows us to descend into the stream just a few meters above the start of the gorge, 770m above sea level. For a sketch of these access options, see Brunner/Betrisey p. 162.
Tour: In a gloomy atmosphere - when the sun isn't casting its rays into the canyon - we take one rappel after another. Smaller slides from time to time. Water flow is usually moderate.

Access: From the eastern shore of Lake Geneva - Montreux - up the Rhone valley in a southerly direction. After about 17 km on the N9/A9 you reach the Aigle exit (no. 17) and from here drive straight on in a westerly direction to Vionnaz (from the exit to the traffic circle in Vionnaz) for about 3 km.\nIf you are coming down the Rhone, the Aigle exit mentioned is about 21.5 km south of Martigny on the Autoroute de Rhône.\nFrom the traffic circle in Vionnaz, drive 60 m towards the center of the village and then turn half left after 60 m onto the Route de Torgon, which leads up to the village of the same name. We now drive uphill in many hairpin bends. 150m after the 5th hairpin bend and 2.1 km from the start of the Route de Torgon, a track turns off to the right at an acute angle in a northerly direction. If it is rideable, you will reach the Tine de Mayen at the exit after about 500m on this forest road. Just beyond the stream we find a place to park the car. If you have 2 cars available, you can take the second car another 5 km uphill (another 7 hairpin bends) and then come to a large parking lot (in 2015 this was a garbage collection point) just before the bridge over the Torrent de Mayen. We park the 2nd car here.
Return: At the canyon exit in the creek or on the right next to it to the slope and then on the left to the car

Approach: We continue on the slope upstream. A few meters before the track describes a left-hand serpentine, we turn right and cross an orographic. right tributary of Tech. We follow the yellow markings uphill, passing the houses of La Baragane and La Grabodella. Finally, we reach Cabane de Ouillat, a circular stone shepherd's hut at 1640 m altitude. From here northwards down to the Tech.
Tour: Long runs, with downclimbs, slides and lots of smaller rappels in between. We enjoy the high alpine ambience.

Approach: From the location of the first vehicle at the bridge downstream, after about 800 m you reach the first pools.
Tour: You should do the hike when there is still water flowing in the second part (best time April-May). If you only have one vehicle available, you can walk back on a path that branches off to the left shortly before the confluence with the Merderis and takes you back to the starting point in about 3 hours in a westerly direction. For more information, visit http://clementdom.free.fr/html/concluses_de_lussan.htm and consult the map mentioned above. About halfway between Lussan and Verfeuil, a small road ('tres Pins' or 'tres Tinos') turns off to the left (northwards), leading tourists to a viewpoint where they can enjoy a beautiful and informative view of the Concluses.

Approach: From the location of the first vehicle at the bridge downstream, after about 800 m you reach the first pools.
Tour: You should do the hike when there is still water flowing in the second part (best time April-May). If you only have one vehicle available, you can walk back on a path that branches off to the left shortly before the confluence with the Merderis and takes you back to the starting point in about 3 hours in a westerly direction. For more information, visit http://clementdom.free.fr/html/concluses_de_lussan.htm and consult the map mentioned above. About halfway between Lussan and Verfeuil, a small road ('tres Pins' or 'tres Tinos') turns off to the left (northwards), leading tourists to a viewpoint where they can enjoy a beautiful and informative view of the Concluses.

Approach: About 250 m further up the road we come to the cascade of Bes-Courmes. From the road here turn right into the water and then left with two rappel (10 and 4 m) under the bridge down to the Loup.
Tour: After the second 4 m slide, the water plunges down a rapid into a narrowing (key section). There is danger here even with normal water flow, so you should bypass it on the left (then right over the bridge and left - if necessary with a jump - to get back in).

Return: At the bridge from the stream and to the car

Zonari: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car directly down into the streambed.
Tour: You can 'enrich' the tour a little bit, if you 'take' the right side canyon (called 'Canyon Right' on the topographic view in Bromirakis' book) at the beginning. One reaches this narrowly cut and at least in spring water-bearing side canyon after having downclimbed the Zonari a bit; one then takes the path on the right directly after the tributary, which brings us in about 10 min. up to the beginning of the gulch and to our descent into this side stream (max. rappel height here about 15 m).

Zonari: Canyon End
Return: After the confluence of the Zonari canyon with the Sarazina canyon (with continuous water flow), we now follow the river downhill to the exit of the canyon. At the water intake we take the path that brings us to the lower vehicle.

Zonari: Parking at Entry
Comment: 15 km shuttle
Access: From Ierapetra in the direction of Viannos westward along the sea (rarely seen) to Myrtos (14 km). Passing the village, we turn off the main road in northern direction (Mithi, Males). We pass through Mithi and a few km after this village we turn left to the exit of the Sarakina canyon (dam). On the large parking area we park the lower vehicle.\n\nWith the second vehicle we go back to the road and continue on it again in northern direction. Again we do not take the road to Males, but follow the road to the left, which leads us to Hristos. The tarred road brings us further - finally over some serpentines - up to Metaxohori. We drive south through the village, the tarred road turns into a dirt road and we continue on it. About 2,5 km after Metaxochori we pass a gate and 1,5 km after it we reach first the streambed of Zonari and a few meters after that the place where we can park the second vehicle (conversion about 17 km).\n\n\n\ With the second vehicle we go back to the road and continue on it again in northern direction. We then again a few km further do not take the road to Males, but follow the road leaving to the left, which leads us to Hristos. The tarred road brings us further - finally over some serpentines - up to Metaxohori. We drive south through the village, the tarred road turns into a dirt road and we continue on it. About 2.5 km after Metaxohori we pass through a gate and 1.5 km after this we reach first the streambed of the Zonari and a few meters later the place where we can park the second vehicle (realization about 17 km).\nThe distance data in Bromirakis' book referring to the access road should be treated with caution.

Comment: Parking at the beach after the boat trip
Access: Access requires a car shuffle, possibly a mountain taxi, and arranging the boat return. First organise the boat: contact Nicholas ‭+30 698 4508105‬ (English, no WhatsApp known) to check that he is running the boat. Arrange an approximate pickup time. If using a mountain taxi, contact Sakis (call or WhatsApp +30 694 7099107‬, some English) to arrange. It is recommended to use a mountain taxi up the mountain as the road is bad and the sharp rocks cause punctures. Park a car at Pachia Amos beach on the end of the road on the south side of the island. Take the mountain taxi or another car to the broadcast tower, up the mountain on the north side of the island.
Return: Call Nicholas to be picked up.

Approach: From here 150 hm to a fork, where the path branches off to the left. 50 meters later you cross the Tiefenbach ditch. Follow the path almost at the same level until the exit (cattle trough). Here, cross the stream, climb steeply for 10 m and then climb at the same level from tree to tree on a barely visible path until a large fallen maple tree lies to the right of the path, which is visible from here on. Follow the slightly ascending path, over a barbed wire fence, further to the first clear, water-bearing ditch, which - easier left - is descended to the Kreuzbach.
Tour: The Wsf. quite at the exit, which initially walks wide, then right concentrated, can also be rappelled left over a tree.

Access: From the Inntal freeway exit Kramsach orographic right of the Brandenberger Ache to Aschau. A car can be parked directly at the exit at the last Wsf. (approx. 4 km after Kramsach or 150 m left after the signpost to the footpath to Tiefenbachklamm). With the second car follow the road to Aschau and from there continue on the tarred road until you come to a 4 x 5 m wooden shed on the left, where there are several signposts. Here a small road branches off to the right, leading steeply uphill to Wimmer and the Eil Alm. At the exit of the tarred road, before the prohibition sign, the car can be parked on the right.
Return: After the last waterfall orographic left 50 m to the car.

Rio Cabrao: Canyon Start
Approach: At the orographic. right edge of the open canyon on climbing tracks upward, then later in the streambed itself to a prominent bend ('entry').
Tour: Mainly for collectors, possibly with children;100 m above the start of the descent an old mill, which is still very well preserved.

Rio Cabrao: Canyon End
Return: Before the culvert right to the road.

Havgas: Canyon Start
Approach: From the upper car walk a few meters along the right bank of the streambed until a walk in the streambed appears.
Tour: At the big pool at the beginning the first one should be equipped with neo and build a rope ferry (see photo!)

Havgas: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel through the slot in the rock face (at least that's how the observer below sees it) continue a bit in the streambed and then out to the left to the vehicle.

Havgas: Parking at Exit
Access: From Agios Nikolaos on the so-called New Road (No. 90/E 75) towards Sitia, past Pachia Ammos (up to here 19 km). The road to Ierapetra turns off to the right (south). We continue straight ahead (east) towards Sitia and reach Kavousi after 5 km. We drive through the village and turn right at the last houses and before the bridge (sign 'Archeological Site'). Just before the road starts to climb, we park a car. We then drive up the concrete road, ignoring the turn-off to the 'Archeological Site' (2.2 km from the turn-off from the E 75) and pass one of the oldest olive trees in Crete. Then we go downhill a little and cross a streambed (4.3 km): to the right (south) the Mesonas exits, to the left the Havgas begins. We park the other car here and, unless we have a second vehicle, we can walk up a path on the orographic right-hand slope, always close to the canyon. When you reach the dirt road, turn right to the entry.
Return: After the last rappel through the slot in the rock face (at least that's how the observer below sees it) continue a bit in the streambed and then out to the left to the vehicle.

Rio Pontaiba: Canyon Start
Approach: Entry on the orographic right bank at the road bridge that crosses the Pontaiba.
Tour: After the 3m entry jump into a deep pool, there is the first abseil (approx. 12m) followed by the 16m abseil. It is essential to rappel on the double rope, otherwise the rope can become a problem. After some block climbing, a path becomes visible on the orographic right bank, which you follow until you reach the asphalt road.

Rio Pontaiba: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: A23 to Osoppo exit, first drive towards San Daniele, after a few kilometers turn right towards Forgaria. After crossing the Tagliamento river, turn right via Flagona towards Pinzano. Once in the valley of Rio Pontaiba, at the houses of Pradaldon, go up the road "Localita Pradaldon" and park in front of the rock gate.
Return: Back up the asphalt road to the parked car.

Rio Pontaiba: Canyon End
Return: Back up the asphalt road to the parked car.

Teufelstalbach: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the path that begins somewhat hidden in the park area, but is clearly marked with a sign in the direction of Geierköpfe, Zwerchenbergalpe.The path first goes up in steep grassy slopes, then flattens and takes direction to the Zwerchenbergalpe. Before reaching the alp descend over the grassy slopes in a southerly direction to the stream, entering at the latest where the path crosses the stream. We must be careful not to descend too early and thus into the wrong ditch.
Tour: We first follow the meandering stream until we reach the first rappel point. Now 33 rappels follow. At the beginning, the stream is somewhat cut, later it pours down broadly over the crags until it collects again in a chute in the last quarter.

Teufelstalbach: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel (just after the rock fall, under which the water flows) we look for the most pleasant way to the road bridge at the edge of the stream.

Selva: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot (470m altitude) we take the path across the Fiume Cismon and hike up the path to the hamlet of Pugnai (650m altitude).Continue on the path at about the same altitude in the direction WSW. The path leads to "our" stream (entry).
Tour: After a short stretch in the stream we come to the first rappel (C15). At irregular intervals, 7 more rappels follow, then a slide brake with ladder (which can also be rappelled down). After that an (emergency) exit to the left is possible. There follows a C30 as well as a C7 down to the Fiume Cismon.

Selva: Canyon End
Return: We cross the Fiume Cismon and walk upstream on the other bank to the car.

Jenesierbach: Canyon Start
Approach: see map sketch in photo gallery Description in German: http://www.ctgernstein.com/schluchten/jenesier-bach

Lisore: Canyon Start
Approach: cf. above
Tour: Mostly open canyon in forest terrain, 'gravel slippage' (because a storm in spring 2001 deposited a lot of debris, so hardly any jumps are possible), not very attractive. Better the lower parts from the road to the Rio Aveto. See photos and videos

Lisore: Canyon End
Return: At the mouth of the Aveto, cross it and meet the car parked below. You can avoid swimming through the Aveto if you go up to the right after the exit until you can avoid the steep drop on the right above. In this case, the lower vehicle should be parked about 1.1 km after the Aveto bridge at Ruffinati.

Lisore: Parking at Exit
Access: Take the A 1 (via Milan) or the A 21 (via Brescia) to Piacenza (southern exit). Take a bypass around the town to the south, then take the SS 45 through the Val di Trebbia via Bobbio to Marsaglia. Before the bridge, turn left onto the SP 586 ('Chiavari') and leave the car at about km 12 or 600 m after the end of Salsominore. 900 m further on, turn right at Ruffinati over the Aveto and up to Lisore. Here you cross the Rio Lisore below a water intake (exit upper parts, access lower parts). Here you can take a look at the 30 m abseil point directly below the road. The entry point is where the Rio Lisore is crossed again (after 3.6 km) on the further ascent, and there is a suitable parking lot about 100 m further on in a bend to the right.
Return: At the mouth of the Aveto, cross it and meet the car parked below. You can avoid swimming through the Aveto if you go up to the right after the exit until you can avoid the steep drop on the right above. In this case, the lower vehicle should be parked about 1.1 km after the Aveto bridge at Ruffinati.

2025-06-15: A great little canyon. The path uphill is very well equipped with steps and rope traverses. Unfortunately, we mistook an emergency exit for the entry and got in between rappel #7 and #8 (all rappels...
Approach: From the parking lot back to the shelter and from there follow the marked hiking trail to the canyon. The well-maintained hiking trail, secured with rope traverses, leads along the orographic right-hand side of the stream to the entry point - several branches lead to various rope bridges that have been set up for the via ferrata in the canyon.
Tour: Well-equipped, much frequented gorge. There is also a via ferrata (not open to the public) through the rock faces of the gorge. The belays are all marked with plaques and numbered consecutively - start at at the top you start at #10 until you reach #2 at the bottom. (#1 could not be found by the writer). In the upper part, waterfalls up to 18m, downclimbs, slides and narrow passages alternate. At the bottom, a shallow 45m waterfall (belay #3) is followed by a shallow 60m waterfall (belay #2). At belay station #3, make sure you rappel the 45m directly to belay station #2 and don't unhook after the steep part of the waterfall (approx. 20m), as the path to belay station #2 is very slippery and dangerous. The not too interesting 60m waterfall can be bypassed via a fixed rope traverse, which is located directly at belay #2 and thus saves the 2x 60m rope.

Freiengrabenbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Hike along the sand road for about 2.5 km to Windischbachau at the head of the valley. Cross the Alplbach stream and follow the marked hiking trail towards Tremel up the first steep step. Leave the marked path to the right at a sign and continue horizontally on an unmarked but clear path. After a while you come to a very overgrown forest road, which you follow until you reach a scree barrier. Entry here.
Tour: Many small jumps and slides in a low gorge with beautiful washouts. Can be combined well with the nearby Alplgraben.

Freiengrabenbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Turn off the B25 into the Steinbach valley and drive to the exit of the public road at the Steinbach hunting lodge.

Mühlbach: Canyon Start
Approach: From Lessern, follow the marked hiking trail in the direction of Wörschachwald. When the path meets a road crossing after a longer ascent, follow it to the left to the Mühlbach stream. You can get in at the bridge, but there are also climbing tracks that lead directly to the start of the waterfalls (seen from the stream)
Tour: Initially a long hiking route with small slides and possible jumps. This is followed by three abseiling points (10m, 25m, 50m), each with walking passages in between. Above the abseiling points are fragile steep slopes - danger of falling rocks.

Mühlbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: Parkmöglichkeit Lessern
Access: In Trautenfels drive in the direction of Tauplitz, park in Lessern (signposted: waterfall). If you have two cars: continue to Tauplitz, then turn off in the direction of Wörschachwald. The road leads along above the canyon - turn off at the first road leading down into the ditch and park near the bridge.
Return: Via the trail secured with wooden planks and steel cable - alternatively you can stay in the streambed.

Val Rinaldo: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot follow the initially very steep path uphill. After about 300hm the path becomes flatter and you cross high above the canyon there. After crossing several streams, it gets steeper again before the path reaches the unmanaged but open hut Ric. Rinaldo. At the hut follow the signs 'Aqua' to soon reach the streambed.
Tour: Several powerful and cold springs flow into the Rio Bianco in the area of the entry - so the water flow is already respectable from the very top. There are no obvious escape routes until the exit. After a very short walking passages, the first gorge begins * 10m rappel from anchor on the right * 3m rappel from a jammed tree on the right * 8m downclimb over ledge on the right * 10m rappel from anchor left * 23m rappel from anchor right * 15m rappel from anchor left * 10m rappel under clamping block from anchor right * 3m rappel from anchor left * 15m rappel from anchor right * 4m rappel from the right-hand chockstone sling, from here the gorge opens up a little * 5m rappel from anchor right * 150m downclimb, small waterfall from the right * 10m rappel from tree trunk with sling on the left * 200m downclimb and slide, beautiful waterfall from the right * 5m rappel from tree trunk with sling on the right * longer hiking and abseiling section * 26m rappel from 2 old anchors with a sling on the left, a very narrow gorge begins * 20m rappel over two steps from anchors in the middle of the stream * 10m rappel from anchor on the right * 4m rappel from ring bolt far right at the top (or from the previous bolt - then approx. 25m) * 100m hiking and downclimbing in a narrow gorge * 10m rappel from anchor on the right * 100m hiking and downclimbing in a narrow gorge until the canyon opens up again. Apparently there was a big landslide in this area a long time ago. * 20min of laborious downclimbing between giant boulders * 18m rappel through the water jet from anchors on the right * 10m rappel between clamping blocks on the right. * Another 50m downclimb, then leave the canyon to the right at the first opportunity - after a short time you reach the ascent path just above the parking lot.

Approach: From the CocheCab2, continue along the Caje Molino de Alacron and cross the Puente (bridge) de las Curtidurias. We continue and pass some houses on the right of the road. Immediately after this row of houses, turn right and follow the path that leads down to the Guadelevín (entry). You can also park at the exit of this row of houses on the left-hand side of the road. If we only have one vehicle and have parked it at the Albergue Los Molinos, we take the footpath up to the town, cross it and come to the entry via the Puente de las Curtidurias as described above - see the blue route in google maps in the photos.

Lochner Wasserfälle: Canyon Start
2025-06-23: Everything was fine up to the crux, sometimes very slippery. In the hole after the 20m rappel large tree trunks inside, a step to leave the hole completely bent. Then on the following 12m rappel there...
2025-05-10: Great conditions, stands ok. Some fixed ropes renewed.
2024-12-30: In winter, in ice and snow, walk from halfway up to the bridge. Pay close attention to falling ice and avalanches. In fresh snow, this can lead to dangerous situations, especially in the upper section...
Approach: From the parking lot at the sports field we follow the road further through the houses of Oberwinkl and cross the Ramsbach. About 100 meters further we keep left at the junction and come to the bridge over the Kohlenrieder Bach. In front of the bridge - following the heaped signposts - among others "Wasserfall" - turn right and follow the path along the brook upwards. The path goes steeply up in serpentines and after about 40 min. (keeping left at the signposted turn-off to the Angeringalm) we come to the wooden footbridge over "our" brook. We look at the Lochner waterfall, which marks the exit of the upper part of the gorge climb. Continue up through the forest until we meet a forest road, which we follow to the right. We cut off a serpentine of the forest road, when we reach the track again we follow it to the right until it ends. Here we descend to the stream, rappel the last meters from the tree if necessary.
Tour: The upper part is not unattractive, especially the 32 m rappel. The lower part (from the wooden footbridge) is a forest canyon with downclimbs and many smaller rappels (max. about 25 m). The belaying is of inconsistent quality. Several times there are optimal chain anchors (where they would not necessarily be expected), but on the 32 m rappel, where one would wish for such a chain anchor, there are only 3 isolated anchors, one of which is a glued anchor. At the high rappel, after about 25 meters you come to a small swimming pool, where you will find a usable anchor for a transfer on the "outer wall" on the left above. The stream should also be run commercially.

Approach: We follow the road slightly uphill for 300m and we arrive at the farmstead L'Eterpaz, 1368m above sea level. Here the road ends. From here we follow the inconspicuous path across the meadow slightly uphill into the forest. We pass a wooden hut ("Au Pralez, alt. 1443m") and a few minutes later we reach the streambed. As with the neighboring Tenasses, you can still climb on the orographic. right side of the slope to start the descent a little higher in the stream.
Tour: Descent in mostly open streambed on grippy and mostly smoothly polished limestone in small-scale ledges. Practically no running trails.

Access: From Chateau d'Oex in the Saane Valley (975m a.s.l.) we take the Route du Mont,\nhalten at the last houses on the right. Passing the houses of Le Mont (1097m a.s.l.), we go up to the hamlet of Les Planches (farm on the right above the road, 1300m a.s.l.), which we reach after crossing a small stream a few meters before. 260m further on, we do not take the hairpin bend to the right, but keep straight on, and then after another 190m - again a farmstead on the right above the road - we park our car in the right-hand bend on the open space to the left of the road. From here you can see the Leyvra already shr well.
Return: Where the stream flattens out (1270m a.s.l.), we climb out on indistinct tracks to the left and walk trail-less across the meadows up to the parking lot.

Ticinetto (Inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot on the road in a southeasterly direction - along the small reservoir - to the dam with company house, passing it on the left and then in a right turn down to the channel. Access directly at the horizontally shooting out water jet with a 7 m jump possible.
Tour: Right at the beginning there is a 22 m slide. Directly after this, the exit is on the left. After Nizzola, "the descent into hell" begins here. The difficulty arises from the fact that after rappelling into the narrow section in the water spray, you have to set up a handrail and the following 30 m rappel in the lower section leads into a chute (with full water pressure), from which you should stay out as far as possible (pendulum slide). Despite its short length, the Ticinetto is one of the most attractive canyons in Ticino in terms of both sport and scenery. Water drainage with a small reservoir above the entry point. Please contact the power station operator (SES) before and after(!) the tour: Tel. 0041(0)917569301 With regard to the amount of water, also note the overflow from the reservoir! (in this respect, Nizzola is mistaken when he only refers to the pool after the sheet pile wall).

Ticinetto (Inferiore): Canyon End
Return: At the water diversion, exit to the right over the iron ladder, then cross the stream to the left and, starting under the large downspout, walk up the footpath to the entry.

Ticinetto (Inferiore): Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Biasca on the main road for about 13 km in north-east direction (Gotthard). A good 5 km after passing through the village of Giornico, turn left and head west up to Chironico. At the entrance of the village (on the above mentioned CNS map at the altitude "787") we take the road on the left that leads us in a wide curve to the south side of the village of Chironico. Here we park the car in the parking lot on the right, below the road.
Return: At the water diversion, exit to the right over the iron ladder, then cross the stream to the left and, starting under the large downspout, walk up the footpath to the entry.

Auerlingbach: Canyon Start
2024-09-20: Mostly only single anchors without rapid links, many downclimbs.
Approach: To the top of the parking lot and then on the forest road 5 min to the first rightward haipin bend. Here is the exit point - climb over the embankment and check the water level. - Continue up the forest road - it gets relatively far away from the canyon. At the third rightward haipin bend, a forest road with little traffic (dash-dotted in ÖK50) branches off to the left in the direction of Auerlingbach. Continue along this road for about 300m until the (small) concrete dam becomes visible in the canyon. Not easy to see through the forest, but it is the first place where you can recognize the stream at all. Here, descend the steep forest in a fall line and in the subsequent flatter terrain keep far to the left and traverse the last steep section down to the stream, which is reached a bit below the dam wall.
Tour: At the beginning hiking canyon, then alternating downclimb and abseil sections. Protection with bolted iron rings. Usually two next to each other. In the lower third, the rings are missing in one place, but there is an ideal giant pebble with a groove on the uphill side for inserting the rope. Most rappel points are designed so that you can either rappel full in the waterfall or next to it.

Auerlingbach: Canyon End
2024-09-20: Mostly only single anchors without rapid links, many downclimbs.
Return: Take the forest road back to the parking lot. Possibly visit the small, newly renovated wooden church on the Gupf above the parking lot. The pilgrimage church of St. Ulrich and the Roman excavations are also worth a visit.

Ancora: Canyon Start
Approach: from the bridge left down to the creek
Tour: Not exactly overwhelming, but as a bathing tour (possibly with children) quite nice; largely lead footsteps along the shore, the abseils you can bypass or climb downSo you can also, if only 1 car is available, the tour in the stream there and back.

Ancora: Canyon End
Return: After the last and attractive double step with the large pool, a slope goes up to the left, meets a sandy slope at the top, which we follow to the right. Later this is paved and moves up the mountain. Beyond the crest it goes slightly downhill again. Later it branches and we follow the right paved branch down to Pincho to the car.

Ancora: Parking at Entry
Access: From Braga, take the A 3 north towards Valenca and the Spanish border. After about 40 km, change to the A 27 freeway in the (western) direction of Viana do Castelo. After another 15 km, take exit 2 ('Lanheses,Mexeido') and drive north on the N 305 to reach Amonde after 8 winding kilometers and a few hundred meters further the houses of Pincho. Leave your car at the bar or in the open space below for the exit, and take the other car back the way you came, for about 2.5 km, until you reach a prominent crossroads in the forest. Turn left onto the EM 526 and after another 3.5 km you will arrive in Montaria. Go through the village keeping to the right and turn left at a bend to the right ('Viveiro Forestal do Portodeira'). The road, which is no longer paved at the exit, descends in a northerly direction to a picnic area by the bridge (entry).

Approach: We overcome the barrier and follow the dirt road in a southwesterly direction. After 210 m it turns to the north, we ignore the turnoff straight ahead. After another 300 m we are at the Ribeira do Ferreiro below a waterfall. On the left bank we go down the stream for about 50 m, then we enter the stream (if necessary with a jump after prior testing).
Tour: After only 5 minutes we come to the first rappel (R1 - 45m). Now, interrupted by short walking passages, one rappel follows the other: R2 - 24m; R3 - 10m; R4 - 17m. A longer passage follows, where the stream course is covered with large boulders. \nThen we are above the big vertical - almost 110m. After the entry rappel R5 - 20m, 3 switchbacks follow, each set back a bit (danger of falling rocks) to the left: R6 - 45m; R7 - 10m; R8 - 40m. Then you swim in the large pool, which is also fed by a left side stream. In case of larger water flow, there may be difficulties here (a5). We climb the stone wall above the big pool and find a final sloping rope there: R9 - 40m.\n

Return: At the bottom we follow the stream to the lake Lagoa das Patas, on which we have been looking down for a long time. We swim to the left in a southeasterly direction and after about 120m we reach the far shore at the trees. The lake is quite weedy and so one should not be surprised about a corresponding "hanging" at the exit. Finally, we follow the path that leads from the lake down to the road and the parking lot.

Access: From Fajâ Grande on the west side of the island we drive in the direction of Fajâzinha or Santa Cruz Das Flores. After about 3 km (from the center of Fajâ Grande) we cross the Ribeira do Ferreiro. After the bridge on the right we park the car for the exit. \With the second car we continue in the direction of Santa Cruz, after 300 m we cross the Ribeira Grande and after another 3.9 km we meet the ER 1-2. Now we continue to the left in the direction of Santa Cruz. After a little more than 2 km on the ER 1-2, we turn left from this road onto a dirt road. About 250 m further on, a dirt road goes left at a sharp angle through the bushes. Here we park our second car.

Approach: On the north side of the road bridge, brick stairs lead us into the streambed.
Tour: After a short path in the streambed we come to the 1st rappel (35m). A little later, a handrail leads us to the big wall. First 43m, then we head for the lava tunnel (13m). Rappels of 48m, 38m and 82m follow. Then another diagonal abseil (16m - hourglass) or downclimb. Once at the foot of the wall, there are first about 400-500m of blocked streambed, then a rappel of about 15m. This is followed by another 250-300m of block climbing. About 50m before the next step to the rappel (rappel height approx. 25m), we leave the streambed to the right. You could also descend further to the bridge of the N1 (see topoguide 'Le Paradis du Canyoning' by Pascal Colas, 1995) - another 90m drop - but even P. Colas recommends the exit described above.

Return: The beginning of the inconspicuous track is marked with a cairn. It climbs steeply and we reach the road. Keeping to the right, we come back to the bridge at the entry.

Maliens: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue up the slope to the left. At the second leftward haipin bend at elevation 1975 m a.s.l., we follow the signpost to the "Glacier Mills" in the direction of ONO. We approach the streambed and at altitude 2120 the trail reaches the streambed. From here you can still walk up the stream to the head of the valley and there about 20 meters of altitude up the meadow slope.
Tour: Especially at the beginning beautifully polished glacial mills. Great scenic. Rich flora. Some slope ropes.\nFor the ascent from Trin to Alp Mora toll is payable (10 CHFr - 2010). Payable in the municipal office - basement, door on the left - knock !)

Maliens: Canyon End
Return: At the stone bridge, go out to the right and follow the indistinct path in a westerly direction, slightly ascending over the Alpe Tegia Sut (1945 m a.s.l.) back to the car.

Balces (superior) II: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the track. At the first hairpin bend, the path to Balcés Oscuros turns off in a southerly direction. However, we stay on the track and follow it to its exit. We continue along the adjoining path and reach the ridge at 1320 m above sea level (approx. 1.25 hours from the car) and the path continues along the ridge, albeit slightly below it on its eastern flank. The path branches off at a cairn (approx. 15 minutes after crossing the ridge). Turn left (westwards) up to the Collado de Balcéd (1371 m above sea level - you can also ascend there from Rodellar), but we go down to the right into the western flank of the Balcés, first eastwards in several serpentines downhill until the path turns northwards at about 1200 m above sea level. It crosses two branches of the Bco. A Lera. After the second branch, the path heads back towards it (in an easterly direction). Now you path down the Bco. A Lera (alternative 1) down to the Rio Isuala. Although there is also a path to the north of La Glera and almost parallel to it (above the lower break in the wall) leading down to the river in an easterly direction (alternative 2), you should only look for and take this if you are sure of your bearings.
Tour: We hike, wade and swim down the river. A tremendous landscape experience. After about 3.5 hours, 2 longer narrow sections, after passing through a chaos of rocks and two short narrow sections (one immediately after the other), you reach a striking flat meadow area (with bushes) to the right of the river. The path that leads to the entry of Balcés Oscuros comes down here.

Balces (superior) II: Canyon End
Return: We can now walk up it and get to the car after about 1 hour or we (if still fit and time available) cross the Balcés Oscuros in 2 hours (then the emergency rope is not enough!) and at the exit pull right up to the car in 30 minutes.

Rentadors: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue along the dirt road and at the exit of the next open area, take the dirt road that branches off to the left uphill to a farmstead. From here, take the footpath in a southerly direction. About 500 m further on, we pass the Ermita de l'Erola and follow the path uphill. After a while, you will see the abandoned monastery of Sant Segimon on the left above the path. A little later we reach a dirt road and shortly afterwards the saddle with the 3 crosses (1225 m above sea level). Here we take the only slightly marked path on the right down to the stream.
Tour: 13 rappel in mostly open terrain.

Rentadors: Canyon End
Return: At the latest, where the track crosses the stream, out to the right and on the track to the hamlet of Can Gat. Continue on the dirt road first in a northerly direction. The track then makes a right turn, crosses a stream and about 500 m after this stream in a northerly direction we meet again our junction at the access. About 600 m further on the slope we come back to the car.

Rentadors: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the French-Spanish border. Coming from the French-Spanish border, about 10 km after passing Girona, we leave the AP-7 and change to the C 25 ('Eix transversal') in the direction of Vic, Lleida. After about 35 km in a westerly direction we turn left onto the G 520 and about 5 km further on we come to Viladrau. We cross the town in the direction of Vic. After the last houses on the right side of the road, the road goes northward into the forest, describes here a 180 degree bend again to the south, and then bends to the west.About 400 m after the last houses of Viladrau, a single house stands here on the right side of the road in a forest clearing. A few meters further on, a dirt road turns off to the left at a sharp angle. It first leads us down to the small river, crosses it and then goes up in a southwesterly direction. A few hundred meters after the left turn and about 2 km from the tarred road we come to a gate. Park the car here.
Return: At the latest, where the track crosses the stream, out to the right and on the track to the hamlet of Can Gat. Continue on the dirt road first in a northerly direction. The track then makes a right turn, crosses a stream and about 500 m after this stream in a northerly direction we meet again our junction at the access. About 600 m further on the slope we come back to the car.

Approach: We now walk along the road for about 15 min. until we reach a wayside shrine, which is fenced with iron bars. At the wayside shrine former parking lot, but now no parking; according to the police also next to the roadway. Here a partially rope-secured path down to the stream. About 400m before reaching the wayside shrine, we see a clear trail off to the right of the guardrail. It is mainly used by commercial operators and shortens the tour by about two thirds (see wikiloc track).
Tour: A lot of small steps for jumping, slides and downclimb. Key point is the C 10, where you have to cross a waterfall curtain.

After 19 km, the east bank road comes from the left (northeast) at the level of the village of Doussard, located slightly south of the N 508. 3.5 km after this junction of the east bank road, we turn left onto the D 42 in the direction of Montmin, Col de la Forclaz. We pass through the village of Vessone, at the end of the village we cross the Montmin and drive in hairpin bends upwards on the D 42. At the 1st left-hand hairpin bend we park our vehicle in the parking lot on the right-hand side of the road (sanitary facilities).

Approach: From the bridge we take the tarred road uphill in a southerly direction for a few meters, but then immediately turn right onto a dirt road that leads uphill on the left past a house at the edge of the forest. We then follow the subsequent footpath over a footbridge (below the mine) in a northerly direction and reach a wide road. Continue uphill on this in switchbacks until we approach the canyon in a southwesterly direction. Where the road (at about 970 m above sea level) describes a bend to the right (on the left below the mast of a power line), a path leads southward steeply down into the streambed.
Tour: Attractive tour (without running trails) that continuously opens views of the wooded valleys. Good to combine with Fontaine Fayard, Montmin or Frontenex.

Approach: We walk back 1200 m on the N-330 in a southerly direction and then take the GR 13.1 hiking trail on the right. This is the old path to the Majada de Gabardito hut (see: ). We come to a forest track and follow it to the pastures of Gabardito. We see the Rifugio de Gabardito, leave the forest track to the right and now follow the path in a northerly direction to reach the streambed (entry). There is an alternative approach on the orographic left side of the canyon. It starts at the bridge and leads up pretty much in the fall line This entry is where the path crosses the canyon. The less attractive upper half of the canyon is omitted on this access. However, you can also continue upwards on this path, later passing the Refugio Forestal de Gabardito and thus also reaching the upper entry, always keeping the western direction.
Tour: Varied and interesting descent. About 20 rappel, some of them over the walls of slide brakes.

Kalbelekarbach: Canyon Start
Comment: Entrée 1: au-dessus de C25 et C15 (1360m alt. environ). (descente)
Approach: The access requires a sense of direction and intuition. First, we climb the slope in a westerly direction and then traverse about 50 m without a path (further west) to a forest road that runs in a north-south direction. Here we walk a few meters northwards and look for the barely recognizable start of the overgrown path, which initially runs in a north-westerly direction towards the Kalbeleskarbach stream and then winds upwards relatively close to the stream. We come to a hunter's stand on the edge of the slope to the stream (2016). A few more meters uphill, then the path at about 1320 m altitude pulls into the steep slope above the stream - here too more to guess than to see clearly.we come to the streambed and can still see two larger waterfalls upstream. The Riml/Amor guide writes: " ... as soon as you cross the Kalbelekarbach, you can get in." That's what we did (starting altitude 1300 m), but subsequently realized that we missed the first two waterfalls in the topographic view in the Riml/Amor book. So you would probably have to follow the path on the other side of the stream further up the slope and then enter the stream at a suitable point above the first two waterfalls. In that case, however, the 1300 m altitude at which the trail starts would no longer apply. According to the Amap online map, a short access from the path into the stream seems possible at about 1410m, possibly even further down, just above the first two waterfalls in the topographic view.
Tour: Alternating rappel, downclimb and short runs. The route time is extrapolated from the 80 min. we needed from our entry altitude at 1300m for an entry above the first two waterfalls.

Kalbelekarbach: Canyon End
Return: We cross the forest track with the streambed and go downhill to the road bridge.

Kalbelekarbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Reutte in the Lech Valley up to the Plansee. From its eastern end (hamlet "Am Plansee") we take the road towards Linderhof Castle, Oberammergau. 3.8 km drive, then we come to the bridge over the Kalbeleskarbach. In front of the bridge on the left there is a bigger free space for the car.\nFrom Oberammergau/Ettal we take the St2060, which branches off from the B23 between these two villages in the direction of Linderhof Castle. After about 9.7 km we pass the turnoff to Linderhof Castle, after another 6.9 km we cross the German/Austrian border. Another 4.3 km and we are at the former Hotel Ammerwald, today BMW conference center. We continue in the direction of Plansee, Reutte. We first cross the gravel bed of the Kuhkarbach and after 850m (from BMW conference center) we reach the bridge over the Kalbeleskarbach. We park the car in the open space on the right after the bridge.
Return: We cross the forest track with the streambed and go downhill to the road bridge.

Morterone: Canyon Start
Approach: We go down the road branching off at an acute angle in a northeasterly direction, passing a sinkhole on the left ("Bus de Carigun") and after 500m we come to a farm. Here we turn down to the right, away from the road, passing a homestead on the left and descending along the edge of the meadow. Passing 2 mountain huts, we enter the forest, descend along the left high bank until a track on the right takes us down into the stream.
Tour: The tour begins after a short river walk with a 26 m - rappel under a rock arch into (after about 10m comfortable intermediate stand). This is followed by a narrowing with small drops, which can be partially jumped.

Morterone: Canyon End
Return: At the picnic area, opposite the watery karst spring on the right slope, exit to the left onto the trail. Follow the path uphill back to the starting point, keeping to the left at each junction.

Morterone: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Lecco on the new road to Valsassina to Ballabio. From the traffic circle in the center on the SP 62 about 1km in the direction of Lecco and then turn left on the SP 63. In many serpentines and curves we drive along the edge of the Val Boazzo 12.5 km up to Olino and from here another 3 km to Morterone. Park the car about 100m in front of the church.
Return: At the picnic area, opposite the watery karst spring on the right slope, exit to the left onto the trail. Follow the path uphill back to the starting point, keeping to the left at each junction.

Approach: At the power house after the bridge you can already see the hiking mark 641 (Attention: in the Tabacco map the hiking trail is already marked before the bridge. But this is wrong!) Immediately after the power house you follow the access road up to the 1st house. The path goes between the houses until you reach asphalt again. Here turn right in the direction of the electricity pylons, where there is again a trail marker 641. From here, follow path 641 until you reach the wooden bridge that crosses the Rio Malimberg. Attention, just after the bridge an inconspicuous steep path goes up on the left. With a quick gain in altitude (on the orographic left side of the gorge) you will soon be at the entry, at 690Hm.
Tour: The Rio Malimberg inferiore is a beautiful, short, technically not too difficult tour, which definitely has a lot to offer. Due to the characteristics, the canyon is also suitable for beginners, but also has enough potential for experienced canyoneers. Most of the rappels are easy to see and the pools are not deep. Some rappels are in the watercourse and provide refreshment. The canyon is very continuous from start to exit, with only short walking passages. At the wooden bridge you have the possibility to get off on path 641. However, the further descent pays off in any case (disturbing here is only a water drainage, which suddenly disappears in the field).

Access: From Hotel Carnia take the SS13 in the direction of Tarvisio. At the exit of Chiusaforte turn right towards "Sella Nevea"/Raccolana. Follow this road straight on, go through the avalanche gallery and continue straight on. About 4 km after the avalanche gallery you will reach the village of "Saletto". Here you turn left (over the bridge) towards "Chiout Cali". At the entrance of the village you cross "Rio Malimberg". Immediately after the bridge park on the right (next to the power house).
Return: At approx. 570Hm before the road bridge, get off on the right to the parking lot/power house.

Approach: Continue 1.3 km on a dirt road to its exit. Next to the bridge we climb into the streambed.
Tour: Descent in alleys of granite with various possible jumps. At the first higher rappel (C20), a powerful shower can not be avoided. More attractive rappels follow until the canyon opens up. In the lower, more open part there are also a few rappels. Then some tedious block climbing to the bridge (approx. 30 min). There appears to be an emergency exit to the left after the narrowest part (area after a solid iron rail wrapped around a boulder).

Approach: Left (west) past the church through a gate (please close again!) about 100 m on the slope in a northwesterly direction, then the slope makes a sharp right turn and moves in a northeasterly direction down to the edge of the Niederwald. Here - contrary to what is described and sketched in the book with the informative map section of Ayasse/Dubreuil - continue on the forest road. Past a car wreck on the left below the path, past 2 access roads; along a wire fence you come after about 300 m (from the car wreck) out of the coppice again onto a clearing. 50 m before(!) the clearing you will find a cairn on the left side of the trail and next to it a tree with 'LC' carved into its trunk (longeant canyon - leading to the canyon). Take the path down to the creek.
Tour: In the streambed about 20 min/500m. to the place where the actual entry begins with a C3. After passing the narrows, we are above the C65. On the right in the chute would actually be after about 45m (then 2x50m rope would be enough) a changeover, but you should take precautionary setting gear if you want to use it. The canyon now becomes successively more open and offers some nice rappels. Where the Ruisseau de l'Umbertacciu enters from the right, the descent ends.\n

Return: The path used to descend further to the foot of the opposite slope, where the stream bends to the SW. A pleasant slope then led up to the road on the other side. Here, however, trouble was inevitable because the landowner became extremely unpleasant if you got caught. I was able to avoid this - 2x smily - on my exits (2006 and 2009), but I was lucky. As a result, I was advised to walk down the stream to the bridge of the D81 - 2 hours exit ! However, there is now an exit up to the D81 that does not involve any trouble with the landowner - see "Canyoning nel Mediterraneo" (p. 112). To do this, climb up the Umbertacciu, which joins from the right, for about 20m and look left on the slope for the start of a path that takes you up to the car on the D81 .

Approach: Follow the road uphill, passing under the church. Turn right at the crossroads with the bar and keep left at the end of the village, following the mule track uphill. Stay on this path, cross a few dirt tracks and a tarred road (always check the further course of the path carefully!) and finally come to a flat plateau. Here you follow the track along a wall on the left, past a house, and then take the next path on the left down to the river. Follow the water until you reach the first small waterfall.
Tour: 5 rappels alternate with runs and downclimbs. See photos and video

Approach: From Orasso (700 m a.s.l.) take the footpath in the direction of Bugnago. Contrary to van Duin's description of the ascent, do not cross the right side stream of the Rio Orasso, but after about 15 minutes turn right at a fork onto a path that continues horizontally. What is striking about the fork is that all the signs are oriented to the main path, but none to the path going straight ahead, which we now follow. It leads us to a stone storehouse and seems to end here. Passing by the west side of the house, it continues in an inconspicuous form and crosses the orographic right slope of the Orasso, sloping slightly. Then it begins to descend, a "bad step" is provisionally secured with wire rope. We reach a streambed where the path beyond leads back up to a stone house. However, we follow the tracks that lead downhill to the right before the streambed, then cross the possibly dry streambed to continue steeply down into the riverbed of the Rio Orasso.
Tour: At the beginning attractive 25 m rappel into a cauldron, then again and again smaller bottlenecks; emergency exit almost always possible. Duin probably repeats in his book an approach description from a [[http://freeweb.supereva.com/euforione/Rio di Orasso/rio di orasso.htm] website that can no longer be accessed today. Since on the access description there is noted, it would probably not be optimal, we have searched for a better access - and found.

Approach: From the parked car on the path further upstream, keeping right through the estate of a "collector" and on a bridge over the stream. Here you can easily see the last part of the descent. After the bridge, go up on the tarred road. This crosses the Val Grande again. Where you reach some houses you go up on a mule track under chestnut trees on the right towards Salvabella - at the same time apparently a kind of Calvary path. At a prominent bend to the left, a path branches off to the right under the trees. But leave it after a few meters to the right and on unclear tracks steeply down to the stream (entry). Description if you park at the barrier: From the barrier approx. 50m to the first small stone bridge (water level check!) --> then along the road over iron bridge with wooden beams up to right small stone house with hiking mark --> past behind the house over small wooden bridge --> past small chapel --> further up again small wooden bridge and house with stables --> up again. Wooden bridge and house with stable --> now it's only a few meters until a trail mark on the rock and right. a tree with a hole in the middle show the way to the streambed (450Hm) --> after a short distance descend via rope traverse into the streambed.
Tour: After the entry come 3 small pools with short slides --> 20m rappel left or 7m rappel and 8m jump (!) --> very nice 30m rappel in large pools --> from here the canyon is somewhat narrower --> there are several rappels that are always well visible by fixed ropes or in more water alternatives open --> who high jumps in deep pools comes in this canyon at his expense --> at the end you come back to the stone bridge where another beautiful 20m rappel with a 5m slide crowns the conclusion.

Access: Coming from Locarno, turn into the Maggia Valley at Ponte Brola. After about 4.5 km, cross the stream coming from Val Grande and, immediately after the bridge, turn right onto a dirt road. This is followed to its exit, the last meters across an agricultural estate. Now on the side of the road above the stream park car. An alternative access is via the tarred road that leaves to the right before the bridge. Park here in front of the barrier in a suitable place.

Approach: If you only want to walk the lower part of the canyon, follow the forest road from the parking lot into the valley, cross the mostly dry streambed and climb another 50 m until the forest road meets the stream again at a dam with a water drain. If you want to walk the entire canyon, continue up the forest road, which becomes increasingly steeper and overgrown. After about 15 minutes you come to a crossing path which you follow back into the canyon to the left. Entry here. It is probably also possible to take a second car to the upper bridge over the Jereka and enter there, or to cross from the leftward haipin bend below the cluster of houses of Podjelje over alpine meadows into the canyon.
Tour: Many slides and low rappels up to max. 15m in a gorge that is wonderfully washed out in sections. Narrow sections alternate with walking passages. Due to many emergency exits and little water flow, it is also doable in bad weather. A rewarding gorge (not only) for beginners. For protection - moderate in the upper part, excellent in the lower part.

Approach: We walk up the forest road, after 900 m another slope joins from the right. 600 m further on, we ignore a forest road that branches off to the left here. Our forest road now describes a long right-hand bend. Another 900 m further on, the sloping forest road makes a sharp left turn (at a right angle). Here, from the slope in a southerly direction in or next to a small streambed (dry - labeled "torrentera" in Salamero, map sketch p. 290), you can access the Fornocal via a short route exactly where it bends from an east-west direction at a right angle to the south, cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2807615 . Follow the path to a dry streambed, where the clear path leads upwards to the right to the Cueva de Muriecho, a cave niche with rock paintings (worthwhile 5-minute detour). Continue the descent on climbing tracks through the partly thorny dry bed until you reach the Fornocal with three abseils (10m, 5m, 8m). To get to the usual access, continue along the slope and after another 250 m you will come to an inconspicuous dry streambed, which you follow to the streambed of the Fornocal, cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=130094
Tour: First we walk along the largely flat streambed for quite some time until we reach the first rappel under the large boulder. From here, we start a varied tour with narrow sections, clamping blocks, small rappels, a grotto, a spring, sinter overhangs and a natural arch, to list just a few of the interesting moments. Towards the exit, longer sections await us until the bridge arch becomes visible high above us.

Access: From Barbastro in the direction of Alquézar. After about 20 km on the newly extended A 1232, turn right at the junction before the Rio Vero bridge (old arched bridge on the righthand side - beyond the Rio Vero camping bridge) and continue on the A 2205 via Colungo in the direction of Arcusa, Ainsa. The road now winds its way northwards. Cross the Bco Palomeras Fornocal (8.1 km from Rio Vero bridge) and a few hundred meters further on you will reach the Puente de las Gargantas over the Rio Fornocal. Here we can park our first car on the left before the bridge. With the second, we continue along the many bends.

Caramella: Canyon Start
Approach: From the southern end of the parking lot, we take the path - at times walking on a slope - up to the striking saddle (800 m above sea level). From the saddle, the path leads us mainly horizontally along the slope to the south. Now we cross the wide basin of the Barranc de la Vall. We walk towards a dark rock face. There you will find the Font spring (960 m above sea level). Around the foot of the rock face we climb up again to the next ridge coming down from Monte Caro (980 m a.s.l.). Down the other side and we are at the entry to the Caramella. The access from below is shown below:\n * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2522815 (access from below)
Tour: 24 rappels, first downclimbing over grassy slopes, rappels from trees if necessary. Towards the exit, the "Cua de Cavall" awaits us in the "Gran Circ" with a height of around 80m. There is a transfer point roughly in the middle. However, the rope retrival can cause problems here. This steep drop can be bypassed to the right or left. It is also possible to turn right on the ledge to the neighboring Racó de la Gralla (path) and "take" the attractive final passage there (below the 400m walk and climb).

Caramella: Canyon End
Return: We walk on the slope out of the valley, pass Casa de Cavallo and are soon at the parking lot with our "lower" car.

Return: The exit is about 100 m before the canal with plenty of water crosses the Vallon de Duranus. From the canal, a path leads up the orographic left flank to the D 19, which you follow to the left for 900 m to the car. You could also follow the path down to the D 2565, but it is not advisable to move vehicles, as parking on the D 2565 is extremely limited in the narrow canyon here and there is also a risk that the parked car will be broken into by the time you return. The Vallon de Duranus can be combined with the neighboring Vallon de L'Imberguet due to the short time required.

Lawoi: Canyon Start
Approach: Otherwise we start here the access to the Ringelspitzhütte (http://www.ringelspitz.ch/zugangsommer.php), 641 meters altitude difference in about 1h 45 min. At the Ringelspitzhütte you can also spend the night (http://www.ringelspitz.ch/).\n\from the Ringelspitzhütte we go towards Sandböden, Ringelspitze/Piz Barghis. At a fork in the path at an altitude of about 1960m we turn left, cross the Lawoibach and climb via Vorderen and Mittleren Augstberg to Hinteren Bäch. At about 2370m the path crosses again to the orographic left side of the brook. A little above we climb in.
Tour: From the beginning we move in narrow chutes. After a run comes a part that begins with several rock arches and ends with a more vertical area - 4 rappel in a narrow chute, mostly in the beam. \nIn the following parts only rarely smaller rappel, but a lot of clamping work, sometimes also crawling under boulders through and in or through holes. Finally the exit at the path that crosses above a slide brake and leads to the left to the Ringelspitzhütte. But you can also clamp here still further and then later traverse pathless to the NE to the Ringelspitzhütte.

Anguillaia: Canyon Start
Comment: C WIKI und E1 (variante longue) (descente)
Approach: 1st option (the above altitude and time data refer to this option): We climb up the Fosso del Fatonero. Some passages are equipped with fixed ropes. Almost at the exit of the high valley, we keep right uphill, join the hiking trail at the top that comes up from Arni (P2) and walk through the Foce/Passo Contapecore (1472m altitude). On the other side, walk slightly downhill along the wide basin below Monte Sumbra (1765 m altitude) and enter the Fosso Anguillaia at about 1100 m altitude at the mouth of a dry stream coming down from the left. 2nd option: As in the first option, ascend the Fosso Fatonero, but at the first widening of the canyon (at about 870m altitude) turn right (orographic left) up the steep slope to a shoulder (1030m altitude) from here we keep descending towards the point where this right side cirque of the Fosso Anguillaia joins the latter. A little below we then climb in (850m altitude), using the ropes if necessary. 3rd option: access on the hiking trail from Arni. This access has the advantage of a comfortable path and a higher starting point (930m altitude). This also shortens the time to the upper entry. On the other hand, you miss the marble pots in the Fosso Fatonero. We park the car in the large parking lot to the north of the hamlet of Arni (P2). The hiking trail also begins at the southern exit. First head to the Focetta shoulder (1110 m altitude), then up to Malpasso (1445 m altitude). Now cross the basin at the head of the Fatonero valley in the "Bosco" (forest) of the same name. Then you come to Foce Contapecore (1472m altitude) and from here follow the access path under 1.
Tour: 17 rappels, lots of downclimbing.

Anguillaia: Canyon End
Return: Down the path to Turrite Secco, across to the road and right to the car.

Taulanne: Canyon Start
Approach: Get in directly under the rock breakthrough of the road (painted on the left on the rock "CANYONING INTERDIT" - now quite faded). But it is still forbidden!
Tour: Attractive canyon: sunlit, as it faces south-north; one rumbly slide and 2-3 possible jumps (watch out pools look deeper than they are), nice ambiance (deep green pools; entire watercourse sintered).

Taulanne: Canyon End
Return: After the last waterfall (the next one after the highest rappel - C 25), follow the streambed to the left for a long time without a path, then finally descend to the right on a dirt road to the car at the bridge. There is also the possibility of climbing up to the right towards the campsite relatively soon after leaving the stream, but this ascent track is not easy to recognize as such (then of course the lower vehicle would also have to be parked there).

Pillbach: Canyon Start
Approach: On the dirt road to bridge over the Pillbach, on the left bank about 100 m downhill to the slide brake - entry.
Tour: After the optional first rappel on the boulder brake, we alternate between running sections, pools, places to downclimb and rappels again. After about 1.5 hours we come to a wooden bridge on iron girders. This is where the more attractive vertical final section begins. Caution: In the upper reaches, there is a water drainage with a small reservoir.

Pillbach: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel, go out to the right on a path and later go down to the car on a forest path.

Pillbach: Parking at Entry
Access: Leave the Inntal freeway A 12 (Kustein - Innsbruck) at the exit Vomp and follow the L 389 southeastwards across the Inn to Pill. Across the federal road 171 on the Schloßbichl in the direction of Pillberg. In the first left-hand bend we drive straight on along the orographic right bank of the Pillbach up to the garbage collection point. There park the lower car at a suitable place.\n With the second car back on the Schloßbichel and right up the L 53 in the direction of Pillberg. After 1 km the road makes a rightward haipin bend, after another 800 m we turn right again onto Pillbergstraße. Another 500 m further on we turn right onto Steinwandweg in the direction of Müllau. About 1 km after this turn we come to a meadow enclosed by woods. Here, where a field path branches off to the right at a sharp angle, we park the second car.
Return: After the last rappel, go out to the right on a path and later go down to the car on a forest path.

Valbona: Canyon Start
Approach: Directly at the lower parking lot a path climbs steeply up to a village with a church. After the church, at the exit of the canyon, turn sharp right up the forest road (always keeping left) until you reach a no-driving sign (approx. 5km). Park the 2nd car here and follow the path down into the streambed. With a 2nd car, the access time is reduced to 10 min.
Tour: The tour starts with an 8m jump and becomes increasingly narrower and more incised. Strong water flow. Accurate jumps required! Hooks often consist of only one 8mm anchor. In the middle part follows a 20 min. walking passages in open terrain until the canyon cuts in again. The high waterfall at the exit can be avoided or rappel 10m into the pool to find an anchor at the edge on the left, which is not visible from above. Caution: when the water is strong, there is a danger of being washed over the edge. From here it goes down a good 35m!

Kramarsca: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the road along the river. You will get to the part where the road is broken (big hole) and then to Idrijske klavže (old dam). There you enter the lower part of the path. It is also possible to walk along the path at the bend in the river and go through the upper part of the canyon, but in July 2014 there was too much wood everywhere.
Tour: Beautiful jump immediately below Klavž. Then walk 1km to the turn and then into the canyons. Short rappel into the hole and immediately after a 3m jump. After the rappel into the waterfall and beautiful 6m slide (makes a bend left). Then 2 rappel into the waterfall and a few jumps, but generally a lot of walking.

Access: We leave the AP-7 - Autopista del Mediteráneo, Tarragona to Valencia - shortly before reaching the Ebro and take the C-12 northwards to Tortosa (not quite 20 km to the town center). Once in the town, continue north on the C-12 towards Lleida. About 3 km after the town of Xerta (and 14.5 km after Tortosa town center), turn left onto the N-230b towards Gandesa. After another 7.2 km, turn left again onto the T-333 towards Valderrobres. Not quite 14 km after the last junction, we come to a T-junction where the T-334 turns off to the right in a northerly direction towards Horta de Sant Joan. However, we continue on the T-333 for another 270 m before turning left onto the road heading south towards the mountains. But just 270 m further on, we turn left onto a dirt road towards El Ventador, signposted "Salt de Sotorres et El Ventador". The track leads into the valley of the Riu de Canaleta and up the slope on the other side. 2.2 km after the bridge (and 4.1 km from T-333) - we ignore two dirt tracks on the left - we first come to the ford through the Cubars and a few meters after that to a larger estate. Here we can look down into a large basin with a waterfall and mill under the rock face. We park our car. Cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=7896376

Access: From Bagnères-de-Luchon we first take the D125, then later the D46 towards Superbagnères. Where the road starts to wind up from the Lys valley to the right, we stay in the valley and take the D46a, passing Bordes du Lys and Bourdales towards the end of the valley (E-Werk du Portillon). Before the road crosses the Lys to the eastern bank, we park our car in a hiking parking lot to the left of the road.
Return: Left out onto the approach path and down to the car.

Karlestal: Canyon Start
2024-07-18: Scenic and beautiful canyon with nice rappels and some smaller slides. All hacks are fine so far. The access is sometimes really difficult to find. At an altitude of about 1450m there is a marking wit...
Approach: Now we walk down to the Hornbach, cross it and then walk on the orographic. right side of the Hornbach upstream in the direction of Petersbergalpe. Soon we cross a wide gravel bed that flows down from the Karlestal. Approx. 200 meters after the gravel bed, we turn left onto a forest path which after a short time turns into a hardly recognizable path to the Bretterkar huts. We follow this path up to an altitude of about 1450 meters and then cross into the streambed.

Lerca: Canyon Start
2025-05-04: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Lerca Cold Wind and No sun but still fun (Quelle:
Approach: From the fountain, a track leads up to the right, which after a few hairpin bends then runs halfway up the orographic left bank of the Lerca. After 30 minutes you come to a junction where you take the mule track on the left. At the exit of a pine forest in a left-hand bend, where a mostly dry stream crosses the path, we continue for a few more meters. We come to a small wood; here a blue dot with a white background on a tree to the left marks the point where the tracks lead steeply down into the streambed of the Lerca (approx. 50 min. in total). The alternative access is via a path branching off to the right from the parking lot, which climbs steeply at first and then gradually becomes flatter. The path, which initially runs high above the Rio Lerca, comes closer and closer to the riverbed after a while, and soon you can descend a few meters into the streambed of the Lerca at a side stream (approx. 60 min. in total). The alternative access is scenic, but requires a strenuous ascent at the exit of the canyon (20 min.).
Tour: Starts immediately with a jump (6-8m), then walking passages, smaller rappels, possible jumps again and again. Escape option in the middle of the gorge to the right at a large pool (Lago du Mei). The key point is a 7m rappel in the water at a short gorge with a clamping block above.

Return: About 10 minutes after the last abseil point, you pass a small dam wall, where a path leads to the left. Alternatively, you can also descend the stream for another 10 minutes, past some pools that are very busy in summer. A path crosses the streambed here. Here you can either turn left uphill via the hamlet of Valconara to the parking lot in Case Soprane or - as an alternative - turn right uphill to the car.

Access: A-10 from Voltri (Genoa), exit Arenzano; take the SS-1 west towards Cogoleto, Varazze. The road reaches the sea after approx. 500 m and turns right over a bridge (Rio Leone). Immediately after the bridge, turn right and drive through an industrial estate. Not quite 1.5 km after leaving the SS-1, follow the road branching off to the right towards Case Soprane. Park the car at the exit of the hamlet near a fountain with a tap. For an alternative access from the orographic right-hand side, leave the road branching off to Case Soprane on the right and drive up to Lerca. At the beginning of the village, take a sharp right and head straight on up to the campsite. Below the campsite, turn right, past a chapel and a ruin (left). You can park your car on the left at a water cistern on the right (approx. 1 km from Lerca).

Return: Turn left onto the path that first leads downhill along the stream. At the slide brake it then leads up to the left and we come back to the "Welscher Weg" coming from Leithen. On this left, at a junction further keeping horizontally left, we come back to the car at the provincial hospital Hochzirl.

Comment: D2 depart au-dessous de la barrage (descente) // start Beschreibung
Approach: We take the "Welscher Weg" in the direction of Leithen in a northwesterly direction, but already after 100m we turn right uphill onto a forest road that was destroyed by a landslide a few hundred meters further on in 2014. The path leads moderately uphill until it suddenly bends to the NE at 1150m above sea level. Further uphill, at 1240m a.s.l., we see a small mule track turn off to the left. We follow it. It leads continuously slightly downhill, we pass a wooden footbridge and a hunter's stand on the left, then it goes down more steeply, partly in serpentines, until we reach the streambed.\nOur path deviates from the access description in the book by Riml/Amor. The latter leads to an entry above the dam wall, which we can see from our entry point about 100 meters further up the trail. If you feel like it, you can follow a path to the streambed above the dam in about 10 minutes.
Tour: Immediately after the start, the stream gorges. Alternating running routes, rappel and downclimb. Again and again deadwood obstacles in the stream. In the meantime, the canyon becomes a bit more open. Where the Ursprungbach ripples down from the right, the tour comes to an exit.

Grieskarbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: As for the Gnaupenloch: Coming from Innsbruck, we leave the A 12 at Zirl onto the B 177 in the direction of Seefeld, Garmisch (D). After about 2 km we also leave the B 177 via the exit Zirl-West. In this area the Hochzirler Straße begins, which we follow uphill past the Hochzirl train station to the Hochzirl regional hospital (3 km from B 177). Here, as far up as possible (1000m above sea level), park the car on the left side of the road.
Return: Turn left onto the path that first leads downhill along the stream. At the slide brake it then leads up to the left and we come back to the "Welscher Weg" coming from Leithen.

2024-08-04: Abseil stands all in order. Slides all went well. Water nice and clear
Comment: Brücke
Approach: From the parking lot, cross the bridge and then follow the path to the right. At the slide brake or shortly after at the small bridge the water level can be checked. Then continue uphill first on the hiking trail, then on the forest road until it crosses the Strindenbach stream at a bridge.
Tour: The first third to the A27 relatively open with small slides or possible jumps in rather shallow! pools. The canyon then becomes more incised and offers after the 27m rappel still very nice steps with mainly flat pools. At high water levels can be used at a critical point in the last third redirectors for rope traverses to avoid the water. The anchors are drilled here quite high and may be more difficult to reach from below.

Approach: We hike through the hamlet of Chazeaux and follow the track that descends and crosses a side stream of the Berriève at the edge of the forest. We follow the tracks downhill on the right bank of the side stream, later we come across a slightly wider track and follow it until we see the Berriève and can descend to the streambed. From the camper site approach according to Wikiloc link.
Tour: Well-frequented canyon with two quite different parts (first small-scale gorge, later rappel canyon) connected by a relatively long passage, where at times you walk on paths on the edge of the stream. An existing contamination is recognizable by the smell. Some jumps and a slide possible at the exit of the tour.

Approach: From the parking lot and the large tree, a small road leads downhill in a southeasterly direction (to the cemetery - cimitero). Before the bridge over the stream, take the path down to the right, then cross the stream to the left and after this stone bridge, at a suitable point, descend to the right into the streambed of the Rio Selvano. Alternatively, you can drive down the small road and park your car at the cemetery. Also from here then in a southwesterly direction to the streambed.
Tour: Forest canyon, which gains in quality as it progresses. See also photos and video.

From here, head north up the Fiume Serchio valley on the SP 20 to Borgo (a good 21 km) and then continue along the orographic right bank for another 9 km until a road turns off to the WSW towards Fábbriche di Vállico. We follow the road - SP 37 - along the dammed Turrite Cava through some tunnels and after a good 5 km we come to a bridge that leads over the river to the right to some dilapidated houses (Molini) (a few meters further on the main road you can see a campsite on the right - at the bottom - of the river). At the bridge there is enough space for the first vehicle. Continue with the second until you reach the first houses of Fábbriche (7.5 km from the junction) and turn right at an acute angle uphill to Vállico di Sotto (another 3 km). Here we can park our second vehicle in the square at the entrance to the village.

Salto del Roldan: Canyon Start
Approach: From the saddle on well-trodden tracks eastward, past a spring, down to the river .
Tour: In the river or on its banks down to the 1st step (2m). Fun chutes for children, a rock window at the top left. Above us the vultures are circling.

Salto del Roldan: Canyon End
Return: I have gone the tour described here in 1991, but I do not remember exactly whether the exit is before the Palomeras Flumen before or after the 3m waterfall (which we jumped in each case). According to the description in "Cañones, gargantas y barrancos del Alto Aragón. Del Monte Perdido a la Sierra de Guara - Los 50 mejores descensos . Fernando Biarge - Jean Paul Pontroué, 1986", page 84, I tend to assume the exit immediately before the narrowing into a chute with a cross section of about 40 cm. In the book it is to be read in addition: "... trepar por uno muro de unos cinco metros de altura y un segundo grado de dificultad", freely translated: ... climb a wall of about 5 meters high in the 2nd degree of difficulty.\nIm recommend, for safety's sake, to leave a rope hanging on the 2.5 m - step above for the possibly necessary return.\nAnyway, I would not get off here today, but hike the descent back again. On the one hand, because the path at the foot of the cliff is hardly findable anymore, if it still exists at all - in 1991 the vegetation here had burned down shortly before and thus the "path" around the cliff was without problems (neither macchia, nor orientation problems); on the other hand - and I say this especially with regard to children who might be along - it's a bit difficult to find the way back. with the party - the exit directly under the south-facing rock face is mercilessly hot in summer, while a return, which is initially in the stream, but variety and cooling are offered here.

Anisclo med.: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, a footpath leads down to the San Urbez bridge, where you can take a look at the lower parts of the Rio Bellos. Then it goes into the Anisclo Canyon and up to a point indicated on signposts as "La Ripareta". Here the Barranco Pardina comes down from the orographic right side. From here you path into the river.
Tour: Up to 30 rappel. Pretty much at the beginning the river notches abruptly about 20 m deep and we come through under a massive natural arch. Then running sections alternate with rappels and swimming sections. Due to the north-south orientation of the canyon, the pools show a true blaze of color in the sunlight. Possible jumps again and again. As the tour progresses, the walks get longer and the drops less. Then you also meet hikers and bathers.

Approach: From the car, we descend into the wadi, cross the stream and reach just before the houses of Umq Bir. Along a water channel to the left of a dry streambed up to huge boulders, across the streambed (before it breaks off) and downstream on the other side through banana groves until you reach the course of the stream in the area of huge, white-scoured pools.
Tour: From here we walk down the right side of the wadi to the first rappel (15 m), which is soon followed by the second (5 m). About 2.5 hours - walk and swim - later, the cave awaits us with another rappel (15 m, stand slightly to the right, offset downwards - alternatively 40 m rappel over the edge directly into the pool below the cave). Here we find the highlights of the tour. There are several hot springs to the left and right of the cave. Afterwards, long swimming sections with block climbing and jumps in between.

Comment: P1 für Zustieg. Falls der letzte Streckenabschnitt in problematischem Zustand ist, das Auto schon kurz nach der Ortschaft Al Wilja abstellen.
Access: From Muscat about 160 km on the highway "17" in the direction of Sur (south). At the Tiwi exit - a few hundred meters before we have crossed the Wadi Shab - we leave the freeway, drive into the village of Tiwi and turn right onto the main road to the wadi of the same name (1.5 km from the freeway). A few meters before reaching the dam built through the wadi, we turn right and drive upstream on the orographic left bank of the Wadi Tiwi in a south-westerly direction. We first drive down by the river, later steeply up the road on the left, cross the river again and then reach the exit on the orographic left slope in the village of Mibam (9.5 km from Tiwi). The road is very narrow for long stretches, and it is not pleasant to avoid oncoming traffic here. We park our car for the return journey before the village of Milbam. Total transfer distance 79 km. We take the second car back to Tiwi, turn right over the dam and back onto the highway. After 17.5 km we leave the highway, drive around the scattered settlement of Qalhat - initially along the sea - and then under the highway again at the edge of a wadi. The route now climbs uphill to a junction where you keep right towards Hallout (signpost). 21 km after passing under the highway, we pass the junction to the settlement of Hallout, 1 km away. After another 18.7 km we reach the riverbed of the Wadi Tiwi. Immediately after the ford, we turn right and after a few meters we reach the village of Al Wilja. We continue on and cross the wadi again to the right just a little later. The road now winds roughly parallel to the wadi through the mountains, crosses the bed of the Wadi Tiwi again 4.7 km after Al Wilja and exits after another 3.6 km. Here we park the 2nd vehicle (transfer distance 79 km in total). The road is narrow, steep, stony and only concreted in the hairpin bends over the last few kilometers. 4x4 car absolutely necessary.
Return: Where the canyon widens, we look for the path on the left-hand slope that will take us through wild bursting terrain to the car in Mibam. The path is marked with silver dots and cairns.

Legnone: Canyon Start
Approach: We take the hiking trail in the direction of Alpe Deluguaggio (can also be approached from the top deck of the parking garage - hiking guide Rother, Lake Como, tour no. 29). We pass the houses of the hamlet of Gorla. At the first house of the hamlet of Zucco (1030m altitude) we then pass to the right uphill (several arrows - do not follow the fresh red-white-red markings on the left).After the fork at the chapel (1520m altitude) we leave the path to the left, cross the stream (Torrente Varroncello - 1520m altitude) and on the opposite slope we first keep left uphill for about 20 more meters of altitude, we reach a path again (1540m altitude), which then descends to the entry to Torrente Valle Legnone (1450m altitude).
Tour: A total of 15 rappel. The descent begins with a 25m rappel. At 1240m, from the left comes the Torrente Varrocello. This doubles the water flow. At a footbridge, get off on the footpath to the left (980m altitude).

Legnone: Canyon End
Return: Following the path, immediately after the houses of Zuco, we return to the ascent path and return to Premana.

Approach: Directly behind the restaurant follow the steep path 502 until you reach a water house with antenna. Here, at the inconspicuous crossing, follow the now flatter path to the right in the direction of "Rif. Alpin". The path becomes partly very exposed (some fixed ropes present) and after some time leads directly to the stream (artificial step). Entry at about 700m.
Tour: Most of the smaller sections can be downclimbed, slid or jumped without any major problems. On the higher steps there are old bolts with slings to make the descent easier. The last and highest step of approx. 35m - Cascata Principe Umberto - is the highlight of the tour and must be rappelled. Stand exposed on the left or right via a tree sling. At this point, the canyon is very beautifully cut and you will often be surprised by onlookers who enter the canyon from below. After that, it's just a hiking canyon to the road bridge.

Comment: Abseilstelle an Haken (50m) in die Schlucht
Approach: We take the hiking trail away from the parking lot in the direction of the Sardona hut. Immediately we cross "our" stream and can thus judge the water flow. We walk about 300m and come to the foot of a meadow with a large boulder at the edge of the path (see ) A few meters after this marked boulder we follow a faint track that serpentines up the meadow. About 60m higher, at the eastern edge of the meadow (see red entry in ), a clearly recognizable path begins, which leads uphill in serpentines through the forest - partly wooden stairs. We follow this until we reach a tree with a sling (currently white Dyneema 5mm rope). Then traverse about 10m via traverese rope into the chute where it now has a ring anchor. From there rappel 50m into the canyon.
Tour: A total of 12-15 rappel. We start with a C8, followed by a C35. After some smaller steps and a passage of walking and descending we come to the narrow and attractive part. After a C19 followed by a C40 and a double step (C36), there are again smaller rappels until the exit of the canyon.

Access: We leave the A12 (Sargans-Chur) via the Bad Ragaz exit, drive through the center of Ragaz up to Pfäfers and into the Val Tamina. Passing the reservoir we reach the village of Vättis. Here we turn right and drive westwards into the Calfeisen valley and towards St. Martin to the Gigerwald reservoir. We drive over the top of the dam. From here on, the route is timed, so that one direction can only be taken in a 20-minute time window at a time. Continue along the southern shore of the lake through several tunnels (not suitable for large and wide vehicles!) to a parking lot at the exit of the road, still on the orographic right side of the Tamina reservoir tributary (1470m altitude). Here we park the car.
Return: Descend on the wide gravel bed and out to the right to the parking lot.

Approach: Follow the asphalt road towards the end of the village. Before you leave the village, take path 752 on the right. Follow the path through the village until it leaves the village downhill. Follow the wide, well-marked path downhill until you reach the stone bridge over the Rio Budrin after about 10 minutes. Take the ortographic left here. Alternatively, you can climb from the parking exit via trail no. 735 from Stupizza to Montefosca (500m, 1.5h)
Tour: Abseiling points are generally well equipped with at least one Inox ring. Initially more of a forest gorge, it develops into a nice canyon with some jumps and slides. At the highest break, first jump 2m into a small pool, then rappel from the left 20m under the rock gate, the rappel stand for the following 35m rappel is on the left behind the edge, an anchor for a traverse rope is directly under the rock gate.

Approach: We walk along the road through the village in a southerly direction. After the last houses, on the righthand side, there are some barns - now also converted to residential use - with mostly circular threshing floors in front of them. There you turn left if you want to "include" the Manatuero in the access. Otherwise, continue straight downhill and reach the valley of the Rio Yesa. Where the path branches, we go right. The path leads through bushes high above the Rio Yesa. It gives us our first glimpses of the descent. Eventually we come to a fork where there is a somewhat uncomfortable access down to the streambed on the left. It is also possible to continue until the bridge that leads to the houses of Yeba.
Tour: After a short approach in the off. Streambed we come to the with 12 m "highest" rappel. Then we stand at the bottom of the gorge, In the further varied course is particularly impressive a passage where the streambed between parallel walls is so sintered that it looks like a road. After the canyon opens, continue a few hundred meters to the place where the waters of the Manatuero flow in from the left.

Approach: From the meadow, which is fenced off from the road, 2 slopes lead off in a northerly direction. We take the lower (eastern) one and follow it, initially in a northerly direction, later more in a north-westerly direction. We ignore the turn-offs to the right and left. On the ridge between the Bco. Cueva Cabrito and Alborceral we meet a track coming from the left, which we follow downhill to the right for about 100 meters. Here a path marked with cairns turns off at a right angle and leads us through undergrowth to the entry (700m above sea level). Access can also be via a left tributary, see Canyonisme - La Sierra de Guara. Randonnées, Randonnées acuatiques. Patrick Gimat, 2005 on p. 164 ff.
Tour: 10 rappels, see photos and video

Comment: wenn man im Rio Isuala abwärts geht und bei der Brücke das 2. Auto abstellt
Access: From the Barbastro - Huesca road (N-240), about 25 km after Barbastro, turn right on the A-1229 towards Abiego, Rodellar. A few hundred meters after Abiego, turn left towards Bierge. In doing so, we cross the Rio Isuala, which we will later go up or down in the Estrechos de Balcés. We take a first cautious estimate of the water level at the bridge. A few meters before reaching the village of Bierge, we first turn right, but then immediately left, towards Rodellar, "Barranco de Mascun". 6.8 km after this intersection, in a prominent left turn, there is a suitable area to park our car.\n\a second vehicle we can park either at the large oak tree at the starting point of an ascent of the Cueva Cabrito (cf. there) or at the bridge over the Rio Izuala on the road from Bierge to Adahuesca. The choice of the alternative depends on the chosen way back (cf. below "Exit").\n
Return: On reaching the Balcés Estrechos (Rio Isuala) either upstream, past the mouth of the Cueva Cabrito and then up the ascent path from the Cueva Cabrito to the parking lot under the tree (2 hours, see there) or down the Estrechos to the bridge on the Bierge - Adahuesca road (3 hours)

Cueva Funes: Canyon Start
Approach: At the hairpin bends, a path continues in a straight line towards the dam wall. The path crosses the Chortales after the dam. At the next fork in the path, turn right and continue uphill until you reach the Barranco Funes stream, which flows down from the top right of the reservoir (approx. 15 min. walk from the parking lot). Turn left along the stream to the edge of the waterfall. You can rappel both the right and the left stream. It is worth doing both.
Tour: The Barranco de Funes is not a canyon, but a sequence of very beautiful open tufa waterfalls following a small reservoir. The views are impressive.

Cueva Funes: Canyon End
Return: After completing the rappelling routes and a short downclimb, you reach the stream of the Barranco Rio Verde-Pito flowing down in the valley (continuation of the Chortal). Follow the stream upstream until there is an orographic opportunity to climb up a few meters on the left and return to the car (approx. 10 min. back); you can also go downstream and join the Rio Verde-Chorreras (see description there).

Vomper Loch: Canyon End
Comment: petite barrage (descente)
Return: At the power station (670 m above sea level), turn right over the ladder and down to the left of the water intake (the gate can be opened from the inside - 2006). From the partly concreted flat area, a path on the left leads up to Gasthof Karwendelrast.

Vomper Loch: Canyon Start
Comment: Départ par toboggan ou rappel (5m) (descente)
Approach: From the Gasthaus Karwendelrast (860 m above sea level) on a forest road approx. 1500 m in a westerly direction until a path (no. 224) branches off to the left to the "Hallangerhaus". Soon you come to the Haag Bründl (Stub Bach). Pass it on the left and continue westwards on the only slightly ascending path above the Vomper Loch. After about 45 minutes you cross the Kühsoachgraben (see video). You pass the game feeding station above the Melans-Alm (1020 m above sea level). About two hours from Karwendelrast, the hunters path turns north into the Zwerchloch, passes the hunting lodge and crosses the stream. It then leads upwards on the west side via the so-called cat ladder. Later, it goes almost all the way down to Vomper Bach and then on a wooden footbridge over the Ödkarbach. Here you can descend to the right above the mouth of the Ödkarbach waterfall into the Vomper Bach, especially if you want to avoid the possibly unpleasant entrance slide. The alternative leads further up steeply in serpentines in the forest and immediately down again under the Triefende Wand into the wide gravel bed under which the Vomper Bach flows - invisible until the entry (1060 m above sea level).
Tour: Due to its abundant water flow, the Vomper Bach is best (and above all safe) to hike in the fall and/or after long dry periods. If in doubt, skip the uppermost (narrow) parts and join the Ödkarbach (see above) However, the first part is the most interesting. The canyon is something for lovers of combined tours with special scenic charm. In Oct. 2006, the water under the slide was about 1.30 m deep at the beginning without any large stones. If necessary, you could lower the first person down here using a rope to check the situation (take a 20m rope with you - but no anchor available - 2006)). Exit options after about a third of the canyon at the footbridge on the left up to the approach path, after about another third on the left up to the Melansalm (difficult to find). Last exit (left) 100 m after the Kühsoachgraben, without a path through the beech forest up to the Anmarschweg. After a good half of the gorge hike, the water is completely diverted, but after just a few hundred meters the streambed fills up again with the amount we were used to before the diversion.

Cerveyrieu: Canyon Start
2025-05-25: The anchor on the big abseil is good. But there are a lot of old bolts in there to.
Approach: Below the bridge relatively close to the high fall into the riverbed.
Tour: Not only the high rappel (possibly in front of spectators) is attractive, but also the short, narrow access with its natural arches, and the owners of the properties via which the exit could be made most comfortably do not like the fact that people walk across their properties to the bridge below the large cascade. At the beginning of May 2008, a police officer said that the descent was forbidden because of nesting birds in the rock face. Easy to connect with the two upper canyons of the Sèran (Thurignin, Pont à Favre) and the nearby Groin.

Teufelsklamm: Canyon Start
2025-06-02: Took the upper entry. Some anchors bounced down (from the high water) but each stand has at least one usable anchor.
2025-05-07: Everything ok! Boarded from the wooden bridge with school class. So far everything passes! Low water level despite the rain!
2024-08-24: After about 12 minutes of access, do not follow the signs to Teufelsklamm, but stay on the forest path. All belays ok
Approach: Follow the sign Teufelsklamm (Devil's Gorge) up the forest road for about 40 minutes in a southeasterly direction until a short and pleasant access to the streambed opens up on the left (1040 m above sea level).\nGood to combine (on one day) with the short Taxabach.
Tour: Largely open, some narrows, some rappel over bedload barriers. The stream is also used commercially, which is why the facilities are optimized (2011).\nGood to combine (in one day) with the short Taxabach.

About 4 km after Waldring - before reaching the Pillersee - the road crosses to the right over the river. Immediately before the bridge on the left a larger parking lot, costs 2€/day (as of 06/18) - park your car here (820 m above sea level). \nAccessible also from Kössen or Bad Reichenhall via Lofer.
Return: After the last two bedload barriers, exit to the left.

Torrente Cunaz: Canyon Start
2025-08-11: Description and photos updated, topographic view new, stand C15 damaged on the right, but still acceptable (see photo). Other stands OK.
2025-08-10: Everything as described here. The first part is super continuous and fun (1,5h), the second is a bit boring, but has some moments and not too long (1h). Watch out for the loose rocks in the 25m (last...
2025-06-04: Im zweiten, offenen Teil könnten einige Anker hinzugefügt werden. Ok Canyon, nichts Besonderes.
Approach: Directly next to the asphalted inn parking lot is a signpost with trail 994, which you follow uphill until you soon cross the road (barrier with driving ban). Here you can also follow the road, but it is shorter to follow trail 994, which always leads briefly over the mountain road. At the large leftward haipin bend with a view of the high rock face, follow the path only as far as the rock with the hiking mark 994. Here, descend to the right via small climbing tracks to the stream.
Tour: The Tortente Cunaz is a beautiful, not too difficult lime canyon with clean water from the mountains or a spring (directly at the entry). The upper part is cut in up to the last 20-25m abseil point and is very beautiful. There are abseiling points here (up to max. 20-25m), some of which can also be jumped or slid (be careful! check the water depth). The canyon is mostly well equipped with chain anchors in the upper part (but there are still old anchors that could be replaced). After the last approx. 20m rappel (it is better to rappel to the left due to rope retrival!), there is a longer walking and rappelling section in the lower, more open part of the canyon. After about 20 minutes, the canyon narrows again. This is followed by three short abseils (the last one is better from the tree sling) and short slides before you leave the canyon on the left before the artificial steps with water hacks.

Return: Just before the artificial steps (water house), exit orographically to the left and follow the access road (the gate can be bypassed on the right). A little further down, turn right over the small bridge and shortly back to the parking lot.

Fontanon Del Tasseit: Canyon Start
Approach: Descend the slope and cross the Torrente Silisia. Climb up to the mouth of the Silisia and our stream and follow an indistinct path along the ridge to a renovated house (Stua) (you can also reach here via a second path that starts about 300m upstream at a leaning piece of corrugated iron). Behind the house, first flat then briefly steep to a serpentine path which you follow to the ruins of Pecolat. Behind the ruins, take a former mule track that leads across and follow this initially without gaining height. Climb up to the right at two junctions, then climb up very steeply and on a barely recognizable path to a flattening in the ridge (ruins of a cable car station). Follow the narrow ridge until it splits again, then branch off to the right onto an indistinct path. Shortly through the bushes, then cross very exposed above a rock face (dangerous when wet). Cross the path ascending over tracks, always with beautiful views of the large Fontanon del Tasseit waterfall (the path is somewhat visible in the forest, ascend on the meadow ribs if in doubt until you can cross to the right again). Descend into a nameless side valley and descend over scree and cut-out mountain pine steps to the streambed. Cross the stream and on the other bank on a very indistinct path up to a watercourse from the right (large cave entrance above on the other bank). Climb very steeply to the right of the side stream over grassy slopes, then keep right (climbing tracks) up to a small forest saddle. Climb another 50m very steeply up to another flattened ridge and descend eastwards at a small beech tree with a carved 'font' into a gorge-like streambed (the only way to cross this streambed). Climb up briefly on the other side and keep just below the rock faces until you reach the start of the tour at a karst spring (Risorgiva del Randonneur).
Tour: First 4 abseils to 30m from trees, then two abseils in narrow gorge from bolts before facing the big waterfall. Abseil sequence: 10m from tree right, 40m from chain left. 75m from chain left (can also be divided into 25m and 50m, hanging position). Then 5 rappels in narrow canyon before the previously crossed side creek with a sloping 80m+ waterfall coming in from the right. After longer walking passages with a few diving pools, nice 25m rappel from the right. Further- walking and downclimb to a 5m rappel followed by a three meter rappel. The canyon ends with a 13m jump (abseilable and repeatable) and a 5m jump into a fairly shallow pool (abseilable on the right).

Approach: From the car we walk past the two farmsteads down to Röllbach (entry - see Röllbach access in photo gallery).
Tour: Varied descent in a small canyon. Red flysch rock. Alternating running sections with some narrows. Up to the water catchment felt more aquatic than A3, then hardly any water and very much wood. Very water-loving drilled in, but due to the low height and the nature of the waterfalls usually no problem. Much can be downclimbed or bypassed. Emergency exit after the first gulched part no longer a problem and regularly possible. Many entanglements are unstable.

Rio Macile (Rio Brussine): Canyon Start
2025-08-24: All correct. the rappel/jump number 5 is too shallow to jump. the rest of the rappels and slides are possible.
2025-08-20: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Brussine Equipement : RAS (Quelle:
2025-07-27: Everything top as always but a bit slippery at the moment. First jump and slide possible without any problems. All pools are deep enough.
Approach: After the bends, a path starts on the right which is marked with a wooden sign "Rio Macile" including canyoning markings. The path first leads slightly downhill parallel to path 638 -> you cross a streambed and then it goes slightly uphill again over the ridge before you then go slightly downhill (insured downhill with barrier tapes) (approx. 520Hm). to the streambed of the Macile/Brussine directly before the first rappel/jump point. The path was newly created by the AIC in fall 2021 and is the fastest and most ergonomic access to the Rio Macile. Fast walkers can easily complete the access in under 30 minutes.
Tour: The first spot (SOS 12) is a rappel (C10), but can usually also be jumped. You can also rappel at SOS 11, but it is also an extremely fun slide that is actually always possible (as of April 2024). The canyon narrows visibly. A few smaller abseils follow. At SOS 8, the last escape route is on the right. This is followed by several smaller abseils, some of which must be completed in the water. The final section is a 60m rappel that leads directly into the Fella riverbed. If no 60m ropes are available, you can exit to the left after the last narrow section and descend via an embankment and stone channel.

2025-07-27: Everything top as always but a bit slippery at the moment. First jump and slide possible without any problems. All pools are deep enough.
Access: From Chiusaforte drive in the direction of Sella Nevea. Park on the left immediately after crossing the Raccolana (space for 1 car), or in the village beforehand. From Carnia, take the SS13 towards Tarvisio --> at the exit of the village of Chiusaforte, turn right towards "Sella Nevea"/Raccolana --> follow the road straight ahead --> before the bridge over the Raccolana stream, turn right into a road that leads to a large parking lot. When you reach the embankment at Racolana, turn left and stand at the exit of the parking lot -> there are steps leading up the embankment and down to the streambed of the Raccolana. The way back through the riverbed of the Fella and the Raccolana is a good way out.
Return: Follow the Fella upstream until the Raccolana stream flows into the Fella. Cross the streambed of the Raccolana and continue upstream to the right until you reach the concrete steps (about 50m before the bridge over the Raccolana).

Approach: At the parking lot there is a thin but clear climb that leads steeply uphill between Rio Rivis and Rio Costa Stretta. Just before the entry into the Rio Rivis cross right towards Costastretta. Just before reaching the streambed, turn left uphill and cross under the walls until you can descend into the streambed. Alternatively, you can briefly follow a serpentine trail downhill and reach the canyon under a waterfall of about 30m over a grassy band.
Tour: First in narrow but sunny gorge over several rappel down to 27m. Fuses were already in need of renovation in 2018. In the open part afterwards three more rappel before you are back on the road. There are a few mini slides and one low possible jumps. \n

Approach: Summer access: From the Startgels cable car station, take the hiking trail directly along the stream to Punt Desch (several bridges over Flem) Winter access: From the Startgels cable car station, follow the edge of the ski slope up to Punt Desch. Punt Desch is the Flem bridge between parts I and II (entry Flem II into the large pool 20m below the bridge from the right-hand side, in winter rope in directly upstream of the bridge if necessary, the anchor comes after the 1m jump orog. on the left). ------------ From the Naraus cable car station, take the hiking trail to Punt Desch, which is the Flembrücke bridge between parts I and II. We hike slightly downhill and meet the road coming up from Flims at an altitude of 1745m. Follow this road to the right to Punt Desch. A few meters before reaching the bridge, turn right off the road and up towards Alpe on Cassons Sut. Immediately leave this path again and follow a faint path that leads uphill in a northerly direction parallel to the stream incision. At an altitude of around 1830m, the entry to the streambed, which is still open here, opens up to us.
Tour: Quickly we come to the beginning of the small-limbed and not very deep gorge. We climb and cling downwards in a polished stone structure, interrupted by some smaller rappels and swim sections. Also a forced siphon awaits us. We have to crawl under some rock arches. Then the narrow ganng opens and we come to Punt Desch, where we can either get out or follow the ascent of the second part.

Return: The return journey is made more difficult by the new FlemXpress. As of 01/2025 (still in test operation), it is not possible to take the lift directly down (neither Foppa nor Startgels). You have to ride all the way up to Nagens Sura to be able to ride all the way down again. Be careful with tickets with a single ride to Stargels for access! Possibly no return journey possible. It is also not possible to buy a ticket to Nagens, as the gondola does not stop in Foppa/Startgels on the way! (An employee let us ride from Startgels to Nagens free of charge and we stayed in the gondola and rode down)

2024-03-18: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Butterfly Canyon C'est pas dingue mais le cadre est jolie. Rampe végétale dans le haut puis deux grands rappels moussus au milieu des branches...
Approach: The descent to the stream takes place before the Gül Market down the tarred road on the right. Then you have to look for the most convenient access to the concrete streambed. The first option is blocked by a wire fence, but you can open it from the left if necessary, as it hangs loosely in the bushes here. The next access point is after the road dip. Before the small house, follow the path that leads steeply down to the right into the streambed after a few meters.
Tour: Once in the concrete bed of the stream, we follow it and the subsequent clear tracks, first on the right and later on the left side of the stream. We come to the final entry at a prominent tree and a massive iron anchor on a large boulder in the middle of the stream. The first rappel begins here (40m), followed by a diagonal rappel (20m - belay on the right) to the belay above the high and wide wall (left). The rappel here was also in 2015 (end of the year) from a combination of roots and branches of a tree. Even on our first ascent (in 2010), it was too unsafe for us to place an anchor in the brittle tufa. In 2024, the stand was fine. Now you descend about 55m and come to a plateau-like ledge. There is now an alternative here to continue the descent. We took a route on the right-hand edge of the ledge, which is at best wetted by the water flow and the anchor is slightly below the ledge on the right. The rappelling routes here are also around 55m. Alternatively, there is a direct descent from this ledge directly along or in the main watercourse. An anchor should be available, a rope protector is advisable in case of doubt. The abseil height here should - estimated ! - should be around 45m. This is probably the more athletic option. The further descent then takes place together again over iron steps and secured on massive fixed ropes. Even a "half-shoe tourist" can climb up to the last waterfalls. The ambience with the steep and high walls and chutes is impressive. Finally, you reach the bottom of the valley and walk out to the beach on pleasant paths.

Return: The way back up to "George House" on the canyon rim is on the orographic left-hand side of the valley, starting at a wooden swing gate in a small stone wall and is signposted. For people who are sure-footed and have a head for heights, there are no difficulties on the ascent. More exposed passages are secured with ropes. You should still have something to drink here. Up to George House, there are constantly impressive views of the canyon exit and out to the beach and the sea. In 2024, there was a prohibition sign at the start of the descent (repair work), but there was nothing similar to be seen from below at the start of the ascent. Alternatively, during the tourist season, there is the option of being picked up from the beach by boat. This takes the canyonist to Olüdeniz and costs 400 TL (2024). In this case, a second vehicle in Olüdeniz would make sense.

Access: From the town of Fethiye on the southern Aegean, we drive about 12 km south to Olüdeniz, a tourist stronghold beautifully situated on a bay with a lagoon and sandy beach. Towards the exit, the road descends steeply into the village. Where it begins to level out again - about 400m before reaching the coastal promenade - we turn left onto Kidiral CD towards Faralya. The road initially walks towards the slope and, as soon as it reaches the foot of the slope, turns right and heads south, gradually ascending along the coast (beautiful view of Olüdeniz). About 3.4 km after turning onto Kidiral CD, we drive around a large hotel complex located directly on the coast. The road now climbs steeply, partly in serpentines, and after a total of almost 8 km we reach the canyon rim above the Kelebekler Vadisi. The road branches off here, we keep to the right along the canyon rim and reach the sparsely built-up hamlet of Faralya 1.9 km after this fork in the road. We can park our car in a suitable place at the signs for "Tizar Mah". Alternatively, the parking area of "George House" can be considered for our car. However, you should contact the operator of the restaurant beforehand. This parking lot has the advantage of being We follow the signposted turn-off to the right down to "George House". In this case, you have to walk back along the road to the start of the descent to the stream.

Butterfly Canyon: Waypoint
Comment: arrivée du sentier en haut (descente)
Approach: The descent to the stream takes place before the Gül Market down the tarred road on the right. Then you have to look for the most convenient access to the concrete streambed. The first option is blocked by a wire fence, but you can open it from the left if necessary, as it hangs loosely in the bushes here. The next access point is after the road dip. Before the small house, follow the path that leads steeply down to the right into the streambed after a few meters.

Giessenbach (mittlerer): Canyon Start

2025-06-13: Middle part nice and with some slides, stands ok. Lower part again reasonably deep so that jumping and slides were possible after checking. Rusty stands but still ok.
2025-04-13: I can only agree with Elias. Then made the lower one afterwards :)
Approach: An indistinct track leads down through the forest in a westerly direction to the wide gravel bed and the slide brake at the beginning of the gorge.
Tour: Entering below the slide brake, after a few slides, you soon come to the key section of this gorge. First you rappel twice, each time a few meters into whirling pools, and then on the next rappel you have to try to rappel under the surge, crouched flat against the rock, and not be pushed into the corner ("Gscheier Loch").

Return: After the gorge has opened, turn left onto a forest road. This would bring us to the Schopper Alm, but we cross at the latest on the open meadow area pathless or on unclear tracks up to the forest road. Here to the left a few hundred meters to the car.\nAlternatively, below the Schopper Alm a continuation of the tour in the Vordere Giießenbachklamm is possible.

Angerbach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the station, follow the marked path past the church to the Annakreuz cross. At the cross, follow the forest road leading west. Where the forest road crosses the small stream, descend into the ditch which you follow until it joins the Angerbach stream.
Tour: At the beginning, follow the meandering stream in the swampy bed until the canyon narrows and the first abseiling points follow, after about 5 abseiling points between 5 and 15m height you stand under the bridge of the Mariazellerbahn. After another 5 rappels you are in front of a beautiful 45m rappel. This abseil can be bypassed on the right over steep forest terrain. Below the waterfall there are about 4 more abseils in a quite beautiful low gorge. Caution: the rock is extremely slippery.

Angerbach: Canyon End
Return: At the bottom of the valley, follow the forest road under the high-voltage power line back to the parking lot at the train station. Alternatively, you can park a second car at the junction of the forest road and the country road between Reith and Erlaufboden. In this case, the return journey is shortened to 10 minutes.

Approach: From here, several tracks lead downhill through the forest in a southerly direction. They join below a larger rock slab and the resulting path leads down to the Rio Isuala (at the exit of the Oscuros de Balces (entry).
Tour: A total distance of about 7 km. First 1 hour walk to the beginning of the narrowing. Then alternate - sometimes long - swimming and walking passages. It is worth taking a look at the mouth of the barrancos from time to time. At the exit, the canyon opens up and we walk along the wide bed of the Isuala out to the bridge and our car.

Approach: About 30 m east of the bridge, a path leaves the tarred road. This crosses the Rio Serandi at a dilapidated mill on the orographic left bank and climbs up in switchbacks as an old mule track. You then meet the path coming from San Martin (old access). After about 50 minutes you reach a meadow, pass the stone house on the left and descend in an easterly direction to the stream. Here is the entry.
Tour: 22 Rappels. The upper narrow section in the semi-darkness is worth the effort. At the exit of a more open middle section are the two long rappels. There are several opportunities for slides and smaller jumps.

Approach: Follow the trail ("Sentier Amen") that goes up the slope in a southerly direction, passing the entry to Vallon de Tireboeuf. On panoramic paths you go up above the canyon of Daluis, passing the hamlet of Bancheron. At marker "112", do not go left up to the summit of the Amen, but stay on the previous path and take marker "115" to reach the bridge at 1060 m above sea level. Here is the entry.
Tour: The canyon is particularly attractive because of the final waterfalls and the narrow section in front of them, but is also worthwhile as a "complete package". The alternative is to access the canyon from the parking lot of the first vehicle down to the Var and then up the scree slope to the saddle on the other side in order to walk only the attractive final section - cascades finales (https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon/2480). You can also get off at this saddle before the final section if you walk the entire canyon (signpost). The red rock is very smooth in the water area. The siphon in the narrow section at the exit of the canyon can be avoided by overclimbing, but can also be dived through without any problems.

Approach: From the second vehicle a few meters downstream, to the first long pool. Here entry.
Tour: 7 rappel. To get in the mood, you should take a look at the final waterfall Cascada de Ézaro (50 m high) from the Central Hidroelectrica, when water is released from the reservoir - usually around midday for about 30 minutes - and a cloud of water dust up to 40 m high rises from the 16 m deep pool.A call to the local Central Hidroelectrica (Tel.: 981 712 703) may be unsuccessful, but the head office (Tel.: 981 706 700) is happy to provide information on when you can enter the Xallas (in our case from -'despues' 15:00). The descent becomes increasingly attractive after a walk and swim to the next residual water drainage in the sequence of deep pools in smooth granite rock until you reach the view of the nearby sea at the top of the final waterfall, which breaks pleasantly on a ledge about halfway down. You can get out on the right before the final waterfall. There now seems to be a constant flow of water. So watch out for dangerous backwaters. The last rappel into the large pool is between 2 water channels outside the stream.

Access: From Santiago de Compostela on the C543 to Noia (37 km), further north always along the sea on the C550 via Muros and Carnota to Ezaro (total 114 km). Just before Ezaro there is a bridge over the Rio Xallas. Directly after the bridge turn right and drive along the river to the Central Hidroelectrica (approx. 1.5 km). Park the (first) car here. With the second car - or on foot in about 60 min. - before reaching the Central H. turn left (northward) on the tarred road in serpentines steeply up to the viewpoint and from there further in northeastern direction to the dam (Presa de Santa Uxia). From here you can still descend in a southwesterly direction to the river (park the second vehicle here at the latest).
Return: After the last long rappel out to the right to Central Hidroelectrica.

Acquaduro: Canyon Start
Approach: We cross the stream on the road bridge, keeping to the right after the bridge, we meet Via per Bandino and leave it on sentiero n. 25 to Rifugio Buzzoni. It leads us steadily uphill. At 850 m a.s.l. we have temporary contact with a forest road and continue climbing. After passing a penstock, we keep to the right at the following crossroads and come to some houses, where we descend into the streambed.
Tour: The canyon begins with many small slides, then rappels with the C 46 as the highlight. The latter now has a climber. After the bridge small-scale with slides and smaller rappels as well as some jumps. Commercially used here.

Access: From Lecco up into the Valsàssina and via Ballabio to Introbio (center). At the entrance to the town (16.7 km from the center of Lecco) we park our car in the parking lot in front of the road bridge over the Acquaduro. P.v.Duin also describes a possible shuttle service.
Return: Once a trail is visible on the right side of the riparian terrace, exit onto it and head downstream to the car.

Morobbia: Canyon Start
Approach: From here down to the bridge below the dam. Get on here or anywhere on the next 300 m from the footpath that runs along the banks of the Morobbia.
Tour: River walk with many pools and quite at the exit the only (double) rappel. During an ascent in mid-July 2009, the 15m rappel was missing the screw and the lug (probably twisted out by water flow). Since the canyon is apparently no longer used commercially, take appropriate precautions for such surprises!

Access: We leave the A2 at the Bellinzona-Süd exit in the direction of Bellinzona (north) and after 1.6 km we come to Piazza Grande in the center of Gubiasco. From here, head east up Via Morobbia to Pianezzo (2.8 km). At the beginning of the village, before the 90 degree left-hand bend, Via Campagna turns off to the right. 200m further on - after the left-hand bend - we park the lower car. Take the second car back to the main road and continue uphill for 3.8 km towards Vellano. From the 4th left-hand serpentine (altitude 740 m above sea level) - before reaching the village of Vellano - a small road branches off to the right and leads down to the reservoir (640 m above sea level). There are also parking spaces for the upper vehicle here.
Return: At the bridge turn right and follow the path up to Pianezzo.

Approach: From the place at the exit of the slope (parking lot in case of possible conversion) we follow the path in a northerly direction. At a fork, we take the left branch, which leads us into the streambed after a few meters. Approach without shuttle:
Tour: In the course of the descent about 12 steps, some of which are rappelled, some bypassed. See http://win.aic-canyoning.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=883

Gorroppeddu: Canyon Start
2017-05-08: Good option if all canyons are dry anyway.
Approach: We continue walking on the slope. After 350m it moves away to the right in an easterly direction. Here we continue on the forest road straight north. About 500m further on we see the entrance to the gorge on the left between the rock walls. Here we leave the path and continue towards the bottom of the gorge.\n\nIf we don't want to or can't make a transfer, there is also an access from the lower car, see under "Retour".
Tour: In the canyon first many smaller steps, which are downclimbed or bypassed in the majority. At the canyon exit follow 20 min walking in the open valley. Then we come to the next steep drop. To the left of a prominent "index finger in rock" the entry into the wall is via a C28. Then the 55m rappel follows. There follow about 20 min in the streambed downhill, then we get off at the road bridge.

Approach: Cross the bridge and continue to the hamlet of Barberine (about 1155 m a.s.l.) and a little later on a footpath towards "Barrage d'Emosson, 1931 m". At 1595 m a.s.l. a path branches off to the right (to the east) in a left bend in the direction of Le Chatelard, Firnhaut. It leads down to the stream.
Tour: The canyon on the national border is south-east facing and has two separate parts. After the narrow section, you exit to the right onto the ascent path and then re-enter further down before the 40 m rappel. The canyon is often used commercially. It is attractive because of the possible jumps in the first part, but above all because of the scenic ambience with fantastic views of the four-thousand-metre peaks around Argentiere and Chamonix. As the canyon lies below the Emosson reservoir, it is advisable to call the Centrale de Vallorcine (tel. 0450546064) before setting off - see also: http://www.emosson.ch/PublicDE/Securite.htm

Approach: From the bridge we walk as long as possible along the left bank of the stream. At the latest 100m (meters) below a small water drainage we then climb into the slippery streambed.
Tour: We climb 2 steps one after the other (8m and 12m). At the first step we find the anchor for the handrail on the left edge of the stream under the water surface, about 3m from the edge. After these two rappels and a run we arrive at the edge of the high cascade (75m in total). The anchor for the first rope run (16m) is in the middle of the stream. Rappels of 35m and 30m follow. The belay between these is offset to the right (by one edge). Now alternate runs with downclimb and rappel (R6 -10m; R7 - 35m; then a 4m step for rappel; R8 - 6m; R9 - 25m; R10 - 30m).

Return: After the last rappel you walk a good 10 min. in the streambed and can then exit left onto a slope that leads directly down to the car. The exit was marked in 2016 with cairns and an "Exit" wooden board on a tree on the left bank. Without these aids, you will miss the exit here, which does not hurt, because then you just get off at the next bridge to the left and here also comes to the lower car (20 min. additional time).

Approach: Orograf. left of the bridge a few meters downstream we come into the streambed. In the book "L'illa dels torrents" by Barceló/Trias is described an access from the orographic right side of the stream directly from the car parked in front of the hamlet.\nAlso the alternative access via the Torrent Rafal leads inevitably over private land.
Tour: We climb or ropes down the streambed. After about 200m, the water of Torrent Rafal splashes down from the top left. A jump is possible here if the pool is full. This is also the case several times in the following sections. In addition to a few 20 to 35 meter rappels, we also come across the "Gan Salta" with 55 meters (about 15 rappels in total). Once at the bottom, we walk and climb further down the streambed.

Approach: The piste leads us, initially high above the stream, to the entry point at a dam with a water drain. We can also walk a little further along the slope and enter at the waterfalls (see photo gallery).
Tour: The short, narrow, meandering conglomerate gorge in the middle section with a few jumps and a 10 m toboggan makes up for the previously rather boring march through a flat streambed with a few tree-climbing sections. Last rappel: here a sling at the top of the tree. Clean but relatively cold water.

Access: Take the A-7 from Genoa in the direction of Milan to the north. Take the Ronco Scrivia exit and continue north on the country road towards Serravalle. Approx. 4 km after the exit, the road leads through a hamlet called Creverina. Shortly before the village on the left, a narrow road leads under the railroad to the stream. Park the lower car in a suitable place at the top of the road. Continue with the second car through Creverina and after the last houses, a very narrow road leads off the main road at a steep right angle to the left in front of an old distillery. Follow this uphill and then continue straight ahead at all junctions until the road makes a sharp right turn uphill. A dirt road branches off to the left. Park the top vehicle here.
Return: About 100 meters after a last abseil into a slightly larger lake, a path on the left bank leads to the railroad underpass, where the second vehicle was parked.

2025-07-19: The rating is wrong: max. A2 rather A1. The stream is dry at the slide brakes. The stream is basically divided into three parts: 1. little incised, but continuous rappel, belays easy but ok. 2. canyon...
Approach: We pass the sports field on the left and do not go down into the gravel bed of the Urlaine, but take the path that runs up the edge of the slope. It later climbs steeply and we come to a forest path (780m above sea level). The forest path continues along a hunters path ("for experienced hikers only"). After a further 35 minutes we reach an indistinct fork (1020 m above sea level). Here we do not continue right up the ridge towards Zundereck (red dots), but go straight on into the forest. The path heads south, always slightly uphill, and after about half an hour (from the fork) we come to a striking rock face that towers above the path. Right here we look for the somewhat inconspicuous tracks that branch off to the left downhill from the previous path. It leads to the Archtal hunting lodge and takes us to the entry to the Urlaine. If you want a more rugged access, take the old gorge trail (partly exposed) up to the Archtal hunting lodge and on to the entry point (see Google map under Weblinks).
Tour: A mudslide cleared the stream around 2012, especially of the many deadwoods that used to be found here. On the other hand, it flattened almost all but a few anchors. We made do with 80 m of rope and a few "emergency operations" at the belays. The highest rappel is only 15 m, but rappels from trees or rappels over several steps require more rope. Replacing all anchors with anchors would make the tour take a day and then there would be no glued anchors. So if you have to, then use a drill. More details about our ascent on 13.07.2014 can be found in my extensive video and photos. In the meantime (2020) everything is properly secured again.

Approach: In the same direction, follow the initially wide, later narrower path, cross the dam on the right and continue through the forest until you reach a wooden sign "Vereda dos Barbinhas". Cross the river Seixal here and look for the faintly recognizable path opposite (cairn). Climb up the steep wall until you reach the Levada do Seixal. Change here (there is no room for this at the entry point!) and then walk to the left for a few minutes to the entry point.
Tour: The first step can be rappelled down a small tree, downclimbing is often tricky because the rock is very slippery. From now on, abseiling point follows abseiling point, and after three waterfalls, the two high Multipitch waterfalls are already waiting. If you don't miss the intermediate stands, you can work with 40-meter ropes. After a spectacular series of three high abseils, there is a short break to catch your breath before the next exciting passage is reached. This is also the only really deep pool on the tour. The tour then comes to a relaxed end with two short abseils. After the last rappel, a path leads off to the left.

2024-07-19: The anchor was missing at the first abseil point. It can be improvised using the blocked tree stands. However, rappelling over the blockage in the water at this point was not easy at this water level....
Approach: We take the path in the direction of ONO, between the houses and come at a solitary house to the wooded slope edge high above the Great Melchaa. Here a few meters to the left (north), the path then descends, first in a southerly, later in an easterly direction, to the river (entry).
Tour: River walk in a great canyon with some narrow key points that are dangerous when the water flow is above average (backflow).\nThe rope length is oversized so that you can "rope around" (handrail)at a narrow point and also install sufficiently long drift anchors (backpack).\nWater catchment in the upper reaches (flushing about every 2 weeks).\nIn view of the disproportionate water risk, caution is required.

Brändbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Entry directly at the bridge, by rappeling from the railing.
Tour: 8 rappel; usually with poor water flow, because above water drainage. About 1 km above the entry is a dam - after long rains, if necessary, consult the power station. It is possible to install a Rappel Guidé at the 2 water-filled pools in the middle section. Emergency exit almost always possible. cf. also:

Brändbach: Canyon End
Comment: à droite vers parking aval par la piste ou à gauche vers le sentier à le haut (descente)
Return: After the last rappel point (R 10) descend about 100 m over boulder terrain until a path crosses the stream.\nHere (if there is only one car at the entry) turn left (east) slightly downhill to the farmstead and from there on a hiking trail back up to the bridge.

Brändbach: Parking at Exit
Comment: navette possible, mais pas necessaire (descente)
Access: From the A 3 freeway, take exit no. 45 (Weesen) at the western end of Lake Walen in a southerly direction via Oberurnen to Näfels (5 km from the freeway). At the western edge of the village take the Oberseestraße up the hill towards Obersee. The road passes after a little more than 3 km the Haslensee (no lake in the actual sense - rather a marshy clearing) and divides 1.4 km further at a small reservoir.\nHier turn right. If you have 2 cars at your disposal, park the first one 430 m after this turn at the roadside (here a path comes up to the road from below in northeastern direction).\nWith the other or the only car you turn right at the 3rd haipin bends(1,1 km after the reservoir) (actually you go straight on) and park 100 m further at the now following bridge.

Fallenbach (Walensee): Canyon Start
2025-07-05: Very good grip, little wood, currently very good conditions.
2025-07-01: Very nice conditions. Condition see inspection 07/2024
2024-07-15: Super beautiful, clear water like rarely before. Wood chaos has moved down, just before the high rappel. The rest is only slightly slippery and everything is jumpable and slippable.
Approach: Ascend about 100 m orographic left high bank of the Fallenbach. Then either rappel sideways from the tree into the canyon or continue along the canyon rim until you can downclimb into the canyon rim.
Tour: Runs, smaller rappel and downclimb to the confluence with the Rombach (beautiful cauldron). Then, after a few small steps, you reach the reservoir. Swim through it as soon as possible out to the right. At the dam wall you have to expect a suction effect. Caution is advised! Since 2012 swimming through the reservoir is prohibited. A permit can be purchased for 1000,- Swiss francs incl. instruction. Without a permit a fine is due.

Comment: Zusammenfluß mit Rombach
Approach: Ascend about 100 m orographic left high bank of the Fallenbach. Then either rappel sideways from the tree into the canyon or continue along the canyon rim until you can downclimb into the canyon rim.

Esguilhao: Canyon Start
Approach: Either we enter the stream directly at the bridge or - better - we walk first on the right bank on the meadow until the entry into the meadow is unavoidable.
Tour: A sequence of about 13 rappels awaits us, but jumps and slides are largely absent.

Esguilhao: Canyon End
Return: Once we reach the concrete bridge, we take the mule track coming from Cedros, which takes us to Ponta Ruiva and our second car parked there.

Approach: From here, a terrain depression descends in a southeasterly direction. We follow the path. Maybe there is also the signpost 'To the springs of Voidomatis river'. We reach the wooden footbridge over the stream (entry).
Tour: 25 rappel. Only partly a bit more narrowly cut, exit possibilities to the left (orographic.) up to the mule track (not tested). Difficulty depends on the amount of water, as some rappel 'in the beam'. Since May 2011 apparently now possible to rappel outside the rappel. Barely any opportunity for jumping and slides. Interesting horizontal slab layering.

Return: There are 3 possibilities: Unless you have a second vehicle, go back up the said mule trail to Papingo. The trail starts a little south (estimated 200 - 300 m) of the Voidomatis (karst) spring. The trail directly from the spring up the boulder field in northeastern direction is only indistinct. The Voidomatis spring is reached by joining the river (Voidomatis) at the exit of Rogovos canyon, following it upwards, crossing it later and heading for the chapel after about 300 m (from the spring to Papingo about a good hour). The second way back is also first to the chapel, but from there up to the right - first in a southerly direction, until you meet the path coming from the Vikos canyon. Follow it to the right (northwest), up to the village of Vikos, where you should have left the second car before (from the chapel about ½ hour). The third option is to follow the river Voidomatis downstream at the exit of Rogovo to reach the road bridge (Aristi - Papingo) after about 1½ hours.

Access: From the northernmost Greek ferry port (Adriatic Sea) Igoumenitsa, take the N-06 (= E-90) in the direction of Ioannina (95 km). 5 km before the city turn left via Eleousa onto the northbound N-20 (= E-90) and drive about 30 km in the direction of Konitsa. 4.7 km after Kalpaki turn right towards Mesovouni, Aristi. Once there, we take the road to the village of Vikos, which towers high above the canyon of the same name. There we park one car. With the second one we go back to Aristi and there we turn right down to the bridge over the Voidomatis and up to Papingo. At the beginning of the village we turn right up a ridge and go down beyond (30 m). Here park the car at the foot of a wall. If you have only 1 car, leave it in Papingo and take a path back down from Vikos, crossing Voidomatis and then going up the orographic left slope of Rogovo to Papingo (cf. way back).

Servia, Φαράγγι Σερβίων: Canyon Start
Approach: From the cemetery (back) to the town of Servia and then keeping south up the hill with the Byzantine Castle. Instead of then taking a left turn up to the castle, we keep to the right and come to a restaurant at the exit of the road. Past the restaurant, a path leads us over the canyon towards the south. At a bench you can climb over the grate and after a few meters you are at the stream.
Tour: 8 rappel. Water always murky - quicksand. Still nice descent

Servia, Φαράγγι Σερβίων: Canyon End
Return: Where the canyon widens into a broad valley, you can see the cemetery at the top right. Along its southwestern boundary wall to the car.

Servia, Φαράγγι Σερβίων: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Thessaloniki on the A 1/E 75/E 90 in the direction of Athina (Athens). After 33 km and after the tollbooth at Malgara keep right on the A 2/E 90 (the highway to Athina goes left). After 117 km (from Thessaloniki) you pass Veroia and reach the exit to Kozani, Larisa. Leave the highway here and drive around Kozani to the east, always on the E 65 towards Larisa. It goes down to the Aliakmonas reservoir, on a bridge to the other shore and then slightly uphill into the town of Servia (145 km from Thessaloniki).\n\nIn Servia we head for the municipal cemetery. It is located southwest a little outside the town in is recognizable by its cypress trees. Park your car here.

Access: From Nuoro, do not go directly on the old SP 389 (southwestward), but follow the appropriate signs ('Lanusei') first on the southern bypass of Nuoro, on this 5 km westward, to then change to the new road to Lanusei. After 53 km (from leaving the bypass) you pass the village of Villanova Strisáili, slightly off to the left. A few kilometers further on, the road ends at the SP27 coming from the left in the direction of Villagrande-Strisali. Continue first on the old SS389 to the root of the Lago Alto del Flumendosa dam and to the Riu Sicaderba. Now turn right off the SP389, cross the river on a bridge and cross a railroad track near the Villagrande Strisali station (on the left). Then it crosses the railroad track again. A few meters later, the road to Canyon Riu e Forru turns off to the right. We stay on the main road and continue towards Taquisara. 4.6 km after turning off the SS389, a dirt road goes off to the left. We continue on this road in a southerly direction. We ignore a track on the left. Our track turns off after 1.6 km. Here we park the car (if necessary for the access) ("P1").\n\nIf we have two cars available, which are able to cope with the following slope, we first go down with both cars on the slope further to the right and after 1.7 km we come to a crossroads above the river. Here we park the car for the exit ("P2").
Return: As soon as the descent flattens out, turn right onto a slope and walk to the lower car. If there is only one car at the top, walk from the indicated place for the lower car up the slope to the car at the top (1.7 km).

However, it does not come so far, because at the beginning of the circumnavigation we take a slope to the right in direction NE. On the right below we see a barranco, which we pass keeping left. Then we enter the next "our" Barranco del Corb".
Tour: 4 rappel down to the Rumbau overlooking the massive natural arch.

Gavarra: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car we first descend the slope to the east, then in an arc to the south. Entry from the orographic left side of the canyon. See also wikiloc!
Tour: The canyon, which is extremely attractive when water is flowing through it, is not to be underestimated in its length and because of the danger of falling rocks (especially when it rains); in addition, when water is flowing through it, the Rio Rialb, into which the canyon flows and which must be followed a good way down, can also flood (probably still doable up to a point).

Gavarra: Canyon End
Return: After reaching the Riu Rialb, we wade downstream until the canyon opens up. Here we see a green boulder in the river bed. We then also see markings on the left bank indicating the exit. We climb up and reach a forest path. We follow this to the left, keeping close to the canyon rim if in doubt, and return to the car.

Gavarra: Parking at Entry
Access: Coming from the north (Andorra, Seu d'Urgell) or south (Lleida) on the C 14, turn onto the L 511 at Coll de Nargo in the direction of Tremp. After 16.2 km, take the road that branches off to the left towards Gavarra. We head south and about 300 m before reaching the village and before the road climbs again, we come to a road junction around which several farmsteads are grouped. Here we take the track in an easterly direction, always keeping to the right at junctions, the track curves south and after 4.4 km we come to a barn on the left-hand side of the track. On the left we can see a large open space. To the right of the track, which bends slightly to the left before the barn, is a flat area. We park our car here.
Return: After reaching the Riu Rialb, we wade downstream until the canyon opens up. Here we see a green boulder in the river bed. We then also see markings on the left bank indicating the exit.

Enter the Grognardo here (see details there). Immediately after the end of the dark gorge (i.e. before the orographic exit of the Grognardo), follow the tracks up to the left and take the path to the north, which ascends slightly above the orographic right bank of the Argentina. We come to the medieval stone bridge Ponte di Mauta (540 m above sea level) and enter the Argentina above the bridge. Here we come to the first attractive part under the bridge, saving the usual running distance up to this point.
Tour: For Grognardo see there ! After the entry under the Ponte di Muota, you start with a jump, then come to the highest step, which can also be tackled with jumps. Then a longer running section until the exit with some optional jumps and the slide into Lago Degno round off the tour.

Avello: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot above Pennapiedimonte, follow the small road that is closed to public traffic, soon pass through a tunnel and enjoy beautiful views of the Majella peaks and the Avello canyon below on the left. A water pipe walks under the track and so the path climbs moderately and evenly most of the time. After a while it drops again, you walk through another tunnel and approach the bottom of the gorge. On the opposite side, you can see the Fosso Selvagrande coming down. About 100 m after the road enters the forest, look to the left for footprints leading down to the Avello. You come to the streambed just below a 12 m waterfall (approx. 730 m a.s.l.) - 1¼ h. Note: You can also start further up - Valle Tre Grotte (additional 70 min on the descent) - by following the little road to the picnic area of Linaro (850 m a.s.l.) and possibly another 200 m further on (880 m a.s.l.). Access via the Fosso Selvagrande is also possible.
Tour: 4 km long, deep, almost entirely narrow canyon with many small rappels and downclimbs. Some jumps and slides, especially as the ground is gravelly (check!). Difficulties due to wedged wood and roots, possibly also with a lot of water (snowmelt on hot days in June and July!). In the lower part, a narrow channel with a base width of 10-20 cm (if necessary, clamp over it), the only major widening in the middle of the canyon, but an emergency exit here is only possible for good climbers - danger of falling rocks. Highly recommended canyon. Possibly to be combined with Valle Selvaromana (see Figlie dell'Acqua e del Tempo - M2b) or for extremes with Valle dell'Inferno (see Figlie dell'Acqua e del Tempo - M2c and Canyons & Gole 1' No. 23).

Avello: Parking at Entry
Access: Take the A-14 along the Adriatic Sea south to Pescara. At Pescara-South /Francavilla leave the highway and drive in the direction of Chieti. At Ripa Teatina (9.4 km by then), instead of heading towards Chieti, take the well-built SS-81 southeast towards Guardiagrele. After about 19 km the road forks and you take the right branch up to Bocca di Valle (about 6 km). From here it is another 3.5 km to Pennapiedimonte. At the first and highest entrance to the village (signposted Balzolo), turn right off the SS-263 and after a few hundred meters you will come to a small square where the public road ends. Here you can park the upper car (720 m above sea level) and with the second car you continue downhill on the SS-263 in the direction of Palombaro and after about 5 km you reach Ponte Avella. If you only have one car available, there is a convenient footpath up to the village: this turns off the SS-263 to the left about 200 m from the bridge and leads up to Pennapiedimonte and the starting point of the tour above it. It does not matter whether you go left or straight ahead at the 2nd junction.

2025-06-06: Beautiful passage with waterfalls coming from above :) We parked our camper at the first parking when you enter the village.
Approach: From the parking lot, head straight up through the medieval village until you reach the road again. Follow this road in a right-hand direction uphill until you come to an almost 180-degree bend. At this bend, a path branches off to the righthand side via a small stone staircase and leads into the Buggio valley. The path sometimes seems to get lost (it is better to keep left at a fork, but the path on the right also leads back to the main path), but then becomes clear again. Follow this path along the edge of the canyon. After the small faded signs depicting a bird, you come close to the stream. Clear climbing tracks then quickly lead down to the streambed. At the entry point there is a metal sign mounted on a stone (rules of descent).
Tour: Supplement to the description "Canyons in Liguria II": The second rappel is higher than 15 meters. The 7 m rappel is an overhang, here it goes fully through the beam, not feasible when the water level is high. A jump here is dangerous: the jump surface is smooth and a rock protrudes far into the pool without being visible from above. Slipping would be fatal. After this key section, the gorge is easy, but it is better to downclimb the slides.

Lesina: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow Via Christoforo Colombo westward, past the electric plant and then climb up the steep road on the left to reach a concrete water basin at the top (about 35 min. to get here). Keeping left in front of the basin we come to a canal, which we follow.\nWe have to overcome a barrier and come through a small tunnel. After this we go on clear tracks and further following the blue-white markings down into the streambed.
Tour: For more than two thirds of its length, the Torrente Lesina presents itself as a not particularly attractive forest canyon, even though smaller jumps and slides are already possible here. Then, however, an attractive gorge begins, which offers as a highlight a vertical slide of 14 m length.

Lesina: Canyon End
Return: After passing the slide brake, continue along the streambed for a short distance and at the road bridge over the Lesina on the left side of the stream you will reach the road with the parked vehicle again.

Levigliese: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the forest road in a westerly direction. In a left turn it crosses the Levigliese. Enter here (stream still mostly dry) and walk downstream until you reach a water diversion (to the southwest) and the remains of a mill and a wooden footbridge. Here begins the actual descent.There is also a footpath from Vergemoli in a southwesterly direction down to some houses. There, however, it gets lost and you have to descend pathless (and arduous) to the stream.
Tour: 6 rappels, see photos and video

Levigliese: Canyon End
Return: Either (right) out onto the newly constructed path or up to the road bridge.

Levigliese: Alternative Canyon Start
Comment: Depart 2 (sente jusqu\'à hameau, continuer sans sente) (descente)
Approach: We follow the forest road in a westerly direction. In a left turn it crosses the Levigliese. Enter here (stream still mostly dry) and walk downstream until you reach a water diversion (to the southwest) and the remains of a mill and a wooden footbridge. Here begins the actual descent.There is also a footpath from Vergemoli in a southwesterly direction down to some houses. There, however, it gets lost and you have to descend pathless (and arduous) to the stream.
Tour: 6 rappels, see photos and video

Levigliese: Parking at Exit
Access: From Florence westwards on the A 11 or from La Spezia southwards on the A 12, then branching off eastwards from the A 12 at Viareggio onto the A 11, we reach Lucca. From here we head north up the Fiume Serchio valley and after 36 km we reach the small town of Gallicano on the right bank of the Serchio. Here we turn west and head towards Fornovolasco. At first, the road runs above the Turrite Gallicano. After about 4 km you reach an area where the river is dammed. After driving along the small reservoir for about 1 km, we come to the junction where the road turns right up to Vergemoli. However, we continue straight on for about 300 m until the road crosses the Levigliese. Just before the bridge, there is space for the lower vehicle on the righthand side; the second vehicle takes us back to the junction and then up the winding road to Vergemoli. A few hundred meters before reaching the village, we park the second vehicle where a small forest road branches off to the left in a hairpin bend (to the right).
Return: Either (right) out onto the newly constructed path or up to the road bridge.

Rio Molino Faet: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue along the gravel road, which becomes a forest road. After about 2km of trail, in a hairpin bends at 710m above sea level, turn left onto a barely visible animal trail that descends gently into the streambed.
Tour: After some rappeling and rappeling you come to the highlight of the tour: the 95m waterfall with rappel stand orographic right. Crossing the waterfall, one finds after 55m on the left a hanging stand from which it goes another 45m into the depth. The rest to the confluence with the Tagliamento is just a river walk.

Rio Molino Faet: Canyon End
Return: best to drift down the Tagliamento to the car.

Approach: Access from top to bottom: We turn off the TF-24 onto the dirt road heading south. It leads us through sparse pine forest down to the black cone Caldera de Pedro Gil/Arafo/Montana de las Arenas. We pass it on the left and continue downhill. Where the track crosses the stony streambed at the confluence of the Barrancos de Cosme and de las Saletas (1450 m above sea level), we can enter the barranco (here called Bco. de las Saletas). On access from below, we take the cross road a few meters south from the car and then follow the Camino Morra del Estanque uphill. Where the road begins to turn south at an altitude of 835 m, a dirt road on the right leads to farmsteads on the edge of the canyon. We continue along the road for a few more meters on the left and then turn right onto the path uphill. It turns into the "T-2" mountain path (marked with a blue cross on a purple background). At an altitude of around 950 m, a path branches off to the right. Down here would be the access to the lower part of the Bco or the (possibly emergency) exit from the upper part. We keep left and continue on the path. We come out of the forest, pass the Refugio de las Arenas, leave the track to the right about 200 m later and cross in a left-hand bend down into the canyon (about 1250 m access altitude, i.e. significantly lower than the access from above). Of course, you can also continue down the slope from above next to the Bco. to enter at a lower point.
Tour: See photos and video ! Exit and access possibility at the relay in the 2nd high rappel at the tunnel window of the water pipe. Interesting the clearly visible lava flows, especially at the 1st high rappel, each covered by earth again. Somewhat "herbaceous" at the exit.

Access: From the airport in the south of the island on the TF-1 to the NNE. After 39.3 km (from the highway ramp) leave the TF-1 at exit 20 at El Socorro and take the TF-281 in a westerly direction up to Hidalga to the TF-28. Turn left on this 175 m towards the center of Hidalga, then turn right again onto the TF-245 up to Arafo. In the center of the village, turn left in front of the administration building and the church. At the next traffic circle turn right into Calle Jose Antonio. Follow this road straight on uphill - later it is called Calle La Libertad - until after 1.2 km (from the traffic circle) the Camino Morra del Estanque turns off to the left. Park the (lower) car in a suitable place here. If you only have 1 car available, this is where the access begins. If you have 2 cars at your disposal, it is possible to walk 23 km. You won't save any time, you will lose time, but the access from the top is scenically stunning. The problem is that the car parked at the top is at risk of breaking (as we unfortunately found out).
Return: Exit onto the tarred road crossing under the water crossing and right to the (lower) car.

Approach: We now follow the road to the left down to some houses (do not take the meadow path that turns right!). Directly below the houses we come to a path running along the slope, which we follow to the right. After about 20 minutes we come to the Ponte Negrone, which crosses the Rio Leone. Immediately after the bridge, the path turns right (do not go straight ahead!). After another 15 minutes or so, the path crosses the Cu du Mundu coming down from the left (exit point at about 300 m). The path continues uphill in several hairpin bends. After an additional 40 minutes, the path branches off (approx. 580 m above sea level). We take the left-hand path and reach the entry point in a few minutes. Mostly directly on the orographic right bank, a partly exposed trail leads up the canyon.
Tour: Relatively narrow wild forest canyon with some opportunities for jumping. Slippery.

Access: A-10 from Voltri (Genoa), exit Arenzano; take the SS-1 west towards Cogoleto, Varazze. After approx. 200 m, Via Giappone branches off to the right towards Terralba.\nIn Terralba, turn left (after a right-hand bend) into Via Pecorara. The road initially heads north, then bends to the west. Drive through Pianaletta and cross the Rio Lissola. At a junction, turn right uphill (via Checchelli). After a few hundred meters you come to a widening of the road, where the "main road" goes up in a serpentine to the right, but another tarred road leads down to the left. We park the car here. There is quite a pile of junk and tools on the hillside.
Return: Where the stream crosses the ascent path (see above access).

Tour: Lots of cold water, "refreshed" again at the footbridge. Open (hiking) canyon in the upper part, but then a serious canyon with no exit option below the footbridge. Rewarding, also scenic; there are a number of other canyons in the vicinity (including Juan, Maraval, Rest, Rougnouse, Frache) Permitted from May 1st to November 30th from 10 am to 6 pm.

In the village, turn right and park the lower vehicle in the large parking lot directly on the orographic right bank of the Lance.\nWith the other vehicle, drive back along the road for about 700 meters (down the Verdon) until a dirt road branches off to the left after a building materials warehouse. This leads over the Verdon and another 700 meters along the river to the south. It then turns left and climbs several kilometers up into the high valley of the Lance. We park the vehicle on the large area in front of the barrier. If you only have one vehicle and no other option, you can also reach the entry point on foot in 1.5 hours. The path starts behind the fire station ("Pompiers") on the other side of the Lance, leads up to the slope, which you then follow to the upper parking lot.

Approach: From the hamlet of Les Chambons, follow the little road - across the Borne - for about 1 km (you can also park the car here), where you then take a forest road on the left down to the river.
Tour: Charming forest gorge in granite rock, little cut, with some longer walking passages, but also nice possible jumps. Exit possibility on the right up to Chazalettes after the longer narrow section with final 3 m jump. ATTENTION: If, during the last jump, you decide not to do it from 8 m but to descend to the origin of the waterfall and jump from there, be very careful of the siphon that follows the water level. If you take the origin of the waterfall as the first point of reference, upstream there is a slab about 3 m long and then a rock 2 m high in the streambed. At the base of this rock, the siphon sucks strongly.... Caution

Comment: Canyon Start oben
Approach: Orographically right along marked trail no. 546 uphill, initially steep through forest. After about half an hour you come to the turnoff to the dam for the lower part. For the upper part, follow the path uphill. At about 940 m there is a barely visible turnoff to path 545, but here you stay along the course of the gorge on path 546 (path arrow Val Clusa path 546). From now on you go without much loss of altitude always along the path until at 960Hm you come closer and closer to the stream and can enter without major problems (see coordinates). The path is generally clearly visible, there is no more damage from the forest fire. At one point there is a possible risk of falling, but this is well secured with steel ropes.
Tour: At the beginning, Val Clusa is still a relatively open forest gorge. However, this changes after the first 6 rappels, where the canyon narrows and becomes deeper. In general, there are only a few ways out of the canyon during the tour. After approx. 18 rappels or 27 rappels in the upper part, you will find a way ortographic right out of the canyon. After approx. 29 rappels there are yellow signs and the path leads out to the right where you reach the dam. This path should not be overlooked, because if the dam is active and water is dammed, it may be that you can no longer get out of the reservoir, because the ladders are in a shaft that is only accessible when the dam is empty. For the upper part you should plan about 4h-5h. If you miss the signs and jump into the pool, there is another rappel before you reach the reservoir and stand in front of the dam. During our ascent (15.8.2023) we were lucky that the dam was open, i.e. you could easily go through the dam and get to the lower part or use the ladder in the shaft for a possible exit. The dam is automatically controlled and is also connected to the Lago del Mis as an overflow, i.e. you should generally not dawdle in the lower part, as even if the reservoir is open and the water is ok due to a technical fault etc., water is fed into the Clusa. water is fed into the Clusa. The lower part is a little more aquatic than the upper part but very nicely incised. The lower part has a total of 7 rappels, the highest being 30m. You should plan about 1.5 hours for the lower part. The border of the national park (where canyoning is prohibited) is exactly on the southern bank of the Clusa - the ascent of the Val Clusa is permitted.

Approach: From the chapel we continue to follow the descending slope and 300 m further we cross the stream (ford). Beyond, the track goes up through olive groves. After a right and a left serpentine, the track describes a right and then a left bend. Here (800 m from the chapel) take the left slope, which leads first westward, then slowly uphill in a southerly direction. After the three distinctive bends (right, right and left), at the next junction (1800 m from Kapelle) do not go straight on, but left and then immediately right again at the following junction. This track now moves in a northwesterly direction and a little later we come across a T-junction. Here right and always - hardly noticeably - uphill towards the north, then later towards the east. We then cross the streambed of the Xerofarago, which is only recognizable as such because there is a corresponding signpost (anno 2008) on the right (3600 m from the chapel). (Here we leave the car (4x4 is necessary)). We follow the signposts and follow the notching streambed first along the shore, later we march in the streambed itself to the beginning of the canyon.\n\nIn connection with the not so easy wayfinding you should have a look at the Google Earth Sat image with geolocalization at descente-canyon.com (zoom in!)\n\nThere is another access (west) next to the canyon pathless and steep up (stone men) and then as soon as possible right down into the streambed (who loves it a little harder). In addition, one could (who wants it even more pleasant) also work with car conversion and then march from the north or drive with 4x4 (see sketch at Bromirakis). Then access time about 5 min.
Tour: Narrow rocky gorge, beautifully cut, generally without water flow.

Reichenbachklamm: Canyon Start
2016-10-16: long walk up before you pass canyon exit. long approach doesnt really pay off.bolting ok
Approach: About 500m on the B309 back to the old customs house. Immediately after the houses turn left onto the forest road that runs SW towards the foot of the slope. The path approaches the Reichenbach on its orographic left side in a weak right curve. After 950 m the forest road bends to the right (on the righthand side a barn under a tree). A few meters further on, the path to the Reichenbachklamm turns off to the left. It now goes up as a steeply ascending path in the direction of Aggenstein at the edge of the Reichenbach gorge. Here you can also see the lower waterfalls. Leave the path where it leaves the stream and walk along the canyon rim in 10 minutes to the entry.
Tour: After a short run you come to the first rappel (5 m). A little later to the high rappel, which you pass outside the beam. The following small steps can be unpleasant in case of strong water flow. After a short run further rappel outside the rappel. Before a narrow chute we went out to the left and bypassed it on a wire rope insurance. Then the short canyon exits. The Reichenbach is a German/Austrian border stream - so stick to the Austrian side because canyoning is generally prohibited by law in German streams (the only known exception is the Kesselbach near Bad Reichenhall).

Pruniccia: Canyon Start
Approach: We cross the Gravona (550m old) to the northern bank and follow the "boucle d'u nidu à u corbu" hiking trail. We have climbed the embankment and take the path to the left at the fork, which runs alongside the Gravona. After a good 10 minutes, we come to a fork in the path and turn right (uphill). Where the path begins to descend again in a marked leftward haipin bend (675m alt.), we take the inconspicuous path that runs uphill through the maquis. At an altitude of about 750m we pass a rocky ridge (see photo) and immediately after this we descend to the left. Only indistinct tracks lead down through the dense maquis into the streambed (730m old). If you want to head for the upper entry at 990m alt., continue along the overgrown path until it reaches the stream at about 820m altitude (not verified, but marked on IGN map, garden shears essential). There you change to the orographic right-hand slope and climb over the rocky ridge to an altitude of a good 1000m. Here you will find a descent option to the stream. In this attractive upper part there are slides and a narrow section with a C32. Jourdan/Fiorina first descend to the lower entry and from here head for the upper entry on the orographic right side of the stream. Additional time required for access about 1.5 hours.

Access: We head for the village of Bocognano on the N193 (Ajaccio - Corte). Either about 40km from Ajaccio or about 41km from Corte over the Col de Vizzavona (1183m above sea level). At the eastern exit of the town, we follow the sign "Richiusa" and take the small road downhill in a northerly direction. After 950m we turn left downhill a few meters before reaching the hamlet of Busso and after another 700m we come to a large parking lot on the left (below) the road. Here we park the car.
Return: Shortly before reaching the Gravona, we take a path to the left (red-orange markings) that leads us along the Gravona, initially up the slope and upstream (ruined house). Walking downhill again, we meet our access path and follow it back to the car.

Pruniccia: Alternative Canyon Start
Comment: Orientierungssinn gefragt
Approach: We cross the Gravona (550m old) to the northern bank and follow the "boucle d'u nidu à u corbu" hiking trail. We have climbed the embankment and take the path to the left at the fork, which runs alongside the Gravona. After a good 10 minutes, we come to a fork in the path and turn right (uphill). Where the path begins to descend again in a marked leftward haipin bend (675m alt.), we take the inconspicuous path that runs uphill through the maquis. At an altitude of about 750m we pass a rocky ridge (see photo) and immediately after this we descend to the left. Only indistinct tracks lead down through the dense maquis into the streambed (730m old). If you want to head for the upper entry at 990m alt., continue along the overgrown path until it reaches the stream at about 820m altitude (not verified, but marked on IGN map, garden shears essential). There you change to the orographic right-hand slope and climb over the rocky ridge to an altitude of a good 1000m. Here you will find a descent option to the stream. In this attractive upper part there are slides and a narrow section with a C32. Jourdan/Fiorina first descend to the lower entry and from here head for the upper entry on the orographic right side of the stream. Additional time required for access about 1.5 hours.

Sababach: Canyon Start
2025-08-31: Stands all in order. Everything very slippery there. Fixed ropes in good condition. Access via ortographic left hiking trail: approx. 1h Time in the canyon: 3.5h (solo) Partly sunny in the afternoon....
2025-04-12: Everything tip top.
2024-08-31: All stands in order, water level ok. A little slippery at the exit
Approach: Via the forest road (Reintalstraße) or on shortcuts into the Reintal valley in the direction of Musauer Alm, Otto-Mayer-Hütte to the bridge over the Sababach. Entry before the bridge right down into the streambed. At the alternative access (recommended if there is no possibility of transfer) we follow the forest road on the orographic left side of the slope to the foot of the slope, turn right (north) and hike along the foot of the slope, finally pathless, until we meet the hiking trail coming from Musau. Now (at 835m altitude) we turn left and walk up the Achselsteig into the forest (signpost "Musauer Alm, Otto-Mayer-Hütte, ..."). We cross a yoke ("Achsel" - 1140m altitude) and follow the forest road downhill to the stream. Even before reaching the bridge on sight pathless left down into the streambed (1090m altitude).
Tour: First forest gorge with mostly sloping rappel, then narrower but short Schrofenschlucht before you stand above the big waterfall. Mostly decent water flow, but you do not get to feel in the rappel. To reach the rappelling points, however, the current must often be crossed, which is not unproblematic because of the extremely slippery rock. Above the two highest rappels you meet a via ferrata - either cross to the left or cross from the right over a two-rope bridge to the rappel stand on the left side (here also directly rappel possibility in 2 rappels). From the top it goes alternatively 27m down, then another 43m right in the dry. In the last part there is a short rappel feeling - rappel 18m under the clamping block (alternatively on the right between the two water footholds in the free slope), finally rappel 4m and 10m over a double step (attention: hollow space on the left in the first part) through the water. In case of strong water flow, dry rappel from the top left.

Comment: Wanderparkplatz
Access: Parking entry: From Reutte via Pflach and Unterletzen in the direction of Gasthaus Bärenfalle. From the direction of Füssen on the L69 via Musau approach. Pass the inn and follow the forest road for a short while - many parking possibilities. For the alternative access on the orographic left side of the stream, we park the car on a forest road next to the bridge of the L69 over the Sababach.
Return: Orogr. left to a disused sawmill ("Höllmühle") and hike along the forest road to the main road (parking for second car). Return along the road to the parking entry at the Bärenfalle inn.

2023-10-23: Unfortunately currently dry, some pools with water so that slides are possible. Hooks all good. Very slippery. Otherwise, some nice rappels. Best to go after prolonged rain.
Approach: At the parking lot, cross the Litzlbach stream and follow the path for about 850m until you reach a steep bend to the right. We do not follow the forest road further around the bend but continue straight into the forest. Follow the path for about 500m until you reach a crossroads. There straight on. Go another 550m to a trail branching off to the left and then follow it until the creek approaches at about 3 hm and enter the Scharnbach. Very overgrown because little used. (00h 50')
Tour: Rappel and downclimb over smaller steps, small slides, smooth "terrain", always deadwood obstacles to overcome. Then the C27, again downclimbing over deadwood, a narrower passage, some possible jumps and finally in the open creek bed out to the bridge and the exit.

Comment: Parkplatz nach dem Wertstoffhof.
Access: German Alpine Road - B 305, 6 km from Inzell southwards, or 5 km from Schneizlreuth northwards to the southern end of Weißbach on the Alpine Road. Here turn onto Sägmühlweg and cross the Weißbach, then continue for a few meters "am Litzlbach" in a southwesterly direction.drive past the Wertstoffhof and park your car at the next road branching off to the left.
Return: After the confluence with a stream coming from the right (southwestern direction), we continue walking for about 200 m in the now open streambed, before we get off to the right up to the bridge. Over the bridge to the left on the slope in the direction NNW downhill, finally again over the Litzlbach, to the village and the car. (00h 15`)

Return: After the final C30 we take the path downstream on the left bank. Then across a metal footbridge to the right bank. We follow the sign "reservoir de Serger" and thus come up to the parking lot.

Kibris inf. (II): Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the dirt road to the left past the last house in the OSE direction and keep directly towards the canyons. Upon reaching the canyon rim - a homestead on the left - the trail swings to the right at a 90 degree angle and now walks along the orographic right edge of the canyons for a good 100 meters. Then it turns left down into the slope above the canyon. We follow it downhill to the wooden bridge over the Kibris. Before the path goes up in an arc to the right on the far bank, we look for a narrow rocky ridge on the left that runs towards the canyons. From there, after a few meters, the access leads down to the right into a steep chute and to the riverbed (entry). If necessary, you can also rope down from the tree here.
Tour: Hike up the riverbed to the only rappel, which we reach after about 20 min. We rappelled to the right of a tree in 2ß11 and 2015. We then continue on a river walk until we are challenged once again in the narrow final passage, depending on the water flow.

Kibris inf. (II): Canyon End
Return: About 70 m after the canyon exit we get off to the right and look for a path in the lower bank, which is repeatedly interrupted here by some slope slides. Once we have picked it up, we first follow it southwards upwards above the river. It then curves around the slope and above a side stream in a southwesterly direction, moving steadily and pleasantly uphill. We then left this path and went up - pathless - to the right. This brings us to a meadow area, at the southeastern edge of which begins the dirt road that leads us successively to 2 farmsteads and finally to the car.

Kibris inf. (II): Parking at Entry
Access: From Sütlegen, we first drive two cars to the parking exit. After leaving the central square in Sütlegen, we take the main road in a southerly direction (signposted Kalkan). After 1350 m, we turn left at a sharp angle. We follow the narrow road downhill and after another 900 m turn left onto a road that walks along the slope at about the same height. Another 300 m further on, we turn right downhill from this road. We follow the road downhill, keep left at a fork (after about 620 m) and then continue for about 2 km. There the road crosses a small stream and emerges onto a meadow. Park the car here for the exit. We could drive another 270 m to the exit of the road, but we don't want to restrict the working area of this farm. Now we take the second car back and drive up the access road. After 2.6 km, we reach the road again, which runs along the slope at about the same altitude, and follow it for a distance of 2470 m. Then we turn off the road at an open angle downhill to the right. Now descend slightly for 480 m and turn right at the junction. Now almost another 300 m, then we park the car for access on the right in the open area in front of the last houses (loudspeaker on wooden pole). This is the same parking lot as for the exit from Kibris superior.

As there is only a short distance between the entrance to the canyon and the first descent, start the descent from the bridge. * If there are no problems, the canyon can be done with one night of camping by moving quickly with a team of 4 people. * The first parts of the canyon are a river walk and the wall height is not high. * The factor that makes even the easiest movement in the canyon difficult is the swamp. * In some places it sinks to waist height. * From the moment you enter the bottom of the canyon, you must continue through the swamp and the traps it creates until you reach the exit. * Don't skip it just because it's soft here. Because there may be rocks directly below the swamp appearance. As you descend with one step, you may step on a muddy surface with a rocky bottom with the other step. * Be careful with each step to avoid foot fractures or sprains. * Horizontal and vertical localized fractures are slippery layers. These are the cracks and crevices you will see on the walls in the canyon. These points can shift, especially in wet conditions and light vibrations. * You can see these cracks in many parts of the canyon. * There are huge rocks between the walls of the canyon. * The canyon has wind corridors, especially from the first part onwards. * A beautiful waterfall flows in the cave. * After the 6th descent, the canyon takes the form of a narrow channel and you have to walk through the waterfalls and swim in water that is more than high in places. * The mud in the canal after the 6th descent is quite difficult for the athletes. * After leaving the cave after the 6th descent, the first valley form begins. * After the 6th descent, you can exit the canyon by bypassing a point in the valley form. After entering the valley after the 6th descent and after about an hour of walking with 4 people, the exit is located where the top of the right wall of the canyon has the shape of an arch. If you look at this slope from below, the right side is a steep slope. First you go up from there, where the water has shaped the marble and makes it look like a step. Then you reach the most difficult steep climb through the trees. Once you have conquered this difficult ascent, you will find the goat path and leave the canyon. There are fields behind the hill and it is very close to the village. Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point * After the 15th descent, the second valley form begins and there is a landslide area, so be careful. * Since the anchors at the stations were destroyed by floods and rocks and there was no previous technical report on the canyon, natural stations were favored as much as possible to use the 25 anchors next to us sparingly. * Canyon anchoring will be done in the future. * For accommodation before and/or after the canyon pass, you can choose the tree houses, bungalow houses or tent areas at the Saklıkent Gorge Club in the Saklıkent National Park facilities. * One of the places where you can eat after the canyon is Saklıkent Gorge Club, which is located in Saklıkent National Park facilities at the exit of the canyon.

Station: Artificial Material: 1 piece of pin Characteristics; - Half of the descent has a positive slope, the rest has a negative slope. - The landing is in deep water. * The trailing descent (length of descent x 2) and the rope allowance (2 m each) for the belayed athlete are calculated and used for the descents; - The shortest rope is 11.92 m long. - The longest rope is 77.58 m long. * The entrance to the canyon is before the first descent. As there is only a short distance between the entrance to the canyon and the first descent, start the descent from the bridge. * If there are no problems, the canyon can be done with one night of camping by moving quickly with a team of 4 people. * The first parts of the canyon are a river walk and the wall height is not high. * The factor that makes even the easiest movement in the canyon difficult is the swamp. * In some places it sinks to waist height. * From the moment you enter the bottom of the canyon, you must continue through the swamp and the traps it creates until you reach the exit. * Don't skip it just because it's soft here. Because there may be rocks directly below the swamp appearance. As you descend with one step, you may step on a muddy surface with a rocky bottom with the other step. * Be careful with each step to avoid foot fractures or sprains. * Horizontal and vertical localized fractures are slippery layers. These are the cracks and crevices you will see on the walls in the canyon. These points can shift, especially in wet conditions and light vibrations. * You can see these cracks in many parts of the canyon. * There are huge rocks between the walls of the canyon. * The canyon has wind corridors, especially from the first part onwards. * A beautiful waterfall flows in the cave. * After the 6th descent, the canyon takes the form of a narrow channel and you have to walk through the waterfalls and swim in water that is more than high in places. * The mud in the canal after the 6th descent is quite difficult for the athletes. * After leaving the cave after the 6th descent, the first valley form begins. * After the 6th descent, you can exit the canyon by bypassing a point in the valley form. After entering the valley after the 6th descent and after about an hour of walking with 4 people, the exit is located where the top of the right wall of the canyon has the shape of an arch. If you look at this slope from below, the right side is a steep slope. First you go up from there, where the water has shaped the marble and makes it look like a step. Then you reach the most difficult steep climb through the trees. Once you have conquered this difficult ascent, you will find the goat path and leave the canyon. There are fields behind the hill and it is very close to the village. Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point Pan Association Saklıkent Canyon Bypass Point * After the 15th descent, the second valley form begins and there is a landslide area, so be careful. * Since the anchors at the stations were destroyed by floods and rocks and there was no previous technical report on the canyon, natural stations were favored as much as possible to use the 25 anchors next to us sparingly. * Canyon anchoring will be done in the future. * For accommodation before and/or after the canyon pass, you can choose the tree houses, bungalow houses or tent areas at the Saklıkent Gorge Club in the Saklıkent National Park facilities. * One of the places where you can eat after the canyon is Saklıkent Gorge Club, which is located in Saklıkent National Park facilities at the exit of the canyon.

Saklikent Kanyonu: Parking at Entry
Comment: Parking pour l\'intégral (descente)
Access: First head for the canyon exit of the Saklikent Gorge. Park your car here for the exit. If you don't want to pay a parking fee, park your car south of the river. Take the second car and drive 700 m (calculated from the road bridge at the canyon exit) in the direction of Palamut, Kalkan (SW). Then we turn left onto a paved road, which leads us up the canyon in many serpentines on the orographic left side. After about 10.7 km we pass some houses (clear view to the east). 150 m further on, a dirt road branches off to the left. We continue on our little road and after a further 670 m take the track to the left at a fork. The next fork awaits us approx. 950 m further on. We stay left again and pass a few houses. 2750m after this last fork, we come to another fork in the track. The total distance from the start of the track in the valley to here is around 15.2 km. Here we have to decide whether we want to enter at the start of the canyon or continue down the canyon from or next to a road bridge into the canyon. If we want to avoid the upper parts of the canyon like the majority of hikers, we continue to the left and after 2.6 km reach the bridge over the canyon. Incidentally, you can also get here on the orographic right-hand side of the gorge via Arsaköy - or rather, past it to the north and largely on tarred roads. We park our car here for this access B. However, if we want to enter at the start of the gorge, we turn right onto a dirt road that leads to the hamlet of Camliova and the road to Sütlegen. After 3.6 km, we come to a tree-free firebreak in a right-hand bend, which descends to the left (north) to the open gravel bed of the Karaçay Dere. We park our car here for this access A. See http://pandernegi.org/saklikent-kanyonu-teknik-raporu/
Return: At the karst spring at the exit of the canyon, turn right onto the path and cross the footbridge out of the canyon.

Approach: From the car we follow the slope that starts northwest of the parking area and goes up continuously towards NNO. We ignore a track that soon branches off to the left, as well as the track that branches off to the right after about 600 m (from the car) and one that branches off to the left about 100 m further on. We pass through two gates. After a total of almost 1 km we come to the place where the track runs northeast away from the stream (Sikia). Here, where another path joins the Sikia, we descend into the streambed.
Tour: A total of 12 rappel. After about a third of the route, which until then is mainly walked or rappelled (only 2 small rappel), the Rodakino B Canyon opens from the right. From here on, the canyon becomes much more respectable.

Access: From Réthymnon we drive south towards Armeni, Spili, Agia Galini. We drive through Armeni. Approximately 10 km further on we turn right in the direction of Agios Vasinos Sellia. It goes in western direction. After about 10 km (from the turnoff) the road bends south and we pass (high above the streambed) the Kotsifoú canyon. We ignore a road turning left and come to Sellia. Not descending towards Plakia, but continuing straight westward we come after an estimated 18 km to Kato Rodakino. We pass through the village. At its western exit we see a small unpaved parking area on the left. Park the car here.

Approach: From the chapel we can choose between an upper and a lower access. The lower access is not so easy to find, but it shortens the descent by almost 1 hour. On the other hand, a 20m rappel is lost and the possibility to contemplate small artesian springs in the streambed. For the upper access, continue along the slope behind the chapel until you reach a few meters from the streambed. Here you take the relatively most pleasant descent. To get to the lower entry, walk west along the edge of the canyon, passing a fenced-in area with a house at the top. About 50m before reaching a cut in the terrain, keep to the right and descend at about a right angle without a path (2022) towards the streambed. Please note the geolocalization at the internet site 'descente-canyon.com' as well as photo 1 on this page.
Tour: A bit more open at the beginning, then narrow gorge in grown rock, high side walls, about 30 rappel, some with handrails to set up. Some possible jumps and slides.

Access: From Ierapetra we take the road towards Agios Nikolaos. After about 5 km we pass Kato Horio on the righthand side and after 10 km (from Ierapetra) we take a fork half-right; the other road leaving at a right angle would lead to Monastiraki. On our road we go about 1200 m (NE) and then cross the gravel bed of the stream that flows through Ha Canyon. Then we orientate to the right and after passing an access road to a factory we reach a chapel, which is located at the exit of the Ha-Canyon (orographic right bank). Here we park one vehicle and return with the other one to Kato Horio, turn left at the beginning of the village, then keep straight south for about 700 m until we find the road to Thripti (east at the beginning). From here we drive uphill for a good 7.5 km until shortly after a prominent left turn a dirt road turns off to the left. We take this road (2022 well drivable with a normal car, but not with 5 heavy persons ;) ); it leads horizontally along the slope of the Ha and after about 400 m (from the beginning of the track) we reach the chapel Agia Annna, where we park the other vehicle (see also

Alecrim: Canyon Start
Approach: You can now walk down the closed tarred road for about 300 m until it crosses the Alecrim in a ford, or you can climb up along the edge of the ER 110 until you reach Levada Ribeira Grande. Follow it to the left (east) until it crosses the Alecrim (300 m of descent and 2 smaller rappels to the entry at the road ford).
Tour: Continuing after Levada 25 Fontes is actually only worthwhile when there is water flow. In this case, you can get out immediately before the double step C11/C85 without a path on the left up to Levada 25 Fontes (100 m), if you want to do without the C85.

Alecrim: Canyon End
Return: Either exit left on the crossing Levada 25 Fontes and then orographic. right up to Rabacal.If there is still water flowing below the levada and / or you have long ropes, you can continue to descend and after 4 smaller rappels to the 85 m rappel. At the confluence of the Alecrim with the Ribeira da Janela, follow the orographic left bank upwards to the footbridge. From here, take the path on the right up to Rabacal.

Return: After the wide ramp-like drop towards the exit of the canyon, you can see a cemented platform at the bottom (former water catchment). Here on the right bank downstream to the road, as the last waterfalls are not secured (2010).

Piantonetto: Canyon Start
Approach: Entry below the bridge, possibly also below the small reservoir.
Tour: Initially aquatic until the water drainage. Then 7-11 rappel, slide and possible jumps. The highest rappel at 57m has a relay (12m/45m). It is recommended to exit to the right after "R7" on the topographic view at the water diversion at 750m. Alternatively, you can descend a bit further to get off just before the E-Werk.

Approach: At a white signpost, follow trail 633 uphill across meadows (initially only very indistinct tracks). At a statue of the Virgin Mary, cross a stream and climb initially in a westerly direction. After a left turn, the path soon leads into the canyon of Rio de lis Cladis. After about 40 minutes you cross the stream - entry point if you want to go only the lower part. \nFurther steep and in places secured with wire ropes up a crag before the path leads into a less steep beech forest. After the second flattening at about 960m above sea level (GPS 46.393583N, 13.362433) you descend without a path over steep forest to the right into the canyon.\nThe first rappel point is after a waterfall on the left side of the canyon (GPS 46' 23' 34.93 - 13' 21' 41.43).
Tour: Rppel 5 meters and cross to the other side of the canyon where the next anchor (14m) is located. Until the intersection with the hiking trail there are 7 more rappels up to 20m (chain anchors). After the crossing with the path, the rappels become higher and the belays worse (2 expansion hooks each).\nRespel sequence: 10m, 6m, 25m, 20m, 5m, 33m, 10m. A 35m rappel with a high risk of falling rocks brings us to the mouth of a side stream (from here on the stream is called Rio Impresis). In Rio Impresis we go over a beautiful 43m waterfall into the depths before a last 5m rappel follows. After a short boulder hopping over giant pebbles, get off on the left via a path.

Val Piccola: Canyon Start
Approach: For the access from Paiedo to the start in Val Piccola there are apparently 2 possibilities. We have essentially followed the access description at "descente-canyon.com". Thereby it goes first from Paiedo in about horizontal to the south. After about 300m (and 100m before the first stream crossing - photo no. 5) the path branches (photo no. 4). Descending to the left, it goes directly to the Casenda entry. We stay to the right and gain altitude. We cross Valle Casenda and continue climbing on the opposite slope until we reach the ridge between Casenda and Val Piccola (at about 1030m a.s.l.). On this ridge we descend (photo n. 9) until we meet a small but striking gulch at about 970m a.s.l. (photo n. 10). Here we see an overgrown path coming up from the lower left (photo no. 11). Follow it to the right (photo no. 12) until you reach the streambed of Val Piccola (photo no. 13).\nThe alternative access takes the track down to the Casenda entry at the first path junction (photo no. 4). Then cross the Casenda and climb - probably quite pathless - up to the above mentioned small but striking gulch (photo nos. 10 and 11). From here continue as described above to the streambed of Val Piccola (photo 12 and 13). This access can be traced on the following OSM map: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/46.2232/9.3855\nThe access we chose can be roughly perceived on the sketch in the book Canyoning Nord Italia (v.Duin) (page162), but in this book both the sketch and the description seem rather blurred.
Tour: 9 rappel to the confluence with the Casenda.

Val Piccola: Parking at Entry
Access: As for the Casenda: from Chiavenna we take the SS 36 for about 9.5 km in the direction of Lecco, Sondrio (that is, south). We come to a traffic circle (at the southern exit of the village of Somaggia) and here we turn towards Samolaco, Era (to WSW). At the hamlet of Ponte Nave we cross the Fiume Mera. A few meters beyond the river we turn half-left towards Casenda.We cross the village and meet Via Casenda, which runs along the foot of the slope. On this road we turn left until we reach the bridge over the Torrente Casenda. Here we leave the lower car. With the second car we go back to Casenda, then in the village we turn left uphill towards Paiedo. The road joins a road coming up from the north at 285m above sea level. Continuing uphill, about 500m after the 5th leftward haipin bend, we come to the junction of the dirt road that leads to the lower entry at the water diversion. We continue uphill and after 3 more leftward haipin bends we reach the village of Paiedo (900m a.s.l.). Here we park the second car.
Return: Either exit at the water diversion and take the forest road to the access road (Era - Paiedo) or continue the descent below the water diversion in the Casenda.

2025-08-16: Partly only 1 bolt at the stands - but these are good Beautiful single pitches, but a lot of boulder terrain in between 2-4 made
Approach: Follow the trail 377 for 300m into the Forcella del Rovin, followed by a long traverse into the Val Viellia. At a sign "Statione le Velleai" you can enter if you want to walk only the 4th part.\nFollow the path until the path meets the stream again (about 13m high waterfall in a circular pool 'Ipnotic Pool'). Here is the start of the second section. It is better to hike 250m upstream, because there are some nice jumps hidden here. Up to here it takes 1.5-2h. If you also want to walk the upper part, follow the path for another 1h and 300m until you reach the flat gravel bed in the area of Casera Chiampis.\n\nAlternative access from the pass road:\nnear KM-Steig IV/17 you will find a small parking area, on the other side of the road starts a path between stone slag nets. Follow this path (clear route, cairns) until you reach a small saddle, then keep descending until you reach the ruins of Stalle Velleai. The path is usually easy to see, only in the area of wind breaks there are orientation problems, but if you keep slightly to the right in the descent you should always find the path again. In the area of the Stalle Vellai briefly pathless left past the only house still standing until a path forms again that leads down to the Vielia. On the other bank climb about 40 m on a comfortable path to the hiking trail.\n\nIm streambed then uphill
Tour: Part 2: After a series of jumps up to 8m you are faced with the impressive 13m rappel into the 'Hypnotic Pool', the 4m rock step afterwards you rappel from an anchor on the left rock face (slippery traverse). After a nice swimming section, a 15m rappel follows under a rock arch (anchor on the right), then intermediate stand on the right to be able to rappel the last 5m outside the water jet. When the canyon opens up again, you are faced with a 20m waterfall - anchor to the right of the small pool of water (downclimb to the right). A short swimming section is followed by a 15-minute walk and climb. Part 3: The water flows partly underground here, less flow than in the upper part. After a 5m jump comes the first 14m abseil (tree on the right). Then a 6m jump and a steep 8m slide (or jump from the right) before you reach a 25m rappel into a narrow corridor (wonderful play of light, with the 'Olympic pool' waiting behind it). Either jump into the Olympic pool or rappel left using the hourglass, after the pool a strong and cold karst spring flows from the right, the water level is about tripled. After a bit of climbing and jumping, you come to another walking passages (10min), parts to the right at a boulder with numbers on it.\n\nPart 4: This part starts with a 7m jump into a large pool, then a 2m jump into a receding pool (you will notice the increased water volume here at the latest) and a fun 8m slide. After a few jumps you stand in front of a Z-shaped 8m waterfall, anchor on the left, crossing the current is not easy. The anchor for the next 15m rappel is on the left and very high up: ascend, ascend over a very narrow rock channel and then carefully rappel down a massive ramp (can be slid after checking). This is followed by many steps up to 10m high, some to jump, some to climb down in the watercourse. Some drops are equipped with abseil hooks. Two siphons can be bypassed on the right-hand side (one traverse each over grassy slopes to tree abseils, it should also be possible in the river bed). After a long swim in a narrow gorge, a stream with a beautiful waterfall flows in from the left, climb up a short ramp on the left at the next rockslide and rappel 24m from a tree with a rope sling (sharp-edged). \nThe following idyllic walking passages lead through an area with many springs - there is some cold water again. Here it is possible to leave the stream to the left to the road about 80m above. The last gorge is followed by some more massive waterfalls, a sloping 2.5m ramp is secured with an anchor on the right (underwater washouts). Immediately after the bridge, climb steeply up to the road on the right.

Approach: 3 options of approach are offered . Option A: We take the shuttle bus from Bellecombe behind in the valley of Rocheure to Chalet de la Rocheure. It runs throughout the summer and until the 3rd weekend in September. Takes about 70 min up and 60 min back. The first shuttle leaves Bellecombe at 08:30. Price under 10 euros. For the same price you can already leave from Termignon and leave car there.\n\nOption B: You are a cyclist, This is perhaps the fastest option. You are in the middle of the park of Vanoise and MTB is forbidden. However, cycling is allowed on this route. We ride from Bellecombe 11km on paved road. In the meantime we have to overcome a 200m height loss ( ). It takes about 45 - 60 min to Chalet de la Rocheure.\n\nOption C. Walk from Bellecombe to Chalet de la Rocheure; duration about 2,5 hrs.\n\nWe then continue each way from Chalet de la Rocheure on the hiking trail towards Refuge de la Femma (2340m altitude). From the right now comes down the valley of Vallonbrun. We cross the stream and climb across the meadows in the wide valley up to the entry at 2470m (about 30 min).\n
Tour: A little more than 10 rappel, rock holes, siphons, narrow cavities

Approach: About 100 m further on the road we reach the bridge over the Polischellu.
Tour: Up to 2 hrs up, about 1.5 hrs back to the bridge, 30 min down to the Vacca. Climb up the streambed until you reach an 18m cascade. Here you turn back if you are without rappel equipment; otherwise you bypass the 18 m drop as well as the following 22 m cascade to rappel both again afterwards.

Approach: Go through the underpass and over the suspension bridge to the northern bank of the Inn River and climb up on the hiking trail in the direction of Untermieming. After passing a chapel, immediately turn right at the edge of the meadow on a small path and continue along the edge of the forest down to the stream. (A little above on the left bank is the ruin of a mill).
Tour: A total of 15 rappelling points, some very far outside the actual streambed, with chain anchors and some wire ropes to get to the belaystation. However, it is possible to also follow the course of the stream in the lower part. The final waterfall is rappelled in two stages (otherwise longer ropes are needed).Above water diversion to a power station.

Approach: From the parking lot to the canyon rim (fence crossing)and on the trail to the right to the creek.
Tour: Attractive descent when water is flowing; otherwise stinking pools, where it can be difficult to climb out over a rock bar in a 'marmita trampa' (see video in 2002. In 2008 there was a ledge on the bar). Although the pools are generally not too deep, there are some possible jumps, but check carefully beforehand, see When the water flow is strong, the last pools before the high final abseil are dangerous due to the backwaters (last fatal accident in 2018). The gorge begins with a sharp-edged 33m rappel, followed by a 300m walking passage through open terrain before the gorge narrows again. Until the final waterfall, you move through a beautiful, narrow gorge in which one waterfall follows the next. After testing, there is a lot of slide and jumpable terrain. The canyon exits with a beautiful, partially free-hanging 45m waterfall. Abseiling stands to the left and right.

Comment: parking source de Arteta (descente)
Access: On the A-15 either from the north (San Sebastian) or approx. 18 km from Pamplona, take the Irurtzun exit. From this town, take the NA-7010 in the direction of Asiain. After approx. 7 km, turn west at Anoz in the direction of Goni and take one vehicle to the end of the canyon by turning south at the next but one junction in the direction of Ulzurrun, leaving the village in a south-westerly direction towards the cemetery and the Arteta spring ('nacedero', nacimento). The access road to the Arteta spring and the parking lot there may be temporarily blocked by iron gates. Then park your car approx. 50 m before the first gate on the right. Take the second car back via Ulzurrun and up the winding road to Goni. We drive through the village and the road then descends slightly after a left turn in a southerly direction. After about 1 km, you cross the left tributary of the Artazul, which you can use to get in. However, it is more advisable to continue for another 1.5 km until the road crosses another streambed in front of a barn. Entry via this stream offers an additional attractive rappel.

Comment: Cwiki
Approach: The accesses are shown in the sketches. Several GPS points - if necessary to be taken from Google Earth - can facilitate the wayfinding. There are no paths or trails. Access tracks are also quickly lost in the rocky terrain. Although the access routes are marked with many cairns, it must be clear which row of cairns you have to follow and you should be careful not to miss the next cairn.
Tour: In the left branch after the entry a vertical succession followed. Rappels: 30m - 30m - 42m - 20m - 40m\nIn the right branch: 10m (from the tree) - 23m -22m -14m -13m\nIn the common lower part then: 37m - 18m - 7m - 22m - 7m - 7m - 31m\nFollowing we walk down to the Codula di Luna.

Bacu Esone: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Dorgali we take the SS125 towards Baunei/Tortoli. 2,3 km after the junction of the SP37 to Urzulei we turn left from the SS125 towards Codula di Luna, Teletotes. At the end of the road, in Teletotes, we park our car for the exit.\n\nWith the second car we go back to the SS125, on it then left towards Totoli and after a little more than 2 km we turn left again from the SS125 on a dirt road. It branches immediately and we go to the right.\nNearer to the access parking "P2" for access: ("Bacu Esone") you can find an explanation to the above route sketch, which also modifies the corresponding description in Conca's book.\nDepending on the condition of the slope and the characteristics of the car (no 4x4; too little ground clearance), one will park the car for the access even before reaching P2.\n\nJourdan/Fiorina start on the west parallel slope, park their car earlier (Col de Genna Cucureddu). However, finding the access in extension of this slope seems more difficult.\n\n
Return: Here on both sides of the creek is opened the possibility to come upstream to "P1" in Teletotes.

Grande one drives first into the streambed of the Rib. de Torre and then 2.5 km in the valley further to the south. In a long left turn around the Tope Miranda, a few meters before the houses of Longueira is at a (well) shaft the pick-up point. The exit of the Peregrina canyon is clearly visible.

Rio Malazza: Canyon Start
Approach: Back to the bridge and left down into the streambed
Tour: Unfortunately, very dirty water through the village above, if then only go immediately after very heavy rainfall. The gorge becomes narrow right away - walk along the concrete socket of a water pipe until you can reach the first belay on the opposite wall. In the first gorge, there are a few swimming passages in heavily polluted water, then a long section in an open valley before the canyon narrows again. This is followed by a few slippery downclimbs and a 22m waterfall (anchor on the right), then another 3m jump before you reach the bridge at the climbing garden. Climb up to the road here or descend further (slippery downclimbs and 1x20m rappel).

Alplbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Hike along the sand road for about 2.5 km to Windischbachau at the head of the valley. Cross the Alplbach stream and follow the marked hiking trail towards Tremel until you reach a forest road. Follow the forest road eastwards until you reach a hairpin bend. From here, descend to the stream on a forest road that is already overgrown again.
Tour: The first rappel is 12m to the right over a tree. Then a series of pretty, currently unfortunately woody rappels with beautiful washouts in a low gorge leading to the highest rappel of the ditch. From a chain, it goes about 30m into the depths. Once in the main trench, there are 2 more abseiling points as well as various slides and possible jumps Caution: Due to a tree entanglement, the abseiling chain at the 30m waterfall threatens to sink into the gravel. Be sure to take anchors and quickdraws with you.

Alplbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Turn off the B25 into the Steinbach valley and drive to the exit of the public road at the Steinbach hunting lodge.

Alplbach: Canyon End

Visocco: Canyon Start
2025-05-23: All good with bit of higher water level, some trees in the canyon.
Approach: Downclimb from the slope over rocks directly into the streambed.
Tour: The rappel (max. approx. 35m) is mostly done from single anchors or rope slings on trees. Almost always could also be rappelled from trees. There are many emergency exits through steep forest. At the exit the anchors become sparse, but this is hardly a problem.

Visocco: Canyon End
2025-05-23: All good with bit of higher water level, some trees in the canyon.
Return: Directly before the road bridge right over small scree slope or already before left.

Access: From the south on the SS 13 Udine - Tarvisio after Chiusaforte you come to Vidali. Park here to the left of the road not far from a bar. 100m further on, the road crosses the stream, next to a small place of worship. Continue north in the second car. After 500m (turn right towards Dogna), turn left towards Plagnis and Visocco. The road crosses 2 small villages and reaches the houses of Plagnis after approx. 2km. Here the asphalt road turns into a gravel road. Continue on this for approx. 400m until it crosses the stream. You can park in the streambed.
Return: Directly before the road bridge right over small scree slope or already before left.

Return: Directly before the road bridge right over small scree slope or already before left.

Fragantbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow a narrow asphalt road uphill towards Laas (a few hairpin bends) until you reach a prominent junction. Grafenberg is signposted to the left, but we keep right (straight ahead) towards Innerfragant. Follow the single-lane gravel road for 750m to the bridge over the Fragantbach stream. Immediately after the bridge, turn right onto the climbing tracks to the entry point. You can also drive up to the entry with a 2nd car (parking at the bridge), but it is not worth it because of the narrow road.
Tour: The dam wall at the beginning is bypassed on the right, followed by walking passages with many short slides. Steeper steps are negotiated laterally in the dry, and woody passages are also bypassed on the bank. Clear path markings indicate where it makes sense to go around. When the water level is high, it is advisable to avoid a few slides and use the fixed ropes for the bypass - the water pressure can easily be underestimated. The highlight comes shortly before the exit: a hole in the rock opens up under a giant boulder, through which you can get behind the waterfall - very original and photogenic! Then it's another hike to the exit at the dam wall of a power station.

Fragantbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Via the B106 through the Mölltal to Außerfragant. Parking possibilities at the Fraganter Wirt (ask for permission) or at the church right next to it.
Return: Before the dam wall, turn right out onto a cart path (vertical rock face with climbing garden) and shortly back to the asphalt road, which you reach near the first bend.

Fragantbach: Canyon End
Return: Before the dam wall, turn right out onto a cart path (vertical rock face with climbing garden) and shortly back to the asphalt road, which you reach near the first bend.

Torrente Pezzeda: Canyon Start
Approach: After the bridge, turn right and cross the Torrente Pezzeda. Walk briefly downstream and then take the path up the embankment. The path, which is heavily overgrown in places but hard to miss, leads to the middle entry point into the Pezzeda in about an hour. Cross the stream and climb up the right-hand edge of the steep rocky gully, soon ascending very steeply to the right on footprints into the forest. The path is hardly marked and difficult to find under the many leaves - a few color markers and white barrier tape on branches will have to suffice as markings. To add to the confusion, there used to be another marked path that climbed up to 1750m before meeting path 370. This path is still marked on old versions of the Tabaccomap. In more recent editions of the Tabaccomap, the new route is (almost) correctly marked, and hopefully it is also correct in the OSM. First traverse uphill, at a dry streambed with fallen trees up towards the rock face and then right. Steeply up to a small flattening, keep right here and stay below the large boulder. After a very steep ascent with many hairpin bends, the path disappears again under foliage, first keep left, then follow the markings on the right which lead to an exposed traverse. After this traverse, the path is a little less steep through beech forest until you reach a grassy chute. Here we lost the path in the area of fallen trees and climbed about 80 meters steeply before we were able to cross to the right again. According to the map, the right path continues straight ahead here. At about 1600m above sea level, you meet the cross-path 370, which you follow without any problems until you reach the stream from Val Stua. Walking time from the middle entry point: 1.5h. Continue along the path until you reach the stream after a dilapidated alpine pasture. Descend a little further to the first pools.
Tour: First small downclimbs, jumps up to 3m and slides in a low gorge of banked rock. If the gravel conditions allow it, a 10m waterfall can be jumped, otherwise rappel from the tree at the back right. Then a tricky 2.5m downclimb into a narrow gap from which you have to jump into a narrow pool (no abseiling option). Rappel 16m over a basin from Spit on the left and then hike to the mouth of the stream from Val Stua. The gorge quickly becomes deeper, alternating between downclimbs and abseils < 10m. After a very impressive narrow section, the anchor for the next 10m abseil is far up to the right - accessible via an unpleasant, gravelly traverse. The gorge becomes sunnier, but remains deeply incised - abseiling points and possible jumps up to 6m. After the intermediate entrance, there is a short block climb before the lower section begins with three low abseils from the right. Then several possible jumps up to 7m in a beautiful gorge before the canyon opens up again. (Exit from the topographic view in Simon Flowers' book). You could ascend 30m to the path on the left or stay in the streambed where you will find a nice 15m rappel after a short block climb. Then downclimb and small possible jumps until you can easily cross left to the ascent path.

Approach: We take the footpath on the orographic right bank of the river in a southerly direction. After about 20 minutes, we descend to the right to the Bassin du Chien, which we can see from a viewpoint. Alternatively - and this is recommended - we continue along the path until another path branches off to the right. This also takes us to the river, but above the "Bassin du Chien".
Tour: Two additional jumps await us here in an attractive setting. First the Cascade Cerise (5m) into the Bassin Chien, then the jump into the Bassin Jeunesse (2m). After swimming through the "Bassin Jeunesses", we come to the next waterfall, where the river squeezes through a rock bar. Here you should jump in such a way that you don't get caught in the backwash, and after a few swims you reach the next step (4m or go around to the left). At the opposite exit of the pool, there is an underground grotto on the right with a dangerous undercurrent if the water flow is sufficient. Then another jump (6m). After a few more swims, the "Cascade Pembroc" is downclimbed on the left. This is followed by 2 more jumps (2m and 4m), 2 slides and again longer swimming sections. Then the river becomes channel-like. Smaller rapids with whirlpools have to be overcome. There are various possible jumps from the edge of the channel. The swimming passages are now longer, the jumps no longer exceed 4m in height. Towards the exit of this passage, we first pass an interesting level on the left with individual measuring sticks, then swim under the bridge before reaching the final waterfall (18m). Here you can get out on the right. This waterfall is usually taken in the Bassin la Paixaber, either by jumping or roping. See photos and video

Approach: From the parking lot in Quantin on the dirt road on the orographic left bank of the Rio Maggiore in a southerly direction, past a washing fountain to the bridge. Get in here (5 min.). There are also several possibilities to get on a little further down, in the area of the most interesting passages. To do this, park at the bridge near Cornolade Alte and hike briefly up a hairpin bend. At the next rightward haipin bend, turn left and take a good path along the edge of the gorge. The first rope-secured descent reaches the gorge just above the large siphon (15 min), but it is well worth following the good climbing tracks about 5 min further uphill to reach the gorge near a closed bridge by means of a 20 m rappel at the beginning of the most interesting part. The paths are marked on the Openstreetmap.
Tour: Not too deep cut into multi-colored stratified limestone, a lot of downclimbing, many smaller rappels, some possible jumps, 2 siphons whereby the first can be bypassed on the left (anchor for transverse rope available), exit possibility in the middle of the tour at the road bridge, then follows the highest waterfall in the canyon (25m). Caution in the very last section of the gorge after the highway bridge - iron bars in the pools.

The first rope-secured descent reaches the gorge just above the large siphon (15 min), but it is well worth following the good climbing tracks about 5 min further uphill to reach the gorge near a closed bridge by means of a 20 m rappel at the beginning of the most interesting part. The paths are marked on the Openstreetmap.
Tour: Not too deep cut into multi-colored stratified limestone, a lot of downclimbing, many smaller rappels, some possible jumps, 2 siphons whereby the first can be bypassed on the left (anchor for transverse rope available), exit possibility in the middle of the tour at the road bridge, then follows the highest waterfall in the canyon (25m). Caution in the very last section of the gorge after the highway bridge - iron bars in the pools.

Pito: Canyon Start
Approach: Trailless from the parking lot to the right (southward) down to the creek (entry; 10 min.)
Tour: Slightly above the entry, there is a wastewater discharge from the village of Pito on the left (orographic), which is unpleasant when the water flow is low. I f there is a lot of water, the pool between the 8 m and 16 m rappel can become a trap due to back suction.

Pito: Canyon End
Return: Where the stream is culverted, turn right onto the dirt road and follow it up to the road where the car below is parked. You could continue through the canyon of the Rio Garrafo, into which the Fosso Pito flows, until just before it flows into the Fiume Tronto (see 'Figlie dell Acqua e dell Tempo' no. H1b)

Pito: Parking at Entry
Access: Take the A-14 south along the Adriatic Sea, passing Ancona. 81.5 km after the Ancona-South exit, leave the A-14 at the San Benedetto del Tronto - Ascoli Piceno exit and now head west on the highway towards Ascoli Piceno, leaving the town (worth seeing!) on the left and continuing on the SS-4 to Acquasanta Terme. At the entrance to the town, turn off in the direction of Pozza, Umito. After the village of Pomaro, the road bends over the Pentito stream and continues up the eastern slope of the Rio Garrafo. 2.8 km after the bridge over the Pentito, a dirt road comes up from the right that leads to the abandoned village of Gaglierto. Park one car here, if you have two available, and continue for a good kilometer until you reach a church on the left above the road (S. Sabino). Park here.

Approach: At marker "111" the trail (740 m above sea level) begins in the direction of the hamlet of Amen. It is also the initial stretch of the access to the Clue d'Amen, which is made clear by a corresponding (canyon) sign.\nIn long serpentines we go up, on the right there is a view of Var and campsite, until we reach the stone bridge over the Tireboeuf (907 m a.s.l.).
Tour: Only the 18 m rappel can justify the tour. However, if you combine it with other tours nearby (Chaudan, Clue d'Amen, Gorge de Daluis or Bertheou) or stay overnight at the mentioned campsite, you have not made a mistake.

Approach: Arrived at the parking lot, you can already see the last rappels of the Rio Cuestis and the amount of water to judge --> from the parking lot (350Hm) you follow the road for about 500m towards Roveredo --> after the railroad bridge, but still just before the road bridge (which goes over the Rio Simon) you take the trail 425a rh, which goes steeply up. --> at 650Hm you meet a ruin on the right --> after that it becomes flatter --> after a few meters of altitude you meet a second ruin with a fork in the path (770Hm) --> here take the path on the right --> this leads slightly downhill in a few minutes to the stream (entry 750Hm).
Tour: From the stone wall at the entry at 750Hm, the first passages are bypassed and downclimbed --> in the first third are between the short abseils again and again longer walking and climbing passages (a short rope can often be helpful here) -->before the middle part with the narrow section begins could be on the right an emergency exit (only conjecture) --> further on through the very beautiful cut part of the canyon (mostly climbable parts) --> after the cut part there are several abseils with only short walking passages in between --> the abseils continuously increase in height --> special caution should be taken in medium and steep terrain>special care should be taken at medium and high water level at the place with the siphon (closed circle or rope traverse) --> the last third consists of the highest rappelling places where the belays are well placed and can be easily reached by rope traverses --> here shows who has mastered the 1x1 of rope technique because of the height and exposure, this tour is reserved only for the well-versed canyoneers --> an eye should also always be placed on a good rope retrival because already one or the other had to struggle --> on the whole, the Rio Cuestis is a perfect canyon with beautiful views for experienced canyoneers.

Fiumicelli (Superior): Canyon Start
Approach: Here we turn right from the tarred road onto a hiking trail (towards Bocca di Saltu), which first leads us in about 20 min. down to the Fiumicelli stream bed (290m alt.). We cross it and take the path beyond that leads up to Bocca di Saltu (871m old.) We now follow the track uphill, but after 2 switchbacks and a right-left bend we turn left onto a path that leads us up to the ridge. We reach it near a concrete water tank (1058m old.). Now we follow the path that always goes up on the ridge. Finally we come to the chapel of Tova. Continuing in the previous direction we go down to the spring of Tova. Here begins the descent.
Tour: The original route descriptions are largely outdated by the 2010 mudslide. Only the high rappel still shows in its original form. The somewhat tricky Marmita Trampa was filled by the mudflow.

Fiumicelli (Superior): Canyon End
Return: Where we crossed the Fiumicelli in the access, we now exit on the path to the right and thus reach the car.

Approach: From the ruins (1960 m above sea level), descend to the left in the hollow until you reach the rocky narrowing just over 1800 m above sea level, which is the entry point.
Tour: Sequence of many rappels at different heights (all before the bivouac site). Water flow only towards the exit. But even before that there are some possible jumps. Bivouac site after about 8 hours at about 760m above sea level - exit at the "Herzgumpen" up to the right. Up to the bivouac site there is no real exit option, although there are always opportunities to get to safety if the water suddenly swells up the slope.

Access: From Ventimiglia, we drive up the Roya valley, cross Breil-sur-Roya after 27 km and continue towards Tende. About 6 km after Breil, we turn right between 2 tunnels and drive over the Bendola up to Saorge, where we park one vehicle before the village. We take the other back to Ventimiglia, where we first head towards Bordighera and then turn off into the Val de Nervia (this is also the access road to Buggio and Barbaira). Via Dolceacqua and Isolabona, the route continues for around 20 km to Pigna. From here, the road climbs up to Colla di Langan (1127 m above sea level) and continues left to Colla Melosa (1540 m above sea level). The road is asphalted up to this point and continues up to Col Bertrand without asphalt until you finally reach the highest point (over 2000 m above sea level). The gravel road is in good condition and easily passable by a normal car, provided it has sufficient ground clearance (cross ribs for water drainage). At the ridge - we are on the "Ligurian border ridge road" - we descend a little and about 1000 m after the highest point turn left on a path at a shallow angle. You will come to some ruins and see an inhabited estate on the slope to the right. Park the second vehicle here. The ascent from the French side (Roya valley) described everywhere else makes a 4x4 vehicle seem appropriate, the ascent described here requires a longer transfer, but is much better in terms of the road. From Breil sur Roya you can also get a ride up for a moderate price.

Schmiedlaine: Canyon Start
Approach: Now we follow the AV hiking trail no. 455 according to the signpost "Tutzinger Hütte, Kohlstattalm" (see - until km 4.8). After 3.7 km we pass the Kohlstattalm (1020m altitude) and 400m further on we turn left (east) from the forest road ("Tutzinger Hütte") and take the path that again brings us a good 700m further to the Schmiedlaine. We follow the signs to the dilapidated Triftklause and thus arrive at the streambed.
Tour: We quickly reach the first and highest rappel (anchor on the right, rappel outside the beam). A few meters after the waterfall, you can climb up to the starting point on a clear track on the left (on older topographic views, a path is marked on the right). We soon come to the next waterfall. Here there is no anchor directly at the waterfall (2018 - but rappels from trees are possible on both sides). However, a knotted rope with a double belay (!) is anchored on the recessed rock face on the righthand side. This avoids the waterfall. This is followed by two short underground passages (optional). Now begins the first phase of a streambed hike with obstacles. After about 20 minutes, the next and last rappel follows (anchor on the right on the rock ledge, rappel outside the beam). This is followed by a good hour of tiring walking and climbing (many tree obstacles) in the streambed until you reach the mouth of the Schmiedlaine into the Lainbach.

Kronburger Tobel: Canyon Start
2025-09-08: All found well, the tracks of the flood are still very impressive.

Approach: From the P we head to the bridge to check waterlevels and find a small, very straightforward trail on the orographic R with many viewpoints into the canyon and possible intermediate entrances. Your loss if you choose not to do the upper canyon. We continue steep, neglecting the panoramic hiking trail, until we reach a tunnel (road on our left). After the tunnel we continue 100m to easily descend into the river bed, backtracking these 100m to the start of the canyon.
Tour: Multiple intermediate entrances exist that are only interesting for commercial tours, described here is the full tour. The entrance abseil originally was from a tree (at the exit of the approach tunnel). Now, an anchor is to be found on a large boulder R. Best not to pull back the rope yet, but check the state of the anchor on the second and highest abseil (+-30m) of the tour (R, two glue-in bolts, damaged since many years). A continuous string of smaller abseils follow, some of which are newer (2022-2024) and well-protected, recommended is to stay in the rope, to access the anchors. The lower canyon is excessively bolted, and often with fixed ropes. Two emergency exits now, one L and another R with fixed rope to ascend and reach the bridge in 5 min.

Approach: From the parking lot back to the main road, turn left on it for approx. 200 m, then (510 m above sea level) follow the mule track to the right in a WNW uphill direction (white-red markings), turn right at the junction (left "MTB"). We walk uphill, from the left below comes a path with white-red markings, we continue uphill to about 650 m above sea level. Here, at a large cairn, continue uphill on the ridge to about 750m above sea level. Keep right here and descend over a rocky but tree-covered flank into the stream, which we reach a few meters above the C 30.You can also enter at 625 m above sea level if you do not continue uphill at the large cairn, but descend essentially horizontally, finally steeply down into the streambed.
Tour: If you want to go Rio Deseno from the top (1375 m a.s.l.), you have 3 hours of ascent and 11 hours of descent ahead of you. Thus, the exploration of an intermediate entrance has offered itself. Even so, it is still a day trip with over 20 rappel.

Approach: From Uresso go up along the river in the direction of Croveo, then cross on a bridge to the other (orographic left) bank. Continue up the stream to the dam (with a house) and then up hairpin bends to the Baceno-Croveo road. At the Croveo town sign, turn left again at a chapel/signpost. You meet a path that comes from a bridge over the Devero (from the left). Follow this to the right and after a few minutes you will reach the entry at the first rappel point (C3) - a total of about 25 minutes.\nFor those who find it too aquatic here, you can follow the course of the stream along the bank and after about 100 m on the orographic right side you will reach the water drainage and thus the drier part of the descent.
Tour: First swim canyon to the water drainage. From the right, enter the vertical part. At this rappel(C15)- tape loop on tree 10 m above the edge (2006)- rope retrival difficult, therefore make from the ledge 3 m above the pool (at the same time small jumps). The rope retrival on the next (15m) rappel is also difficult. At the next but one possible jumps from 12 m or 9 m height.\nAlso in the wide streambed still possible jumps.

Approach: At 290 m above sea level, we leave the old town to the south (marker "3") and follow the footpath that runs along the left bank of the Roya. After about 400 m, turn left onto a path towards Vésaire and Serre de Pozzo at marker "105" by a small chapel. We pass the houses of Vésaire (approx. 25 min.) and continue uphill above the Vallon de Carleva. After about 1.5 hours from Breil, you cross a side valley. The path now heads south-east and after a further 20 min. reaches a fork (850 m above sea level) on the right down to the Carleva (information board). You can shorten the access and descent by taking one of the paths on the right down into the streambed.
Tour: Many slides and jumps (the T 19 is dangerous because you can violently scrape against the wall before entering the pool). A lot of walking, a series of small rappel.

2025-08-17: There are much nicer canyons in the area. We had very cloudy water, which only made many jumps/slides possible after checking it out
Approach: Follow path 391, which soon leads to an alpine meadow with several buildings. Immediately at the first building turn left (marking and path difficult to see) and climb left to the edge of the forest. Then on a beautiful path in many hairpin bends steeply uphill. When the path flattens out again, after crossing a mostly dry streambed, an unmarked path branches off to the left - this path first leads to the ruins of an old material cableway, then steeply down to the streambed of the Ciol della Val, which you reach 2 rappels before it flows into the Ciolesan. This access "saves" the 4 not very interesting rappels of the upper Ciol della Val, the required rope is then also reduced to 1x 40m: those who want to walk the stream from the top simply follow the marked path until it meets the Ciol della Val.
Tour: First sunny, open canyon, then from the tributary of the Ciolesan narrow and more spectacular. Some very tight rappel.

2025-06-20: Very short open canyon . Shuttling not necessary as the ascent is entertaining . Sufficiently large parking area at the top for several cars. Very well equipped with chain anchors and fixed ropes. Eme...
Approach: Entry is directly under the dam wall. Climb behind the road barrier to a left-hand bend just before the dam wall, climb under the guard rail and descend via a very steep but well-trodden path. You reach the canyon between two concrete steps. Either rappel 20m to the right or downclimb via a ladder. The path directly in front of the dam wall is forbidden, then turn right, pass the first iron gate on the left and climb past the second lower iron gate on the right. Then descend the paths into the canyon.
Tour: In the upper part there is first a repeatable 4.5m jump. Then a 6m or 9m jump (depending on the rappel) which can also be rappelled. The exit is a 25m waterfall, which can be rappelled dry from orographic left (30m) or through the jet from chain right (30m ropes for rappelling). You can also rappel here to a belay (3 bolts with slings) at a height of approx. 12m, seen from above to the right of the waterfall, and jump from there. The waterfall can also be jumped from the very top and has already been navigated by kayak. In summer, there are often several guided tours in the canyon at the same time at weekends and on public holidays and you should expect waiting times at the abseiling points. You can reach the area above the 25m waterfall again by crossing to the right after the large pool via a path into the rock basin (fixed ropes).

Kozjak: Canyon Start
2022-08-20: The second canyon of the day. We went up through the forest after the canyon so that we didn't have to pass the Billethäuschen.
2018-07-06: One of the most beautiful canyons in Slovenia, which offers a full canyoning adventure. We did it without using a rope, great conditions for jumping, but some pools need to be checked before.
Approach: Follow the marked path towards Kozjak waterfall. A few meters after a stone bridge over the Kozjak, turn left and follow a beautiful cart track uphill. After a first small pasture, a few steeper bends follow before you reach a second, larger pasture area. At first still on the wide path past the alpine houses until you reach a left turn under a low rock wall. Here follow the tracks to the right (in summer the first meters are quite overgrown, but the path soon improves). Follow this path, first horizontally, then descending, to the streambed of a side stream, which you follow to the confluence with the Kozjak. You can also enter the side stream - a few slides and a tree rappel about 5m.
Tour: The first waterfall can be slid or jumped (up to 10m). Shortly after a small slide and a 12m rappel - anchor on rock head in the middle of the river. After a bit of boulder climbing, you are faced with a 15m rappel that can be done from the right (old anchors) or from the left - probably also jumpable after checking the pool. Immediately after that you will find a 6m waterfall that can be rappelled or jumped. Up to the big waterfall swimming passages alternate with jumps up to 6m - scenically the narrow gorge with its beautiful rock folds also has a lot to offer. \The last waterfall is about 18m high, jumpable after control and falls into a huge green basin. Here also ends the well-visited tourist trail - so spectators are guaranteed. After a few 100m of hiking there is a nice 9m possible jumps under the stone bridge - the rest of the way to the Soca is uninteresting and should be bypassed on the hiking trail.

Access: Follow the road 203 to Kobarid. Coming from the north, turn right at the entrance to the town in the direction of Dreznica, cross the Soca by means of the Napoleon Bridge and then continue for about 300m in the direction of 'Kamp Koren'.\nLarge parking lot on the right. Alternatively, you can park in the area of camping Lazar on the opposite bank of the Soca.

Rio Tolina: Canyon Start
Approach: Go through some narrow streets to the Hotel Centrale, here follow the markings to the right. Climb steeply up a road with a driving ban to a small power station - entry here.
Tour: * 15m rappel from tree on the left * 4m downclimb * 20m rappel over two waterfall steps from anchors on the left, exit of the gorge and stream mouth from the left * 4m rappel from jammed tree trunk to the left of the big rock * Longer slippery hiking and abseiling section until the gorge narrows again (escape route to the right). * 8m rappel from tree on the right * nice 3m slide * 2m jump * 7m rappel from anchor with chain link on the right - a chain anchor is located far to the right on the gorge wall but is hardly accessible * 15m rappel from 8mm anchor on the right (set by us). After 7m on the right a chain anchor that is hardly accessible from above * 15m from a tree with a sling on the left * 6m rappel via clamping block - chain anchor far back on the right * Large pipe on the right, we broke off here and climbed about 50m to the road above. But the gorge went on. According to my information, there should be no rappels > 15m, but apparently a lot has changed in the gorge. It is therefore better to enter with enough ropes and complete drilling equipment. The commercial tour that is currently still open apparently starts AND exits further up.

Approach: Follow the road to its exit and follow the marked path at an information board (marker "130"). The newly renovated footpath first leads southeast along the slope, later winding up through the forest to a prominent shoulder where the view opens up to the east. Shortly after this point, turn right off the previous path on a path and cross slightly downwards to the streambed of the Peira.
Tour: Attractive rappel canyon when water is flowing (visible at the road bridge, where you can also see the last high rappel); scenic access. Initially just a forest gorge with small slides and rappels before you reach the first high step. Right via hand ropes to the actual anchor on the right of the edge (50m, exposed). After three low rappels, one of which is jumpable, you are in front of the second high rappel, which is the key point of the tour. Either descend 60m in one or rappel about 15-20m to a hidden belay below the uppermost sinter terrace, the tempting-looking belay above can only be reached via a windy root deviation. Then rappel 45-40m from the intermediate belay to the pool below the waterfall. Beautiful passages with some possible jumps then lead to the last high waterfall. Either rappel 60m in one rappel or abseil 15m+45m from a hidden but comfortable intermediate belay on the left.

Approach: From the parking lot, walk about 100m to the pedestrian bridge with the "Cadramazzo" hiking sign. Cross this and continue right on the path, past the highway parking lot to the bike path. Here you follow the trail 619 Patocco/Raccolana (on the left) steeply uphill until you reach the wayside shrine. Immediately behind the wayside shrine, you enter the stream for about 500m (wooden beams with rope traverse).
Tour: The canyon begins immediately with a sharp 55m abseil. To get safely to the belay station (left), it is best to use the chain anchor on the large boulder to set up a removable rope traverse. The stand consists of 2 new bolts via which rappels are made in the water. The arrival pool is large and usually heavily gravelled. The second and final 40m abseil point is already waiting at the left edge of the pool. Mostly watched by onlooking cyclists, you rappel left in the water jet, alternatively right outside the water flow. (old belaystation on the right! ). Exit at approx. 400m.

Comment: Große Parkbucht rechts
Access: From Tarvisio on the SS13 or A23 highway to the Pontebba exit. Then follow the canal valley southwards. Approx. 1.5km after the houses of Vidali you will see a pedestrian bridge over the Fella. Approx. 100m after this there is a parking lot at road kilometer 187V (right). Park here.
Return: 1st variation: Downclimb the last meters/steps to the Fella. Once at the Fella, look for a suitable place to cross the river. It is best to aim for the bridge over the stream that flows into the river a little further down. Climb up here briefly and follow the disused road back to the parking lot at road kilometer 187V. 2nd variation: After the 2nd rappel, follow the blue dots back to the foot suspension bridge. This saves you having to cross the fell if there is too much water.

You can start here if you only want to walk the lower part. For the more rewarding upper part, continue along the forest road for another 20 minutes until you reach the stream after a forester's lodge, which seeps away directly above the canyon.
Tour: The upper part is a forest gorge with some narrow gorges. There are tree obstacles and plenty of downclimbs - only the highest drops are equipped with 10 mm expansion bolts. On a reconnaissance tour during the snowmelt, this part was carrying water - but the rest of the year it is apparently dry. In 2014, large parts of this part were completely overgrown and therefore no longer worthwhile. After the bridge, there are 4 more abseils of 20m, 10m, 25m (expansion hook on clamping block on the right) and 32m (chain at the top left) before you reach the mouth of the Mürz. After a water gauge house, an aluminum staircase leads out of the streambed to the parking lot.

Mesu: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the sign "Mitz 'e Toguru" and take the path to the east. A somewhat larger mule track follows, which first leads us across a small stream to bring us to the entry a little later (see also "Overview" in "Photo Gallery").
Tour: Walking, downclimbing and 4 steps (C12 - R15 - C8 - T5).

Mesu: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: Parkplatz für Zustieg und Rückmarsch
Access: As for Gutturu Fenugu (see there). If you want to walk Riu de Mesu in combination with Gutturu Fenugu (recommended), the parking place for the exit remains the same as for Gutturu Fenugu. \However, if you want to limit the tour to the Riu de Mesu part, you can park the car for the exit where you parked the car for the access to Gutturu Fenugu. However, in this case it is not necessary to move the car, because it is also possible to return to the car for the access.\nIn order to park the car for the access, one continues on the slope for another 1.7 km and arrives at a large round parking area for the (possibly upper) car "P1" (see also "Overview" in "Photo Gallery").\n
Return: Where a mule track crosses the stream at 635m, we can get off, unless we want to continue the tour in Gutturu Fenugu (see there). If we have only one car and we parked it at "P3" or "P3a", we get off on the mule path up to the right. It will take us first back to the entry and then on the access path back to the parking lot (see also "Overview" in "Photo Gallery").

Comment: Ausstiegsparkplatz (hier kommt der Pfad zur Straße, der bei dem markaten Baum am rechten Flussufer beginnt)
Access: We leave the highway N2 south of the bridge over the Rivière du Mât and head for the "Cascade du Chien". In a prominent left turn we park the car for the exit -.see google sketch under photos!\n1,5 km further we come to the viewpoint on the high waterfall.\nDepending on the access variant we park the upper car about 200 - 400m after.
Return: After we have followed the river in nerd direction for about 1 hour, it describes a 90 degree bend to the left. About 250m further on then again an 80 degree bend to the right (north). Here a brook flows in from the left. Before reaching this creek mouth, a cairn on a large boulder marks the exit. A track goes up over the ridge and brings us in a wide arc to the parking lot of the lower car.

2024-05-07: Most of the former possible jumps are (currently) no longer jumpable.
2023-11-10: Unfortunately too much water for the upper part so only walked the lower short section.
Approach: Backtrack a bit along the road and descend to the right via a forest path to the stream (clear tracks). Hike in the shallow gravel bed to the beginning of the gorge.
Tour: From the right about 22m rappel over the scree barrier, then several waterfalls that are jumpable and slippable after control (4m, 8m, 6m) in narrow gorge. This part ends in a beautiful rock basin with natural bridge, the Grotta Azzura. Afterwards, a section of hiking in an open canyon before another section of canyons before the road bridge.

Rio Plere: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the wide path between the buildings towards the canyon. The path leads down to a spring catchment. Get in there.
Tour: Secured to trees. The water drainage in the middle of the canyon takes a good 3/4 of the water flow. If the last waterfall has plenty of water, the upper part is not safe to walk on. You can also only walk the lower part with the large waterfall. A path leads from the lower parking lot to the water drainage.

Access: From Tolmezzo, take the SS52 towards Villa Santina. Before reaching the village, turn right towards Invilino and continue towards Verzegnis. After crossing the Fella, there is a parking lot on the right (signs Cascata Plera, war bunker) Parking entry: Continue to Verzegnis and follow the road towards Sella Chianzutan until a road branches off to the right towards Assais/Dassais. Follow this road to its exit at a large building in a meadow saddle.
Return: In case of lack of water in the lower part, get off at the water drainage and follow the path back to the lower car otherwise continue along the gorge until the last waterfall and from there follow the path further to the car

Mascun (Inferior): Canyon Start
2025-05-26: Somehow rather the exit from the superiore ;-) ...but nice to wander out
2024-03-17: Just doing the inferiore doesn't make sense in my opinion. It's nice, but more like hiking than canyoning. Very scenic and impressive.
Approach: In Rodellar, follow the signs to Barranco Mascun. We descend to the stream, cross it and reach the spring on the right. Continuing northwards, we pass the Bco Fornocal de Andrebot, where we climb towards Barrasil and Gorgas Negras and then, after a long stretch on the orographic left bank, we come to the point where the path crosses the stream to go up the other side towards Otin. However, we stay down here and start the actual ascent of the Mascun inferiore by climbing further up over the confluence of the Bco. Otin up to the point where the Mascun superiore opens up after its last narrow section with the last rappel. Alternatively, it is also possible to climb up to the abandoned village of Otin and then descend via the shoulders north of the Bco. de Otin on the other side of the path into the Bco. Mascun. Depending on your mood and physical condition, you can then climb up to the left or - in high summer, possibly after a dip in the karst spring at the foot of the Otin - hike back towards Rodellar.
Tour: Most of the time you walk, some longer pools have to be swum through when the water is flowing, including under the "El Beso" (the kiss). There is chaos to overcome, more difficult passages can be avoided, e.g. after the waterfall that pours down from the Otin. The ascent finally exits at the last rappel of the Mascun Superior. After a well-earned break, you return along the approach route.

2025-07-01: The access is strenuous, especially as you should have quite a lot of ropes with you for the tour. Nevertheless, it is a really beautiful and rewarding hike through the Gesäuse with good rope protecti...
Approach: Follow the marked waterfall path to the Hesshütte. After the last insurance, follow the path for about 5 minutes until just before the Ebersangerbach. Just before this, you can descend/rappel through steep but fairly easy forest terrain into the rocky basin above the waterfalls. Aim for the large larch tree on the edge of the wall to the left of the stream. Can be combined with a visit to the Hess hut (walking time from entry approx. 1 hour).
Tour: Orographic tour description: * 1-2 tree abseils approx. 15m over ledges and ledges to the large larch tree * From the large larch rappel 30m into the bottom of the gorge. * Stand to the left of the waterfall (1 bolt+rapid link+ring) 25m. * Gravelly walking terrain 50m, best to descend orographic right of the stream. * Stand behind boulder next to stream on the right (Bolt-Rapid) 35m (Can be bypassed, up to here escape possibilities on the left). You can also rappel 20m and then rappel 10m from one of the trees orographic right of the stream. * Stand on the right in an alcove directly next to the stream (Bolt+Rapid) 50m. * Stand left (Bolt+Rapid) 20m. * Bolt+Rapid orographic right 6m to the actual edge * Stand left at the edge (chain anchor) 100m exactly to the bottom. (3 intermediate stands, each after 30 or 50 m and 65m left) The belay after 30m is a chain anchor on a fairly comfortable ledge with enough space for 3 people, slightly offset to the left. At 50m, there are two stands in the fall line from the top stand that look pretty worn out. From the intermediate belay at 30m you could reach a slightly better belay in a small rock niche. After 65m there is another new hanging belay on two bolts, quite damp if there is water. * 80 m walk. * Stand on the right (bolt+sling+ring) 10 m (possibly take new reepschnur) * 10m walk. * Stand left (bolt+sling+ring) 10m . * Downclimb two steps, stance left not found. * Stand left (1x bolt with fixed carabiner, 1x bolt with ring) 80m to the waterfall path. After 15m there is a new anchor with rapid on the left directly on the edge. Very wet when the water is flowing, room for 1 person. Sharp edge after 15m, take rope protectors with you

Rio Del Mulin Chiusaforte: Canyon Start

2024-07-05: Everything is ok, the highest rappel is exactly 62m, so plan enough ropes. The access path is infested with ticks, 16 on one person.
Approach: From the parking lot go left towards the houses below the visible waterfall (Rio Belepeit). Here, however, not directly to the waterfall but on the road further up to the last white house (No. 25). An inconspicuous path passes the liquid gas tank on the right in front of the house and leads shortly to the small concrete bridge (exit Rio del Mulin). After the bridge, the trail climbs more steeply. At the point where yellow markings (arrows) become visible, follow the easily overlooked path over the ridge of the forest (do not follow the yellow markings. These lead to the last part of the Rio del Mulin) up to path 425. Follow the path until the fork. Here continue up steeply on the right via trail 426 (do not follow blue markers to Rio Belepeit). After a few steep switchbacks, the trail flattens out. Here it is also possible to descend or enter the already visible stream. Entrance altitude approx. 780m.
Tour: Shortly after the entry at about 780m comes the first step where you can rappel left over a tree. After that comes a longer walking and descending section over boulder terrain. The next 2 smaller steps can ideally also be slid. This is followed by an approx. 18m high rappel in the watercourse. After the waterfall comes a short walking section that leads to a sloping crevasse. Here you rappel to the left to the Zwisschenstand in the crevice and then immediately continue to rappel into a pool. After a small jump comes a 10m step. A short walking and abseiling section leads to the 1st high waterfall of about 60m. Here either rappel right from the tree directly in the waterfall or after about 15m use the intermediate stand on the right. After that there is a rappel (20m) left from the tree into a shallow pool. After this step you meet the hiking trail 425. With a beautiful view of the Kanaltal you abseil left about 15m from a tree into a pool which is before the high 50m abseil point. Here you rappel from a tree loop on the right. After the rappel there is a step which is divided again. Here you have after about 15m an intermediate stand (danger of pendulum!) to then rappel further about 20m. A short downclimb and walking passage follows, which leads to the last high waterfall of about 55m (! sharp edge) (before the waterfall you meet the path with the yellow markings on the left). After rappeling from the tree loop on the left, you are almost at the access path/concrete bridge at approx. 420m.

From here we take the path further uphill, cross the stream from the Surcruns canyon a little later and then ascend in serpentines, always staying on the orographic left side of the stream, initially to an altitude of around 2040m. Here the path forks. On the left, a branch walks towards the stream and crosses it on a bridge. If we walked here, we would reach the middle entry point at a bridge at an altitude of 2000m via an alpine pasture. However, if we have chosen the upper entry, we continue on the right branch up the orographic left hand of the Val Camutschera (as on the access to Surcruns). At an altitude of 2106m we come to a fork again. The access to Surcruns leads straight north uphill here, but we go left and cross the stream. At an altitude of 2170m we also come to an alpine pasture. Here we leave the path to the left and follow a track that descends slightly towards the streambed of the Aua Tschanonca. At a suitable point, we descend into the streambed without a path. If we only have the lower - more interesting - parts in mind for an ascent, an access option has already been described above. According to the available topo map, however, it is apparently also possible to ascend from the end of the valley on the orographic left slope of our canyon and thus reach the mentioned bridge at 2000m altitude at the access point for the lower part (see maps in photo gallery).
Tour: In the first part 6-8 smaller rappels, partly in the beam, plus downclimbs and also walking passages. The second part begins under the stone arch bridge with a few possible jumps and 4 smaller rappels before you reach the 75m drop which, together with the neighboring canyon that joins here, forms the "Cathedral of Bargis". After a changeover, there is still a 51m rappel. Then the descent comes to an exit.

Tschanonca: Canyon End
Return: First downstream, best along the left edge of the stream, then left out onto the path and down to Bargis

Tschanonca: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Same approach as to Lavadignas and Surcruns: From Chur we drive via Trins-Mulins to Flims. There we take the road to the right uphill towards Fidaz and Bargis almost at the beginning of the village. After passing Fidaz, we come to a large parking lot where we park our car (1245m altitude). We continue up to Bargis either by bus, by bike or on foot (about 1 hour). See also in photo gallery Lavadignas.
Return: First downstream, best along the left edge of the stream, then left out onto the path and down to Bargis

Approach: Follow the road for about 200m in the direction of San Donato and at a concrete power pole turn right onto a narrow path. Follow this path until you reach a meadow above a building and descend, keeping to the right, on a path that is initially unclear. After about 200m descend on a clearly visible path to the left into the canyon. Entry at ford above a 5m waterfall.
Tour: Somewhat tricky jump over the 5m waterfall then hiking and downclimbing until the canyons narrows. After climbing over a few tree obstacles follows a long gorge section on bedrock with jumps and slides up to 4m. The scenery here is reminiscent of the Vajo dell Orsa. After a jump follows a longer open hiking section with small jumps before you stand in front of the high waterfall. Do not jump into the pool in front of the waterfall, but cross to the right for about 40m on wooded ribbon until you find a multi-trunked tree with a rope loop. Keeping left for 20m (i.e. in the direction of the waterfall) rappel onto another wide band and from another tree loop rappel 40m freely hanging down into the pool. After that another nice 6m jump before you can ascend left onto a hiking trail.

Approach: Immediately by the bridge into the stream.
Tour: An entertaining descent with numerous rappels begins. There are also slides and possible jumps. Towards the bottom, the canyon opens up and the descent ends with two longer rappels (over 20m each) at the edge of wider rock falls. After a final 26m rappel, the exit ends.

Return: A few meters further, then a path leads up to the road on the right. On this then right up to the car. During the ascent from the streambed we also cross a path that descends slightly to the left. If we were to follow it down, we would come to the approach road a little above the water reservoir. Down here you can park - if you have - a lower vehicle and save a significant part of the return to the car above. We can also get to the reservoir with a car parked there if we take the path immediately after the last rappel, which leads orographic. down to the left of the stream (best variant).If one has only the car on top, the driver can go up without luggage and get the car, the others go down to the reservoir.

Access: From Ripoll we go south on the C-17 for about 2 km (from the town center) towards Vic, then we turn right on the C-26 towards Les Lloses, Borreda, Berga and after 29.9 km we reach the town of Vilada. Here we turn right in a right turn before the town towards Castell de l'Areny. We now take the road north for 4.3 km, then we leave the road to the left at a water reservoir just before the road bridge, and then we continue uphill for another 3.1 km, finally high above the canyon. Then we stand on a small bridge over "our" stream (entry).

Approach: In the mentioned bend, go up on a barely recognizable dirt road, later across meadows in a northerly direction until you reach a barn. Pass it on the right, continue to a path that crosses the slope over a water pipe (not visible) and climbs steadily towards the streambed (approx. 300 m). The path turns slightly to the right. Before it starts to climb a little more, go down to the left to the streambed of the Espones.
Tour: Only a few small rappels, but some tricky downclimbs when there is a good flow of water.

Approach: We take the track, which initially heads east and then bends to the right (south) after about 100 m. First through fields, we later head SW towards the streambed of the Rio Seco. 70 m after the bridge, we turn left off the track and take the dirt road, later a path, which crosses the Rio Seco again and then heads south along its left bank. Before the path heads east, we descend to the right into the streambed and follow the trail to the first narrow section (entry)
Tour: After the first narrow section and a running section in or next to the stream, we cross a second narrow section and then come to the Rio Cajigar. We walk downstream in the calmly rippling water, cross under a clamping block and come to the rock jam that marks the beginning of the canyon proper. We rappel down into the gorge (3 rappels) and enjoy the pools, the possible jumps, the rock formations and the ambience. Where the stream loses itself in a wide gravel bed, we climb out to the right onto a dirt path.

Access: From Barbastro on the N-123, in the direction of Benabarre, Graus. We drive through the narrow section (Congosto) of the Rio Èsera. After 20.9 km from Barbastro - T - junction N-340/N-123 in the south of the town - the A-139 turns north towards Graus. We stay on the N-123 here, driving south along the reservoir and after another 16.4 km we come to the N-230 in the south of Benabarre. On the N-230, we first head north for a short distance, then east. After 6.3 km (from Benabarre) we see a pig farm (?) on the right, 2.7 km before the Torla exit. We turn right off the N-230 here and park our car where it won't get in the way. It would also be possible to drive to the canyon exit, but it is hardly worth it.
Return: We take this road to the right and it leads us straight back to our car on the N-230.

Cajigar: Waypoint
Comment: Confluence Riu Sec / Cajigar (descente)
Approach: We take the track, which initially heads east and then bends to the right (south) after about 100 m. First through fields, we later head SW towards the streambed of the Rio Seco. 70 m after the bridge, we turn left off the track and take the dirt road, later a path, which crosses the Rio Seco again and then heads south along its left bank. Before the path heads east, we descend to the right into the streambed and follow the trail to the first narrow section (entry)

Approach: From the car about 750 m back on the road (downstream) to a prominent road widening. Here we take the wide hiking trail (GR, red-white marking), which leads us in about 15 min. up to a striking rock formation (to the left - possibly occupied by vultures). Here we leave the GR that goes up to the right and continue straight ahead at about the same altitude (sometimes sloping a bit) for about 30 min. until we reach the clearly visible edge of "our" barranco. While the path now descends into it, we keep on indistinct climbing tracks on its origraf. left edge upwards and thus come to the clearly recognizable entry.
Tour: 12 rappel, emergency exit left on the run after the 5th rappel

Return: The exit can be difficult. If the Rio Èsrera has low water (the rule below a barrage), you cross the road and water pipe in a tunnel and then the river to the other bank. Cross back over the Èsera below the narrow section, climb up to the road and follow it downstream to the car. Since around 2018, you have been spared this detour because there is an exit directly to the road at the canyon exit on the right.

Approach: Continue on the slope for about 2.5 km, then the slope crosses the streambed of the Trigas (entry).

Trigas: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Castejon de Sos in the Valle de Benasque, we drive south on the A-139 towards Graus, Barbastro. After 7 km, we turn right at the houses of La Catalana onto the HU-V-6411 and drive up via Seira in the direction of Barbaruens. 6.3 km after crossing the Rio Esera, a forest road branches off to the right in a long left-hand bend (information boards). We park our first car here for the exit. In the second car we drive further up to Barbaruens (almost 2 km). 100 m before reaching the village, we turn left onto a dirt road that leads uphill - steeply in places. At a fork (about 2.8 km from Barbaruens) we turn right and reach the streambed of the Arroyo de Bilse. From here on, you have to make your own judgment as to where the car can go on the deteriorating track (otherwise park the car and continue on foot). About 1.4 km after passing the Bilse, we come to some small huts where we park the second car.
Return: We get off on the bridge and walk the path south to the lower car.

Bilsé: Canyon Start
Approach: We take the trail (red/white markings) that goes up parallel to the Barranco Bilsé to the east. We cross 2, mostly dry, streambeds and later climb steeply uphill. At the top, the trail flattens out and we come to a prominent 3-trunked deciduous tree. Here we leave the path and look northeast of it for the entry into the Barranco Bilsé.\nYou can also continue a little further on the, path until it crosses the streambed and enter there.
Tour: 7 rappels, varied descent, running routes and downclimbs. The water flow gradually decreases. Optional 45 m rappel at the end, see "way back".

Return: After the 12m rappel and a 5m step that is climbed, we come to a path that crosses the streambed (1420m old). We take this path to the right and walk down the access path to the car. Alternatively, you can continue along the Barranco Bilsé and immediately come to a 43m rappel (from a tree). Then walk down the streambed for about 500 m to reach the track that crosses the streambed. Follow this to the right to the car. In this case 2x50m of ropes are needed.

Approach: From the parking lot at Humo de Tierrantona (= El Humo de Muro), take the dirt road west down to the river.
Tour: You then walk in the open riverbed for about half an hour until you reach the first narrowing and thus the attractive part of the canyon. From here it is attractive and ideal for a walk with children.

Return: You can either go back in the riverbed or bypass the narrow part on the orographic right side via a path. This way you get back to the parking lot.

Balata: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the dirt road about 1700 m and come to a saddle that gives a view of the main ridge of the Pyrenees. Here now beyond (initially in the direction of NE) downhill. After another 1500 m (approximately) we reach the deepest point of the slope, before it rises again to the Ermita San Victorián, 150m away. If we don't have a second vehicle available, we come here on the well-marked hiking trail PR-Hu 159 from Abizanda. We now follow this path in a southwesterly direction, cross the Bco. de San Victorián after a while and, after an erosion area, descend without a path at a suitable point to the right into the stream.
Tour: Thus, the descent begins in a left tributary of the Bco.de San Victoriàn and continues in it. Also the main stream into which the Bco. San Victorián flows into is probably no longer called Bco. del Rio, but Barranco Moliniecho. Balata is the name of the village located to the west of the access - beyond the ridge. The stream is only worthwhile - if one disregards the scenic - when there is water flow (spring or after rainfall). In the Bco. Moliniecho we come across a nice rappel after a longer walk, but it can also be bypassed to the right. A connection with the rewarding Bco. del Rio below the village of Abizanda offers itself.

Here we park the second vehicle.

Cedro (inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: Either Cedro(s) med. "upstream" (for access at E1 or E2 cf. then there) or from P3 on the trail PR3SJO down to E3, see Google aerial photo in "Photo Gallery".
Tour: 10 rappel in the lower part, see also photos & videos

Cedro (inferiore): Canyon End
Return: Arrived at the coast, you have theoretically 3 possibilities:\n1. Pick up by boat (must be organized; only possible in calm seas)\n2. Along the coast in a westerly direction. This involves swimming a short distance (about 30m) during high tide, which is also only possible when the sea is calm. Also during low tide a passage at the waterline can be impossible in stronger swell. In this case the only option is to climb over the rocks. This is not easy, also because the ground is slippery. When you reach the mouth of the Cavaletes at the houses, take the trail PR3SJO to the right (eastward) up to P3, (the second section is then identical to the approach trail).\n3. The 3rd possibility of an exit with return is identical to the second with the difference that upon reaching the mouth of the Cavaletes at the houses, the trail PR3SJO is continued in a westerly direction close to the coast until you reach the car at P4.

Approach: We take the path to the "Fuentes de Fornos" (= "Fuentes Blancas") and follow the red and white markings of the GR-15 towards Saravillo. We go up for quite a while along the orographic right bank of the Garona (about 45 min.). There, where the Garona flows in a right angle to our slope side, we cross the Rio Irues, which flows in here, to the southern bank of the Irues. The path now walks along the orographic left bank of the Garona, but we turn left about 50 m after the river crossing and take a path that goes uphill in an easterly direction. We pass the upper springs "de Fornos" and walk on until the view of the Rio Irues and the "El-Chorro" spring at the foot of the other side of the slope opens up to us. Here we enter the path.
Tour: First a narrow dark gorge with slippery rocks, smaller rappels, swimming sections and some possible jumps. We overcome a stone chaos. Then the spray cascades down from the left slope of the Fornos springs. Afterwards the canyon shows itself as a hiking canyon. So we walk out to the place where we had crossed the Rio Irues on the way there.

Access: We drive north on the A-138 from Ainsa in the direction of Bielsa. We pass through Labuerda and Escalona to reach the bridge over the Rio Yaga (17 km from Ainsa, town center), where the Miraval canyon ends. We continue along the reservoir Embalse de Laspuña to Lafortunada (19.7 km from Ainsa, town center to here). Here we turn right, cross the bridge over the Rio Cinca and now park right in front of the village of Badan.
Return: Here, turn right onto the approach path and follow it back to the car.

Approach: On foot follow the slope north up the slope. After 25 min. and about 50 m before a rightward haipin bend, a clearly visible path on the left (by a cairn) leads to the stream in 1 min. On the left bank go forward a bit until you reach a huge boulder ( entry lower part).
Tour: Due to the lack of great depth views, it is also recommended for those who are afraid of heights. 9-11 rappel in uninterrupted succession. In summer, the stream can probably dry up - like so many in the Spanish Pyrenees. Conversely, even a high water level should hardly cause really serious problems.

Access: On probably the fastest way to the Sierra de Guara - from Toulouse through the tunnel of Bielsa to Ainsa and Barbastro - is Bielsa shortly after the Spanish border.\nOn the onward journey we see 4 km south of the end of the town - the road here runs along the left bank of the Rio Cinca - on the left (east) a waterfall with a small parking bay on the side of the road. 500 m further, before the next bridge over the Rio Cinca, turn onto a small gravel road on the left bank and continue downstream for 200 m; park here by remains of an old bridge.
Return: After the last waterfall on the path first right then left bank to the road, along this back to the car.

Return: After the last drop, which is clearly recognizable as such, turn right and follow the footprints to the bridge and the car.

Angones: Canyon Start
Approach: We take the footpath below the church, which goes WNW around the slope, then crosses the Bco, Consusa, goes around the next slope and reaches the Angones.
Tour: About 20 rappel, see photos and video!

Angones: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We head north on the A-138 from Ainsa towards Bielsa. We pass through Labuerda and Escalona to reach the bridge over the Rio Yaga, where the Miraval canyon ends - 17 km from Ainsa, town center. We pass the hamlet of Hospital and 450 m after the bridge over the Rio Yaga we turn left uphill at an acute angle towards Tella, Revilla. We continue steadily uphill, leaving the turnoff to Tella on the right after 5.7 km, and continue towards Revilla, arriving there after another 5.8 km.
Return: After reaching the Garganta de Escuain and the Rio Yaga, take the path downstream (possibly "taking the Escuain inf.) and then left up to the road (see description for the Garganta de Escuain). Once on the road, turn left and walk 900m to Revilla. A way back that does not go through the Garganta Escuain is marked in wikiloc.es (map) (not verified).

Angones: Canyon End
Return: After reaching the Garganta de Escuain and the Rio Yaga, take the path downstream (possibly "taking the Escuain inf.) and then left up to the road (see description for the Garganta de Escuain). Once on the road, turn left and walk 900m to Revilla. A way back that does not go through the Garganta Escuain is marked in wikiloc.es (map) (not verified).

Escuain (med): Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, a path leads downhill, especially at the beginning, in the direction of Escuain and Garganta de Escuain. We cross the stream of the Trasito (below a beautiful waterfall for rappel), cross the Consusa at its exit below an also very beautiful waterfall and then watch out for a fork where the path leads left down into the streambed of the Escuain and beyond up to the houses of Escuain. However, we turn right here and walk first high above the riverbed of the Rio Yaga first in a northerly direction.
Tour: Now we are already in our hiking canyon. The path is repeatedly interrupted by small climbs (not difficult). Then we come to the exit of the parts where you can make a short rappel canyon from above (own description: "Escuain inferiore") and bypass this part on the north-eastern slope in the coppice. We come back to the river bed - to the left would take us downstream to the aforementioned rappel canyon, but we continue upstream. We pass an interesting accumulation of boulders with a waterfall, pass the mouth of the Bco. Angones (see separate description) and finally come to the point where the strong karst spring breaks out of the mountain at the top right, orographic left. Here you can easily climb up and penetrate through the wide mouth of the cave into the interior of the mountain until the darkness and the sound of the water cause the more timid among us to turn back. You could walk further upstream along the Rio Yaga, then meet a path leading from the hamlet of Revilla across the streambed and take this to the right back to the car. Alternatively, you can go back the way you came and reach the waterfall with the unique pool below a few meters after the wall in the riverbed that has been destroyed by the water. There are several ways to rappel here, but the highlight is a jump of around 13 meters. If you don't want to do both, continue back along the approach path and meet the "jumpers" where the path from the village of Escuain comes down from the right. Incidentally, the jump can be repeated at will by walking downstream and then following the well-trodden tracks on the left up to the path. In summer, the large pool and other pools further down the Rio Yaga are full of bathers. A beautiful spot.

Escuain (med): Canyon End
Return: We go downstream from the pool for about 100 m to the place where the path coming down from the hamlet of Escuain crosses the river. We take this path to the left and come back up to the car on our access path.

Approach: The entry is most useful via this side stream, see description there, Alternatively, we continue on the road for about 100 m, then turn right onto a path (sign "Sercue") that leads down from the road in a northerly direction to the Puente de la Espucialla over the Rio Aso (Viandico) - entry.
Tour: First - at least in summer - dry canyon, then abundant water flow due to a karst spring. A few rappels that can usually be jumped.

Access: We drive north on the A-138 from Ainsa in the direction of Bielsa. After 10 km (from the center of Ainsa) we cross the Rio Bellós and then pass through the village of Escalona. 350m after the bridge we turn at the traffic circle in northwestern direction ("Fanlo" - "Anisclocanyon") on the HU-631. We drive always along the river (Rio Bellós), we come into the canyon, the road leads partly high along the wall and after 13,2 km we come to a bigger parking area in a hairpin bend to the left. Here we park our (possibly lower) car.\nHere is also an alternative approach on better, especially wider road. For this purpose, 1.9 km after the mentioned traffic circle in the north of Escalona, we turn left on the road to Buerba and Vio. We first drive past the campsite and then 12 km up to Buerba. Past the village, up over the saddle (with a beautiful view into the Anisclo canyon) and beyond in sepentines downhill. 4.4 km after Buerba we meet HU-631 at an acute angle, on which we turn right (in a southeasterly direction). If we have only 1 car available, it would be recommended that all but the driver get off here (including luggage) and let the driver continue alone to the aforementioned parking lot in the hairpin bend. The driver will come to this parking lot after 1.6 km.\n\nFrom the parking lot we now go - with a second car or on foot - (again) up the HU-632 - there is also a shortcut of the wide road loop on a footpath in the direction WNW uphill -, after 1.6 km you join if necessary with the group of those dropped off here and it goes another 800m to the bridge over the side stream - Barranco Flageto/Metils/Malaguero. Here we can park our second car, if we have one available.

Return: It would be theoretically conceivable to walk the Rio Aso upstream to the Puente de la Espucialla and there take the path to the left up to the road and to the car. But then the canyon would not be worthwhile at all. Since it is used as access to Viandico, once you reach the streambed of the Rio Aso, you go downstream (Barranco Viandico - see there).

Approach: At the southwestern end of the bridge, we take the path that goes downstream on the southern bank of the Rio Ara - Garganta de los Navarros. We cross "our" stream and can look at the "Salto del Carpin" in peace from below. We continue downstream until, after about 200 m, an old mule track on the right goes up at a sharp angle towards Puerto del Cebollar. The trail approaches the Bco. Cebollar and goes up its orographic right slope. Where it crosses the stream, we enter.
Tour: 9 - 10 rappel. The Salto del Carpin at the exit of the tour (120 m) can be rappelled with 70 m from the "stand" on the left of the wall on a wide band. From the orographic. right belaystation it is possible to reach a relay (of which there are several here) above the ribbon, in order to get onto the ribbon from there.

Approach: It goes orographic up the right bank of the mentioned Bco. At about 1420 m altitude the path bends to the NE. After possible difficulties with finding the path, we come to the Forronias at an underground water drainage (entry). See: *
Tour: Approx. 15 rappels; first 7 dry rappels, then to the right a spring that cannot aliment the streambed in summer. After another 4 rappels, the descent then becomes more aquatic, as on the right a karst spring presses its water from the rock face. From here 3 more rappels and we come to the final chord, the overhanging 42 m - rappel. Then down in the scree streambed until we can exit to the right onto the slope.

Comment: für den herkömmlichen Einstieg
Access: From Pamplona in the direction of Huesca on the A21. After approx. 16 km we pass the last exit before Monreal. At the next exit, i.e. after Monreal, we leave the A21 onto the NA234 in a westerly direction. After a little more than 1 km on a narrow, straight road, you cross the Rio Elorz. Immediately after the bridge, turn left and take the new Canal de Navarra up to the hamlet of Yamoz. Park the lower vehicle here by the church. The conventional access road to the canyon exit is still there, but is difficult to find after the road and canal construction work that has taken place here and cannot be mastered with a normal car. The second vehicle takes us back towards the A21. Before reaching the highway, we turn right and drive to Monreal. Turn right again there and follow the signs for Higa. We cross the Rio Elorz again (the medieval bridge on the right). After that, the road paths upwards. We follow the very evenly ascending road in a north-westerly direction and after a while it becomes steeper and suddenly turns almost 90 degrees to the south-west. Directly after this striking bend, there is a large pile of stones (760 m above sea level) to the right of the road. We park our vehicle here. If the track seems bad or impassable, we park our car beforehand. See the Google maps section in the photos in the gallery.

Diablozulo: Parking Entry and Exit

Irusta: Canyon Start
Approach: We leave the electric plant on the right and climb up past the ruins of a loading station on the left. After about 5 min. we turn right at a fork and climb on the path rather straight up the ridge until we meet a horizontal cross path. On this path - the route of a disused material railroad - we go to the right. After passing through 5 tunnels (in between informative views of the cascades), we keep right again and after a few minutes we meet the stream, which we follow to the entry (from the parking lot just under 60 min.).
Tour: After the 52 m rappel, the best intermediate position on the left outside the water. The 52 m rappel can be broken with a clearly visible handrail on the left edge a little before the half, as well as the 47 m rappel; here intermediate position poorly visible.

Irusta: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel we go down orographic. right about 80m and traverse across the creek to the ruin. From here on the slope out of the valley, until in a left bend with rock on the right, a path goes down to the stream. The path leads us back to the E-Werk and the parked car

Irusta: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: On the 'Autoroute de la Cote Basque' coming from Bayonne, we turn off the highway immediately after crossing the Spanish-French border and the border river Bidasoa. Immediately after crossing the Spanish-French border and the border river Bidasoa we turn off the highway and head for Irun (not 'Iruna' - Basque name for Pamplona !) on the N 1. Over two rondels it goes on the main street (N 1) westward toward the city. At the next traffic circle we go 360 degrees around and back on the opposite lane for about 100 m until the first road turns off to the right at a right angle. We continue on GI 3631 along the creek on our right, towards Ibarola, Meaka. We go straight on. We pass a children's playground on the right and a paragliding school ('Escola de Vuelo Bidasoa')on the left. Immediately after that the road makes a bend to the left. We go straight on here - on the left below a meadow with trees - and on the narrowing road until we reach the parking lot just before the electric plant ('central de Irusta') Park here.
Return: After the last rappel we go down orographic. right about 80m and traverse across the creek to the ruin. From here on the slope out of the valley, until in a left bend with rock on the right, a path goes down to the stream. The path leads us back to the E-Werk and the parked car

Approach: From the car (about 630 m above sea level), we head towards a chute in the rock face to the west of the large, elongated cave opening. We briefly ascend along the edge of the chute over a rocky ridge secured by a wire rope, then the trail crosses an old water pipe and we reach the ridge above the rock face. We now follow the path for about 15 minutes towards the striking gulch on the ridge above us (Brecha Koloska). Before it gets really steep, at an altitude of about 750 m to 800 m above sea level, we take a path (sometimes only indistinct climbing tracks) that leads us up to the right in an easterly direction to the ridge at about 1000 m above sea level. We cross the ridge to the north (not to the northeast!), descend steeply and then descend pathless to the northwest in the hollow on the other side of the ridge. We finally come to a ledge where we can see through the trees to the northern opening of the cave. We reach the cave entrance either by rappelling in the left-hand chute or by rappelling/abseiling in the steep cirque to the right of the cave entrance (approach time about 1.5 hours).The Internet sites describe a path several times, which at the beginning is oriented more eastwards and seems more pronounced. Gomez only turns right (or left) shortly before Brecha Koloska. There is also an extreme ascent and especially descent through the Brecha de la Koloxka: (then, in addition to the 2x30m, a 60m rope. Access is made easier with the ability to orient yourself.
Tour: 13 rappels, most of them in the dark. The cave stretches across the ridge in the form of the entrance and exit opening. Intense impressions regarding the sounds and the (indirect) incidence of light. The water flow is generally moderate. Do not enter if there is a threat of thunderstorms. Do not enter during thunderstorms.

Approach: Follow the hiking trail in the direction of Lassingfall until you reach the confluence of a water-bearing ditch from the left (the canyon turns east here). In this ditch quite steeply up until you meet a forest road, which you follow in an easterly direction. At a fork, follow the forest road leading down to the entry in the Kienbach.\nIf you want to do without the rappel in the Kienbach, stay on the marked hiking trail for a bit to descend above a 4m jump into the streambed.
Tour: At the Kienbach 2 rappel (10m, 25m), secured with tree slings. In the Lassingfall then another beautiful 5m possible jumps before the long abseil begins after the bridge of the hiking trail. Due to the sunny location, the rock is partly very slippery. The last big step can be done with one rappel (70m) or two rappels (40m, 25m). The belaystation for the second variant is located on the sloping slabs to the right of the waterfall (be careful in case of rain) \nThe tour ends with a 3m jump at the bridge before the exit into the Erlauf.

Access: From the Barcelona - Tarragona - Valencia highway, turn off onto the N-234 towards Teruel approx. 25 km before Valencia at Sagunto. After about 80 km you will reach the village of La Pueblo de Valverde, which is located slightly to the right off the road. Turn left here (southwest) towards Camarena de la Sierra (16 km). In Camarena, keep half-left towards (Monte) Javalambre (2020 m), and at the end of the village there are some orientation signs on the right. At the first crossroads after leaving the village, take the road on the right ('Salto de Amanaderos'). 8.5 km after Camarena, at a picnic area with a spring ('Fuente de Matahombres'), take the dirt road to the right. Follow this for another 4.5 km, then the track crosses the stream and you are immediately at the entry point (road sign 'Riodeva' on the right) This is also a good place to spend the night. The track was easy to drive on.
Return: After the last major rappel point, the streambed flattens and the canyon widens.

Madronales: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue on the dirt road on a bridge over the Rio Verde-Pito (stream) and up the opposite slope. You come to a reservoir that feeds the Bco. de Funes, the slope goes around it and up to a saddle. From there you can see the small dam at the bottom left, where the entry to the Barranco de los Madroñales is.
Tour: Light and friendly canyon with some slides.

Madronales: Canyon End
Return: Downstream through open terrain to the point where the footpath leading up the Rio Verde crosses the stream. Here you can continue up the Rio Verde (Bco. de las Chorreras) or keep left on the path up to the starting point of the 'access'. In doing so, you will pass the Bco. de Funes at the bottom and you will have the opportunity to take it with you 'in a hurry'. Note: It is also possible to combine the access to Rio Verde (Bco. de las Chorreras) with the Bco. de los Madroñales and/or Bco. de Funes, if you want to limit yourself to the use of a car.

Approach: On the approach road back a bit, down past a house with barking dogs (2006), in front of the next house left down the slope and on this in a northeasterly direction to the footbridge over the river (420 m a.s.l.). Beyond the bridge, a red and white trail marker directs us to the right. After only a few meters (about 20 m) you will find another, but very faded hiking trail marking on rock to the left of the trail. The curvature of the trail leads us to follow the trail tracks to the left, which (partly only indistinctly) go up the slope towards the NE. Between an old uncovered concrete pole (on the left) and new iron poles covered with cables, the path goes up to a saddle (720 m a.s.l.). If you want to get to the lower entry, you have to go immediately beyond in direction NE down to a grassy edge and here directly right down the steep slope on an old path to the former wooden beam footbridge (see photos). Here the steep slope is run out in a wide arc. Immediately at the 'bridge' are the anchors for the 28m entry rappel.
Tour: Despite the naturally turbid water, this is an exceptionally beautiful and impressive canyon. Dangerous whirlpools and rollers even at medium water levels. You should check the water level of the Trevelez (brown broth) at the exit, i.e. above the confluence with the Poqueira (below the E-Werk) before starting the tour. During our tour (early Nov. 2006) it was well below the normal level (see photo)! There are other entry points further upstream in the Trevelez - cf. Literature and Internet sites - but there is little of additional importance (sporting and aesthetic). There are exit options (on the right bank) only up to the block jam before the 15 m rappel. The ascent option opened up here through the Barranco de la Sangre is, however, difficult and dangerous in places. If the water level does not permit an ascent, the nearby Bermejo with its tributary Jabali offers an entertaining alternative tour.

Trevelez: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the city of Granada, take the N 323 south towards Motril. 10 km after Durcal, take the C 333 to Lanjaron and continue to Orgiva. Continue on the C 333 through the town until you reach a road on the left with the sign 'Colegios Menores' (traffic lights, small supermarket on the right). At a crossroads, after about 200 m, turn right and after 5 km you will arrive at the hamlet of Cortijo del Granadino. Here the road mutates into a dirt road, goes up the hill in hairpin bends and ends after another 3.5 km in front of a house ('No Basuras') and a metal gate that closes a tunnel to the Central Electrica del Duque (at the confluence of the Poqueira and Trevelez rivers). Park the car here.
Return: Where the canyon widens again, before the coming log jam, out to the right and (best above the wire nets) traverse to the power plant and continue on the narrow path high above the river to the car (15 min).

Approach: Descend the slope in an easterly direction down to the streambed (up to here by (4WD car if necessary), where you will soon have to overcome a brick slide brake.
Tour: After the slide brake, you walk for a long time in the mostly dry river bed and rappel several times until you finally come across flowing water. A little later, the side canyon Palomas joins from the left via a small wall, which - like the Guadajana - can be chosen as an alternative approach (cf. descriptions there).the neighboring canyon to the west is the Rio Verde(-Chorreras) with its headwaters Cortales, Funes and Madronales.

Lenteji: Parking at Entry
Comment: an der Teerstraße
Access: In Almunecar, leave the N 340 and head north on the SO 2 via Jete and Otivar, past the junction of the road to Lenteji to the road bridge (over the Lenteji) in a left-hand bend (14 km from Almunecar). Park the first vehicle here. Continue with the second vehicle up the winding road over the Rio Verde, past an abandoned petrol station at the Mirador de la Cabra Montes and past the signpost on the access road to the Rio Verde. About 450 meters further on (after the traffic signs '40' - 'sharp bends' - 'rockfall'), a dirt road descends to the right. According to Gómez op.cit. there should be a survey pylon 'MP 282' here - perhaps a little further along the road in the direction of Granada - but we did not see it. Park the second car at the junction (approx. 13.5 km from the road bridge, approx. 1000 m above sea level).
Return: Go down the streambed between the terraces with the fruit trees (do not climb out onto them (in the finca on the right there is a snappy dog and also a snappy farmer) until you can get out directly onto the track that then leads to the bridge and the vehicle below.

Approach: Next to the parking lot you can see a narrow dry streambed. Downstream first along the left side of this streambed, then right above further through the orchard fields and after about 4-5 minutes descend into the streambed, where a good opportunity for it can be seen, if necessary rappel from the tree over brushwood.
Tour: After the confluence of the Barranco Las Palomas from the right, the first springs appear and the stream is water-bearing from then on.the Guadajana is practically only suitable as an alternative approach for the lower part of the Lenteji (see description there). Therefore 2x30m ropes.

Access: In Almunecar, leave the N 340 and head north on the SO 2 via Jete and Otivar, past the junction of the road to Lenteji to the road bridge (over the Lenteji) in a left-hand bend (14 km from Almunecar). Park the first car here. Take the second car back in the direction of Otivar and turn off towards Lentegí. Shortly before reaching the village (630 m above sea level), turn right onto a paved road (signs 'Piscina' and 'polideportivo'), which initially leads far to the south up to the swimming pool and the upper new district of Lenteji. This allows you to avoid the narrow and steep road through the village. After driving through the new development on Calle Nueva, the tarred road exits, there is a house on the left with the sign "El Secanillo" and the road becomes a concrete track. Continue on this road. After 2.5 km - there is no concrete surface in between - you will find a good parking area on the righthand side in a left-hand bend. On the left is a beige house on a hill, below the house water shoots out of an irrigation canal fed by the nearby Guadajama spring.
Return: As it makes sense to continue first in the Palomas, later in the Canón del Lentegi (2.5 hours), the exit is from this (see there). However, there is apparently also the option of climbing back up to the approach slope at/before the confluence with the Lenteji, see and text. In this case 1x30m of ropes is sufficient.

Palomas: Canyon Start
Approach: Descend through the olive groves as far as possible until you meet the maquis. Here you will find the first rappel on the left in the streambed.
Tour: The Palomas, like the neighboring Guadajana, is only suitable as an approach to Lenteji. Except for 2 halfway attractive rappel and a lot of (thorn) scrub, it can only offer scenic.

Approach: At the junction we take the track north to the water reservoir. Once there, we follow the path that takes us further up the hollow in a northerly direction. When it gets lost, we keep left up to the ridge next to the canyons. Here we find a clear path, which we continue to follow until an access to the streambed opens on the left.
Tour: After a "run-up" in the streambed, we come to the first rappel. A total of 11 more follow until we finally stand in the large "sala" with the hermitage.

Biarge, 1987, page 47). Alternatively, you can look for the access directly to the entry. This is the return route from the Salto del Roldan/Flumen superiore, cf. there).
Tour: 7-8 small rappels, mostly in the beam: 7m, 3 m, 5 m, 3 m, 3 m, 8 m, 3 m, 5 m , then a siphon that can be avoided, then about 100 m of running with possible jumps.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the signpost to Val d'Onsera. When you reach the streambed beyond, leave the beaten path and follow the cairns and tracks that go up the slope on the left evenly and only slightly. They move away from the Val d'Onsera very slowly and remain well below the ridge for about 40 minutes. Only late do they lead to the ridge next to the Lenases. On this ridge you climb until at about 1130 m a.s.l. a descent into the canyon opens up. Sense of orientation required.
Tour: Beautiful conglomerate canyon, not too narrow, but especially recommended when water is flowing. 26 rappels, hardly any runs.

We follow it for a few meters until we reach a cove with poplars on the shore. From the rocky point behind it, the shortest swim goes to the opposite shore. Once there, we go left (N) along the shore and finally climb right up to an embrasure. To the north, high on the mountain, we see a single small tree. This is the target we now head for, looking for the most favorable ascent route over the wide conglomerate ridge. Once at the tree, we climb a few meters higher so that we can easily cross left into the chute of "our" barranco.
Tour: 9-11 rappel; beautiful views, at the end depending on the water level in the reservoir jump from the last ramp possible. If the water level has dropped, a final rappel of up to 40 m can open up here.

Cuevas de la Reina: Canyon End
Return: First swim left (southward) along the rock wall, then walk along the shore to swim back to the "mainland" at the narrowest point. Here on the approach path back to the car.

Approach: In Rodellar, follow the signs to Barranco Mascun. We come down to the stream, cross it and come to the source on the right. Continuing northward, we now go up the Bco Fornocal de Andrebot on the left. We come out of the bushes and stand on an open plateau, right the haptic trail continues towards Nazarre and entry Gorgas Negras. We take the weaker tracks to the left, crossing the flat crest and hiking beyond down towards Alcanadre. You reach the river at the southeastern exit of a grassy plain with some poplars. Although the Barrasil begins a little further upstream, the descent usually starts here. To do this, you walk from the campsite "El Puente" at the Puente Pedruel along the trail in the direction of Rodellar. At the beginning it walks on the orographic left slope high above the riverbed of the Alcanadre, but then it descends at the old stone bridge "Puente Coda" to the Mascun. We cross the Punte Coda and follow the faint path that, after a few switchbacks to the high ground, later leads us continuously to the northwest. Finding the way may require some intuition and sense of direction. We then meet the approach path described above and follow it downhill to the left to the river.
Tour: We start walking on the shore and crossing the river several times. We then come to a mess that is crossed most interesting in the run of the water line. However, if the water flow is (too) strong, you can keep to the right bank, if it is also problematic here, you can bypass the chaos right at the top of the slope. Next highlight is "La Olleta" a deep and deep green jumping pool. Do not pass inattentively on the left (happened to me on my first ascent). At the exit come the long swim sections, where for a change but also always jump possibilities from the - mostly right - side are opened.

Return: If we have a car at the campsite "El Puente" stand or have marched from there, we tend after the last long swim and the opening of the canyon right out and go path to the "Puente Pedruel at the campsite. If we have only 1 car and it is at the top of Rodellar, we can also go to the campsite and from there on the tarred road to Rodellar (possibly car stop). We can also walk from the campsite to Rodellar along the hiking trail already mentioned. An interesting alternative is to swim into the narrow and easily overlooked mouth of the Mascun ("Ultimos Estrechos") before the exit of the last swim, then upstream in the Mascun and get off at the Punte Coda to the right onto the footpath to Rodellar, or to hike all the way up the Mascun and climb to the meadows below the rocks where Rodellar is located. From there, turn right up to Rodellar.

Approach: At the entrance to Rodellar, we go down to the right between the stone pillar and the bar and up to Cheto via the mostly dry stream on the opposite slope. We follow the signs that lead us to the Bco. Virgen a little below the confluence of Bco. San Martin and Bco. de Las Tablas. We move up the other side of the slope in a northerly direction. After a slight left turn at the top of the small plateau (1 hour walk), we can enjoy a panoramic view of the Bco. Since the tracks are lost here, we keep going up (about 90 degrees to the right) in the direction of ONO over the wide ridge until we come across a transversal track. We follow the track that leads us at about the same altitude above the wide cirque of the Canal d'Esplucacasa that descends towards Mascun, to a boulder field (total 1.5 hrs) that narrows further down to Bco. Here we leave the track, descend the boulder field on the right edge for about 80 m until we meet a path that branches off to the right. Through a sparse wood (the trees are not very high) we go first in a northerly, later in a westerly direction to the plateau. There the path - at first hardly recognizable as such - leads in a northeasterly direction, later in a northerly direction and then over a small saddle. Behind this, the path descends again in an easterly direction to the bed of the Bco. Fornazos (2 hrs. in total), crossing its two arms one after the other. Heading NNW again, the trail continues to a small yoke with the remains of an old pen. Behind it, the trail descends in a NNO direction on partly indistinct tracks into the left arm of the Bco. d'Os Cochas (up to here approx. 2.5 hrs. from Rodellar). In the streambed it goes in about 20 min. to the first rappel point.
Tour: At the beginning dry rappel in a relatively open chute, Then the longer rappel down into the Mascun and finally in the Mascun even down.

Return: The Bco. d'Os Cochas flows into the Mascun superiore at the Oscuros de Otin. Over 5 rappels it goes down into the Mascun inf., in this - largely on trails, without further rappel - out and left up to Rodellar to the car (about 2 hours from the last rappel in the Mascun sup.).

2025-04-30: Beautiful canyon!
Approach: In Rodellar, follow the signs to Barranco Mascun. We come down to the stream, cross it and come to the spring on the right (orographic left) side. Continue northwards, passing the Bco Fornocal de Andrebot, where you climb up to the left towards Barrasil and Gorgas Negras and then, after a long stretch on the orographic left bank, you come to the point where the path crosses the stream to go up the other side towards Otin (La Costera path). We reach the plateau, may be able to see vultures sitting on the rocky ledges above the canyon and look down into the abode of the wizards (Moorish Maskhun). With a bit of luck, the snow-covered peaks of the main Pyrenean ridge will loom on the horizon behind you. The path walks between stone walls at times and we come to 2 large oak trees. The path now descends and crosses a dry gully. Down this to the right we would come to the entry of the Bco. Otin. However, we cross the chute and pass the abandoned village of Otin to the east of it. We cross 2 rivulets and then turn left past a detached house. We are now on a field path, on the right we see a spring with a pump ("untreated water"). The path climbs slightly, we cross a ridge and pass the junction of a path that would lead to the entry to the Raisin or the Fajas del Mascun. The path now climbs slightly in sparse forest to a flat saddle. A few meters before this saddle, tracks turn off to the right (waypoint !) which lead in an easterly direction directly to the entry to the Mascun Superior. See optimal track In the past, the entry was approached in a relatively wide arc, see: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=11111554 (earlier access) Alternatively, there is another access from Rodellar on the orographic left side, which can cause problems finding the way, see: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=10149393 (access via the orographic left side) see also mapa general de Mascun: * and: *
Tour: The entry into the Saltadero de las Lañas is usually made with a jump (7m). After another jump (1.5m), there is an 18m dry abseil onto a ledge, from which you can jump another 3m. If the access is overcrowded (especially at weekends), you can rappel 33m in one go from the rocky outcrop on the front left, provided you have a 35m rope with you. A third option is to continue a little further along the left edge through the bushes (max. 30 m) and then abseil down to the right through a short chute onto a cone of earth (approx. 10 m). Now follow the Cascadas de Peña Guara, which - as already mentioned - can be bypassed on the left. The 7m rappel at the beginning is jumpable - the jump is slippery! The 7m abseil at the start is jumpable - jump off slippery! This is followed by a longer run, with the Bco. Raisin comes in from the right. A few more ramps that we can run or jump down in the sintered streambed, then we enter a narrow section that leads us through a high and impressive passage grotto ("Sala"). This is followed by the "Oscuros de Otin" with a series of further rappels (caution: on the first one: soapstone, so the stand is slippery), including a small jump into the "Pozo Negro", the black pot. Finally, a longer rappel over a sintered tree trunk brings us back to the light, a last jump (approx. 5m) then we swim out of the dark area. Smaller steps follow, then the last rappel at the pot into which the water falls in a rappel divided by the rock (caution: not jumpable - already several serious accidents here). This is followed by the Mascun inferior (see description there if necessary). From the left, the Bco. os Fornazos comes down over a rock face, then after a "boulevard" and a large rock pillar on the right, the path from Otin through the Canal d'o Turno. Now normally take the path on the right out of the streambed to Bco. Otin, but you can also stay in the streambed - Fornocal d'Otin in the "Gran Circo". I would like to point out the situation with the large pool, which is almost completely closed off by a rock. Although there is light shining through, it is better not to dive through it, but to dive through the gap on the left above ground. When I tried to dive through, I almost got stuck between the rock and the ground and came out on the other side, but in quite a panic. This is followed by the karst spring below the last fall of the Bco. Otin and then we walk and climb out until we meet the (access) path that comes down from the village of Otin and crosses the streambed.

Return: As a rule, one continues down the Mascun, cf. there. At the confluence with the Mascun superiore, however, you can also go up it, bypass the next rappel points (Cascadas de Peña Guara) to the right (= orographic. left) and reach the large cauldron below the first rappel (Saltador de las Llanas). From here you can orographic. right via the cornice path of the 'high passages' (Fajas de Mascun) back to the entry of the Raisin.

Fornazos: Canyon Start
Approach: Access initially as for the access to the Bco. d'Os Cochas: at the entrance to Rodellar, go down to the right between the stone pillar and the bar and go up to Cheto via the mostly dry stream on the opposite slope. We follow the signs that lead us to the Bco. Virgen a little below the confluence of Bco. San Martin and Bco. de Las Tablas. We go up the other side of the slope in a northerly direction.

Approach: The canyon begins on the ledge below the area where we left the car. In order to reach this ledge, we go without a path along the edge of the slope on the left (direction NE) slightly downhill until we can turn right onto the said ledge. On this ledge now again in southern direction. The first two chutes that now descend on the left are branches of Barranco Estrecho, the next chute is Barranco Fontaneta. The terrain is confusing, so some sense of orientation and tracking is required. Both canyons flow into the Rio Isuala (at the beginning of the Balcés Estrechos). We now go to the entry of the Fontaneta.
Tour: 5 rappel. At the bottom the canyon narrows. Also suitable for beginners. See video!

Approach: We follow the dirt road in the direction of NNO. After the stable we leave the dirt road, which goes slightly downhill towards the east, slightly uphill towards the ONO. We cross in this direction to the beginning of Juncar.\nThere is a more direct access from the road (km 9) to Juncar, but it is more difficult to find than the one described here.
Tour: Walking, rappelling (7) and clamming in narrowing conglomerate canyon.

Return: 2 options: Either down the Rio Isuala, past a small side canyon, to the cairns on the right. Here the exit of Cueva Cabrito - always following the markers - up to the track on the ridge between Juncar and Cabrito. Alternatively, you can walk up the Rio Isuala for about 150 m and then turn left, first on faint tracks up the slope, later on a track westward to a large meadow. At the southern edge of the meadow, continue west for about 500 m, then - above Bco. Juncar - in a southwesterly direction on the access path back to the car (to be found from the meadow only with a sense of orientation and tracking).

Cueva Cabrito: Canyon Start
2025-05-27: Everything tip top. Unique conglomerate canyon. Eternally long and superiore narrow. A must-see.
2025-05-01: Very special! Worth doing it once to see environment!
2025-04-23: Water level high for this tour. No problems.
Approach: We take the track to the north and after the gate we turn right down (SE) to the headwaters of Cueva Cabrito (signpost). Following the existing tracks or pathless, we go through undergrowth to the streambed in Nagelfluh.
Tour: Conglomerate canyon that becomes increasingly deepened and narrowed. Impressive halls at the end, before reaching the Rio Isuala.

Access: From the road Barbastro - Huesca (N 240) about 25 km after Barbastro turn right on the A 1229 direction Abiego, Rodellar. A few hundred meters after Abiego, turn left towards Bierge. A few meters before reaching Bierge, turn right towards Rodellar ( Bco. de Mascun). 8 km after this junction, in a slight bend to the left, is the starting point for the access. Under the tree, of which a substantial part has broken off, we park the car. It is the same starting point as for the access to Juncar.

Cerriguelo: Canyon Start
Approach: If you have only 1 vehicle available, we recommend the access from the bridge over the Isuala as described and sketched in the above-mentioned Internet site.Otherwise, we follow the track from the 2nd vehicle further up the climb, on the right past a dilapidated house and then always following the signs for a mountain bike tour ('10'). After about 1 hour we reach the ridge where further down is the Erimitage de la Viren de la Vina, which can be seen from afar on the left as we climb. However, we cross the ridge and follow a path that passes above the 2 branches of the Bco. Vina to then reach the next Bco. the Cerrigüelo. Already from the saddle we move down the left slope of the Cerrigüelo pathless through scrub and undergrowth to the stream that has some water even in midsummer.
Tour: Only recommended for lovers also of hiking in unspoiled scenery.Also then the neighboring Pallas to the north more recommended.

Cerriguelo: Canyon End
Return: You can go back up the next barranco, the Vina (all climbable),but this is not recommended because the exit up to the Hermitage is difficult to find and arduous. It is better to go down the Estrechos de Balcés until the bridge over the Isuala and the lower vehicle.

Cerriguelo: Parking at Exit
Comment: pour sortie par Balcés Estrechos (descente)
Access: From Bierge in the direction of Alquezar, after a few kilometers, you reach the bridge over the Isuala, the end point of the Balcés Estrechos. About 100 m after the turnoff to this village and before reaching the plateau, we turn left onto a dirt road, which we always follow in a basically northerly direction. Before a short ascent, which seems no longer drivable for normal cars, we park the second car.
Return: You can go back up the next barranco, the Vina (all climbable),but this is not recommended because the exit up to the Hermitage is difficult to find and arduous. It is better to go down the Estrechos de Balcés until the bridge over the Isuala and the lower vehicle.

Chimiachas: Canyon Start
Approach: You can get there directly from Alquezar on a dirt road, see: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=10481776 However, it seems more convenient to first drive from Alquezar or Radiquero to San Pelegrin (2.6 km from the first parking lot in Alquezar on the left), cross the village and then drive another 1.9 km further north. Here a dirt road turns off to the right at a sharp angle and we leave our car here. This is the start of a path that leads uphill in a northerly direction (with a small right-left turn in between). Later it turns slightly to the NNE. We reach the ridge and walk about 80 m to the SE to join a path coming from the south. We now follow it to the left. The path curves to the left and joins up with a path coming from the right. Continue north along the now shared path for about 150 m, then turn right onto a path that takes you to a right-hand side stream of the Chimiachas after about 500 m. From here, head north-east towards the Chimiachas. If you only want to rappel the interesting lower part, you can get there directly from the Tozal dero Tiesto on a well-maintained path (the thinly dotted path in the overview map down to the Rio Vero).
Tour: 9 rappel; the upper part up to the intersection with the path wins only by the view. However, the long final rappels, especially the last one into the "Cocineta" can impress.

Chimiachas: Canyon End
Return: 3 possibilities. Either in the Rio Vero to the Puente Villacantal and from here to Alquezar or downstream in the Vero to go up on the right at the height of the large overhang (tracks, cairns). A third option would be to wade up the Vero for about 150 m and then take the path that I have already mentioned as an access route to the intermediate entrance from above. The path we took first goes up from the river on a rock ramp, then crosses a small wall above the Chimiachas (wire rope), then crosses the Chimiachas itself and goes up to the top. There, either turn left to Alquezar or, after a short stretch of this path, turn right onto the track that leads to the car north of San Pelegrin.

Chimiachas: Intermediate Canyon Exit
Access: From Barbastro in the direction of Alquézar. After about 20 km on the newly expanded A-1232 up to Alquezar. There we park our car in the parking lot above the center.

Approach: On a clear path down to the Rio Vero, on the bridge structure to the other bank and left up the slope above the Rio Vero. The path describes a bend to the right and approaches "our" Bco. Over boulders it goes left down to the entry.
Tour: 7 rappel in homogeneous ambience. Visually attractive the last rappel down to the Rio Vero. Through narrow stone corridor it goes forward to the first rappels --> R3 (r.) --> R10 (r.) --> short walking passage --> R4 (r.)(E3 spreading technique) --> short walking passage --> R10 (r.) in narrower canyon section --> walking section --> big hall with rappel point R10 (li.) --> walking passage in nicely hollowed rock vaults --> R10 (r.) --> long walking passage in vegetation-rich terrain --> short rappel R4 (r.)

Access: From Barbastro in the direction of Alquézar. After about 20 km on the newly expanded A-1232 at the junction at the bridge of the Rio Vero (beyond the bridge Camping Rio Vero) turn right and continue on the A-2205 via Colungo in the direction of Arcusa, Ainsa. The road now winds curvaceously northward. One crosses the Bco Palomeras Fornocal (8.1 km from Rio Vero - bridge) and reaches a few hundred meters further the Puente de las Gargantas over the Rio Fornocal. The route continues with many bends. After 15.7 km (from Rio Vero) we pass the parking lot for the access to the Fornocal), after 16.7 km we arrive at the parking lot above the Portiacha. But we continue 1.4 km to the parking lot on the left of the road, where we leave our car.
Return: In Rio Vero upstream to the bridge with dam and then back up to the parking lot.

Approach: We first follow the track parallel to the tarred road to the south. After 260 m it bends to the southwest. Either here or a few meters before, we leave the track to the right and keep left at the top of the cliff above the basin. There are 2 chutes. We still pass the top of the first canyon branch, but then descend the next chute until the growth stops (entry). It is also possible to descend the first and third chute.
Tour: We walk down the chute to the first rappel (23m). The canyon becomes narrow, descending in heels. Arrived at the bottom of the gorge, we clamp after a short run through the "Oscuros". We pass successively 2 "Sala "s and several more narrows, then comes the running section. Several side canyons come down from the left, finally the somewhat wider one of the Alpan. The canyon now makes a left bend at a right angle. Here (large cairn) we exit up to the right. One could also "take" the following narrow section and climb out and up to the right after this.

Approach: We first follow the track parallel to the tarred road to the south. After 260 m it bends to the southwest. Either here or a few meters before, we leave the road to the right and keep to the left at the top of the cliff above the basin. We pass the first two recognizable (!) canyon branches (Lumos I and II) and the next one (Lumos III - left tributary). A longer stretch follows at the edge (cairns). The tracks goes around a rocky outcrop and swings to the south. We descend into the ditch, which is now below us, just before the next rock outcrop. After the rock outcrop, the descent would be into the left side barranco of the Alpan, perhaps already into the next canyon, the Trucho (orientation difficult!).
Tour: 10 rappels, narrows, "sala "s, small pools. Finally we are down in the collector, the lumos coming from the right. In this a few meters down. The canyon now makes a left bend at a right angle. Here (large cairn) we exit up to the right. You could also "take" the following narrow section and climb out and up to the right after this.

Approach: From the west side of the bridge down the slope into the streambed of the Fornocal (this is also the exit of the Fornocal superiore). It is also possible to join the Fornocal (superiore), entry via Sarratanas or Palomeras Flumen or Bco. XAE. The Bco. de XAE can be reached by walking from the (upper) car on the road on the orographic right slope of the Fornocal for about 300 m in a southerly direction. In the XAE you rappel 2 x 25 m into the Fornocal. Access is also possible via the Malpaso to the northwest of the bridge (see there!).
Tour: Nice descent, although not very varied. The first has the honorable task of clearing the cobwebs stretched across the stream. After the bridge, sewage from Colungo flows into the Fornocal.

Return: The exit directly after the bridge is almost impossible without ropes from above. Continue along the stream for about 100 m until you reach a point where you can climb out to the right. From here, return to the bridge to enable others to make the exit using ropes if necessary, see video 2014. From the bridge, head east up to Colungo, especially if you have a car here. Alternatively, head west up to Asque (10 minutes) and from there take the road back to Puente de las Gargantas (another 45 minutes). You can also walk back to the car at the Puente de las Gargantas in the Barranco de las Gargantas itself.

Ribeira das Patas (inferior): Canyon Start
Approach: The road on the orographic left 'bank of the side stream' about 50 m to the south, then left in an easterly direction between the houses through we reach a ditch, which we follow downhill. Not to be suspected at first sight, at its exit on the left begins the descent path that we follow to the bottom of the gorge of the Patas.
Tour: Continuation of the Patas med., partly narrower and running out to the sea (coast stony).

Ribeira das Patas (inferior): Canyon End
Return: After reaching the coast on the orographic left side of the Patas and practically parallel to it in a northerly direction initially completely pathless back to the road. Here you can head for the homestead south of the road as an intermediate destination. The paths are mostly goat paths, but also partly walk towards the homestead.At the road decent chances that one is taken by an Aluguer (shared cab) or even as a hitchhiker to Porto Novo.

Tapoume de Verissimo: Canyon Start
Approach: In Matinho we continue on the now barely rideable slope (always at about the same altitude). At a dilapidated house on the left on the edge of the slope, the track ends and we follow the path (blue marking on the house). On this path we reach the gulch of the Tapoume Verissimo near a dam in about 15 minutes from the exit of the track.
Tour: 13 rappel. The 105 m rappel has the intermediate stand 53 m below the belay at the top (half-right).

Tapoume de Verissimo: Canyon End
Return: You can either continue along the canyon Tarref d'Cima that immediately follows in the course of the stream (cf. there) or, after reaching the widening of the valley, you climb up the slope on a path to the right and arrive on the ascent path to the canyon tour Tarref d'Cima (cf. there) at the height above the canyon and jensets down to the exit of the Tarref d'Cima. From here, both alternatives continue equally in the bottom of the valley to the bolt court or the exit of the tarred road.

Comment: Weiler Matinho
Access: From Porto Novo up to the crater basin Cova de Paúl (crater rim 1250 m above sea level). Continue in the direction of Ribeira Grande until Espongeiro (about 3.5 km from the crossroads at the crater rim). At the houses we turn left and continue on a dirt road for about 5.5 km in an easterly direction at about the same altitude. About 100m before reaching the houses of Lagedos, a dirt road branches off at a metereological station (on the right), which branches off after a few meters. We take the left branch and drive on the left past the small meteorological station in northwestern direction. We follow this track for about 4 km until its exit at the hamlet of Matinho (1200 m above sea level). At the end of the tour we will be picked up at the end of the tarred road that goes up the Caibros valley. The cab will take us from the village of Ribeira Grande up the valley of the same name, past Coculi with its large school to Boca de Ambas Ribeiras (ambas Ribeiras: both Ribeiras: R. Grande and Ribeira Caibros). Here the car turns left from the main road and drives in southern direction up the valley of Caibros to the exit of the tarred road, possible also about 400 m further to a square sandy place, which the youth likes to use for bolting (about 440 m above sea level - about 2 km from Boca de Ambas Ribeiras).

Ribeirada Vinha (inferior): Canyon Start
Approach: We walk uphill on the road (on the left above a grocery store) and after 2 switchbacks we come to a brick water tank. In front of it on the right, up the stairs to some houses on the ridge (Lombo do Pico). From these, the path first descends a bit on the other side, and then climbs steadily again. At 695 meters above sea level we reach the houses of Losna and here we keep to the right (north direction). The path now goes downhill again and we come into the streambed of the Vinha, which is also called Ribeira de Losna here.
Tour: Particularly in the lower part, you are forced to trudge through the agriculture with its filigree irrigation systems.\nTotal of 16 rappels, the highest (85m) with a changeover (50/35).

Ribeirada Vinha (inferior): Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel onto the landing here, continue down the path until you reach the road.

Ribeirada Vinha (inferior): Parking at Exit
Access: From the south end of the village of Ribeira Grande, you first drive into the streambed of the Ribeira de Torre and then continue south in the valley for almost 7 km. At a green large container on the right side of the road (before the road rises steeply) is our start and end point.
Return: After the last rappel onto the landing here, continue down the path until you reach the road.

Ribeirada Vinha (superior): Canyon Start
Approach: To the right of the said house, descend the paved mule track for about 50 meters and then immediately turn right onto a path that runs between the walled terraces, rising very slightly in a southerly direction along the slope. After a few houses we turn left downhill (east direction). We now always follow this path - partly also more steeply downhill. Thereby we cross some side valleys of the Vinha. We see a dam wall, we go on, we see a second dam wall, where we enter from the path above on the right. After about 100 m we come to the first airy anchor at the exit of a basalt gully.
Tour: At the beginning higher rappel, a total of 10 in the upper part. On the left an exit possibility on a path.

Neve: Canyon Start
Approach: From Casa de Guarda (1355 m a.s.l.) we take the dirt road that descends in an easterly direction through the sparse forest. Already here you will find the blue markings that we will now follow. After about 15 min. the track ends with a left turn. We pass the path to Janela on the right side of the forest and follow the unfinished track downhill. At 1215 meters above sea level (a few meters after the edge of the forest), the track becomes a hiking trail that initially descends not too steeply along or slightly below the ridge in a northerly direction. At 1110 m a.s.l. a path leads down to the right to Janela. However, we continue to descend steeply in a northerly direction and arrive at the Casas de Topo (1055 m a.s.l.) on the ridge. Now we go downhill in western direction. We see an avocado tree on the side of the path on a terrace (930 m a.s.l.). The path now walks along the ridge above the upper Pombas (lower left) in a northerly direction and we come to a small homestead (760 m a.s.l.; inhabited by M. Pedro with family) about 1.25 hrs. after starting our walk. Shortly before the homestead, we descend in a westerly direction (path leads via Santa Isabel to Vilha das Pombas) into the notch valley of the Pombas (670 m a.s.l.).About 150 m down the streambed we come to the first rappel (60 m).\nSee also Goldstadt Wanderführer Santo Anâo, Route 103 in reverse direction.
Tour: First canyon, then vertical waterfall with the following rope sequence: 32 m (chute - pendulum left) - 56 m (pendulum left, hanging) - 56 m - 56 m - 8 m. A total of 17 rappel.

Ribeira di Gi (inferior): Canyon Start
Approach: On the orographic right ridge we climb on a pleasant path. At forks we stay on the clearer path (orienting to the right in case of doubt). The path climbs steadily parallel to the Gi and passes through some side gullies. Passing under a long basalt wall we come up to a saddle with a thatched (2009) goat pen. From here we descend, at first gently, later steeply, until we reach the streambed with banana bushes.
Tour: Access in banana oasis in the stream. 6 rappel, max. 21m.

Ribeira di Gi (inferior): Canyon End
Return: From the water tank (bathing recommended) we go out to the sea and our starting point.

Ribeira di Gi (inferior): Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Ribeira Grande on the coastal road in an easterly direction via Sinagoga and Vilha das Pombas we come after a downhill drive in two serpentines to the bridge over the here dry Pombas (directly at the sea, below a small settlement - up to here about 10 km from Rib. Grande, a good 2 km from Vilha das Pombas). From here a little more than a km and we come over the bridge that overarches the Gi. In front of us the Praia do Gi with a small village on the right of the road. At the bridge the approach begins.
Return: From the water tank (bathing recommended) we go out to the sea and our starting point.

Esdrougal: Canyon Start
Approach: In Matinho we continue on the now barely rideable slope (always at about the same altitude). At a dilapidated house on the left on the edge of the slope, the track finally ends and we follow the following path (blue marking at the house). In about 15 minutes from the exit of the track we reach the gulch of the Tapoume Verissimo near a dam wall and continue slightly uphill to a ridge where there is a house. A little later we pass a side valley that starts here and goes down to Tapoume de Verissima. The path now descends fairly steadily and a stone house appears again in front of us. Here we do not keep to the right towards a clearly visible path, but pass the house on the left and, after the path was temporarily very indistinct, we again come across a clear trail that leads us further down towards NNW. Occasionally we also see the blue markers that are supposed to guide us. Finally, we reach a dry streambed where a clear blue arrow on a large boulder points downstream. We are at the entry. Soon we come to an 8 m rappel with belay, which shows us that we are right.
Tour: Sequence of - partly high - rappels( total 25). The 88m rappel has a transfer (48/40). In the lower part water flow. At the exit longer runs downhill.

Esdrougal: Canyon End
Return: We reach the mouth of the Esdrougal into the Tapoume Verissimo, having already struggled down for some time across terraced fields or in the streambed. We walk down in the streambed of the Tapoume V. without further rappel until a green valley widens. Now you can either continue along the canyon Tarref d'Cima that immediately follows in the course of the stream (cf. there) or, after reaching the widening of the valley, you climb up on a path on the right side of the slope and come on the ascent path to the canyon tour Tarref d'Cima (cf. there) to the height above the canyon and on the other side down to the exit of Tarref d'Cima. From here, with both alternatives, continue equally in the valley bottom to the ball field or the exit of the tarred road.

Continue in the direction of Ribeira Grande until Espongeiro (about 3.5 km from the crossroads at the crater rim). At the houses we turn left and continue on a dirt road for about 5.5 km in an easterly direction at about the same altitude. About 100 m before reaching the houses of Lagedos, a dirt road branches off at a metereological station (on the right), which branches off after a few meters. We take the left branch and drive on the left past the small meteorological station in a northwesterly direction. We follow this track for about 4 km until its exit at the hamlet of Matinho (1200 m above sea level). There we will be dropped off by the (collection) cab.\nAt the end of the tour we will be picked up at the end of the tarred road that goes up the Caibros valley. The cab will take us from the village of Ribeira Grande up the valley of the same name, past Coculi with its large school to Boca de Ambas Ribeiras (ambas Ribeiras: both Ribeiras: R. Grande and Ribeira Caibros). Here the car turns left from the main road and drives in southern direction up the valley of Caibros to the exit of the tarred road, possible also about 400 m further to a square sandy place, which the youth likes to use for bolting (about 440 m above sea level - about 2 km from Boca de Ambas Ribeiras).

Caidero de las Ninas: Canyon Start
Approach: Return from the car on the tarred road and after about 300 m turn right onto the dirt road that joins at an acute angle. Follow this uphill for around 20 minutes until you reach the large basin, cross it and look for the rest of the hiking trail on the opposite side. After passing the rock faces, the path heads up towards the ridge. It reaches the tarred road (signpost in the opposite direction 'Soria'). Follow this road to the left in a southerly direction for a good 20 minutes until you reach the houses at the dam wall (see 'gpswandern' internet location). Before the houses at the dam wall, descend southwards to the Barranco, but do not enter immediately, but continue along the stream for about 10-20 m above the stream, later on a water pipe, until you can descend - as late as possible - into the streambed.
Tour: First "children's canyon", then a sequence of several (6) partly high rappels into a large rock cauldron. In the upper cauldron you can either rappel orographic left (70 m to the small pool, then 25 m to the large pool, 12 m after the large pool) or right (estimated 50 m to the intermediate belay on the ledge and from there an estimated 45 m to the large pool) The lower cauldron has a height of 70 m and can be broken after about 20 m, but will not be everyone's cup of tea due to the exposed nature of the intermediate belay. Depending on the water flow, the large pool can become a Marmita Trampa (drainage below the water surface!), from which you will have great problems when climbing out.

Approach: From below: From the parking lot, head towards the gorge exit and follow the trail on the orographic left side of the gorge until you reach the stream. Once you are on the streambed, briefly through the streambed down until you are in front of the gorge entrance. Trails are correctly marked in the OSM, map also on * Access from above: Follow the road with driving ban down, then on a good hiking trail to the bridge over the streambed, here still about 5min through the streambed to the gorge entrance.
Tour: 22 rappels in narrow gorge without many walking passages in between. A few jump and Rustchmöglichkeiten. Rappels are regularly in the rappel. After about 3/4 of the gorge, old wire ropes and a path hewn out of the rock lead out to the right. Up to here the anchors are OK, from here worse insurances. First it goes down in a narrow gorge, after a half-cave formed by a huge clamping block (path above the block) there is a last escape possibility to the right. After that, a landslide and about 3 more rappels.

Tour: 12 rappels in 3 groups connected by longer runs. First in a somewhat incised chute, the second group in the cauldron (transfer left on the edge before the final rappel), the third group starting with the 110 m rappel, which is broken about halfway up via a hanging relay. With a little skill, you can avoid a dip in the pool below. Then the final abseil to the path. Keep as close to the water as possible at the blackberry piton.

Infierno: Canyon End
Return: On the footpath from the foot of the last waterfall out to Adejo, where you then idR. have to climb over the fence.

Torrente Grisol: Canyon Start
Approach: The gorge begins just below the bridge. An entry further up by one of the spring creeks is probably also possible.
Tour: Hiking routes on very slippery ground alternate with narrow gorges. There is only one old anchor, the rest must be jumped or downclimbed. Detailed description in the AIC forum.

Torrente Grisol: Parking at Entry
Access: From Belluno through the Piave Valley to Longarone, here turn off towards Val Zoldana and follow the road to Soffranco. Park to the left of the bridge over the Mae.\n\take the second car high above the canyon to the bottom of the valley. Park at the first bridge over the Torrente Grisol.
Return: When you reach the gorge of Torrente Mae climb the fixed ropes and turn left back to the road.

San Joaquin: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car down the terraced slope in a northerly direction to the clearly visible first rappel in the barranco.
Tour: The basalt rose over which you rappel (2nd rappel) is attractive. The 40m rappel can be broken after about 20m on a comfortable intermediate belay.

San Joaquin: Canyon End
Return: After passing under the highway in the barranco, left on trail tracks or dirt road slightly uphill to the large paved plaza south of Los Roques where the lower vehicle is parked.

San Joaquin: Parking at Entry
Access: From Tenerife Sur Airport, take exit 23 to the TF1 highway and follow it in the direction of Sta. Cruz de Tenerife (northeast). After 26.5 km on the TF1, take exit no. 14 (Los Roques/Fasnia) (park the first vehicle in San Roques by the sea, if you have two available. With the other one - on the TF 620 - 6 km uphill to Fasnia. In the village turn left on the crossing TF 28, in southwestern direction out of the village, after about 300 one comes on the Puente de los Tres Ojos; over the Barranco San Joaquin (here misleadingly other designation) and turns after another 50 m left down to the ruin of the church San Joaquin.

Barranco de las Palmas: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car parked at the junction - P1 - you can of course follow the 4x4 track described in more detail above to its exit.however, a modified access is recommended. To do this, we follow the dirt road used until the parking place - P1 - straight on; it rises continuously above the Bco. de Tirajana, located on the lower right. The track crosses a small ditch at about 460 meters above sea level, on the opposite slope there is an uninhabited house (up to here access is possible). Here we climb on the orographic right side of the ditch up to the saddle below the already mentioned rock tower ('Degollada de Mojón'). Here we meet the four-wheel drive track that was described above as the access road. From here we reach the streambed (650 m a.s.l.) at a wide dam wall (?) with a small reed pond behind it.
Tour: 5 Rappels. If necessary, the swimming pump before (our) exit can be bypassed on the left above.

Barranco de las Palmas: Canyon End
Comment: sans navette sortir devant la fin de canyon (descente)
Return: Either to the exit of the canyon (if the vehicle is parked there) or - recommended and described here - after the first narrow passage (with swimming pool - Jan. 2009), which can be found about 1 km (boulder entanglement) below the high rappel, up the ditch descending from the orographic left to the rock tower ('Mojón') and then beyond down the ascent path back to the car.

Barranco de las Palmas: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: avec 4x4 navette possible (descente)
Access: We leave the highway GC_1 (Las Palmas - Maspalomas) at El Doctoral (exit 30/32) and take the GC_105 for 3.5 km northward to Aldea Blanca. Upon reaching the village, we keep right uphill to the end of the village (highest part of the village). Here, to the north, somewhat separated from the village, we can see a large masonry box, the soccer stadium. From the tarred road running east-west at the northern edge of the village, we follow the signpost 'Gallego los Sitios' to an inconspicuous dirt road, which we follow (at a distance of about 50 m to the left, past the soccer stadium) for about 300 m in a NNW direction (270 m above sea level) - P1. There an even more inconspicuous track branches off to the left, which first leads in a southeasterly direction around the slope and then in long serpentines up to the ridge (approx. 2.2 km after the junction, 460 m a.s.l.). Now it moves northward on the ridge between the Bco. de Tirajana (lower right) and the Bco. de las Palmas (lower left). After passing a rock tower (Mojón), it rises again sharply and we reach a ruined house at the end of the path (about 4.7 km after the turnoff, 720 m a.s.l.), the starting point for the entry into the Bco. de Tirajana. - P3.this track is only passable with an off-road vehicle from the exit and even then not unproblematic.so that this ascent makes sense, a second off-road vehicle is to be parked at the end of the barranco. This end point is reached by turning left 1.6 km after leaving GC_1 from GC_105 onto a track that first leads between walled and covered fruit orchards, later passing between some houses ('La Florida', approx. 2.2 km from junction GC_105), to then climb slightly northwards about 300 m further into the Bco. de las Palmas that ends here. You pass a homestead with large tanks and park the jeep when there is no more usable track to find. If necessary, you can get to the homestead with a normal car - P2.After the experience made, however, it is recommended to park the only vehicle necessary for the tour where the four-wheel drive road (300 m NNW of the village) branches off to the left of the original track - P1 (from here the access is described).
Return: Either to the exit of the canyon (if the vehicle is parked there) or - recommended and described here - after the first narrow passage (with swimming pool - Jan. 2009), which can be found about 1 km (boulder entanglement) below the high rappel, up the ditch descending from the orographic left to the rock tower ('Mojón') and then beyond down the ascent path back to the car.

Horno: Canyon Start
Approach: We climb the ridge on the orographic right side of the Bco. pathless (up to about 360 m a.s.l.). Then we cross under the rock bar about 150 m to the left (in southern direction) and look for a suitable ascent possibility to overcome the rock bar. At the top, we go north again until we reach the bed of the barranco.
Tour: 9 vertical and mostly quite airy rappel.

Horno: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel (8 m) about 150 m out to the right to the car.

Comment: P2 am Friedhof für Ausstieg
Access: After bypassing Geneva on the Swiss N 1 after the national border, take the A 401 towards Lyon, Dijon, Paris for about 2.5 km, then at the highway junction take the A 40 towards Lyon, Dijon, Paris. After another 23 km, take exit 11 (Bellegarde Center) in the direction of Fragny, Seyssel. 6 km further on, at the end of Mons, turn right onto the D 992 and through Seyssel and Culoz (another 23 km), where you continue on the D 904 (towards Bourg-en-Bresse) for another 8.5 km to Artemare (a total of 62 km from the border).\nFrom here, continue on the D 904 towards Amberieu-en-Bugey. We pass the village of Virieu-le-Grand, then the Lac de Virieu (karst spring, decent campsite), do not turn left at the next T-junction to Belley, but continue right on the D1504. About 5 km further on we come to the small village of Rossillon (on the right of the D1504).\nAbout 200 m further on, after the cemetery, there is a large parking lot on the right of the road. We park our car as far away from the cemetery as possible - and therefore close to the stream exit. Take the second car back to Rossillon and take the first road on the left (D 103) up towards Armix. The road climbs up the slope in serpentines. After the second leftward haipin bend (not counting the turn off the D 1504) and about 4 km (from the village), we come to the bridge over the stream. We park the top vehicle here.
Return: After the final sinter cascade, first in the streambed towards the road, later out to the left and along the edge of the meadow to the car.

Return: Descend through the Hochstadelgraben until you reach the access forest road.

Mocanes: Canyon Start
Approach: Beyond the barranco we climb the path continuously. We pass a saddle and arrive at the houses, where we are greeted by the fierce barking of dogs (Jan. 2009; up to here about 4.5 km). We continue along the track, ignoring a forest path leading into the Bco. on the right, and finally come out of the sparse pine forest into a high valley (approx. 1210 m a.s.l. - 6.5 km from the parking lot). Here we descend an indistinct path to the streambed and immediately encounter the first rappel.
Tour: 9 rappel. The remarkable thing about this Bco. in basalt rock is its bright green color (see photos) the canyon has several parts with the following names (from top to bottom): Canada de Botija - Bco. del Chorro - Bco. de los Mocanes

Mocanes: Canyon End
Return: About 100 m after the last wide 8 m drop, which you bypass to the right - for lack of anchors - you meet a large boulder.

Approach: On the left, the mule track goes towards Ponta dos Ilhéus and the entry to Ilhéus inferior. But we continue to the right up the long straight road, following the signs Ponta Ruiva, Peninha and Cabouco. A small sign here also points the way to the Ilhéus med. as well as to the Alquevins. The wide mule track, paved with unhewn stones, narrows and, after reaching the highest point, goes slightly downhill again. At a fork we stay left and a little later we arrive at the entry to the Ilhéus med. We continue along the mule track, we cross two more streams, we keep left down at a fork of the path, we cross another stream and with the fourth stream we reach our entry.
Tour: The stream, which never notches very deep, begins with several (3) small (max. 10m) rappels and initially shorter, then longer walking passages. After about half an hour we come to the first higher rappel - R4 (30m). This is followed by the inclined rappel R5 (35m). We swim through a longer pool, at the exit of which an impressive view of the sea and the coast opens up. The following step of 45m can be done by rope or after about 25m left / or 30m right break (R6/R7).Here should be a last emergency exit possibility (pathless through the jungle) before reaching the final vertical leading into the sea. After another small swimming passage we come to the final highlight, the 70m drop down to the sea. Again, there are alternative abseil routes to the left of the "beam" or on the right edge of the beam. We first rappelled 15m to the right edge of the ray (R8), then 30m keeping slightly to the right to an intermediate belay which is 18m above the sea. These 18m (R7) can also be jumped. A few meters above sea level there is apparently another anchor. Also from here a smaller jump into the sea is possible.

Return: The adaequate way of the "way back" is to pick up by boat (see info under "Notes"). In the cited book a swimming possibility (only with absolutely calm sea) in the direction of Ponta do Ilhéu (approx. 1.2 km) is pointed out, but I would advise against it.

Approach: We now continue along the said meadow path, slightly downhill, with views of the sea and the coast. Later we enter a sparse coppice forest and, always marching downhill, cross 3 side streams/rivulets before reaching the main stream Rib. das Barrosas (entry). After the stream, the path would rise again.
Tour: We enter a comparatively little open canyon. Jumps or slides are sometimes possible throughout the canyon, but only after thorough prior examination. First, 4 rappels between 15m and 18m await us, A longer walking passages follows, where possibilities for an emergency exit to the left would open up. After a 20m rappel and a shorter walking section, the stream begins to deepen from the 6th rappel (8m). After 2 more rappels (11m u. 10m) and some passages of rappel we look out to the sea and then stand at the final rappel, 22m above the sea. The belay must be roped up here via the water-bearing chute on the left.

Approach: We go back on the road 50 m in the direction of Fajã Grande. Here a larger gap opens up between the houses. We turn left and follow the path that initially goes along the left edge of the field bordered with rough stones towards the slope (anno 2016 here wooden signpost "Canyon J. Fraga inferiore/Cao inferiore/Casas inferiore"). The trail enters the coppice forest and moves only slightly uphill at the beginning. After about 10 min and about 20 m, before the trail exits the coppice to the north, a side trail turns left uphill (2016 also trail sign "Canyon"). Now it goes steeply uphill. At elevation 138 a.s.l. we cross the Fraga River at the ruins of a mill. We continue, often over steps, until at 320 a.s.l. a path leaves the main path on the left (2016 signs to the left to Fraga inferiore, to the right up to Cao and Casas, both inferiore). After a few meters we are in the stream (entry).
Tour: In quick succession, 8 rappels are lined up, usually with handrails to the anchor (40m - 30m - 16m - 8m - 45m - 7m - 30m - 18m). The stands are comfortable. Permanently you can enjoy the view.

Return: After the last rappel first in the stream downhill, then at a house with a round apse out to the right and to the road. On this then to the right a few meters to the car.

Wadi Bani Khalid Upper: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car upstream to the start of the narrowing.
Tour: We walk and wade upstream. After about 25 minutes from the entrance to the gorge, we come to a cave with concrete steps leading up to the entrance on the right. The cave itself is low and narrow. If you want to get a little further in, you have to crawl. A stream flows inside the cave. After visiting the cave, you can continue upstream if you feel like it and are in good physical condition. You then return the same way, keeping to and in the wet water.

Wadi Bani Khalid Upper: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We come from Muscat and drive along Route 17 by the sea to Sur (Muscat - Sur about 200 km). Passing Sur, we take Route 23 inland. After about 50 km we cross the Wadi Bani Khalid for the first time. A little later, "23" curves to the northwest, and we ignore route "35", which branches off to the left 2 km after Wadi B. K.. From this junction we drive 43 km on the "23" in a NNW direction to the next junction of a tarred road to Wadi Bani Khalid. You can also get here from Muscat via the "15" and "23" through the interior (216 km). We now turn right onto the road to the baths/pools of Khalid. After driving 22.2 km through the mountains, we reach Wadi Bani Khalid again. Here, however, we turn north towards the pools and the upper section of the wadi in the direction of Moqel/Muqal. We now drive 7.2 km upstream, finally right on the edge of the wadi. We park our car where the road leaves the wadi to the right.
Return: From the canyon exit back downstream to the car.

Wadi Bani Khalid Upper: Canyon End
Return: From the canyon exit back downstream to the car.

Funda da Ponta Ruiva inf.: Canyon Start
Approach: The approach road a few meters further, the mule track to Cedros goes off to the left. We walk on it until the concrete bridge over "our" stream. Here we get on.
Tour: 7 rappels, some possible jumps and slides. Substrate less slippery than most other canyons on the island. The last (8th) rappel (15m) we are also - bumpy - slid, but the receiving rappel was only about 1.60m deep and the subsoil a rock plate (!). 10m above the rubble beach the tour is over.

Funda da Ponta Ruiva inf.: Canyon End
Return: After the aforementioned last rappel and without having descended to the beach, you climb up a fishermen's path on the left - initially in steep terrain. Later, the path then moves up through open coppice forest to our starting point in Ponta Ruiva.

Approach: To the right up the long straight road leads to the entry to the middle part of Ilhéus and to Ponte Ruiva, Peninha and Cabouco. We take the mule track off to the left towards Ponta dos Ilhéus.
Tour: 6 rappel in mostly gloomy ambience. Then the view of the sea opens up, but as a rule you get off before the last 2 rappel that lead down to the beach (3m+20m). Alternatively, if the sea is calm, you can organize a pickup by boat.

Return: After the view of the sea opens up, after a tree trunk lying across the streambed, climb up to the right. Follow the footprints upwards until you reach the mule track. On it, turn right to the dilapidated mill and the bridge where the access was made to the lower part, then continue up to the parked car.

Approach: On the left, the mule track goes towards Ponta dos Ilhéus and the entry to Ilhéus inferior. We continue from the right up the long straight road, following the signs Ponta Ruiva, Peninha and Cabouco. A small sign here also points the way to the Ilhéus med. as well as to the Alquevins. The wide mule track, paved with unhewn stones, narrows and, after reaching the highest point, goes slightly downhill again. At a junction we stay left and a little later we come to the stream and thus to the entry.
Tour: After 5 rappels in rich tropical fauna we come to the C45, the highlight of this descent.

Return: After the C45 we leave the streambed to the right on an old, open, water pipe that leads to the ruins of a mill. Here we take the path to the left over the bridge and come back to our car on it.\nAlternatively, you can continue the Ilhéus inferior until the sea (see there).

Approach: We now follow this trail, crossing successively two streams and after about 30 minutes we come to a third, "our" stream (entry).
Tour: After a few meters, the first rappel (R1 - 13m) awaits us. There follow 4 more rappels (max. 11m) in the openly dahinplätschernden stream. Then several steps with a rappel überwunden (R6 - 40m). After that würde an exit möglichkeit eröffnen. Now begins the vertical part. Üvia R7 - 7m, R8 -35m, R8a - 4m, R9 -24m and R10 - 6m we reach the "Schlüsselstelle", an almost 100m high vertical wall, which is part of a largeßen cauldron and opens up an impressive deep view of the sea and the depths below. With a 5m - handrail we come to the stand on the edge. After R11 - 28m we reach the nächste stance, which is slightly offset from the fall line to the right. Now follows R12 - 40m in free slope. The next belaystation is located directly above the closed lava ring and may require a small commuter. Below the high wall follow 3 rappels, partly in the beam in a somewhat incised chute (23m - 20m - 16m). Then the geröllige Küstensaum is reached.

Return: We turn right and after some time we come to a rocky outcrop protruding into the sea, which is climbed around. A fixed rope facilitates the descent here (2016). In the following bay, purple markings lead upärts and orographic (!) to the left of the descending ditch. In 2016, on the occasion of the international meeting (CIMA), the path was cut out by the ginger wild growth, but this will probably be different in years when such a meeting does not take place on Flores. After reaching the plateau, we cross the meadow and rejoin the PR1FLO trail that we took. On this left to the car.\nIf one should not be able to find the here described re-ascent to the plateau, könntete alternatively another more pleasant and probably also clearer ascent möglichkeit offer themselves. To do this, you go about 600 m further along the geröllige Küste in the direction of the lighthouse. Then you have to look at the height of a large rock on the seashore for the beginning of a path that üover the steep slope above the Küste up führt (not verified, but from above the beginning of the path down clearly recognized and path in the topograf. Map to find. The beginning of the path is estimated at GPS: 39.513712° N -31.232629 E (WSG 84) or UTM: 25S 651932.4375277 (WSG 84) ) - see also the route sketched on the photo according to the topographic view. One comes on it to a viewpoint, takes from there the narrow Straße to the "Hauptstraße" and gets on it right up to the car. See me now confirmed by . So apparently also in

Silva: Canyon Start
Approach: Immediately before the bridge right down into the streambed.
Tour: A descent in tropical ambience awaits us with a total of 12 rappels, mostly from trees. Rappels 8 and 9 have the greatest height with 24m and 40m; all others are below 20m. At the exit of the canyon we walk out to the rocky seashore.

Silva: Canyon End
Return: At about the height of the large rock in the streambed, we make our way vertically up through the reed belt. We climb the steep slope without a trail and come across (at least in 2016) a thin rope that leads us to the right to the beginning of an old path. It leads us steeply uphill. Where the old path exits the forest, we turn before the meadow on another path, then cross a meadow to the right down to the now visible parking lot of the lower car.\nShould we have only one car at the top of the access, do not turn right at the edge of the forest, but continue straight up to Caveira, the last meters then on the mentioned Rua José Pereira Borges to ER 1-2. Here then left to the car at the bridge.

Approach: Almost exactly opposite the parking bay, an inconspicuous path disappears into the forest. We follow it in a roughly southerly direction. It changes direction several times at the beginning, leads at first slightly, later steeply descending down to the stream. On the map the path runs approximately on the green marked border of the national park.
Tour: 6 rappels, in between walking and downclimbing

Comment: Morne Mazeau, 600m alt.
Access: From the town of Basse-Terre on the western half of the island of Guadeloupe of the same name, we head north on the coastal road for 42 km (from Basse-Terre airport) (via the villages of Vieux-Habitants, Bouillante and Pointe-Noire) until we reach the village of Ferry on the Anse (Ferry = beach). We continue north on the N 2 and after about 2 km turn right onto a small tarred road that leads east inland. The road leads uphill and branches off after about 700 m. To transfer the vehicles, we first take the road to the right and after about 1200 m we reach a larger parking area for our car for the exit. Take the second car back to the junction and turn right uphill at a sharp angle. About 2200 m from the junction, we reach the highest point of the road (Sommet du Morne Mazeau, 615 m above sea level) before it descends again at a right angle to the left. Here we can see a seismological site on the left and information boards at the start of a footpath to the right of the road. However, we have to drive back about 250 m and then see a small parking bay on the righthand side. We park our vehicle here for access.
Return: At the dam on the iron bridge through the lattice gate out to the right and on the slope to the car.

Approach: We follow the road on foot about 300 m further steeply uphill. At the top, we see a small parking bay on the right and a sign 'Proprieée Privé' on a tree to the right of the road. Immediately before this sign, a clear path disappears in the forest on the right, We follow it until we reach the riverbed of the Grande Plaine.Those who have doubts about taking this path because of the sign, continue to follow the road, take the right road at a fork (in a southwesterly direction) and enter the right side stream of the Grande Plaine at the following road bridge. This also leads us down to the entry into the river itself.According to the description at descente-canyon.com, the descent in the river now begins here.However, it is still worth going up the river first to a longer attractive narrow section and its upper exit. Some smaller steps can be climbed on fixed ropes (2013). In order to be able to climb these narrows, Kuster/Silve suggest in their book an access via an orographic left side stream of the Grande Plaine, the Ravine 'Deux Ravines' (p. 113 ff). However, the access to this side stream is difficult to find, sweaty and ultimately annoying, since the side stream itself is not worth climbing.
Tour: At first nice narrow section, then we hike in open riverbed with a few more attractive passages. The Saut d'Acomat at the end of the tour you can jump, rappel, or slide in the dry rock hollow (right).

Access: From the town of Basse-Terre on the western half of the island of the same name of Guadeloupe, we go north on the coastal road for 31.3 km (from the airport of Basse-Terre) (passing through the villages of Vieux-Habitants, Bouillante and Mahaut) until we reach the bridge over the Grande Plaine (just before the Plage - Beach - Caraibe). After the bridge, we take the small road that brings us after eta 2.5 km to the signposted Saut - Jump - d'Acomat. Here we take the road near the river at a fork. In the parking lot before the bridge over the side stream and before the slope we leave our car.

Access: We come from the direction of Muscat and drive on Route 17 along the sea to Sur (Muscat - Sur about 200 km). Passing Sur we take Route 23 inland. After about 50 km we cross the Wadi Bani Khalid for the first time. A little later the "23" describes a bend to the northwest, we ignore the route "35" which turns off to the left 2 km after the Wadi B. K.. From this junction we drive 31 km on the "23" direction NNW, then we turn right and drive 15.2 km to Batan at Wadi Bani Khalid. After 11.6 km from "23" we turn left at the fork in the road, we ignore a track that turns left after 12.8 km. In Batan we park our car at the end of the road for the exit. For an alternative way to park the car for the exit, see "Way back". With the second car we first go back to "23", there we turn right again and head northwest for 11.9 km. Up to here you can also drive from Muscat via the "15" and "23" through the interior (216 km). We now turn right on the road to the baths/pools of Khalid. After driving 22.2 km through the mountains, we reach Wadi Bani Khalid again. Here we do not turn north to the pools and the upper section of the wadi, but stay on the road at the right edge of the wadi and drive downstream to the SE. 3,5 km further we come to the houses of Bada'ah and park our car on the parking lot at the river in front of the village.
Return: After the opening of the canyon we climb to the right bank, meet an irrigation canal and follow it, finally again under palm trees to the village of Batan, where our car is parked. Anno 2016 we got out over the dam onto the canal on the left bank and on this we reached a village on the left bank (Sayq/Seeq?). You can get there by car if you stay on this tarred road after turning off the "23", drive through the Wadi Bani Khalid and stay on the orographic left bank of the wadi until the exit of the road in the village. I.e., the two villages for a possible exit are opposite each other on both sides of the wadi.

The path goes up, sometimes steeply, for about 170 m to the altitude of 460 m above sea level. Here it branches. We take the left path (practically straight ahead) following the signpost 'Piton de Bouillante par l'Esperance'. The path is now not so steep, crosses a streambed and about 30 min. after the branching of the path, a clear view to the north of the woods opens up to us. About 5 min. further down on the left is the hardly recognizable as such path to the entry. The fork was marked in 2013 with a reepschnurschlinge left on a tree at about 2 m height (see photo). We are here about 510 m altitude above sea level. If we should have reached the border of the National Peak (sign), we have already gone too far and have to go back about 130 m.The tracks now lead us steeply down (in case of doubt rather keep right on the back) into an orographic left side stream of the Bois Malaisé, about 20 m (and a 25 m rappel) above its mouth into the Bois Malaisé.
Tour: Some nice rappels alternate with longer runs. Attractive rainforest ambience.

Return: After the 5th and last rappel (counting the access rappel from the side stream into the Bois Malaisé) we walk and climb about 30 min. further downstream. Then the Losteau river enters from the right (altitude 135 m a.s.l.). We continue downstream for about 50 m and then climb up the embankment on the right to a path that descends along the river towards the lower parking area. After about 20 min. and the final crossing of the Losteau River, we have reached it.

Access: From the town of Basse-Terre on the western half of the island of Guadeloupe of the same name, we take the coastal road (N 2) 22 km (from the airport of Basse-Terre) northward (via the villages of Vieux-Habitants, Bouillante) until we reach the village of Pigeon. At the end of Pigeon we cross the Rivière (= river) Bourceau. About 380 m further on the N2, we turn right in the direction of Birloton. After 750 m (from the N2) the road forks and we turn left and after 1100 m we reach the river Lostau (into which the Bois Malaisé flows further upstream). Here once a bridge spanned the river (destroyed by a cyclone). There we park the car for the exit. With the other car we go back the 1100 m to the road junction and here we turn left in a sharp angle (road to the settlement Négresse and direction Birloton). After about 2 km (from the road junction) this road ends and we leave the car here for the access (same parking lot as for Canyon Bourceau, altitude 290 m above sea level).
Return: After the 5th and last rappel (counting the access rappel from the side stream into the Bois Malaisé) we walk and climb about 30 min. further downstream. Then the Losteau river enters from the right (altitude 135 m a.s.l.). We continue downstream for about 50 m and then climb up the embankment on the right to a path that descends along the river towards the lower parking area.

Approach: From the parked car we continue on the tarred road up to the right. After 1000 m the tarred road becomes a dirt road and this crosses a stream, our stream, the Dufour ("La Ti Punch") a good 50 m further on. Here we get on.
Tour: Short rappel; here especially also enjoys the eye. 5 rappel.

Access: From the town of Basse-Terre on the western half of the island of the same name of Guadeloupe, go north on the coastal road for 10.7 km (from the airport of Basse-Terre) (via the village of Vieux-Habitants) until you reach the bridge over the river Beaugendre. Before the bridge over the river and before the village of Marigot on the other side of the river, we turn right and head northeast along the orographic left bank of the river. After 4.4 km on partly repaired and narrow tarred road - uphill and downhill - we reach a fork in the road. Here we park the car.
Return: At a strong bamboo tree on the left side of the creek, we exit to the left before the last and unsecured steps down to the Beaugendre and reach our car in a few minutes on a dirt road.

Approach: The access 1 (red color) leads from the parking lot P I at the Gendarmerie on the Chemin de la Cascade in direction NNW. Where the footpath to the Cascade Vauchelet begins, we come across a barrier with the official notice that walking on the path is prohibited because of the danger of slipping. If you nevertheless continue to the left past the houses, you will reach the concrete footbridge below the Cascade Vauchelet in about 10 minutes without any problems (here you can check the water flow). We walk the concrete footbridge to the other bank, walk downstream below the Cascade (towards the concrete footbridge), but then climb the stream (Ravine Roche) that flows in from the orographic left for a few meters until a steep path offers itself to us on the left - i.e. on the orographic right bank of the Roche - which we follow consistently on the ridge between the two streams to the entry E 1. The access 2 (purple color) leads from the P II square down a bumpy and gloomy dirt road, down into the small valley of the Ravine Roche. On the left we see some small wooden huts (see photo 2). Leaving the bumpy track, we set course for the huts on the left in the photo, passing them on clear tracks to the right and coming to the stream. Here, beyond the stream, this track must now lead into the forest and in this uphill also to the entry E 1. We had this description from a guide from St-Claude, but we did not search the other side of the stream sufficiently and thus did not find the path.The access 3 (brown-orange line) leads from the parking lot P III on the marked hiking trail no. 1 (cf. signs on site) directly to the entry E 2 for an integral ascent, which is not unrewarding even above E 1.The finding of hiking trail no. 1 at the picnic area is not quite easy.So we ended up mistakenly on hiking trail no. 9. At the latest when the path leads permanently along the open canal, you have to realize that you don't have the right path (No. 1) under your feet. However, this is no reason to turn back. The path along the canal brings us to the water drainage from the Noire (by the way, one used to get out of the upper Noire here, cf. D. Kuster, V. Silve: 'Guadeluope Canyons Gouffres Decouverte' 1997 - p. 17 below). Now you can either enter the Noire already here (at the beginning a higher rappel - from the tree) or better still, hiking down at a distance of about 50 m to the left along the wall through sparse forest without disturbing undergrowth, until you meet hiking trail no. 1 and follow it to the right downhill to the creek crossing (E 2).
Tour: The canyon is very attractive especially in the last vertical part - 8 rappel.

Return: Where the stream flows almost level under a brown earth wall after the last waterfall (see photo 21), get out on the right and head towards the concrete footbridge (photo 22). From here, follow the path, which is closed due to the risk of slipping, to the PI parking lot. Alternatively, after about 100 m from the exit, you can follow the clear footprints on the left up the slope (dotted purple line). This takes you out of the canyon much faster and 'lands' on the edge of a new development area (photo 22). You could park a second car in this area or hike down to the P I parking lot at the gendarmerie on the D 11.

Rivière Noire Vauchelet: Parking at Exit
Access: There are several entry points, thus several accesses and accordingly several accesses.There is a suitable upper entry (with an alternative) and a lower entry.For all entries, the exit point is the same. So we park the car for the exit on a large parking lot behind a school and near the gendarmerie (= police) (P I). We get there by driving up from Basse-Terre on the N 3, from St-Claude (village center) on the D 11 in the direction of the volcano Soufrière. In St-Claude, before the gendarmerie, we turn left on the Chemin de la Cascade and see on the left the large parking lot P I (see general map on photo 1).This parking lot (P I) is also the parking lot for access 1 a, so there is no shuttle here.For access 2 (same entry point - E 2 - into the canyon as in 1 ) one drives (or walks, if one has only one vehicle available) from the gendarmerie on the D 11 about 840 m further uphill. The road makes a slight turn to the left here, then another to the right. In this slight bend to the right, a bumpy dirt road turns off to the left. On the left of the road there is a large open space where we park (if we have one) the upper car for access 2 (P II). If we want to realize an 'integral' ascent of the canyon - entry point E 2 or E 3 - we drive with the second car about 1 km further and park it at the picnic area ('Beau Soleil') on the left of the road at 760 m above sea level (P III).
Return: Where the stream flows almost level under a brown earth wall after the last waterfall (see photo 21), get out on the right and head towards the concrete footbridge (photo 22). From here, follow the path, which is closed due to the risk of slipping, to the PI parking lot.

Riviere du Haut du Galion: Canyon Start
Approach: First on the road closed to motor vehicles the said 1.5 km up to the parking lot Savane à Mulets at 1140 m altitude. If you go from the parking lot on the road to the crater Citerne a few meters further, there is a large prominent boulder on the left. Just opposite the center of this boulder, on the right side of the road, take about 7 steps off the asphalt edge into the greenery, then turn left at a right angle and descend into a narrow ditch. Continue to descend in this ditch. Above on the left there is a concrete shelter. Continue to descend in the ditch, secured by ropes in all critical passages, as there is a measuring station below (2013). Right below appears a spring with gray sulfur water. Above left along this sulfur ditch (traverese rope). Descend through dense greenery to the stream, cross the stream and now on the right bank on a fixed rope further descend through the botany. At an upper right spring with about 40 ° warm, orange water into the streambed (about 15 minutes from the road).
Tour: 6 rappels, max. 40m. It is worth climbing up a dry side stream flowing in from the left to the rock face. The vapors from the vertical hot rock face are impressive.The belay for the 40m waterfall is on the left behind a small rock wall after a 40m tobogan, which must also be rappelled.The rock in the watercourse is grippy.At the exit of the tour you can take a bath in the 'heated' water basin at the parking lot 'Bains Jaunes' (yellow bath).

Riviere du Haut du Galion: Canyon End
Return: After the 40 m high waterfall, descend on the left bank on a secured path to the large pool visible from above. Turn right here on the path back to Bains Jaunes. From there, hitch a ride up to the parking lot or walk for 30 minutes.

Riviere du Haut du Galion: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Basse-Terre on the N3 up to St. Claude and continue on the road up to the volcano Soufrière. Pass the Maison du Volcan and the Bains Jaunes and after another 1.5 km leave the car at the parking Savane à Mulets. In 2013 is for the car at the parking lot Bains Jaunes end (950 m alt.), because the road further up is closed due to rockfall. A no-passing sign quite at the beginning of the driveway to this parking lot is apparently generally ignored.
Return: After the 40 m high waterfall, descend on the left bank on a secured path to the large pool visible from above. Turn right here on the path back to Bains Jaunes. From there, hitch a ride up to the parking lot or walk for 30 minutes.

Approach: We take the trail 'PR-V147', which first descends in a southwesterly direction, then making a wide arc to the north, to the spring fountain 'Font del Reinos'. Then it descends westward into the canyon of the Riu Girona (waypoint 38.788864, -0.136900 - 290 m a.s.l.). From here it is about 15 min. to the beginning of the Infern.
Tour: Up to 12 rappel; Partly difficult to go around the marmitas trampas or climb out of them.

Return: After the half-cave 'Cova Santa' and the exit of the technical-sporty part, we continue for about 30 minutes in the bed of the Rio Girona (keeping left at a fork). Then we reach the place where the path that descends from Fleix on the right slope in precise serpentines crosses the riverbed (180 m above sea level). We follow the path up the left slope until we reach the road again at the height. On it a few hundred meters and we are back at the signpost and the nearby car.

Access: After the A 7 has crossed the N 340, which is also a freeway, in the south of Valencia, we stay on the A 7 for another 62 km until we reach exit 61. Here we turn off onto the N 332 and continue for about 3 km to Oliva. From here, continue south on the CV 715 to Pego. From there, take the CV 712 in the direction of Vall d'Ebo. About 8 km after Pego we reach a plateau. Turn left at the replica of a windmill and continue for about 6 km (alternating between dirt road and tarred road) until you reach some houses on the right of the road. At the second junction of a tarred road to the west there is a signpost for hiking trails. Here we turn right, following the signpost 'PR-V147' and park the car in the open area in front of the houses (505 m above sea level).
Return: After the half-cave 'Cova Santa' and the exit of the technical-sporty part, we continue for about 30 minutes in the bed of the Rio Girona (keeping left at a fork). Then we reach the place where the path that descends from Fleix on the right slope in precise serpentines crosses the riverbed (180 m above sea level). We follow the path up the left slope until we reach the road again at the height. On it a few hundred meters and we are back at the signpost and the nearby car.

Duraton: Canyon Start
Approach: On said dirt road a few hundred meters, then you can already see the main cascades. Before the path reaches the cascades, follow the orographic tracks on the left slope upwards, bypassing the rocky outcrop at the edge of the cascade and descending in a northwesterly direction to the streambed.
Tour: 5 rappel, see photos

Duraton: Canyon End
Return: After the last cascade, go out to the left onto the dirt road and back to the car.

Duraton: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Madrid on the N1/E5 92 km northward or from Burgos also on the N1/E5 145 km southward, until you reach the Puerto de Somosierra. From here, enter the village of Somosierra. At the northern edge of the village, the old pass road - now a dead end - goes downhill. After about 200 m, a dirt road leads away from the old pass road to the right in an easterly direction. Park your car here.
Return: After the last cascade, go out to the left onto the dirt road and back to the car.

Nava: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car up the slope, it takes about 20 minutes to reach a green iron gate that blocks the path (1325 m above sea level). Continue on a hiking trail that leads south into the valley, where the canyon awaits us at the head of the valley. In 1 hour from Eisengatter you pass 2 alpine pastures and after crossing the stream you reach a large rock block with a cross and statue of the Virgin Mary (1540 m above sea level) - the exit area. Continue uphill in serpentines for about 70 minutes until you can cross to the right into the streambed at 1830 m above sea level. If we want to approach the canyon from above, we continue uphill until we can easily descend to the stream below the dam wall.
Tour: 18 rappel, see photos and video

Nava: Canyon End
Return: At about the height of the rock block with the cross and statue of the Virgin Mary on the right, exit onto the hiking trail and return the way you came.

Nava: Intermediate Canyon Exit
Comment: auf etwa 1830m Höhe
Access: From the provincial capital of Avila, which is well worth seeing, take the N 110 in the (south-westerly) direction of Plasenica. After 81 km you reach El Barco de Avila, drive past the village across the river, continue on the N 110, then turn left after approx. 4 km and drive via Navatejares (!) to Nava del Barco (approx. 11 km from the turn-off from the N 110). In Nava del Barco, head for the south-western end of the town and drive south on the tarred road (Umbrias). Soon turn left at a stone cross. You come to a fork in the tarred road with a large information board. Pass in front of the information board on the left and then turn left up the concrete slope. At the top, follow the forest road in roughly the same direction. Ignore a turn-off to the left downhill. This brings you to a bridge - Puente de las Juntas - before a steep ascent on a deteriorating track. Park your car on the right before the bridge (1165 m above sea level).
Return: At about the height of the rock block with the cross and statue of the Virgin Mary on the right, exit onto the hiking trail and return the way you came.

Approach: Follow the overgrown forest path to its exit, then stay on the transverse path. This path is exposed in places but always clearly visible until above the large waterfall. Cross the stream and stay above the rock faces along indistinct tracks until you reach a clear transverse path in the area of a flat saddle. Follow this path to the right to the streambed. Intermediate access. Just before you cross the Strmi ditch for the first time, you can also ascend to the right over a largely pathless ridge until you can cross back into the streambed on the left. You reach the canyon after the first 3 rappels.
Tour: After a short walking passages with a small slide, you stand in front of a larger clamping block. * 5m rappel from tree stump or rock head on the right * 10m rappel or downclimb from anchors on the right * 30m rappel over several pools. Anchor on the right Intermediate entry. Start of a short gorge * 10m rappel under a clamping block.

Gorja de la Fou: Canyon Start
Approach: We now continue up the slope on foot. After about 5.6 km we come to a water basin. Here we head south between the pine trees directly into the barranco. Cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=6951563 It is also possible to enter the Barranc del Retaule beforehand, cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=8826379 Access via the Bco. Cireres is also possible (see there).
Tour: 13 rappels; first running and downclimbing in the Barranc de la Carrasca, then the Barranc des Cirerers enters from the right, it gets narrower and the rappels begin. Where the canyon opens up again, a longer running section follows before we tackle the final section. Before this final section, you can exit to the left onto a path that leads down to the slope.

Gorja de la Fou: Canyon End
Return: Back on the slope we are at the car in a few minutes.

Gorja de la Fou: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We leave the AP-7 (Autopista de la Mediterrania) on the way from Tarragona towards Valencia about 23 km after crossing the Ebro at exit 43 - Vinaròs. After leaving the highway, take the N-238 towards Vinaròs for about 2 km, but then turn right and take the CV-11 towards La Senia. We pass El Castel and arrive at La Senia (about 18.8 km from the highway exit). From La Senia, continue on the CV-105 to the Pantà de Ulldecona reservoir (about 7.5 km from the center of La Senia). We drive over an arm of the reservoir and turn right immediately after the bridge onto a dirt road. First we ride along the reservoir, then we cross the river on its eastern bank and stay right at the next fork. Continue on the main path along the Barranc de la Fou until you reach a parking lot with information boards on the banks of the stream (10.3 km from the bridge over the reservoir). We park our car here. Cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2522177
Return: Back on the slope we are at the car in a few minutes.

Regatxol: Canyon Start
Approach: We now walk/ride as this slope and always follow the "main path", initially roughly horizontally in a northerly direction, then downhill in a westerly direction. At the double serpentine, the Salt de Cabrit (25 m) can be found righthand side in the streambed, which is secured and can be approached from the slope. Further along the slope, we see the Ragatxol disappearing between the rocks on the right (4.3 km from the junction). Here we enter the streambed and continue to the narrowing. Access from Tortosa (east): * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2210907 Access from Beceite (from the north):\n * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=10589202\n * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2810706
Tour: First a few rappel jumps, then the big rappel in the Kethedrale. Depending on the water level, the rappel height here can vary between 45m and 55m. Afterwards, a bit of walking and a few more gum hops, then we are already at the exit of the tour.

Salt de Ximenot: Canyon Start
2024-04-16: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Ximenot (Quelle:
Approach: The Salt del Ximenot has 2 branches. In the left one we find a 60m rappel. This is also specially regulated. We take the other, short one and follow the slope through the forest. After emerging from the wakld, we head into the right-hand ditch (NE) and follow it down to the first rappel (20 m clamping block)
Tour: 2 rappels, then the main canyon (with the C 60) comes from the left, we cross a path and after some downclimbing we come to the R 45. Then we cross a path again (our way back) and after 3 more rappels we descend into the Vall Figuera. In Vall Figuera we walk to its exit (see description there).

Return: Like Vall Figuera: At the iron signpost on the ground, first climb steeply up to the right. Then we cross the Barranco Ximenot, come to the GR 7.6 and over it up to the road. Cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=3632513 ( 01h 30' ) Follow the main road for about 1 km in a northerly direction to the car.

Penyagalera: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the signposts through the river to the northern bank and follow the well-marked path uphill. After about 50 minutes we come to a first saddle. We cross a rock bar and come to another saddle. We continue to follow the yellow-white or yellow markings. We now walk along the orographic right edge of a wide hollow. At a suitable point we descend on sight into this barranco. Cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=11363047
Tour: We come to the first 3 rappels, then a side barranco comes from the left. The route now descends in gulps until the next rappel, now already in a narrow barranco. This is followed by a run in the canyon, which is now open again, a few more rappels and then the highlight. We first abseil 12 m into the huge cauldron below us to a vertical belay on a ledge. This is followed by the 45 m rappel in the "Gran Circo". After 2 more rappels we are at the bottom.

Penyagalera: Canyon End
Return: We walk downstream, enter the streambed of the Río Ulldemó and walk in it until we reach the car.

Penyagalera: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We start in Valderrobres on the bridge over the Río Matarraña. First we drive west on the A-231 for about 500 m in the direction of Horta de San Joan, then we turn off at the large traffic circle onto the A-2412 and now drive south. After 6.2 km we arrive at Beceite. Here we follow the signs "La Pesquera" or the Camino of the same name and arrive on a dirt road in the valley of the Río Ulldemó.\nAfter 3.1 km (from the center of Beceite) we arrive directly at the river at the signpost "PR-TE 151 Peñagalera" to a small parking bay, where we park our car.
Return: We walk downstream, enter the streambed of the Río Ulldemó and walk in it until we reach the car.

Barranc de la Vall d' Uixo II: Canyon Start
Approach: Immediately on the right, before the water reservoir, head north into the right-hand Canal D'Ulleres/Vall d'Uixó I (signpost). Cf. * and * But we continue along the track. It initially heads south, then after crossing a stream it walks northwest. Later it bends again towards the southwest. Immediately afterwards, as the path begins to descend again, we descend to the right into the streambed. Cf: * http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2534274
Tour: First part (about 1/4 length) narrow, in grown rock, some - filled - pools; then (after joining the right Canal Uixo I) open streambed with plenty of water after a karst spring emerges.

Barranc de la Vall d' Uixo II: Canyon End
Return: Where the stream meets the slope below the road at a perpendicular angle, out to the (lower) car.

Barranc de la Vall d' Uixo II: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We leave the AP-7 - Autopista del Mediteráneo, Tarragona to Valencia - shortly before reaching the Ebro and take the C-12 northwards to Tortosa (not quite 20 km to the town center). Once in the town, continue north on the C-12 towards Lleida. About 3 km after the town of Xerta (and 14.5 km after Tortosa town center), turn left onto the N-230b towards Gandesa. After another 7.2 km, turn left again onto the T-333 towards Valderrobres. Not quite 14 km after the last junction, we come to a T-junction where the T-334 turns off to the right in a northerly direction towards Horta de Sant Joan. However, we continue on the T-333 for another 270 m before turning left onto the road heading south towards the mountains (El Port). After 9.6 km (from T-333) we come to a kind of picnic area. About 1 km further on, we see "our" stream coming from the right. Here - immediately before the start of the ascent - we park our car, possibly the lower one. With the second car (if the condition of the slope allows it) or on foot, we now ascend the slope. We reach a saddle at an altitude of around 870 m and drive/walk down the other side. We come to a water reservoir and park our car here.
Return: Where the stream meets the slope below the road at a perpendicular angle, out to the (lower) car.

Gravet: Canyon Start
2023-07-01: All levels ok. At the beginning water flow, which then fails in the course of the descent. The way up is a real clear climb, so do not follow any tracks prematurely right up!
Approach: From the parking area, continue eastwards down the slope and soon you will be looking at a cauldron of imposing rocky outcrops ('Guillerias') up to 100 m high.You now cross the Rio de Rupit again - here begins the canyon Salt de Sallent de Rupit down to the right - and continue to follow the slope until a path on the right leads down to the entry into the Gravet. A little later you reach the streambed of the Ravet with the first rappel point.
Tour: Short canyon with a beautiful 30 m rappel (5 rappels in total) in a magnificent setting. If at the beginning Wsser flows, it may soon seep.

Follow the path to the right (westwards) and continue along it under the rock faces until the entire path, clearly recognizable by the paving, leads in serpentines up to the plateau (approx. 25 min. to here). From here it is about 10 minutes back to the car.

Comment: die letzten 150m auf Piste
Access: Coming from France (Perpignan) on the A-7 highway, leave it at the Figueres (Nord) exit and drive through the city onto the N-260 towards Olot, Ripoll, and at Olot turn onto the C-152, later the C-153 towards Vic. At first the road is flat, later it climbs steeply and after about 30 km (from Olot) you reach the turn-off (left = south) to Rupit. There is a large parking lot before Rupit. Turn right here, drive over the bridge (the river is the Rio or Riera de Rupit) and slowly descend on the road (approx. 2 km) until you come to a large plateau on the left, where it makes sense to park the car if you do not have a four-wheel drive vehicle.
Return: After the last abseiling point with a larger pool, work your way down through boulders for another 50 m until you come to a path that crosses the stream (cairn on a larger boulder). Follow the path to the right (westwards) and continue along it under the rock faces until the entire path, clearly recognizable by the paving, leads in serpentines up to the plateau (approx. 25 min. to here). From here it is about 10 minutes back to the car.

Deiningbach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parked vehicle, first walk along the Deiningbach on its orographic right-hand side, first on the road, then on a forest path, finally on the hiking trail up to the Heimgarten summit; the path now leads along the Rotwandgraben, an (orographic) right-hand side stream of the Deiningbach. At around 900 m above sea level, you reach a forest path, which you follow to the right. Two hiking trails branch off to the left, but we stay down to the right and reach the Deiningbach again, which we cross at 930 m above sea level. The trail now climbs steeply on the other side on a hunters path. At around 1140 m above sea level, the path then heads NNW along the slope and leads us up to a forestry administration 'service hut' (1210 m above sea level). 50 meters before reaching the hut, an indistinct path turns left and leads, first slightly downhill, to a ditch (stream), then uphill again to the next ditch, the Deiningbach (1170 m above sea level, entry).
Tour: Mostly downclimbing, some rappels. The high rappel near the exit is now secured. Either return to the access path on the right at 930 m above sea level and return to the car in 20 minutes (recommended). Or continue down the stream to a 5 m waterfall; then turn left onto a path that later crosses the stream to the right and finally leads to the forest road of the ascent.

Deiningbach: Canyon End
Return: After the described exits on the approach path back to the car.

Deiningbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Either coming from Munich via Kochel or from the direction of Mittenwald via Wallgau, in each case on the B11 to the village of Walchensee at the reservoir of the same name (approx. 11.5 km from Kochel). Here we head for the Herzogstandbahn with a large (paid) parking lot. Directly south of it is the bridge over the Deinigbach, which we still cross to turn right immediately afterwards into the Dainingsbachweg. Here another 350 m direction SW and then park the car on the right (approx. 830 m above sea level).
Return: After the described exits on the approach path back to the car.

2024-02-11: Everything tip-top!
Approach: We continue along the forest road, soon we come to a fork, where we keep right ("Walchensee", "Durchs Eschenlainetal", "Heimgarten"). About 1,8 km further or 25 min. later we cross the Eschenlaine. 800m further (in about 15 min) we keep left at the next fork. About 300m further we come to the bridge over the slide brake of the Eschenlaine. The access to the canyons starts with a 35m rappel from the rods under the bridge.
Tour: After the 35m rappel, a first large wooden obstruction stands in our way at the exit of the large pool. We climb over it and begin the path through the dark gorge. It won't be the last log jam, in between there are walks and short swims, smaller rappels and the occasional opportunity to jump (watch out for dead wood under the dark water surface). After well over an hour, the canyon widens and the Eschenlaine offers several more possible jumps in open terrain.

Gachentodklamm: Canyon End
2024-02-11: Everything tip-top!
Return: We get off at the pipe culvert on the slope, which we have gone in the access. Now either directly back to the parking lot or after about 15 min. re-entry into the Eschenlaine to let follow the walk of the Asamklamm.

Gachentodklamm: Parking Entry and Exit
2024-02-11: Everything tip-top!
Access: From the BAB 95 (Munich-Garmisch-Partenkirchen) via exit 11 ("Eschenlohe") in eastern direction to Eschenlohe. We cross the B 12 and keep right in the center of Eschenlohe on the Garmischer Straße. We come to a covered bridge over the Loisach, cross the river and then take the Walchenseestraße on the other side half-left. After not quite 300m (from Loisach bridge) we cross the Eschenlaine, which normally has no water flow at this point. After another 300m the road bends in a right angle to SSO. From here another 1100m and we park our car in front of the no driving sign on the right at the edge of the forest.
Return: We get off at the pipe culvert on the slope, which we have gone in the access. Now either directly back to the parking lot or after about 15 min. re-entry into the Eschenlaine to let follow the walk of the Asamklamm.

Gerstenrieder Graben: Canyon Start
Approach: On the B 307 back again 250m (in a westerly direction) and then up the forest road to the right in a northerly direction. After about 6 minutes we cross the Gerstenrieder ditch and climb up the opposite slope for another 25 min (approx.). The path flattens out and we come to a clearing. Here a clear track goes off to the left in the direction of NW. We follow it, come to a forest canyon and descend it to the streambed of the Gerstenrieder ditch. Alternatively, you can also cross the slope in the upper part of this forest canyon in the direction of NNW and then meet the streambed a little higher (2 additional small rappels).
Tour: After a running section, a sequence of rock steps with pools begins, into which it is possible to jump or slide in some cases (after prior testing). Then there are some deadwood obstacles to climb down. 2 somewhat higher rappels follow before crossing the ascent path and meeting the marrow ditch descending from the left. In this further downhill to its mouth in the Walchen/Sylvensteinstausees.

Gerstenrieder Graben: Canyon End
Return: On the last rock step turn left and walk up to the parking lot.

Ambra (Inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: In the middle of the dam, on the downstream side, you can see a tiny cottage. To the left of it there is a door in the wire fence. Here first on some steps down towards an old dilapidated stone bridge. To the left of it on the brick dam foundation to the exit of the foundation, then descend to the right over boulders to the deepest point. From here rope in.
Tour: Relatively short canyon with beautiful rappels. Problematic is that even in the event of a malfunction of the power plant, the not exactly little water from the upper Rierna is directed past the small reservoir into the canyon and that too automatically. This means a deadly and incalculable danger.

Ambra (Inferiore): Canyon End
Return: After the last waterfall, swim across the pool and climb along the left rock wall. Return to the car along the path.

Approach: After the bridge, follow the trail above the bus stop-->after the first switchback, a path leads down to the stream (700Hm)
Tour: The Loco is up to the first exit possibility (shovel turbine) rather short, but beautiful and entertaining --> you have overcome the first small steps of the canyon comes already the highest rappel point (about 50m) which is located after the road bridge --> the stand is very exposed and is reached by means of a rope traverse --> there follow 2 short rappel and a slide, before you stand in front of the beautifully polished narrows --> here no way around! (rappel directly in the water course) --> after that there are 2 nice pools and a rappel point, where you have an exit possibility after the 2nd pool on the left (fixed rope) --> if you don't get out here, you have another rappel point -->the last few meters are rappelled before you stand in front of the small self-built paddle wheel --> according to the info, the 2nd (lower) part is not worthwhile, so we got out here (at about 510Hm). (Exit 1) --> if you go further there are more exit possibilities. Exit 2: Before the 45 m drop into the Isorno, Exit 2: rappel into the Isorno.

Comment: Exit 2
Return: Before the last 45 m drop into the Isorno, there is a small old mill on the left (Exit 2). From here, a dilapidated path leads steeply up to the village in 45 minutes. Another rappel option is to rappel down the last drop, then climb or swim approx. 600 m downstream in the Isorno to a footbridge and then climb up the path on the left. (Exit 3) Be careful at Exit 3 through the Isorno. The Isorno has an automatically controlled water intake (+41 91 756 66 15)

Bordione (inferiore): Waterlevel Checkpoint

Valle del Carcale: Canyon Start
2025-05-02: All stands good. Otherwise always trees present
2024-09-28: Water level top, anchors are sufficient ;-) Still a lot of wood in the canyon.
2024-05-11: All good, some renovation work has been carried out on the stands. Some improvisation is still needed in various places. Dead chamois out of the water.
Approach: 20m further uphill on the road we turn right up a path that takes us to the municipal water reservoir. Continuing steeply uphill through the sparse forest, we reach a cross path and keep right. After a few meters, a path on the right descends to the lower entry. For the upper access, continue uphill until you reach another water reservoir at the top of a small hill. Beyond the hill, the trail enters the streambed. See trail map: http://www.swisscanyon.ch/canyons/cartine/carcale.jpg
Tour: In a forest canyon rich in vegetation, running trails alternate with waterfalls (about 15).

Approach: From the car back to the bridge and immediately south of the bridge down to the creek.
Tour: Walking, downclimbing, involuntary slides and 3 rappels (8m - 12m - 22m) await us. The 1st rappel goes into a pool that siphons. If the water flow is greater, be aware of the danger this poses (when rappelling, you can go out to the left without having to rappel all the way into the pool). At the E-Werk you can exit directly or continue to the last step that descends into the sea.

2025-04-12: Currently very slippery and still a lot of wood in the canyon. However, jumps and slides should still be doable. However, it was too cold for us :)
Approach: Continue on the little road, which is now closed to motor traffic, until after approx. 500 m on the right a bridge leads over the Chrummfluebach. Beyond, the path leads uphill on the orographic left slope of the Chrummfluebach, which crosses the Chilentobel here. After about 45 minutes (from Besenbeiz) you reach a steel footbridge at a slide brake. Here you rope down into the brook.
Tour: In the first part quite open canyon; after entering the attractive narrow part can practically always jump or slide. However, it is sometimes inevitable that the first rappel and determine where to jump (!). Also suitable for beginners.

Passing Solothurn and the northern end of Lake Biel near Bienne, we enter the Swiss Jura. 45.5 km after leaving the A 1 onto the A 5, we turn off the A 5 onto the "Route de Bienne" (No. 30) and drive via Sombeval and Corgemont to Cortebert (7.8 km from leaving the A 5).In the center of the town, we take "Les Cheseaux" south and cross the Suze River and the railroad. Take the second road to the left after the railroad crossing and then immediately to the right and we head for the slopes of the "Foret de l'Envers". 850 m after turning "Les Cheseaux" we turn right on the road that leads southwest to a stone bridge over the Chenau de l'Envers (550 m from the last turnoff) Here we park the lower car. \nWith the second one we go back to the junction and then uphill in the "Foret de l'Envers". From the junction we go uphill for 4.1 km, then we turn right at a sharp angle. Shortly through the forest we come to a large meadow area, pass the first homestead and park our upper car at the next homestead (1 km from the last junction - 1120 m above sea level).
Return: Before the stone bridge turn right out to the car.

Approach: From the little church (with fountain) at the Romanesque bridge (345 m a.s.l.) we climb up the orographic right slope (not the left one as in Gei inferiore!). We cross a water gully (no path!) and a few meters later we turn from the horizontal main path to the path on the right uphill. Near the canyon rim it goes steadily uphill. At 705 meters above sea level we reach the houses of Cortasell. Passing south of the first one, we go up on faint tracks for a few more meters until a path on the right (eastward) crosses into the slope and leads us to a house above the canyon (730 m a.s.l.). Passing behind the house (water tap), the trail descends into the canyon, steep and partly exposed, but clearly visible.
Tour: Apart from the two high rappel you can downclimb almost everything (at the big block it goes in with the water right below - see photo).

2025-08-14: Lukewarm water for 30-40 l/s. Weapons ok
Approach: Initially as for Val Gr. inferiore: from the parked car on the path continue upstream, keeping right through the property of a "collector" and on a bridge over the creek. After the bridge, go up on the tarred road. This crosses the Val Grande again. Where you reach some houses, you go up on a mule track under chestnut trees on the right towards Salvabella - apparently a kind of Calvary path. At a prominent bend to the left (520m a.s.l.), a path branches off to the right under trees, signifying the beginning of the descent to the entry to the lower part of Val Grande.\But we continue up the main path, passing the few houses of the hamlet of Dömna (60m a.s.l.) and at 765m a.s.l. we come to a fork in the path with a signpost: we follow the instruction "Cortascia, Chiegg" to the right and at 800m a.s.l. we reach the stone bridge over our stream - in front of it on the right a somewhat larger wayside shrine. To the left of the bridge, a chute leads down to the entry.
Tour: Arriving at the stone bridge (approx. 770m) you can immediately enjoy the wonderful view --> to make the descent into the stream before the bridge left safe, a rope should be set up on the railing approx. 15m --> then it starts immediately with the rappels in open terrain R4, C37, C25, R30, R26 --> over the next small steps you can slide or descend --> then follows a rappel left approx. 27m before it gets narrower --> in the narrow place is left approx. 5m rappel (large jammed tree) --> several uncomplicated rappels follow in between short walking passages and small climbs --> when you reach the large boulders you have the option of taking the emergency exit on the left --> after the rock arch there is an inflow on the left and a large clamping block with the key point C26 on the left (the arrival pool is narrow and turbulent - -> dangerous if there is a lot of water)-> dangerous if there is a lot of water) --> after this breathtaking place there is a small narrow passage --> the next abseils are no longer difficult --> in between there are always walking and downclimbs --> at the end of the superiore the terrain becomes flatter --> at an open point (slight left bend) you have an exit at approx. 450Hm right the exit.

Access: From the eastern shore of Lake Geneva - Montreux - up the Rhone valley in a southerly direction. After about 17 km on the N9/A9 you reach the Aigle exit (no. 17) and from here drive straight on in a westerly direction to Vionnaz (from the exit to the traffic circle in Vionnaz) for about 3 km. If you are coming down the Rhone, the Aigle exit is about 21.5 km south of Martigny on the Autoroute de Rhône. From the traffic circle in Vionnaz, drive 60 m towards the center of the village and then turn half-left after 60 m onto the Route de Torgon, which leads up to the village of the same name. We now drive uphill in the village. 250m after the first left-hand serpentine, we park the car below an old barn on the right-hand side of the road.
Return: Follow the path along the left edge of the stream downhill until you meet the access path. Follow it back to the car.

Approach: 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.
Tour: 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.

Approach: 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).
Tour: 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).

Approach: From the eastern exit of the parking lot we come to the former railroad bridge, cross the river on it and then descend left into the riverbed.
Tour: Entry is usually made by jumping from the left bank into the kettle below the waterfall. You should jump as far as possible in the direction of the far bank to avoid being swept left into the eddy. This is followed by alternating swimming sections, bypassing smaller steps and running sections in the flowing water. There are always opportunities to climb the rocks on both banks and make jumps of up to 20m. There are also several opportunities to get out, especially at the large lake, which awaits us after approx. 250m (from the start of the gorge). After the large lake, the canyon temporarily becomes quite narrow again. The "problem zone" comes about 150m after the large lake. Several siphons, watery debris and rocks blocking the way present us with certain difficulties in finding and overcoming the path. After that, calm waters await us again and in the following left-hand bend of the Maggia, where it widens again into a large bathing lake, we exit to the right onto the "sandy beach".

Access: From Locarno in the direction of Intragna, Centovalli, Valle dMaggia we cross the Maggia next to the railroad track on the Ponte Brolla. After the bridge, the railroad and the road make a 90 degree left turn together. After this bend we turn right, cross the railroad and continue on Via ai Grotti for about 300 m until we reach the larger parking lot on the righthand side. Here we park our car.
Return: From the exit we go up in direction NNW, crossing the railroad track and then turning right on the big road for about 500m until we can turn left again into Via ai Grotti. On this we come back to our parking place.

Wengibach: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue on the road, past Vorderwengi (inn) to Mittlerwengi (2 small farmsteads on the left of the road) 1.7 km uphill. In the bend to the left, where the road leaves the edge of the forest, descend to the right over the free slope to the streambed, which is shallow here. A few meters downstream you come to the first waterfall.
Tour: Open waterfalls in conglomerate rock. It can still be walked when the surrounding canyons are carrying too much water.

Wengibach: Canyon End
Return: By the covered bridge where the car is, or before that, up the road to the right.

Wengibach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the highway N 3 Zurich-Chur we take the exit Bilten/Rotbrugg (No.43) - 5.5 km after the exit Weesen/Amden at the western end of the Walensee - in the direction of St. Gallen/Schänis and drive to Kaltbrunn-Steinenbrücke (7 km from the highway exit). Shortly after entering the village, turn right into Wengistraße. We now follow this road for 6.6 km until we cross the Wengibach on a covered bridge. We park the car here.
Return: By the covered bridge where the car is, or before that, up the road to the right.

2024-08-11: This canyon is accessible without a rope and superiore for beginners, if you know the canyon there are jumps of up to 17 meters.
2022-07-29: Fun for beginners.
Approach: From the parking lot we cross the road bridge, take the small road to the left after the bridge and after a few meters we come to an iron staircase that leads us down to the riverbed.
Tour: At the beginning with moderate water flow in the water right past the rock, otherwise left down. Even before we are high up through under the footbridge, the "washing machine" (!) awaits us. Walking and swimming sections follow. Before the road bridge - left hand mostly Altholzverhau - exit to the right onto the bridge.

Muota: Canyon Start
Approach: Southwards down to the dam wall of the Schlattli reservoir. Then rope in from the left side below the dam wall.
Tour: After the access by rappel below the dam wall river walk with some gradients. The 250m swimming stretch at the exit of the canyon mentioned in the Brunner/Betrisey book no longer exists (ascent July 2012) The reservoir has an automatic flushing system (Wernisberg power station Tel.:0418195070).

Muota: Canyon End
Return: At the Wernisberg hydroelectric power station, before the bridge, turn right.

Moisengraben: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot follow the hiking trail towards Ötscherhias. From Ötscherhias on a beautiful path upstream through the Ötschergräben past the Mirafall (canyoning tour for advanced) until you reach a fork in the path at the mouth of a side ditch.here steeply up to the right towards Jägerherz. The path leads after about 15 minutes into a forest road, which you follow north to a bridge over the Moissenbach. Here is the entry.
Tour: First, an easy hike in the streambed until you are in front of the first and highest rappel point (15m). Then the stream digs a little deeper into the rock and after a few slides you are in front of the 2m jump. There are at least 3 more rappels and a few slides until you reach the access path again.

Moisengraben: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: Parkplatz Erlaufklause
Access: From Mariazell on the B20 in the direction of Wienerbruck. After Mitterbach am Erlaufsee a road branches off to the left in the direction of Erlaufklause, follow this road to its exit. Here large parking lot.
Return: If you haven't had enough yet, you can hike down the riverbed of the Ötscherbach, at the syphon step there is a possible 8m jumps.

Approach: 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.).
Tour: 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.

Comment: Wasserstand
Access: 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.
Return: After the last step, turn right out to the parking lot.

Pissot: Canyon Start
2023-06-02: The whole canyon goes without rappel.
Approach: We take the forest path that branches off from the tarred road at the southern exit of Parlplatz and follow it until a pathless descent to the right down to the river appears possible. A little further along the forest path (approx. 200m), a steep path leads down to the river. At the bottom you come to a trail that accompanies the Torneresse on the right bank. After about 5 minutes, the tracks change to the orographic left side of the river, where after another 7 minutes we reach the entry point at the large rocks in the middle of the river.
Tour: Initially still in open valley we soon come to narrowly cut chutes with small slides and jumps. Swimming passages are relatively rare. Finally, the narrowness widens again and we walk the last meters in a wide streambed.

Pissot: Canyon End
2023-06-02: The whole canyon goes without rappel.
Return: We take the path that leads out of the river on the right, cross a small marshy clearing and come to a meadow. At the left edge of the meadow we go up under trees, meet a hiking trail and follow it to the right to the farm, where our first parked car may be. If we don't have a car here, we climb up along the edge of the meadow to the road (B11) and follow this in a southerly direction to the car.

2023-06-02: The whole canyon goes without rappel.
Access: From Château d'Oex in the Saane valley, we take the B11, Route des Mosses in the direction of Aigle (in the Rhône valley). We turn off the Grande Rue at the traffic circle and after 1.6 km reach the road junction at the hamlet of La Rosette. Here you can start a car transfer (not necessary and not necessarily worthwhile). To do this, turn right onto the road to Les moulins, Bulle. Continue slightly downhill for 500m and then turn left onto a narrow road that takes you south for another 600m to its exit at a farm. Park the car here in a suitable place for the exit. Take the second car back to the road junction at La Rosette. From here, continue on the B11 in a southerly direction - Aigle. The road now runs high up along the canyon rim. We drive 2.1 km from La Rosette, then we see a parking lot with a small road maintenance depot on the righthand side. This is where we park our - possibly second - car.

Approach: Directly in front of the parking bay there are numerous signposts on a metal pole, including one to "Colletta". We follow it and in a few minutes we arrive at the bridge over the Torrente Molino on a quasi-horizontal path through vineyards (see separate description). Continue along the path, pass the chapel at the hamlet of Coletta (670 m altitude) and, on the path that now slopes slightly, reach an orographic left side stream of the Porta and in it, a few meters downhill, the entry to the Porta (645 m altitude).
Tour: Relatively unimpressive at first, the canyon gains in quality as you descend. Finally, it goes down to the reservoir in an attractive ambience. Drill hooks are present and in acceptable quality. Mostly, however, only simply drilled in. Partly there are possibilities to rappel outside the rappel. Since the canyon is quite wide, in the boulder sections sometimes some time is needed to find the anchors. Towards the exit you can rappel into a "grotto". Not unspectacular especially for beginners. Water level control at the entry (see picture).

Return: To the right up the steep slope with a small climb (if you want to avoid the latter, there are also exits before, read in the book of Nizzola, but not easy to find). We come to a saddle and follow the path to the left uphill. We meet another path and we go up it first to the right, but at the first opportunity we go up again to the left. At the first left switchback outside the village of Vogorno we come back to the approach road (well, 550m a.s.l.). From here on the road or a shortcut footpath in a few minutes up to the car. Alternatively, exit at an old water intake. Here was a cairn on the right in 2023, then downclimb over rungs on the orographic right side. From the place you can see a piece ahead already an aluminum ladder that is installed "fixed". Climb over it. Afterwards, without a path (at least we did not find a clear path) upwards until you meet a path. Follow it to the left. One meets then at the exit of the bridge on the road and goes to the right or left (depending on the selected parking lot) back to the car.

Access: We go up into the Verzasca Valley until Vogorno (495m above sea level). There we take the narrow road up to Costapiana. About 50 m after the second (outside the village) leftward haipin bend (620m a.s.l.) we park the car on the right in a small parking bay.
Return: To the right up the steep slope with a small climb (if you want to avoid the latter, there are also exits before, read in the book of Nizzola, but not easy to find). We come to a saddle and follow the path to the left uphill. We meet another path and we go up it first to the right, but at the first opportunity we go up again to the left. At the first left switchback outside the village of Vogorno we come back to the approach road (well, 550m a.s.l.). From here on the road or a shortcut footpath in a few minutes up to the car. Alternatively, exit at an old water intake. Here was a cairn on the right in 2023, then downclimb over rungs on the orographic right side. From the place you can see a piece ahead already an aluminum ladder that is installed "fixed". Climb over it. Afterwards, without a path (at least we did not find a clear path) upwards until you meet a path. Follow it to the left. One meets then at the exit of the bridge on the road and goes to the right or left (depending on the selected parking lot) back to the car.

Approach: From the parking lot, walk to Via Malcarne and check the water level at the bridge. Continue uphill to the right on "Via In Cimalloco". When the road divides, keep left "Al Sasso Grande", there is another parking lot on the right. The hiking trail begins just behind it, which you now follow. Above the houses, the path is marked with a blue arrow and wave signs. Turn left twice to reach the bridge.
Tour: The tour is scenically surprising due to the many palm trees that grow in the middle of the canyon. This is probably why Luca Nizzola named the canyon Ri delle Palme. The ground in the stream is very slippery! T3 C5 C12 Mc 4 C45 R6 C6 T3 S4 T3 Mc 3 C30 T2 T3 T4 C12 C16 C8 + C24 (stand around the corner, out of the water behind the corner) C17 C24 (t4)

Return: After the last slide with a fixed rope on the left, you have reached the exit of the canyon. Follow the stream to the right until you reach a small bridge, then turn right downhill to Via Cantonale and left back to the parking lot. Get out to the right and follow the path outside the private property to the bridge. Cross it and follow the road uphill to the car. Halfway through the tour, there is an exit option to the left to the ascent path on a path that crosses the stream.

Comment: Ebenfalls Parkmöglichkeit
Hydrology: As some rappelling routes lead right through the waterline, it is essential to check the water level carefully before the tour! Checking the water level: If you leave the main Bellinzona-Locarno road in Gudo, turn right at the "Cottini" restaurant and continue in the direction of "Cantina Ramelli", you will cross our stream. The steps below the bridge may be flooded to a maximum height of 5 cm.

Comment: Départ de l\'affluent RD (descente)
Approach: Behind the pensioner's bench a path goes up the steep slope. We follow it and the yellow markings for a good 10 min. and then come across a track in the immediate vicinity of the stream. We cross the brook to the left and follow the tracks at the edge of the forest downhill. Thus, after re-entering the forest, we come to a bridge over the Braye, the right tributary of the Ramaclé.
Tour: We climb directly above the bridge into the stream. In the forest we descend in small steps. There follows a longer rappel into the Ramaclé gushing down from the left. The most beautiful rappel follows in a narrow chute, then under the road bridge and in several steps down to the Saane and the wooden footbridge on its bank.

Access: From Château-d'Oex in the Saane valley, we head towards Gstaad. In the next village, Granges, we turn right towards Gerignoz. We drive through a tunnel and then cross the river Saane. We drive through the hamlet, keep straight on and pass the large parking lot of a cable car. The road now bends to the west and 240m after passing this parking lot we turn right onto a small road. Here there is a signpost to the "Cascades du Ramaclé". 2500m after this junction we reach the bridge over the Ramaclé and after another 300m we park our car on the area between the road and the edge of the forest (the path we will follow back up from the bottom right).
Return: We take the path along the river bank downstream. Later it pulls up to the road and we come so directly to the car.

Comment: Départ 2 (passerelle) (descente)
Approach: On foot we continue on the road for about 200 m and then at the signpost take the meadow path that continues to climb in a westerly direction, along the high bank of the stream. It brings us to a footbridge over the Rigiaa - entry.\nYou can also "take" 3 rappel above the footbridge, but then you have to continue along the tarred road to the last farm, pass through the estate, then take the dirt road that bends to the west and on this, finally pathless, keep heading WSW to the stream.
Tour: " After a short entry route, downclimbs up to 12 m, small steps for downclimbing, small slides, some possibilities for jumping and beautiful green pools await us" (according to a commercial provider). He apparently takes the lower entry by the jetty.

Rigiaa inf.: Parking at Exit
Access: On the highway A 4 from Zurich (exit 38) or on the A 3 and Bundesstr.8 coming from Sargans, turning in Sattel on the Steinerbergstrasse 553, we arrive in Goldau. Here we drive on the Rigiweg under the A 4 in SW direction and drive on the orographic right bank of the Rigiaa in the Schönebodenstrasse uphill. About 300 m after the highway underpass we park the lower car. With the second one we continue uphill for 1.4 km, then we park the car at the roadside next to an agricultural estate. Here there is regularly trouble with the residents, who call the access road a private road. So recommended to walk also this 1.4 km.
Return: After the 200 m - flat section at the level of the hamlet Äschi we cope with 2 rappel (10m u. 5m), then a 100 m - run and some more smaller steps. At the beginning of the next 150 m - run out to the right onto the road and to the car.

Rombach (superiore): Canyon Start
Approach: Continue on Durschlegistraße for 400 m in a northerly direction until you reach the bridge over the Rombach.
Tour: Soon narrow parts, a series of rappels (max. 18 m in the upper part), then more open with a final run to the bridge. Here we path to the right onto the bridge. (Entry/exit possible here). Alternatively, we can descend further down the Rombach inferiore (see there).

Rombach (superiore): Canyon End
Return: We cross the bridge and follow the path up to Amden if we only have 1 car. At a conversion we take the path down. It leads us to the car for the exit.

Rombach (superiore): Parking at Exit
Access: Leave the Chur-Zurich highway at exit 45 at the western exit of Lake Walen in the direction of Amden and drive up towards Amden. The road climbs along the rock. At the next leftward haipin bend, park the first car in the parking lot (9.6 km from the freeway). Take the second car further up to Amden (another 2.2 km). 240 m after crossing the Rombach (already at the beginning of the village of Amden) turn left into Durschlegistraße and immediately left again into the large parking lot.
Return: We cross the bridge and follow the path up to Amden if we only have 1 car. At a conversion we take the path down. It leads us to the car for the exit.

Rombach (inferior): Canyon Start
Approach: We now take the narrow road and follow it uphill in a NNO direction until we reach the bridge over the Rombach.
Tour: Entry below the bridge. Then walk, downclimb and rappel to the high waterfall. After a handrail to the anchor (very slippery), you can abseil for around 60 m if you have an appropriately long rope with you. Otherwise, you will have an exposed switcheroo about 30 m ahead of you, which you have to swing onto (to the left). From the changeover it is then about 40m to the bottom. Then you come to the Fallenbach and reach the dam after a few smaller steps. Swim through it and exit to the right as soon as possible.

Rombach (inferior): Canyon End
Return: From the dam wall, take the path on the right (direction W) up about 250 m and back to the hairpin bend where the car is parked. At the dam you have to expect suction effects. Caution is advised! Since 2012 swimming through the reservoir is prohibited. A permit can be purchased for 1000,- Swiss francs incl. instruction. Without a permit a fine is due.

2024-05-31: Water level rather more than a reference picture but easily doable. Some of the stands are a bit outdated but ok. Beautiful individual passages🤩
Approach: 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.
Tour: 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.

Near the church that now towers in front of us, we look for a useful parking place.
Return: After the final waterfall out onto the road and on it left to the church.

2025-01-02: Very good conditions. No ice in the canyon. Some jumps possible.
Approach: From the parking lot back across the road "Trin-Mulin" and beyond in the direction NNW up the forest road. We pass the turnoff to the water reservoir (entry lower part), later the mostly dry streambed of the Trimosa and finally reach the bridge over the Turnigla. A few meters above the bridge we climb from the orographic left bank.
Tour: In the upper part powerful jet, from which one can usually keep out well (but see also above under "Characteristics"). Plenty of opportunity to jump. If you want to risk the lower part, the ambience is impressive. Since mid-2009, the operators of the electric plant with water tank require that their facilities may not be entered in any way. This also applies to an integral walk-through. Recently (Feb. 2010) one also hears about an allegedly imminent ban of a canyon walk below the water reservoir without any details being known so far (cf.: In the meantime, the ban on access and exit in the village to the left is a reality.

A few meters above the bridge we climb from the orographic left bank.

Verzasca (inferiore): Canyon End
Return: At the canyon exit after the road bridge, swim right across and out on the dirt road.

Verzasca (inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: We walk over the top of the dam (475 m above sea level), past the bungee device, to the western slope of the Verzasca. There we take the path in a southerly direction, first downhill, then slightly uphill again. After 100 m on this path, we turn left onto a path downhill. At around 425 m above sea level, this path branches off. We continue downhill to the right. The path exits at a pylon/polder. A view of the dam wall opens up. We now head northwards into the chute (rappel if necessary), follow it downwards, cross an almost level step to the left (north-east), cross - somewhat precariously - the slope again approx. 30 m downwards and then stand by a stout but striking tree directly on the vertically sloping canyon rim. It is not quite 50 meters from the tree to the canyon (it makes sense to take 2 x 60 m of rope with you in case you reach the canyon rim at another point).
Tour: The somewhat different canyon, of which nothing was known from above until now. You can also walk up from the canyon exit, but then the walk is hardly worth it. When roping in and down in the canyon, the screams of the bungee jumpers - the overhanging dam wall is about 200 m high - echo through the canyon every 5 minutes.

Verzasca (inferiore): Parking at Entry
Comment: Zeitbegrenztes Parken max. 3h
Access: From the old Bellinzona-Locarno connection road, on the orographic left side of the Verzasca, go up towards the Verzasca Valley. Park the upper vehicle near the dam wall (slightly below the paid parking spaces with the parking time limited to 3 hours). \Park the lower vehicle in Tenero as close as possible to the canyon exit. You can get there by taking the old road (Bellinzona-Locarno) across the Verzasca in a westerly direction into Tenero, turning left at the first road and then immediately left again.
Return: At the canyon exit after the road bridge, swim right across and out on the dirt road.

2024-08-13: Entry via side arm, lots of wood. From the confluence ok. Relatively good grip in the walking passages, somewhat slippery in the rappels.
Approach: From the car we first take the path in a southerly direction, then after the bridge we go downhill in an easterly direction to a single house on the edge of the slope ("Nebbia"-548 m above sea level). From here in a south-easterly direction on "path tracks" or pathless to the stream. You can also descend from the house on the edge of the slope and then rope in at the confluence of the Vira with the stream coming from the left.
Tour: Alternating rappel and possible jumps, Smooth terrain. Some unverified emergency exits. Climbing allowed only from May 1 to October 1.

Vira: Parking at Exit
Access: We leave the A2 at the Bellinzona Sud exit and drive 7.8 km in the direction of Locarno. At the traffic circle in Quartino we do not take the first exit to Locarno, but the second one towards Vira, Gerra. After a while we drive along the south-eastern shore of Lake Maggiore and then we come to Vira (Gambarogno). Here we park the lower car. \nWith the second one (or the post bus - departure 08.35 - 2008) we leave the coastal road and go uphill towards Monti di Fosano. After 4.7 km, at the bend in the road where the road turns NNW coming from the NNO direction, park the car (altitude 640 m above sea level). Here is also a post bus stop ("Monti di Fosano-Monti").
Return: In Vira turn left out to the road.

Zanaibach: Canyon Start
2024-11-07: Görsbach approx. 0.80m3/sec., the perfect amount of water for me. We set new anchors in two places in the lower part. In three places we went down improvised. Very beautiful incised canyon
2024-11-03: We could renew some anchors. However, some anchors are still borderline or missing (rappels from jams) From the high road bridge onwards, many animal remains in the canyon.

Approach: On the orographic right side of the canyon follow a hiking trail until you reach the other side of the canyon via a wooden bridge. After another 200m follow a thin path into the canyon and rappel about 25m from a tree into the streambed just before an erosion gully.
Tour: The abseil station for the highest waterfall (45m) is on the right behind the edge, belay anchors for traverse on the right in the corner. Further down, the abseiling points are lower but more aquatic. In 2014 there were many wedged trees in the area of the old bridge - downclimbing in the water is not easy. Information on current conditions can be obtained from Alphons Kühne: 7317 Valens, 081/3025044, 079/6603318

2025-06-27: Perfect water level, everything regularly jumpable. After the rain the day before, the stream had water right up to the end. The Chlostobel gauge was 1.1m³/s approx. 18 hours before, then 0.15m³/s on...
2025-04-01: Water throughout at the moment. The last waterfall is dry, otherwise perfect. Sometimes very slippery in the water. Stands io
Approach: From the parking lot in a northerly direction take the footpath "to the Thur waterfalls". First along the orographic left bank of the stream, but at the junction do not continue left in the streambed to the Thur waterfalls, but straight up. At the second group of houses, take the little road to the left (westward) and soon you will reach the bridge over the brook.
Tour: After the entry at the bridge, soon the first larger pool. This is followed by around 7 rappels up to a maximum of 13 m, which can often be jumped, in the canyon, which is not very deep. Then you come to the Thur waterfalls. If you want to rappel in the water channel, hang 2x30m of rope from the railing. In dry weather, however, you come to a so-called Marmita Trampa, from which an exit is not easy. It's better to go down a few steps and rope from the side 14 m directly to the belay above the last waterfall, thus bypassing the Marmita Trampa. Then you can also take 2x15 m of ropes with you. At the bottom, from the last pool, take the cemented iron brackets on the right up to the tourist path.

Approach: We walk on the road (after the hairpin bend) continuing slightly uphill, passing the cemetery on the right and after 750 m (from the car) we come to the church of Nostra Signora di Lourdes (310 m altitude). Here we leave the tarred road and follow the Calvary path uphill in a basically northerly direction. At a junction we take the mule track to the left. At the next junction, take the path to the right and on it you will reach the bridge over the Rio Campali (entry).
Tour: At the beginning, some nice rappel. After the C 38 then quite forest ditch-like, until the rappel again somewhat higher shortly before the exit of the tour. Exit then at the remains of a bridge.

Access: From Turin (if necessary from the northern bypass freeway Tangenziale Nord - E 64) on the freeway A 32 (E 70) in western direction up the Val Susa Direction Susa/Tunnel du Frejus/Briancon. Before the tollbooth we leave the highway by the exit Avigliana West ("Ovest") on the SS 24 in direction Almes. At the next traffic circle (after a good 1000 m) we take the third exit (SS 24) in western direction). We drive basically parallel to the highway. After 5.3 km (from the traffic circle) we turn right towards Caprie. 800m further on we cross the SP 199, go half-right for a few meters and then turn left into Via Papa Giovanni XXIII. At the exit of this road we park our first car near the stream. With the second one we go back to SP 199, then turn right over the bridge and go straight west through the village. We now drive uphill on Via Peroldrado for 3km (from the bridge) in serpentines. At the junction we continue straight on for about 200m towards Campanbianco-Celle and park the second car on the left before the bridge.
Return: After a large block in the middle of the streambed, we leave the streambed to the left onto a path that leads us to the car.

Approach: From the cemetery, continue up the road for a few meters until a mule track branches off to the right at an acute angle. Follow this and after a while you will cross a side stream of the Casco and reach a largely treeless shoulder (from the cemetery approx. 45 minutes). If you want to reach the interesting narrow part of the canyon as directly as possible (see 'Figlie dell'Acqua e dell Tempo' E2a !), go down beyond the shoulder across the meadows on clear tracks and then descend more steeply through the forest to the entry point (10 min.). The path is very slippery here, but a 'commercial' has secured it with ropes (preferred entry). If you want to enter the ditch further up, continue along the mule track towards the village of Sensati, which is no longer inhabited. About 100 m before reaching the houses, at a leftward haipin bend, a track turns off to the right, which is subsequently marked with red markings and leads down to the stream (see 'Figlie dell'Acqua e dell Tempo' E2b and 'Gole & Canyons' p. 70).
Tour: Open forest canyon at the beginning, then beautifully cut in from the middle entry to the large and beautiful waterfall. Then open again, but not without charm. Ground with good grip (limestone tufa).

Access: Coming from Florence on the A 1, past Arezzo and Orvieto, leave it 41 km after Orvieto at the Orte exit and continue on the SS 204 in a north-easterly direction to Terni. You still have to cross the town to reach the SS 209 ('Valnerina'), which runs up the Nera valley towards Visso. After 26.5 km from the center of Terni, you reach Ceselli (municipality of Scheggino), a few houses on the side of the road. Here you turn left onto a small road that leads to the village of Pontuglia. Where the road crosses the stream, you can park the lower vehicle. There is also a large parking area on the left 200 m further along the road. With the second car or on foot, continue along the road in the direction of Cese. Approx. 500 m before this village, the cemetery of Cese is on the righthand side. Park the second car here.

Celano: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, turn north, cross the stream, see a fountain on the righthand side, pass it and follow the course of the stream on the orographic left. At 1220 m above sea level you come to the actual entry into the canyons.
Tour: The somewhat different forest gorge - not without charm. After this tour, you can also walk down the entire canyon on the hiking trail, but you should then have parked a second vehicle at the exit of the canyon. To do this, just before (below) the village of Celano, follow the signs for 'la Foce' eastwards along a dirt road to the parking lot not far from the canyon exit.

Celano: Canyon End
Return: After the last 9m rappel, which can be bypassed on the left, continue walking along the streambed, past the 'Fonte degli Innamorati' (1029m), until you meet the crossing trail n. 12. Follow it up to the right (also orographic right) to reach the car.

If you don't want to go down the closed iron stairs at the dam wall, you go from there in an easterly(!) direction on a path up to the ridge between Cellina and the reservoir. After about 100 m, a small path on the right descends in a wooded cirque and reaches the river after a short traverse to the right and another trackless cirque.
Tour: Alternating walking and swim routes.\nIn case of emergency (dam above!) some exit possibilities to the road are opened.\nThe water is very cold - swim distances up to 100 m.\nOrograph. left. at about half of the route, the old river bed stretches along under huge boulders next to the river (worth seeing!); the beginning is marked by a natural rock arch (rock gate).\nConnection with Torr. Alba/Torrente Molassa possible, cf. there.

Torrente Cellina: Canyon End
Return: After the inflow of the Torr. Alba from the left, descend 100 m. in the Cellina and then go up on the left to the old road along the Cellina. Here turn left and then right onto the road that accompanies Torr. Alba. At the T-junction again to the right and through the tunnel back to the car.\nAlternatively, you can also go up the Torrente Alba, opening an additional alternative return at the confluence Alba/Molassa.

Stierkarabfluss: Canyon Start
2025-07-06: Early start due to the uncertain weather forecast. Everything OK, quite little gravel in the pools but very slippery rock. Always a nice tour. Climbed until exit III
2024-06-26: Water level normal, all anchors OK, no significant blockages.
Approach: From the barrier follow the wide forest road (trail 430) for 30-35min (1st fork left, 2nd fork right, 3rd fork right). After the 3rd fork, follow the forest road into the valley head. Just before the exit of the forest road, follow the visible path next to the stream. The path first runs on the orographic left side and then crosses the stream (exit). A wire rope on the other side of the stream is very helpful for the further course on the orographic right side. You follow the path, which is not always easily recognizable, until you reach a hunter's stand. From here you can already see the last 30m waterfall. From the hunter's stand descend further to the left (wire ropes) and across the boulder field (streambed). On the other side, a narrow steep path secured with wire ropes leads into the upper Taurus cirque up to 1040m (entry above the high 42m waterfall!).
Tour: The canyon is in a beautifully remote area and can only be reached on foot. However, the long access should not put you off as you only really gain altitude at the exit. At the start of the tour, you are in the large Stierkarkessel, where the first of 11 abseiling points starts without a long stretch. Most of the water is pushed out of the gravel bed at the entry, the water temperature in the first gorge is very cold. The pools in the canyon are mostly covered with gravel, but you get a good shower at some of the abseiling points. It is also worth mentioning that there are numbered badges from the Upper Austrian mountain and canyoning team at most of the abseiling points. The stand at the highest abseil point (42m) can be reached by means of a removable rope traverse. The chain anchors at the last two high abseiling points (32m and 30m) are very high, but can be easily reached. After the last high waterfall, there is only a small step that is quickly overcome using ropes from anchors (left). After this, you can get back onto the access path on the right at approx. 850m. We recommend following the stream for about 30 minutes without much difference in altitude (slides, small pools, nice twists and turns and small climbs). At the point where the path crosses the stream, you should exit to the left (approx. 800m) as in our opinion it is not worth descending further (lots of wood, short narrow section, one abseiling point). If you do go further: Part II: hiking canyon with a few mini slides. In the middle there is a 4m waterfall that can be rappelled or jumped - rock canyon on bedrock. Part III: Low but narrow with beautiful washouts in the white rock. Rappels (max. 10m) are only possible where tree obstacles block the gorge. The gorge exits at the mouth of a dry streambed from the left at the height of 'Paukenhansel'. If you want to walk the whole canyon to the mouth of the Steyr, there is another 35 minutes of walking through the Heindlbodenschlucht, then a short gorge with some jumps (unfortunately often dry - the water seeps away just before the gorge and reappears at its exit) and another 40 minutes of walking to the Steyr (possible jumps 3m before the mouth).

Return: After the 7 m rappel, there is a 3 m rappel and a 3 m slide before the stream flattens out. A brick path runs down the rock face on the right (possibly an ascent route?). After approx. 50 m, exit to the right onto a forest path. If you want to take the last two rappels down into the riverbed of the Pennavaira, you have to accept the re-ascent on the rope, as there is no exit (in the foreseeable future) downstream via the Pennavaire. According to the description at Geuna, Ruotolo, however, there is an exit if you walk a few meters upstream along the Pennavaira. From the marked exit, follow the forest path along the Pennavaira downstream. Where it drops more steeply after a basically flat course, the aforementioned hiking trail ascends to the right. We kept to the right under the rock face (maybe better left?). The path continues for a few hundred meters in the direction of Rio Lerca. Where it turns downwards (this would probably be the quicker ascent option - from the exit point on the brick path under the rock face directly up the right bank of the Ferraia? see description at Geuna, Ruotolo), we climbed straight ahead onto the rib and up this without difficulty until we reached the little road. Turn right on the road and after a few hundred meters to the parking lot

Access: We leave the A-10 (Genoa - Ventemiglia) at the Albenga exit, drive a few hundred meters in the direction of Albenga and then turn onto the SS-453 in the direction of Borghetto d'Arroscia, Pieve di Teco. After 16 km and a tunnel, you reach the village of Ranzo, where you turn right off the SS-453 and head up to Aquila d'Arroscia (495 m). Cross the village and at the end take the road to the left towards Levarone. If the ascent is via Levarone, the turn-off is before Aquila d'Arroscia. At this junction, 200 m northwest of Aquila d'Arroscia, the road climbs towards Caprauna to a saddle (828 m) with a chapel and information board (showing the circular route to be used on the way back). Follow the road for about 2.5 km until you come to a large open area to the right of the road. We park the car here.

Approach: From the latter parking lot, we walk across the meadows in a south-westerly direction towards the edge of the slope (GPS: 36°28'15.23 "N 29°24'59.90 "E). Here we look for a track that leads down to the saddle between Saklikent canyon (left) and Monstercanyon (right). From the saddle we follow the path that leads us in a north-westerly direction down to Bozudere inferiore (entry).
Tour: First walk and downclimb until we reach the 1st rappel. This is followed by 6 more in narrow canyons up to 20m high. At the 8th rappel, a longer handrail is set up so that you can rappel past a hanging col with a dangerous siphon exit. At the exit of the narrow part of the gorge, the vertical part begins, which drops into the Saklikent Canyon. The highest rappel - around 60m - is broken (15m/40m). This is followed by 3 more rappels until we reach the bottom of the Saklikent Canyon.

Access: First head for the canyon exit of the Saklikent Gorge. Park your car here for the exit. If you don't want to pay a parking fee, park the car south of the river.\nFrom here, take the second car and drive north along the road. After 2.7 km, turn right and drive uphill towards Arsaköy. After 6.1 km uphill, we come to a road coming from the north and continue on this road to the right in a southerly direction. After another 3.6 km we leave the road to Arkasöy and turn half right (GPS: 36°30'24.75 "N 29°26'25.56 "E). We follow this road in a south-westerly direction. After about 1.8 km we come to a T-junction (GPS: 36°29'43.72 "N 29°25'47.79 "E) and turn right here. After 100 m the road turns left, 270 m further on the road bends to the left - a side road leads straight ahead, an elongated hall on the righthand side - and 570 m further on (GPS: 36°29'19.59 "N 29°25'56.43 "E - covered bus stop) we turn half right. We now continue slightly downhill for another 570 m. Here - GPS: 36°29'7.36 "N 29°25'59.65 "E - we turn right onto a dirt road to the left. After 620 m, the track crosses "our" stream. We now continue above the stream in a south-westerly direction. After 440 m (from the bridge) we stay right at a fork (near the stream). Another 820 m further on, we see a fountain on the left-hand side of the path. Here (GPS: 36°28'46.59 "N 29°25'42.35 "E) we park the car for an integral ascent. Access here as described for the Monster Canyon superior. If we want to enter the lower part directly, we continue along the track and after about 900 m we come to a track coming down from the left. Follow this downhill to the right, as far as it is passable. We drove another 900 m and then parked the car (GPS: 36°28'15.71 "N 29°25'7.85 "E).
Return: Once in Saklikent Gorge, walk downstream, then cross the tributary from the karst spring (can be difficult if there is enough water and without the rope usually stretched here in season) and then walk out on the footbridge above the river to the parking lot.

Kabindra: Canyon Start
Approach: We take the path up towards Arkhale. After not quite 30 min. we reach the small schoolhouse at 1100 m altitude. Here we leave the path to the village and take the path here, which leads us at first only slightly uphill in a southwesterly direction in another 30 min. to the stream. Finally, a few meters downhill and we are at the entry (see Google trail sketch at "Photos").
Tour: cf. photos !

Kabindra: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel, arrive in the bumpy streambed and follow it down to the road.

Kabindra: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Kathmandu on the Prithvi Hwy westwards towards Pokhara. After 130 km in 4 hours - if we walk well - we reach Dumre. You can also get here from Pokhara after 67 km in a good 2 hours. In Dumre, we turn north into the valley of the Marsyangdi River and reach Besisahar after 42 km and 1.5 hours. This is where the paved road exits (2011). Now continue on a dirt road for 24 km or 75 minutes to the village of Syange. This is also the approach if you start the Annapurna Trek from the east, i.e. counter-clockwise. Here or in the vicinity (e.g. in Germu on the other side of the river) we stay for the ascent of the surrounding canyons. From Syange 7.3 km in the direction of Besisahr. This is the starting point for access and also the exit of the return route, unless you have a car on the road at Dod Kabindra Khola,
Return: After the last rappel, arrive in the bumpy streambed and follow it down to the road.

San Liberatore: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue along the road, cross the Alento on a bridge and continue for about 400 meters. Then, from the road, the view of a small waterfall opens up. 50 m further on, look for the path to the stream (470 m a.s.l.).
Tour: Nice walk in a forest canyon with fresh water. Avoid times with heavy crowds in the church.

San Liberatore: Canyon End
Return: After passing under the road bridge, you come across a hiking trail. You can now use this or continue along the streambed, can look at the tombs carved in tuff above on the right and finally comes to a small square with benches, where the path leads across the streambed and in a few minutes left up to the starting point.If you feel like it and who is not afraid of the ascent left through the vegetation, you can also take the 3 pools below the streambed crossing.

After about half an hour you come to a bridge with green railings and yellow stripes. A little more than a quarter of an hour on the Sentiero 744, then we keep left down to a stone storehouse and continue pathless and steeply down to the streambed. We reach this below a verhaus of freshly cut (April/May 2012) trees and branches.

We reach this below a verhaus of freshly cut (April/May 2012) trees and branches.

Comment: unterer Abschnitt
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road for a few meters and cross the Rio Freddo in a ford at the cleared forest area. (altitude about 440 m). With some difficulty, you will recognize hiking trail no. 3 in the cleared forest, which then winds its way up the mountain. After a while, it meets a road where you keep to the right and continue slightly uphill. At an altitude of around 750 m, you reach a ridge (approx. 50 min.), where the marked hiking trail no. 19 branches off to the right from Sentiero no. 3. Follow the now descending path no. 19 to reach the streambed of the Rio Freddo between its upper and lower sections. Note: If you also want to climb the upper part (highest rappel here 18m), stay on path no. 3 at the junction of Sentiero no. 19, which leads up to Passo Porraia (931 m). Here you turn onto Sentiero no. 18 and descend in a westerly direction to Rio Freddo (entry at 920 m).Even if you have 2 cars at your disposal, this is more time-saving and possibly more pleasant than the shuttle described elsewhere (e.g. in Gole & Canyons 1 - no. 11) over a distance of 25 km and the subsequent 40-minute access, which also leads to the entry point (920 m).
Tour: The information on the number and height of the rappel in the books and Internet sites differ quite strongly (2 x 25 m rope indicated). There are devices for ropeways (to get across the brackish water pools in summer without neo), The walked lower part of the canyon is entertaining and also suitable for beginners. In June there was still running water.

Access: From Luino, on the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore, we take SP 69 to Castello Castellveccana (9.4 km). We leave this road here to the left on the SP 7 - Via Galileo Galilei - in the direction of Nazca, Sant'Antonio, Arcumeggia. The road now climbs steadily, we see the 100m high Cascate della Froda (cf. Froda inferiore) and 4.8 km after turning off the SP 69 in Castellveccana we reach a prominent left-hand serpentine. Here we park the lower car. In the hairpin bend a footpath from the west meets the road. If we walk along it for about 5 minutes until we reach a footbridge (it is also the way back after the exit), we can check the water level in the Froda.\nWith the second car we then continue for another 550 m and then turn right onto the SP 8 ("Passo Cuvignone"). On the Sp 8 we go uphill for a good 1100 m and then we look for a suitable parking place.
Return: At the bridge out to the right on the trail and in a few minutes to the lower car.

Ribnica: Canyon Start
Approach: Enter directly under the bridge
Tour: The tour from the very top is not worthwhile due to extreme capping and lack of water (which is a pity, because the gorge would otherwise be very impressive). However, you could walk only the lowest part - from the lower parking lot follow the marked path to the second waterfall, then ascend via climbing tracks on the orographic left bank to above the escarpment and enter at a small diving pool: A short tour with a jump, several slides and 2 waterfalls of about 20m height.

Canale dei Ghiacci: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue on the road for about 100 m, then take a dirt road down to the right. After about another 100 m the path branches. Here the dirt road straight down. The path becomes a trail and enters the forest. After a few more 100 m it becomes almost flat. Here go down to the left to the entry into the stream. There is a path across the creek, the bridge is obviously washed away. About 50 m further down on the left bank are the remains of the walls of a former mill
Tour: The relatively open forest canyon has 26 rappels, a few jumps and slides. In the last quarter it stretches through washed out rock without any major drops and here loses its character as a 'pebble' and rappel canyon.

Canale dei Ghiacci: Canyon End
Return: You follow the stream until its mouth in the Aveto, which you wade through (attention: danger of water rise due to lock opening!). On the other side is the parking lot where you left the first car.

Canale dei Ghiacci: Parking at Entry
Access: Take the A1 (via Milan) or the A 21 (via Brescia) to Piacenza (southern exit).

Park a car in the parking lot in the bends at km 8. At km 12 - Ruffinati - turn right over a bridge and up a narrow, winding asphalt road to Lisore and on to a panoramic road at the top (approx. 1050 m). Turn right there and via Selva to Cariseto. Parking available in the village.

Serchio di Gramolazzo: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car directly into the creek, if necessary walk a few meters downhill on the left side of the creek before access.
Tour: At the beginning rappeling in a narrow, not very deep rocky gully - 1 rappel. Then the stream flows openly downhill in the forest, interrupted by interesting narrow passages. We pass a diversion structure on the left. In parts you can also go down in the forest at the edge of the stream. Then you climb and rappel again in rock gullies.

Serchio di Gramolazzo: Canyon End
Return: When the streambed flattens and the gorge is over, a few more minutes in the gorge, then out to the left - about. UU you pass a barn in the light coppice, then you come to a large open space. We meet an old path that leads us NNO to the hiking trail "GT 189" (red marking). We follow it to the left up to the road and to the shelter on the road.

Serchio di Gramolazzo: Parking at Entry
Access: From Lucca via Castelnuovo di Garfagnana northwards on the SR445 to Piazza al Serchio (or from Aulla on the same road southwards). Continue north and shortly after Piazza al Serchio turn left onto the SP51 towards Gramolazzo. Cross the Fiume Serchio and continue to Gramolazzo. In Gramolazzo, continue straight on through the town towards Minucciano. The road now climbs and after approx. 3-4 km before a tunnel, turn left off the SP51 towards Refugio Donegani. At the next junction we see a kind of brick-built bus shelter, a so-called Rifiugiola. Here we also find a signpost pointing downhill to the southeast along the "GT 189". We come up from there on the way back. We park the lower car here and continue straight ahead in the second car. Continue up this road. To the left below, you have a beautiful view of the S. di Gramolazzo forest gorge lying deep below. Pass a picnic area on the left below the road. After 4.6 km from the tunnel junction, park your car at the roadside. The Rifugio Donegani is located on the mountainside to the west, about 200 m further along the road we come to the Rifugio Val Serenaia (1100 alt.).

Approach: Just before the rocky hill, the path descends to the Rio Grande. The entry is at the confluence of Rio Grande and Rio dei Boschi coming from the right (east).
Tour: Only 3 to 5 abseiling points (attractive with 19 m) short canyon. There was not much left of the former slides and jumps (after high water). At the bottom of the streambed there is a warning sign 'Lock opening', but the dams in the upper reaches are only supposed to be slide brakes. The Rio Grande could easily be combined with the Colombaia, and the canyon is also used commercially ('Speedy Gonzales').

Access: Leave the Italian A 10 (Genoa - Nice) at the Arma di Taggia exit (about halfway between Imperia and Ventmiglia). Then take the SP 548 up the valley of the Argentina towards Triora. After 8 km we pass through Badalucco, 12 km after that, just before the village of Molini di Triora, we turn left onto the SP 65 towards Colla Langan. We cross the Argentina and 2 km after the turnoff we reach the first leftward haipin bend, where we park the car.

Approach: Go back on the road for a few meters and then turn right onto the spur road. Follow this road for about 50 meters and then turn right onto the trail (marked "Procanyon" blue dot on white rectangle). Follow this path, passing a group of houses at the beginning, until you reach the entry just below the junction of Rio Boschetti - upper part of the Infernetto - with Vallone Cavernasecca (1235 m a.s.l.).
Tour: A total of 19 rappel. In the Val Scura narrows, there is a redirection on the right at the 2nd rappel to avoid the descent into the small pool, from which there is no exit down. In 2012, however, there was also a knotted rope suspended in the pool (no guarantee that it is also always accessible from the water of the pool!).

Approach: Ascent on the road for 1.2km and then descend to the left into the streambed just after an avalanche gallery (between thorns and private ground). After 150 m downstream we come to the slide brake, where the entry (orographic right) takes place.
Tour: After a short downclimb, there is a first high jump. After a swimming section, you path onto a wide ledge (to the right of the gulch into which the water thunders down). You can downclimb this slab to the next jump into the pool below the waterfall (if you don't want to do this, you can also rappel the almost 20 m). Take the following slide slightly to the right of the middle of the current (there is a small cave on the left). This is followed by an optional siphon, several jumps and walks with downclimbs in the riverbed. When the canyon becomes more open, look for a path orographic to the right. If you are standing by a stream coming from the left, you have gone too far.

Comment: Größere Parkbucht links von Straße
Access: From the prominent road junction on the north-eastern shore of Lago di Como, take the SS 38 up the Valtellina (Adda valley) towards Sondrio. After 15 km we pass the town center of Morbegno. After another 6.8 km and immediately after crossing the Adda, we turn left onto the SS 404, which takes us into Val Masino (towards Cataeggio, San Martino) after passing through the village of Masino. 3.5 km after leaving the SS 38, the road to Bivio turns off to the right. A good 300 m further on, an overgrown forest road leads down to Torrente Masino on the left, a little later there is a small chapel at the side of the road. As the way back is via this forest road, park your car in a suitable place here. In summer, the few parking spaces are often full, so it is better to continue up the road until you find a larger parking area on the left just before the turn-off to Cevo.
Return: As soon as we see a granite quarry on the left in the now completely open riverbed, we follow clear tracks out to the left and then come to the forest road that leads us up to the SS 404 and the car.

Matassa: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot you go up along the stream. High up you can see the village of Scoppio in front of you. After about 1000 m the Fosso di Matassa comes down from the right. Continue along the streambed of the main stream (westwards) and climb up its southern slope until you reach a path (at about 590 m above sea level) that crosses the streambed to the right and leads up to the village of Scoppio (708 m) in a few minutes (beautiful view; about 1 hour walk). Leave it on the right and head NE on trail n. 12 that leads to La Costa. After a few hairpin bends descend into the streambed of Fosso Matassa.
Tour: The ditch with 8 rappel is basically dry and does not offer much else. The best is the promising approach via Scoppio.

Matassa: Canyon End
Return: After reaching the streambed walked on the ascent, back to the parking lot.

Matassa: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Florence on the A1, leave it at Orvieto (about 140 km after Florence) and take the SS 448 towards Todi. Passing to the north of this town, take the SS 3 in the direction of Terni. 21.5 km after joining the SS 3, leave it at Acquasparta and take the SS 418 (= SS 3ter) east towards Spoleto. After about 12 km and 2 km after passing through the village of Cisterna, a fork leads to the left towards Costa and Chiesa S. Onofrio. This road soon becomes a dirt road, keep left at the forks in the valley and you will eventually come to an open area by a spring. Park the car here.
Return: After reaching the streambed walked on the ascent, back to the parking lot.

Cross Piazza della Chiesa and go straight on downhill on a slightly sloping road in the direction of "La Montanina".\nPass the church of La Montanina on the upper left (i.e. south) (so do not follow the third signpost "La Montanina" downhill on the right) and always descend on the bad tarred road until you reach a road extension in Campelli above a rectangular water basin (950 m a.s.l.). Here begins the access on foot.\nNote: In 2012, about 100 meters after the turnoff to the church of La Montanina, the continuation on the private road was closed to motor vehicles with the appropriate traffic sign.

Approach: Cross the Torrente Cordevole and head towards the opposite valley cut of the Valle delle Montarezze. Here you can follow the path along the stream and see the final waterfall (if you want). The ascent trail leads up the orographic right edge of the slope until a path overgrown with grass runs horizontally westwards to the entry point.
Tour: 6 rappels in direct succession without major walking passages. Worthwhile in view of the short approach time. As of May 2024, the stands are of varying quality. The Valle delle Montarezze is located in the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti; the ascent of canyons has so far been tolerated, but you should not risk an encounter with the rangers. The A.I.C. management has been negotiating with the national park administration for some time in this regard.

About 5.5 km after Mas you come to the houses of the hamlet of Casa Candaten, where there is also a camper van site and a picnic area to the west of the road. It is best to park your car a few hundred meters before reaching the houses of Candaten in a side path to the left of the road (dead end).
Return: After the last waterfall exit to the right, turn left over the footbridge and then through Torrente Cordevole back to the car.

Return: At the height of a small dam with a large water reservoir below (ENEL), we climb out to the left onto a poor path, join another path coming down from the left and then come to a road which we follow into Airole. A further descent is not recommended because of the water catchment and the somewhat smelly water from it.

Montixi: Canyon Start
Comment: A 1 (430m) (descente)
Approach: From the central square (church on the left and fountain in the middle) in Airole, head east up the road (Via Garibaldi) with the stair-like flat steps (signposts "Rocchetta" and "Basse d'Abellio"). We are now on "Sentiero 1" on the internet map (CWiki). We soon turn left at the first signpost (towards Monte Abellio; to the right would take us to Valle Para), a few meters further on we turn right. We now follow the path uphill, which is marked with white and red markings. Passing a fountain, we come to the road to Fasceo, leave it again after a few meters to the left (towards Monte Abellio) to climb steeply up to the small saddle ("Croce del Coletto"), from where we have a beautiful (rear) view of Airole and the Roya Valley. Follow the path for about 250 m, then turn left onto a small path that runs horizontally along the slope. We walk along this path for about half an hour and then come to the ruined houses of Case Sorvan (460 m above sea level). We pass the first ruined house and a few meters further on take a poorly visible path to the left, which we follow downhill through the trees to the stream (430 m a.s.l.). Folléas-Giminez describe an access path always close to the stream and we enter about 130 m further down (300 m a.s.l.).
Tour: Sequence of smaller rappels, some with possible jumps, running routes in between.

Pedena: Canyon Start
Approach: At the top of the hairpin bend, take the path that leads up in a south-easterly direction to the Madonna delle Grazie church (1160 m above sea level). From here, continue south-east along the former road to the Passo di San Marco, then descend in hairpin bends. We cross a torrent and soon reach the road bridge over the Pedena. If you want to shorten the tour by a good hour, you can get on here below the bridge at a water drainage. Otherwise, take the path on the other side of the bridge along the stream up to an altitude of 1120 m above sea level (a good 15 minutes from the bridge).
Tour: Many, but not very attractive rappels, some slides and relatively many possible jumps.

Pedena: Canyon End
Return: About 150m before the Pedena flows into the Bitto di Albaredo, there is a small wooded and grassy gravel terrace to the right and slightly above the Pedena. An inconspicuous track begins at its eastern end, which soon becomes recognizable as an old path and leads up to the road. In 2012, the bark had been chipped off a tree as a marker. We also placed 2 cairns.

Pedena: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Morbegno take the SP 8 to the mountain pass of San Marco. It goes up in a southerly direction in serpentines to the Valle Campoerbolo. After 10 km (from Morbegno) we cross the village of Albaredo Per San Marco. 2 km after this village we come to a hairpin bend to the left and we park the car in this area.

Approach: Cross the bridge and immediately after it take the forest path to the right (south). Follow the trail until you reach a small power plant access tunnel, which is blocked with an iron gate. Here follow the tracks to the right (somewhat exposed) until you reach a tunnel window that is also barred. Here you come across the first rappel (sling around tree).
Tour: At the beginning, descend the rockfall-prone flank for about 55m. Intermediate position after about 30m, slightly offset to the left, above a rock wall, over which you rappel another good 30m. Below the rock wall you cross to the left and come in a wide right turn down into the streambed (about 920m a.s.l.). \After a short run, the long series of rappels (about 20 in total) begins, leading into an increasingly narrow canyon. Caution: sharp edges on some of the rappels.

Comment: Parkplatz oben. Unmittelbar vor oder nach der Brücke über die Schlucht des Lumiei.
Access: As for the Lumiei (see there). If you follow the Lumiei walk, leave the lower car at the parking exit of the Lumiei. If you want to get out before the Lumiei, leave the lower car at the parking entry to the Lumiei. Continue with the second car to the bridge over the Lumiei. Park in front of the bridge, as there is little parking space on the other side and it is dangerous to exit onto the road directly at the mouth of the tunnel.
Return: Where the canyon widens decisively, climbing tracks go up on the right, over which one comes to the footbridge over the Lumiei and up to the lower vehicle (if one wants to connect the Lumiei, a nice 20m rappel leads down into the Lumiei at the lower exit of the widening). Alternatively, you can follow the path up to the bridge and then start this tour as in the Lumiei description. In this way you also experience the most impressive part of the Lumiei Gorge.

Alternatively, you can follow the path up to the bridge and then start this tour as in the Lumiei description. In this way you also experience the most impressive part of the Lumiei Gorge.

Castiglione: Canyon Start
Approach: In front of the house, a path leads to the left in a southerly direction, first slightly uphill, then down to a bridge over the Castiglione. In order to 'take in' the beautiful first waterfall, it makes sense not to rope in from the bridge, but to follow the path for another 50 m or so, and then cross into the stream.
Tour: Attractive canyon, narrow in places, with a luxurious pulley to protect the rope on the final 33 m rappel.

Castiglione: Canyon End
Return: After the 33 m waterfall in the streambed down, then later on the orogrf. left bank of the stream coming from the right up to the picnic area at the road bridge.

Castiglione: Parking at Entry
Access: We leave the A 3 (Naples - Reggio di Calabria) at the Mormanno/Scalea exit and take the N 504 in a south-westerly direction (Papasidero, Scalea). After 17 km we reach Papasidero in the Lao Valley. About 400 m before Papasidero, we turn left in a sharp right-hand bend (signpost: 'C. da Vitimoso') onto a narrow road and after about 1 km we come to a bridge where we park the lower vehicle and continue uphill in serpentines for about 900 m with the second vehicle. At a concrete block with a water tap, we turn right and drive another 1100 m up the slope to a house on the left. Park the second vehicle here.
Return: After the 33 m waterfall in the streambed down, then later on the orogrf. left bank of the stream coming from the right up to the picnic area at the road bridge.

Approach: 50 m further on, in the direction of the tunnel, a dirt road branches off to the left, which we follow downhill high above the Ponale. We come to a paved road that now descends more steeply until we come to a narrow tarred road that is now mainly used as a bike path. Keeping to the left on the little road, we come to a bridge high above the Ponale. It is possible to rappel directly from the bridge into the streambed (about 55 m) or (easier) with the help of a rope to cross the iron gate at the northern end of the bridge and to reach the bottom of the streambed on the path that follows (a few meters before an old water drainage down into the streambed).
Tour: Besides rappels, there are also slides and jumps. The final passage with the swim out into the lake under a huge rock bridge is overwhelming. Since slightly above the access a sewage plant discharges the hopefully well cleaned sewage, the underground is usually slippery and you should choose a time after heavy precipitation for the ascent.

Return: After the last waterfall, keeping left through the rock gate and swimming out into the lake, after about 30 meters you reach a small brick platform. Over this we come across the remains of a path, which first over the rock arch meets a partially still paved path, which leads us up to the tarred road and then further, the access path now back up to the car.

Access: From Riva del Garda on the SS 240 in the direction of Lake Ledro. About 350 m after the exit of the long tunnel section, turn left over the bridge (below the T. Ponale) in the direction of Pregasina. About 300 m after the bridge and about 100 m before the tunnel there is a large parking bay on the left of the road. Park your car here.

2024-06-02: All is well. Well equipped.
Approach: From the cemetery, take hiking trail no. 13 in a south-westerly direction, always climbing gently and evenly, and in about 20 minutes you will reach an iron footbridge that passes a rock face above the canyon. If you are - rightly - sceptical about the structural condition of this footbridge (accessible with great caution in 2019), you can rappel into the canyon from the chain anchor marked as an entry point on the rock just before the footbridge, but you would probably have to bring rope for a rappel of 30-40 m (estimated). Otherwise, carefully feel your way over the footbridge and then keep immediately left down into the streambed of the Presale at a mighty old but dilapidated weir structure. Here is the 1st abseil point from a small tree.
Tour: 12 rappels, few low possible jumps. Interesting rock formations in the diagonally banked limestone.

Presale: Parking at Entry
Access: Take the A-14, pass Cattólica and Pesaro until the exit at Fano. Continue on the SS-3 and after 39 km leave it and go west on the SS-257 to Pióbbico (17 km). About 1 km before Pióbbico turn south on the road to Secchiano and Cagli. After another kilometer, just after the hamlet of Acquanera, you pass the turnoff for Monte Nerone, but go straight on here and a few hundred meters further on, on a saddle, you reach the small walled cemetery of Rocca Leonella.This is where the access begins. Park the car about 1 km further on - past a spring - on the road to Rocca Leonella at the bridge over the Presale. (if you come from Secchiano, it is exactly 9.7 km from the junction to the bridge).
Return: At the exit the type of rock changes (red slate). You descend the last small steps in this rock and walk about 100 m in the stream.

2025-06-29: all ok, last unequipped puddles avoided with path on left bank, very convenient exit directly into restaurant
Comment: Cwiki start // depart Prialunga sup. (descente)
Approach: From the car, continue along the road, past the driveway to the agriturismo and immediately after the bridge over the next stream, the Rio Scagion, turn right up steeply through the chestnut forest (signs: "Prialunga"). The path reaches the stream and swings up to the left. Here we cross the stream to the right and about 20 m after the ford over the stream, our ascent path branches off to the left from the mule track (small sign: "Prialunga" on the tree) and climbs steeply again, always marked in yellow. At first along the Rio Scagion, then swinging off to the right. Continue to the left at a large vertical pipe valve of a water pipe. The path now leads past a concrete water intake on the right and horizontally along a wall with beautiful views of the sea. At the exit of the wall, a very steep path leads straight up on the left (to the upper entry), which is still marked in yellow. You reach another water catchment point, after which the path becomes a little easier and less steep towards the head of the valley. When you can see the stream below you, a yellow spot on the rock below shows you the entry point.
Tour: Very fresh and clean water, but slippery rock. After an open start, the canyon cuts in and surprises with impressive drops, the highest of which is 28m. The upper part offers only 2 rappels (30 and 25 m).

Return: After a water drainage with a thick black hose follows another abseil from the upper surface of a large boulder through a channel-like narrow chute, then follows a pool of about 40 m in length to swim through. At the exit of this pool an inconspicuous path leads along the left side above the pool, which after a steep descent through bushes leads back to the pool. At the next large pool turn right and after 30 m you are back at the car.

Prialunga: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Leave the A 10 freeway from Genoa in the direction of Ventimiglia at Arenzano and continue on the SS 1 ("Aurelia") in the direction of Savona until Cogoleto. At the end of the town, turn right in the direction of Sciarborasca (directions! )\nShortly before Sciarborasca, there is a striking large building on the right below, which looks like a "Palace of Culture". Here a wide road leading down to this building branches off to the right. Opposite, we turn left into the narrow Via al Deserto and continue on a narrow tarred road towards Convento Deserto. 1.4 km after the junction with Via al Deserto, go straight on at a wayside shrine (sign "Eremo"). We cross a stream on a concrete ford to the left in our direction of travel and after another 1.4 km we cross another stream again in our direction of travel to the left and 400 m further on a very narrow bridge the same stream to the right. In a leftward haipin bend is the monastery "Eremo al Deserto". About 1 km after this, the road crosses the Rio Prialunga about 6.7 km after the turnoff in Sciarborasca. Here, just after the bridge, park the car on the right in front of a Marian shrine.
Return: After a water drainage with a thick black hose follows another abseil from the upper surface of a large boulder through a channel-like narrow chute, then follows a pool of about 40 m in length to swim through. At the exit of this pool an inconspicuous path leads along the left side above the pool, which after a steep descent through bushes leads back to the pool.

Approach: On the road a few hundred meters north, before reaching the hamlet of Cosa, the trail branches off to the right and climbs steeply to San Lorenzo. Pass the chapel on the left, then turn right at the next fork and reach the ruins of the hamlet of Mura. We have now reached the canyon rim and follow the red arrows on a partly thorny path down to the stone bridge over the stream.
Tour: At the beginning it is first necessary to overcome a stone chaos. Then follow 2 rappels to the mouth of the left side stream Focia. Now begins a constant alternation of rappels, jumps, slides and of course downclimbing. Technically demanding is then a handrail on the steep rock to avoid a descent in the beam at C 25. After a few narrow passages, you finally rope into the swimming pool of the village of Quarata.

If you have only one car and you are walking from Roscigno, you should take the meadows on the right (in southeastern direction) down to Sammaro as soon as possible. The author has taken a dirt road branching off the road, then had to cross only about 100 m over a tree-covered field (private property) to reach the stream. Thus, one saves a not inconsiderable detour.
Tour: Narrow and deeply incised great canyon; after the rappel at the beginning of the narrow section and another after about the first third, several rappels in immediate succession from the road bridge onwards.

Approach: From the upper parking lot in a southeasterly direction down to a side stream of the Sammaro, in this and later in the Sammaro itself downstream to the beginning of the gorge. If you have only one car and you are walking from Roscigno, you should take the meadows on the right (in southeastern direction) down to Sammaro as soon as possible. The author has taken a dirt road branching off the road, then had to cross only about 100 m over a tree-covered field (private property) to reach the stream. Thus, one saves a not inconsiderable detour.
Tour: Narrow and deeply incised great canyon; after the rappel at the beginning of the narrow section and another after about the first third, several rappels in immediate succession from the road bridge onwards.

Sammaro: Parking at Entry
Access: We leave the A 3 (Naples - Reggio di Calabria) at the Atena Lucana exit. Then we cross the Vallo di Diano on the N 166 and we come up to S. Rufo (9 km from the A 3). Through the village we go up to the col (930 m a.s.l.) and on the other side we go down. About 10 km after S. Rufo we turn left towards Roscigno. At the beginning of Roscigno we turn left and head southeast towards Sacco. We cross the Torrente Sammaro at about 80 m above the river. At the first houses of Sacco turn right and follow the sign 'Sorgente Sammaro' downhill.At a sharp bend to the left the track from the Sammaro comes up from the right below. Take the second car back in the direction of Roscigno, cross the bridge, pass the cemetery and about 500 m further on turn right onto a tarred road in an easterly direction. At its exit (after about 3 km from the fork) park the second car.
Return: At the exit of the canyon, turn left (AIC marking, blue dot on white rectangle), pass under the rock arch onto the well-maintained path and later up the slope on the left towards Sacco. This brings you to the tarred road.

San Sebastiano: Canyon Start
Approach: Before (on approach) the described meadow area, the narrowly cut canyon ends in an undercrossing of the road. 100 m further northwest, the access goes steeply uphill in front of a square concrete cover in a westerly direction, first slippery and on the left over a small mossy rock band, then up over boulders (do not trigger rockfall - road below!), barely recognizable footprints. Then in a long left turn to the entry - 35 min. (cf. photos with trail sketches).
Tour: 10 rappel in the lower part. Good overview from the access to Grotta/Eremita Frasassi on the opposite slope.

San Sebastiano: Canyon End
Return: Before the road bridge on the right up the concrete wall to the road.

San Sebastiano: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the A14 Adriatic coastal freeway, at Ancona, take the SS76 towards Rome, passing Jesi and heading southwest into the Apennines. About 40 km after leaving the highway, at Frasassi, turn off in the direction of Sassoferrato. Past the parking lot for visitors to the show cave, past the entrance to the show cave, about 100 m further on, on the right, there is a small meadow area (on the right, below it, the river). About 300 m further on there is a parking lot (beware of theft!).
Return: Before the road bridge on the right up the concrete wall to the road.

Santa Lucia I (Superiore): Canyon Start
Approach: Even if you walk from the bottom (in about 1.5 hours), turn left at this house across the meadows (south-east direction), passing a chestnut tree on the left (photo 1). Over a small embankment you come to a grassy slope, which you follow to the right until you reach the signs on the tree (photo 2). Do not continue uphill here (!), but now turn left slightly downhill without a path, always following the white-marked trees. After a while you come to a stone slab leaning against the foot of a tree with an arrow and the number "12". Here you descend directly into the streambed. Access is also possible at 1085m, see aic link.
Tour: Sequence of rough rappels, hardly ever a jump. See photos and video

Santa Lucia I (Superiore): Canyon End
Return: Before the bridge, turn left onto the forest path, which joins the access road at the bends. Alternatively, you can also "append" the ascent of the lower parts of the Rio Santa Lucia. However, the access from the slope marked by PROCanyon to the 2nd part is only a few hundred meters below the bridge and this intermediate part was not climbed by the author, as he preferred to get out onto the slope and then take the PROCanyon access further down. However, the intermediate section had already been climbed earlier because the access to the lower part was originally at the bridge, where the ascent of the upper part exits.

Rio Belepeit (Inferiore): Canyon Start
2024-10-02: Access path rather confusing due to many markings, but still reached the right path through steep forest undergrowth. Canyons top - stands top. Water level was just perfect.
2024-07-18: It took us longer than 35 minutes to get there as it felt like there were 1000 spider webs in the way, I would reckon 50 minutes. Next time we would go straight through the high waterfall with an 80m...
2024-05-29: Everything in perfect condition
Approach: From the parking lot, cross the SS13 at the crosswalk and turn left into the road to Villanova. After about 100m you come to a small crossroads where you can already see the sign "Cascata Rio Belepeit" at the yellow house. Follow the signs to the right between the houses. After about 50 m you pass under a bridge, where above the former railroad line - now a bike path - goes along. Here you can see the final waterfall of the Rio Belepeit. Immediately after the bridge, steps lead up to the bike path, at the top you go over the bridge through the small tunnel to the north. Immediately after the tunnel, the well-marked path leads uphill to the left (red arrow). Follow the clearly visible path steeply uphill until after about 2-3 minutes you reach a road with a small parking lot with a white house (possible parking lot Rio Mulin). The marked path leads to the left at the white house over the terrace - directly after the house you can see the red markings again - which you follow past the slope constructions until you come to Rio Belepeit (directly above the last rappel). ATTENTION: DO NOT follow the red markings over the Rio Belepeit, but go about 50m or. left along the stream and only here cross the Rio Belepeit and follow the hiking trail. Follow this path for about 15-20 minutes uphill past the white wayside shrine. Don't get confused by the fact that you are far away from the Rio Belepeit, because the path goes south without serpentines. You will then meet the well-marked trail "425" at a concrete wall. Follow the path against the red arrow markings in a northerly direction - towards the Rio Belepeit. You follow the path "425" for about 10 min on a flat, partly slightly sloping track, before you directly meet the Rio Belepeit. Here at about 500Hm you can already see the first rappel (blue-white canyoning marking).
Tour: At the entry at about 500 hm, where the path 425 crosses the Rio Belepeit, you can see the first rappel (blue-white canyoning marking) immediately after about 10m or. right. After 2 smaller rappels the big beautiful rappel cascade begins. At a good chain anchor or right the cascade begins. You rappel for about 40m and then find the next chain anchor on the right, outside the water. Then it goes down for another 40m before you arrive at a shallow pool.

Park here. Note: If you look from the parking lot in the direction of Villanova, you can already see directly above the cascade with the total of almost 120 hm.
Return: After the tour you simply go back towards the parking lot on the path that was already used for the access.

2025-08-09: Beautiful tour, easy to do even without changing cars.
Approach: On foot we continue, turning left immediately after the village. Across the Torrente Anza, we go uphill on a narrow road for 850 meters, then cross the bridge and immediately down to the right to the stream.
Tour: Quite a wide canyon; somewhat slippery; when rappelling along the wall of the water drainage, the two pitons are only used as a safety measure to reach the chain anchor on the valley side, which is not visible from above. You can end the tour with a 13 m jump into the Torrente Anza. Here you can also use the large boulder to build a rope slide (2025)

Approach: We continue to follow the road - on the right there is a turnoff over the Rio Aroscia into the historic old town - and then turn left up the next street. Passing under some arches, we reach the last houses, where the road becomes a dirt road that we follow until we reach the bridge over "our" stream (Here you can check the water flow). We pass under the porch of a chapel and continue uphill. After the forestry road has returned to the stream, it makes a right turn and shortly after, the path goes down to the left to the stream. It is marked with "Procanyon" markings (blue dots on white rectangle).
Tour: A lot of downclimbing; further on some attractive narrow sections with possible jumps and a super slide.

Comment: mitten in der Ortschaft
Access: Leave the A 10 highway (Genoa - Ventimiglia) at the Imperia - Ost ("Imperia-Est") exit and head north on the SS 28 towards Pieve di Teco (Colle di Nava; Turino). After a good 23 km we reach Pieve di Teco and 2 km after the village we turn left off the SS 28 onto the provincial road towards Mendatica/Monesi. After a further 2.5 km (from the junction), the road takes us over the River Aroscia (immediately after the bridge on the left is a good parking area for motorhomes). After another kilometer, we enter the village of Ponti di Parnassio. Right at the start, there are parking spaces to the left of the road where we can leave the car. If you are coming from the Genoa area on the A 10, turn right at the "Albenga" exit onto the SS 582 towards Albenga and then immediately turn right again onto the SS 453. After around 26 km, you will reach Pieve di Teco. Continue as above. In the indicated locations another parking lot is suggested and accordingly an access from the beginning on the orographic left side of the Rio S.L. We can also park in the middle of the village, but then we have a problem with putting on and taking off the Neos.
Return: Turn right at the water drainage, downhill to the bridge and from here on the access path back to the village. Once you have parked your car in the alternative parking lot, continue down the stream almost to the road.

Santopadre: Canyon Start
Approach: Below the bridge into the stream.
Tour: The Santopadre is only worthwhile if there is sufficient water flow to jump the final pumps. Water flow at the entry does not guarantee water flow from the middle of the canyon. If the final pools are not full - marmita trampa! Exit possible there and in the streambed or on the edge and back up again.

Access: Coming from Chavenna or Lecco, Sondrio, we cross the Fiume Mera on the SS340dir at the extreme northern foothills of Lago di Como. Immediately after the bridge we turn right, but then we do not take the road to Dascio on the right, but we go up on the left to Albonico (5.9 km to the church). From the church we go uphill in Albonico for another 140 m in a northerly direction and then we can park our car on the left at the edge of the woods.

Rio Secco: Canyon Start
Approach: The best information is provided by the map from the ProCanyon description with the access marked in brown: http://www.canyoning.it/procanyon/secco/cartasecco.jpg . You should always look for the markers (blue dot on white rectangle) on this scenic access, especially where the trail gets lost a few times between the bushes in the upper third.In addition, the following. Info: From the parking lot, follow the exit trail upstream for about 30m, then cross the stream below the large but shallow pool and follow clear tracks up to a dirt road. Take this to the left, just past the house to the left across the meadow and up to a footpath. This brings us to the houses of the hamlet of Soggi (455 m above sea level). We hike through the hamlet and then take a grassy dirt road that runs almost horizontally in a wide arc across the meadows (first towards NNW) towards the Niederwald. From here we follow the path that leads out to the meadows at an altitude of about 600 m and in a wide arc, passing a ruin, to the stream.
Tour: Much rappel in the canyon, partly also in places where attractive rappel would offer. A necessary anchor (at the water drainage) is missing anno 2013 (alternatively from the tree). In general rappel outside the beam possible.in summer too little water flow ('Secco' = dry).

Rio Secco: Canyon End
Return: Either you climb right after the orange iron footbridge up to a slope and then down to the car - or you go about 200 m further until a clear path is visible on the right bank. Then follow this path downstream to the car.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the wide forest road past the cattle fence (iron gate) to the hiking sign "Bergleintal/Meilerhütte ". Here you follow the previously flat hiking trail 801 to the right, which after a short time becomes narrower and steeper through the sparse forest up to a spring. At the spring, follow the path to the right without a large difference in altitude. This leads at the end slightly sloping directly to the stream at 1200m.
Tour: The lower Berglein Gorge is ideal at normal water level for the first steps into the vertical canyoning world. But the canyon is also highly recommended for experienced canyoneers. After short walking passages in the shallow streambed, the canyon narrows. In the shapely narrow canyon, depending on the depth of the pools, small steps can be slid, jumped or rappelled. The max. 10m high rappel points are mostly rappelled in the water stream and can certainly become challenging when the water level is high. After the incised canyon section of about 1 hour, the canyon opens up. Here you also have several easier escapes from the canyon. In the now open lower gorge section there are some short, beautiful rappels and walking terrain in the shallow streambed until the water seeps into the wide streambed and you are at the exit of the tour (at about 1120m).

Access: From Seefeld (Tyrol) drive in the direction of Mitterwald (DE). From Mittenwald continue towards Leutasch up the mountain road. (On the mountain road you pass the DE/AT border.) After the border you continue to Hubertushof (located between Lochlehn and Reindlau). At Hubertushof turn right and follow the forest road for 50m to the parking lot (several wooden crosses). Park here.
Return: From the wide streambed (approx. 1120m) get off to the right onto a visible forest road. Follow this back to the starting point/ parking lot.

Titerno: Canyon Start
Approach: From the bridge approach next to or in the streambed to the actual beginning of the canyon.
Tour: The highest rappel point (of a total of 5 rappels) at the beginning of the descent already has the anchorage in the vertical; you get there from a tree (from which you can also directly rappel completely with 2 x 50 m rope). Despite 37 m real rappel height from the transfer point 45 m rope to the rappel makes sense because of the large pool under the rappel. Only partially narrow, but still attractive lime canyon with water flow; also possible jumps given.

Return: Turn right and walk to the bridge in 3 minutes.

Titerno: Parking at Entry
Access: Take the A-1 past Rome in the direction of Naples. About 145 km after Rome (A-1 / A-24 interchange), leave the A-1 at the Caianello exit and head east on the SS-372. After about 40 km, the SS-372 curves around the small town of Telese. Here you turn off to Cerreto Sannita (11 km) and from there continue to Cusano Mutri (another 9 km), then follow the road to Pietrarója over a bridge for about 3 km until you reach a junction. Follow the small road to the left until you reach the bridge over the Titerno, at the exit of the canyon. Park the lower vehicle here. Take the other one back onto the road to Pietrarója. The road passes the village. At the end of Pietraroja, after a quarry - by a small fountain - a dirt road on the left leads northwards down to Titerno, past a turn-off to the left (1.7 km). Park the second vehicle here (a total of 7.5 km).
Return: Turn right and walk to the bridge in 3 minutes.

Follow the small road to the left until you reach the bridge over the Titerno, at the exit of the canyon. Park the lower vehicle here. Take the other one back onto the road to Pietrarója. The road passes the village. At the end of Pietraroja, after a quarry - by a small fountain - a dirt road on the left leads northwards down to Titerno, past a turn-off to the left (1.7 km). Park the second vehicle here (a total of 7.5 km).
Return: Turn right and walk to the bridge in 3 minutes.

Trilla: Canyon Start
Approach: Past the cemetery, follow a dirt road that is also taken by sentiero n. 25. After about 500 m, turn right off the dirt road onto an inconspicuous path (look for it!). This crosses the Fosso Cornacchia below a waterfall (if you reach the Cornacchia on the track, you have missed the branching path and have to go back!) Now continue along the path at about the same altitude (partly marked). After about 1 hour a path joins from the right at a sharp angle, coming from below. Now another 20 min. slightly uphill, over a rocky and panoramic mountain shoulder and on the other side down into the streambed. View-rich access.
Tour: 25 rappel; exit possibility at the foot of the highest rappel.

Trilla: Canyon End
Return: before the bridge out to the right and in 10 min. to the lower car.

Trilla: Parking at Entry
Access: From Fano on the Adriatic on the SS 3 towards Rome, after almost 50 km turn off at Cagli and head west along the Fiume Busso to Pianello (approx. 12 km). From here, head northwest via Massa to Serravalle di Carda, turning right at a sharp angle to the cemetery (cimitero) just before reaching the village. Park your car here for access. Take the second car back along the access road for 3.8 km and descend to a bridge with a large square on the left, a spring and another bridge over the Trilla stream. Park the lower car here.
Return: before the bridge out to the right and in 10 min. to the lower car.

2024-08-16: Recommended is the full descent: Zima Montagna-Bosco Bello-Valmontina with start at 1400. For lovers of long days. From Bosco Bello onwards it is obvious how devastating these floods are. I.e. lots o...
2024-07-27: Valmontina is a beautiful great canyon with practically no dangerous narrow sections. There are a few jumps and smaller rappels up to a maximum of approx. 20m. It took us about 1h 45min from Bosco Bel...
Approach: From the parking lot, a path leads in a southerly direction to the ridge above the wide gravel bed of the Valmontina. On the left there is a large board (2012) that shows a sketch of the so-called Area Wilderness Valmontina (see photo!). Here is also shown our access via the "Percorso Escursionistico". We take the path on the northern slope of Valmontina and thus reach the footbridge over the orographic right tributary Bosco Bello. After the bridge we cross (partly with wire rope insurance) into this side stream and rope down into the Valmontina. If you continue along the circular route, you will reach the footbridge over the Valmontina (Pont de la Bigoza). Here you could directly enter the Valmontina, but immediately after this entry follows a narrow gorge part, about which so far no information is available (so possibly Explorer tour).
Tour: Entry is via the last three rappels in Val di Bosco Bello, then march in the river with smaller rappels (max. 15 m) and possible jumps. The problem here is the generally abundant water flow (therefore not walked by the author). You can see the canyons just before the footbridge. It is also possible to reach the entry via Val di Cima Montagna in connection with Val di Bosco Bello (see description there).

La Fouge: Canyon Start
Approach: siehe Skizze The access without conversion begins at the left-hand bend of the D12 where the car is parked and leads up the D12 in a southerly direction. Then turn onto the first forest path, which runs into the forest on the left. After several changes of direction, you finally reach the stream. The approach begins at the upper vehicle at a conversion. When it is at the top at the junction of the Wadweg from the slope - this is the jag on the bottom right on the sketch - you walk down the forest path orographic right of the stream, pass the small cottage where you can possibly park the upper car, and then continue to the entry (from the upper car 12min).
Tour: After a few meters left along the stream downhill we reach the first small rappel. Immediately after that follows the impressive rappel in the free slope between the two branches of the waterfall. Runs follow, interrupted by small slides and more beautiful rappels. Finally comes the high final rappel.

La Fouge: Canyon End
Return: At the foot of the last rappel, we take the path that runs along the stream on the left and is slightly away from it at the beginning. If we have to return to the only car in the bends of the D11 (i.e. no conversion), after a few hundred meters we take the rutted forest path, later the hiking trail left of it, initially uphill in a south-westerly direction. At the fork, follow the signs for "Gouffre de la Fouge, Chatillon de Cornelle". The path climbs steeply up to a meadow on the plateau, crosses it and follows the dirt road down to the car on the D11. However, if our second car is at the bottom of the valley, we continue straight ahead at the fork, down to the old abbey and back to the car (15 min).

La Fouge: Parking at Entry
Access: From Cerdon we drive westwards in the direction of Poncin on the river Ain and after about 1.5 km turn left onto the D11, which leads south in the direction of Corlier, Hauteville-Lompnes. We pass the village of Preau and 1.7 km after the exit from the connecting road Cerdon - Poncin we turn left on a dirt road and drive as far as it is possible (about 800m). Then we park the car so that it does not interfere.\nWith the second car we go back to the D11, there turn left, again in the direction of Corlier, Hauteville-Lompness. We now drive on the D11, later on the D12 first to Châtillon de Cornelle (up to here 4.4 km), then further to Corlier (another 5 km). In the center of Corlier we turn left on Route de la Forêt and after 130m we turn left again.the road leads to a small airfield with grass runway - Altiport. 550m after turning off the D12 in Corlier we come to a junction on the edge of a slope. On the right we go to a farmstead, on the left to the Altiport. We take the track in the middle and drive now 1,6 km until a forest track turns off to the right. We can either park the car here or continue down the rustic forest road until we reach a small house in a clearing, which serves as a water supply for the fire department.

Return: After the canyon has opened up, continue in or next to the streambed until you see blue markers (procanyon) on the right bank. Follow these, sometimes climbing, until you come to an inconspicuous path coming from the right and follow it to the left across the streambed. A few meters up this path on the opposite slope we come to a fork. If you have a vehicle parked at the tunnel opening, continue downhill following the blue dots to the car. However, if we want to get to the car at the top, we take the left-hand path and climb upwards in serpentines. We pass an electricity pylon, at the next one we descend slightly and reach the old road (no tarmac). Follow this uphill until you reach the new road just below the saddle with the chapel. Depending on where you parked the car, you can either continue along the new road or take the dirt road that turns left before the hill with the chapel, then goes around the hill to the right, down to the bridge at the entry point and on to Borgota Lunotti. This return route is very pleasant, so you can easily do without a shuttle.

Access: From Thessaloniki on the A 1/E 75/E 90 in the direction of Athina (Athens). After 33 km and after the tollbooth at Malgara keep right on the A 2/E 90 (the highway to Athina goes left). After 117 km (from Thessaloniki) you pass Veroia and reach the exit to Kozani, Larisa. Leave the highway here and drive around Kozani to the east, always on the E 65 towards Larisa. It goes down to the Aliakmonas reservoir, on a bridge to the other bank and then slightly uphill to the small town of Servia (145 km from Thessaloniki and up to here identical with approach to Servia Canyon). The road now passes the northwestern edge of the town and continues in a southwesterly direction to Larisa. 5.5 km after Servia the road makes a left turn and then moves in a southeasterly direction. In this left turn a small road goes right downhill towards Prosilion.50 m further the road branches. We turn right to the small church in the cypress grove; in front of it, on the right, there is a long concrete well. Here we park the car.
Return: After the canyon widens, turn right along the edge of the meadow back up to the small church where the car is parked.

Lygia: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car along the rocky ledge below the chapel in a westerly direction until the terrain opens to the south. A few meters we march on a slope downhill (SE) towards the Ligia, but then stop pathless directly down south and into the already notching canyon.

Lygia: Canyon End
Return: After the longer inclined rope through reeds and trash out to the path.

Mavri Spilia: Canyon Start
Approach: From here you can first take the footpath up the stream, later the via ferrata, which brings us to the entry. Alternative access: From the bridge (on foot or with a second car) about 700 m back on the approach path, but then left at the junction. Now about 150m on the slightly ascending road, then in a right-hand bend our access path goes off to the left uphill. Here we park the vehicle for the access if necessary. A path leads us in direction SSW up to the chapel Agios Apostolos. From here we follow the water conduit along the slope southward until an access to the streambed opens up to us on the left down into the streambed.
Tour: First passages of rappeling, then some rappeling and as a highlight the grotto.

Mavri Spilia: Canyon End
Return: After the exit of the gorge and about 50 m before the 2nd iron footbridge up to the footpath and down it to the bridge.

Mega Rema, Μέγα Ρέμα: Canyon Start
Approach: From the monastery you go down in a southwesterly direction without any path into the streambed.
Tour: West facing canyon, quite open, the light stone gives it a friendly ambience. Also well suited for beginners. The name Mega Rema (= Great Stream) is rather exaggerated in view of the mostly meager water flow.

Mega Rema, Μέγα Ρέμα: Canyon End
Return: After the canyon opens up and the slope decreases decisively, you march a few hundred meters in the scree-strewn streambed until you can exit to the left onto an open (meadow) area. Continuing along the stream, you finally come to the wide dirt road by the Pamisos River. Here, turn right in a northerly direction, along a wire fence on the right, and a few meters after its exit you will find a path on the right (at a picnic area), which first crosses a wooden footbridge, then comfortably climbs uphill and reaches the highest area almost exactly at the car.

Mega Rema, Μέγα Ρέμα: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Larissa good 55 km in the west direction or from Meteora monasteries (Kalambaka) about 22 km in the SE direction you reach the town of Trikala. From here you continue in southwestern direction to Mouzaki (about 18 km). There are alternative routes. In Mouzaki you drive southwards over the river Pamissos on the road that leads to Karditsa. Shortly after the bridge, turn right onto a small tarred road along the southwestern edge of a settlement. The destination is the monastery of Agios Georgios. Still in the settlement, the road begins to climb after a left turn. Continuously uphill, passing a well chapel on the left side of the slope along the road, after 2.3 km (from the bridge) you reach the plateau with the cemetery (on the right) and the monastery (on the left). Park the car here. A shuttle is also possible. In this case, park a car at the exit.

Tour: Attractive canyon with many jumps (e.g. C7, C8, C10 - rope traverse there) and slides; is also commercially visited. George Andreou, the author of the mentioned book lives in Volos and is happy to give a guided tour through 'his' special canyon. He is also happy to give more information about other canyons. Because of some forced passages in the watercourse pay attention to moderate water level! C7, T2, T2, T3, C5, C8, C10, C3, T3, T4, T3, T7, T4, T4, 200 m run, T3, T3, T3, 100 m run, C14, 500 m run)

Approach: In the mentioned bend a footpath begins, which leads in the direction of SSW right bank (orographic.) at the brook Orlias upwards. We ignore forks to the right (to the stream) within the next hour. After about 1 hour we reach a saddle where the path turns to the left (in eastern direction). Here we find a small tin sign on a thin trunk that was once red, and a plastic sign with a large red marker nailed to the trunk on the right. Between these signs the path branches off, which after another 15 minutes brings us to the stream, but the last meters pathless.
Tour: At the beginning, beautiful rappels (20 in total) predominate, later enjoyable jumps.

Access: We leave the A1 freeway, which runs north from Lamia on the east coast of northern Greece (towards Katerini, Thessaloniki) at Dion, which is signposted as a freeway exit because of its excavations. We drive through Dion and leave it at the southwestern edge, where the access road to Orlias is signposted. We drive the tarred road in a southwesterly direction for about 3 km; now the road starts to go up in serpentines. Then the chapel of Hagios Konstantinos appears on the righthand side and the tarred road turns into a dust road at the next left turn. Here we park our car.
Return: Where the slope crosses the creek right up to the car. If you still haven't had enough, you can continue a little further down the creek and take a rappel and a few extra jumps.

Platanaki: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the road to Grana in a southerly direction for a few hundred meters and then turn right (here -also- parking for access possible), down onto a dirt road on which we reach the houses of Rachi Milou (here then 4wd vehicle indicated) . Right around the first house on the edge of the slope, a footpath leads down to the entry above an old arched bridge.
Tour: Impressive great canyon with many fossils.

We leave the main road to Thermos/Lampiri to the right, continue straight towards Kastania and come down to the bridge at the exit of the Mavri Spilia canyon. We continue, passing above the village of Tornos, to Kastania. Here we continue - now on a dirt road - towards Prodromos. 4,5 km after Prodromos we come down to the bridge over the Platanaki, the end point of our walk. Here we park one car. With the other one we go up to Prodromos, pass through the scattered houses and continue towards Grana. We pass the dirt road that branches off at an acute angle to the left towards Roska and immediately after (before the next houses) we can easily park the second car on the right.
Return: After the road bridge, turn right up to the road.

Seiergraben: Canyon End
Return: Pass under the wooden bridge at St. Georgenberg and shortly afterwards turn left up to the slope on which we started.

Seiergraben: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, continue to St. Georgenberg. Cross the Stallenbach (2.2 km from the parking lot) and first along the Seiergraben, then on the wooden bridge high above the ditch to the church of St. Georgenberg (900 m above sea level). Pass the inn and the church and continue, first 150 m in a westerly direction, then in many serpentines on hiking trail no. 234 to the Plattenalm (1490 m above sea level). The dilapidated Plattenalm lies free on a sunny meadow. At the height of the Plattenalm, cross the meadow to the NE to the edge of a steep ditch. Here more or less pathless down the ditch to the Seiergraben (watch out for falling rocks!). Access from the parking lot 700 meters in altitude, from Sankt Georgen 600 meters in altitude.
Tour: The canyon is narrowly incised with high side walls. At the beginning there are long stretches of waterless scree with tree entanglements. The next part, with its narrow and steep chutes carved by the water, is more attractive. If the weather is fine and you set off from the Plattenalm at around 11:00 a.m., you will reach the bottom of the gorge together with the sun.

Seiergraben: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Take the Inntal - Autobahn A 12 or the Inntal - Bundesstraße 171 to Schwaz. North of Schwaz, between the Inn River and the highway, is the Schwaz industrial park. Here you turn - coming from the A 12 - before the Inn bridge to the right and drive after a right curve the Unterinntal-Landesstraße L 215 at a traffic circle crossing under the highway to Fiecht.\nIf you come over the federal highway 171, you turn at the second traffic circle, after you have seen and passed the Inn bridge on the right, over the first exit to the right on the Münchner Strasse. You drive over the Inn and turn right at the next street to get through the industrial area to a traffic circle again. Here you take the third exit and are now on the Unterinntal-Landesstraße L 215, heading SO. Under the freeway exit/ramp you come to a traffic circle, where the first exit, under the A 12, leads to the village of Feicht.\nWith both access variants you now come to the monastery church, keeping left. The road describes a bend to the right directly in front of the monastery church and we cross the village on this ascending road, first in the direction of N, then NNW and finally W. The road continues in the direction of the village. At the T - junction we turn right and follow a narrow, steep road in the direction NW and St. Georgenberg. At a fork to the right to a castle continue left and after a few meters on a large parking lot to the left of the road park the car.
Return: Pass under the wooden bridge at St. Georgenberg and shortly afterwards turn left up to the slope on which we started.

Gria Vathra: Parking at Exit
Comment: Park at Therma
Access: Park at Therma. Follow either the direct path, or walk up the rough road then on the path. It may be possible to save some walking by driving up the rough road from Therma with a suitable car, in which case a car shuffle is required (or someone walks up to fetch the car while the others drink at the restaurant). It is also possible to park at 40.486058, 25.618228 and follow the road then a path to the top of inferior at 40.481917, 25.60910, then a further path to the top of intermedio at 40.476932, 25.605152 (path marked with red dots). However, the path is somewhat unpleasant and undulating, and for the effort the walk into superior is far more pleasant.
Return: Find the path marked with large painted red dots. Use your map app to return to the car. If you parked at 40.486058, 25.618228, follow the paths and old canal to cross the river at a very small dam at 40.489480 25.614173, then follow a vague path (not marked on map apps June 2025) to regain the road to walk to the car.

Approach: Former access, now forbidden by the landowner: Follow the road back for approx. 100 m (towards Sibratsgfäll), then take the dirt road, which branches off at an acute angle, up to the right (open and close a barbed wire if necessary). After overcoming 70 meters of altitude difference, you come to a small tarred road, which you follow to the right and then cross two small streams. The road now describes a long left-hand bend and crosses another stream. Cross this stream on a dirt track that branches off to the right at the exit of the left-hand bend. You can now either walk directly along this side stream of the Fugenbach orographic. left in a south-easterly direction down to the Fugenbach (pathless) or follow the field path for a few hundred meters until footprints lead down to the right to the Fugenbach (partly through swampy terrain). At the access from the road to the entry point, there are now signs with the following inscription: "Canyoning in the Fugenbach prohibited. In case of infringement, action for disturbance of possession - The landowners". An action for adverse possession in Austria should not be underestimated. According to the relevant topograph. Maps (OSM map see under "Weblinks") there is an alternative access route on the German side of the stream. However, here you enter the stream much further up and therefore have to cover an additional distance in the stream until it gets interesting. Up to this entry point, this is a mountain hike and as such is not prohibited.
Tour: Border river between the municipalities of Sibratsgfäll in the district of Bregenz in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg and Balderschwang in the Bavarian-Swabian district of Oberallgäu, also the border between the Bregenz Forest and the Allgäu Alps. A short but varied tour in an attractive setting, without any difficulties, also suitable for beginners and generally recommended. Since canyoning is generally forbidden in Germany, stick to the orographic right - Austrian - side! :-)

Access: The road from Illertal via Rohrmoos is closed to motor traffic. From the B 19 near Fischen (between Sonthofen and Oberstdorf) we turn right and take the district road OA 9 towards Obermaiselstein. Passing this village, we head over the Riedberg Pass (approx. 1400 m above sea level) down to Balderschwang. A little later we cross the border into Austria. About 5.5 km after the border, turn left to Sibratsgfäll. You pass the village and continue straight ahead, always in roughly the same direction and altitude. A former landslide means that the tar surface is missing in places. About 3 km after Sibratsgfäll you come to a road widening with a small (tool, formerly customs) house, on the left a wooden well trough. Park the car here (960 m above sea level). You can also drive from Bregenz/Dornbirn through the Bregenz Forest via Hittisau to Sibratsgfäll.
Return: Either turn right onto the road before the road bridge or, where the stream emerges from the gulch after the road bridge, continue downstream for a few meters and then follow the relatively clear footpaths left up to the road and on this left over the bridge to the car (10 min.).

Approach: We take the gravel road along the edge of the forest (no driving). We enter the forest and at the fork in the road (350m from the parking lot) take the slope down to the left ("Zur Ebnet - Rodelhütte - Jenbach"). About 100m further on we turn left again at a sharp angle and after another good 100m we come to the bridge over the dam at the beginning of the canyon.
Tour: From the struts under the bridge, you descend the dam into the bottom of the gorge. Now alternate very short runs with rappels and downclimbs until you reach the canyon exit. At the end of the season it is often very slippery, so downclimbing is out of the question (especially when the water level is high) and the number of downclimbs is 11.

Return: At the debris barrier on the left, follow the trail up to the forest path. Turn right here to a meadow and a playground. From here there are two options: 1) Keeping left, we come up to the entrance to the gorge. From here, take the approach path back to the car. 2) Follow the wide road on the right for a good 100 m, then turn left uphill to a meadow, cross it towards the forest and the mountain. Turn right to the car (20 min in total).

Return: After the 3rd part we take the clear path on the left up to the road and then go left on it to the car.

Innersbachklamm: Canyon Start
2025-06-19: Everything ok, jump into the pool at the exit was possible
Approach: Return 20 m along the tarred road and then take the hiking trail marked Innersbachklamm at a sharp angle down to the right, over the stream and to the start of the gorge.
Tour: Short, but also entertaining gorge under the gorge footbridge; if slides blocked, 2 abseil hooks available. If entry is blocked, rope assistance from the railing possible. At the exit jumping pool (also from the railing!).

Innersbachklamm: Parking Entry and Exit
2025-06-19: Everything ok, jump into the pool at the exit was possible
Access: From Innzell or Bad Reichenhall on the B 21 in the direction of Lofer, Saalfelden, Zell am See. 3 km after the state border you pass Unken on the 312. After another 3 km turn left to Reith (570 m above sea level). Pass a hotel on the righthand side. Where the tarred road then branches off, park the car on the right.
Return: After the last (jump) pool out to the right, on the footbridge back through the gorge - and through again - or/and to the car.

Seebach (Reutte): Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot across the road and on clear climbing tracks on the orographic right side of the stream in an easterly direction upwards. After a good 15 min. you reach a forest track (before right view of the first waterfall), keep right on it and finally descend a few meters to the right to the entry.
Tour: Sequence of smaller rappels, slippery ground.

Seebach (Reutte): Canyon End
Return: After the last waterfall (with the jammed log in the small pool above - 2010) out to the right and down to the car on clear tracks.

Lochbach: Canyon Start
Approach: On foot or better yet by bike - if we want to limit ourselves to the uppermost part - we follow the forest road after the sign "Wasserfallenweg". After 2.8 km and some serpentines we see a narrow snow on the right with an old forest path that leads here from the Lochbach. Over this path we get off, if we want to walk only the attractive upper part. Consequently, we now park our bike here for the return trip. \nWe continue on the forest track. After a few hundred meters we come to a small clearing in the forest. Here we leave the track and look for the path that leads uphill on the north side of the clearing in the forest. We follow it until we come to a field of mountain pines on the right. Here we look for the somewhat hidden track that crosses into the slope and the mountain pine field. On this track we reach the stream (entry). Cf. also the trail sketch under "Photos".
Tour: first vertical first and attractive top part. Then the exit to the slope (bike). \nThen the middle part and finally the lowest, which can still offer a 25m rappel. At the end of the integral ascent the exit to the forest road.

Mauthner Klamm: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the Römerweg to the bridge over the Valentinbach, here is the entry.
Tour: Just after the bridge are the first possible jumps (3m, 4m, 2m, up to 8m). The depth of the gorge can be easily controlled by downclimbing the belays. The rest of the canyon alternates between slippery walking passages and slides/canyons up to 10m. From the confluence with the Steinerene chute, the stream cuts up to 150m into the rock - this part is very scenic. About 10 minutes after this waterfall you reach the Klammsteig . (17.07.2011). The 10m waterfall (C 4 right) was washed out and torn away.

Mauthner Klamm: Parking at Entry
Comment: Mauther Klamm Parkplatz oben, bei Beginn von Wanderweg
Access: From Kötschach-Mauthen drive on the Plöckenpass federal road in the direction of the pass summit until you reach Gasthof Eder. From here continue for about half a kilometer on the newly built road until you find a parking possibility for several cars on the left side of the road (sign: Mauthen - Römerweg).
Return: Hike along the Klammsteig - "Klabautersteig" - to the Mauthener Waldbad. From here it is best to take a second car or bus back to the entry. The way back via the Römerweg, which starts at the bridge behind the Waldbad, takes about 1 1/2 - 2h.

Pitzental: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue on the road to the right on foot or better by bike in the direction of Heiterwanger See. The asphalt road turns into gravel. Continue along the lake. After about 4 km the shore continues in a beautiful bay. Here a forest road branches off immediately to the right and away from the lake. On this in the direction of ONO, until this reaches the Pitzental. Here, before the gravel bed of the stream, park the bike in the forest. Shortly after the path begins to cross the wide gravel bed of the Pitzental, turn right along the edge of the stream upstream, and a few meters later, not far from reaching the stream bank at the washed-out edge of the forest, you will discover an inconspicuous narrow path that leads upstream to the right into the forest. Follow this trail up in hairpin bends, past a hidden cabin, until this trail joins the main trail coming up from the lake. Continue uphill on the main trail, crossing some steep scree gullies, over a larger side stream coming down from the right, until you reach a hunting lodge. At the hunting lodge, continue along the path into the scree-strewn streambed and down along the left bank to the entry.
Tour: First, smaller rappel and slides in cut (although not too deep) stream. Then more open, longer rappel in partly rugged terrain. After a last rappel tiring downclimb to the canyon exit.

Pitzental: Canyon End
Return: When you reach the access road, go out to the left.

Pitzental: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Garmisch via Leermoos or from Füssen in the direction of Reutte to Heiterwang. Turn off there and drive under the main road on a narrow asphalt road for about 600 m in the direction of Heiterwanger See to the hotel "Fischer am See". At a Y-shaped junction with a driving ban on the road branching off to the right (the one on the left continues to the hotel) there is a large parking lot for hikers. Park the car there.
Return: When you reach the access road, go out to the left.

Millnatzen Klamm: Canyon Start
2024-07-21: Easier canyon along via ferrata. Good views. A lot of escape options, Confirming 30m rappel but most of the obstcles can be bypassed through via ferrata.
Approach: After the barrier you come to an overview board. From here, access via the Millnatzen via ferrata is highly recommended: difficulty C, two short, more challenging sections, but overall stress-free with full canyoning equipment (including via ferrata set!). Access to the via ferrata 15 min; via ferrata 60-80 min. Millnatzenklamm via ferrata at . Alternatively, it is possible to take the descent route of the via ferrata orog. right from the overview board (approx. 25 min).
Tour: The route starts directly at the via ferrata exit sign. Emergency exit to the via ferrata but also from the canyon itself is always possible. The water flow is leisurely but appealing, but apart from the C30 it is actually avoidable if not desired. Sunny tour in beautiful scenic surroundings with many canyon voyeurs when the via ferrata is well frequented. Most of the route is equipped with chain anchors and 14 numbered emergency plaques. Places that can also be downclimbed are equipped with a neatly placed anchor. The highest abseil point is an honest 30m (my 55-meter rope was a full 5m too short).

Access: After Klebas on the main road in Lesachtal. Turn off towards Tscheltsch, then to Ladstatt. Then go under the town bridge of the farm and up the gravel road on the left. At the access road, simply follow the signs for "Klettersteig Millnatzenklamm". The parking lot has been subject to charges since 2015.
Return: After the last rappel point, go around the next bend in the stream and turn right onto the access path to the via ferrata.

Rosengarten (Oberer): Canyon Start
2025-08-28: All good! Top stands. Some gravel in the canyon.
2025-08-19: Beautiful tour. All anchors in order and easy to reach. At the intermediate belaystation you should not rappel into the pool but only to the belaystation (right about 4m above the pool).
2025-07-18: Nice tour, good stands. It was fun...highlight is definitely the high rappel with intermediate stand:)
Approach: Cross the small bridge again onto the forest road. Follow this until you reach the mushroom trail (leads along the left edge of the gorge). At mushroom no. 16 (Parasol) descend to the left into the streambed.

Approach: Follow the forest path along the canyon rim upwards until clear footprints lead into the streambed.
Tour: Jumps and slides up to 5m (feasible depending on the gravel level) or rappels. The highest rappel point is an 18m high sloping plate which can also be downclimbed.very suitable for children and beginners. Most of the sun is in the morning and can be combined with one of the other canyons in the area or a kayak/raft trip on the Salza.

Access: From Bastia on the N193 approx. 20 km southwards, then at the traffic circle behind Casamozza in the direction of Corte, Ajaccio, along the Golo. After 8.5 km you reach Barchetta. 4 km further on, immediately after a railroad bridge, park the lower car. If you want to work with conversion, which I do not necessarily recommend: Take the second car from Barchetta (eastern exit of the village) on the D15 northwards on a winding road up to Volpajola and from there just along the mountainside towards Campitello. 4 km after the village we pass a Bergerie building on the right. 500m further on we are at the bridge over the Cippetto. Now we drive back 300m and park the upper car on the wide verge next to the bends. Distance covered: 10.5 km.
Return: Exit directly onto N193

Cippetto: Canyon Start
Approach: By shuttle: From the parking lot, a track leads down the earthy slope and heads towards the stream. Follow it, first left, then right, down to a prominent rocky ledge that descends from the right-hand slope. Enter the streambed here (20 min.). Without shuttle: Continue on the N193 from the parking lot there for about 80m. Cross the Cippetto. Now turn right onto a path that climbs up to a ledge in about 15 minutes. Now you can see a group of cork oaks further up the slope. Once you have reached these, you can see a mountain farm even further up. According to the descriptions of the approach at descente-canyon.com and in the book by Jourdan/Fiorina (under "Nota"), you should now climb further past the bergerie (20 meters up to 345m above sea level) and then cross the stream in an easterly direction (slightly downhill). The entry is then at 320m above sea level and not at 220m above sea level, as can be read in Jourdan/Fiorina (this error is based on an incorrect altitude entry on the topographic view: "229" at the confluence of the Cippetto and the right tributary Licciolu). According to the Google map -satellite-, however, a crossing into the stream should already be possible a few meters below the Bergerie and - in my opinion - pretty much exactly to the first rappel C7 (see map sketch under "Photos"). However, the ascent from below seems more recommendable than the access from above with shuttle. Commercial guides apparently also ascend from below (approx. 65 min).
Tour: First some smaller rappels (starting with the C7) and slides, then the C22 (with handrail). After a few more steps, you get to the C50. Here, apparently, there are now various intermediate stands. During my ascent (2003), the roughly central transfer was so awkwardly placed that we roped through the 50m. Now - also after the following C5 - you can exit to the right on a relatively clear path that leads down to the N193, if you want to spare yourself the further descent in a kind of forest canyon.

Approach: Again the 130m back to the mentioned serpentine. The access is signposted from this right serpentine in front of the tennis court (info - board). So the inhabitants of Pierrefeu are not bothered much and also the access to the upper part takes only 20 min. more.
Tour: Downstream, you soon come to a 25-m rappel (belays on both sides, repeatedly vandalized); then it's downhill in the creek with charming pools to the entry to the lower section.

Access: From Nice on the N 202 towards Digne. After about 19 km, turn left over the Var, take the D 17 up to Gilette and continue along the Esteron valley. About 11.5 km after Gilette you pass the turn-off to Pierrefeu and after another 500 m you come to the bridge over the Pierrefeu. Look for a place for the lower vehicle beforehand, i.e. not near the bridge! Take the second vehicle back to the junction and drive up towards Pierrefeu. After 2.8 km (from D 17) you will come to a right-hand serpentine and 130 m further on you will find a place to park the second vehicle on the left by the tennis court.
Return: Either over the concreted water drainage left out to the road and the lower car or connect the Pierrefeu II (cf. there!).

2025-06-19: All stands ok, still a lot of wood in places, very slippery.
Approach: From the aforementioned right turn, we follow the forest road for about 40m in an easterly direction before we descend pathlessly to the left (northwards) into the streambed of the Rudach.
Tour: After a few meters in the streambed, a few smaller steps follow (at the first step, which can also be downclimbed, anchors are somewhat hidden in a downstream arch) before we reach a higher drop (approx. 40m). We rappel down this in two parts. This is followed by a rappel of approx. 20m; if you rappel over the trapped root stump, you can stay out of the stream for the most part. After another rappel (approx. 14m), we take the handrail to the belay above the C65. There has already been an intermediate belay in this wall, which is now below us, but you should not rely on it, as the rappel (in fall line) lies in the catchment area of the ray (albeit on its edge) when the spring floods thunder down.

2025-06-19: All stands ok, still a lot of wood in places, very slippery.
Access: First to the upper parking lot for the access to the Kobelache (see there); then further up the forest road along the Kobelache. We cross its streambed 3 times. Immediately before the 4th bridge (approx. 1.5 km from the Kobelache parking lot) we take the track branching off to the left (eastward). Again we cross streams 2 times (the 2nd time in a sharp left turn). From our forest road, which now leads uphill in a northerly direction, we can see the Kobelalpe, which is located on the left below, and shortly afterwards we reach a small plateau in a right-hand bend. Here we can park the car.
Return: After the final high waterfall in a wide arc pathless uphill in a westerly direction. A few meters below the ridge we reach a hiking trail that leads us along the edge of the large meadow, past the Kobelalpe, up to the parked car.

Approach: We first go up the stream for a few meters, then we cross over the footbridge to the other bank. Then we go uphill following the signpost "Salvesenklamm", "Obtarrenz". At a fork in the road - down to the left is the bridge over the gorge - we continue straight up in a northerly direction and finally meet the forest road coming up from Obtarrenz at about 1060 m above sea level. On this now left we cross after some time the Vordere Bachl and come a little later to the Hintere Bachl (entry).
Tour: In the Hinteren Bachl, one rappel follows the other down into the Salvesenbach. Now running sections alternate with climbing and rappel passages. The narrow passage under the "Hoher Übergang" is then striking. Then you have reached the driftwood barrier and thus the exit of the gorge.

Return: Before the stream flows into the Torrente Arda, we climb up the small embankment on the right and head towards the banks of the Arda. We head up the Arda on a slope until we reach the top of the dam. From here, through the reeds to the west, we come to a path. We follow this uphill, leaving a track on the right and reaching a small clearing in the forest. At the south-west corner of this clearing, a narrow path leads slightly uphill above the canyon. At its exit, we come across another path that continues to climb steadily up to the road. We reach this at a small house. Now turn right down the road to the bridge and the car. It is also possible, although not particularly rewarding, to descend in the Ardo to the Brent de L'Art. Before you reach the Brent Rizzo, there are four gorge sections with small swims and downclimbs. Between the gorge sections there are several steps that have to be laboriously climbed through bushes.

Approach: 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.
Tour: 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.

Comment: Schwarzenaugraben
Approach: On the B181 northwards over the bridge. Immediately after the bridge (970m above sea level), take the hiking trail eastwards up to Kotalm-Niederleger (1260m above sea level). As soon as we see the buildings of the alpine pasture, we also see the slope running up above to the right. We head straight for it high above the meadows. We turn right on the piste and after approx. 150 meters we reach the first sharp leftward haipin bend (1300m above sea level). Here we climb steeply uphill without a path for a few meters (to about 1330m above sea level), then follow a dilapidated fence (remains of posts) on daring tracks to the right until we reach a barbed wire fence. Continue upwards along this (approx. 50m) until you can see a path between two posts. We climb over the fence and follow the sometimes more or less recognizable tracks horizontally towards the south and the stream (already audible depending on the water level). When we see the stream we descend to it, be careful, danger of falling!
Tour: A few meters in the gently sloping stream, then the first of a total of three high rappels awaits (stand left, the other downclimbs measure less than 25 meters), now one rappel follows the next, from time to time there are shorter walking passages and passages for downclimbing. There are no slides or jumps. On the first high rappel, the belay station is too far back and it is difficult to pull off. And the steel rope is poorly secured. Abseil height 30 m At the second high rappel there is an intermediate pool with tree trunks. Be careful when rappelling or use the new intermediate belay on the left, but you have to rappel towards it. Abseil lengths 10 m / 20 m / 15 m At the third high rappel, the rope traverse should be replaced and properly installed. Here we have drilled a new, exposed belay at the very front of the edge on the right, to which you have to rappel. Pulling off the ropes is now no problem. Abseil lengths: 7 m / 40 m Overall, the quality of the pitons is extremely mixed and could be improved in many places.

Access: Take the B181 to Lake Achensee, either coming from the Inntal valley or from Sylvensteinsee or Kreuth. About halfway along the lakeshore you come to the entrance to the "Schwarzenau" campsite. Park your car here to the east of the B181 near the bridge over the Schwarzenaugraben. Alternatively, there is another parking lot 50 meters further/before on the other side of the road.
Return: After the third high rappel, a few more short ones follow. At the former water catchment, exit left onto a faint track that quickly takes us to the bridge and the car.

Approach: From the parking lot briefly on a forest road to transmission tower, then over well-trodden hunters path up the left flank. After an unpleasant traverse of a landslide quite exposed traverse 100m above the valley floor. After about 50 minutes the path meets the stream again. Here is the entry.
Tour: After 10 minutes of block hopping, you are at the beginning of the gorge and at the first rappelling point. From here no emergency exit is possible. In the gorge, rappelling points up to 13m alternate with walking / downclimb passages. Scenic, the whole thing is very impressive, partly the gorge is so narrow that no sunbeam comes to the bottom, with suitable water level (estimate at the first rappel point) but not too demanding. Go only in good weather. Due to the rocky catchment area, changes due to debris are possible.

Widdereggbach: Canyon Start
2024-07-30: All stands ok, some with new glued anchors. Single and double hooks. Not too much wood. Long hiking routes.
2023-06-03: All hooks ok. At the exit to the Gehrebach at the small saddle after the ridge erroneously followed the path down to the right and so somewhat laboriously in the creek bed up to the forest road.
Approach: We follow the forest road in the direction of Plansee/Stuibenfälle and cross at the power station to the other side of the Archbach. We come to a fork in the trail and follow the sign "Ministersteig-Plansee" uphill to the left. Where the path flattens out to the right after the steep climb, we leave it and take the path to the left that continues steeply up the ridge. At 1000m we meet a forest road and follow it to the left in a northeasterly direction.\nOnly slightly ascending we cross the Schlemstal at 1100m, then see the cascades of the Gehrebach on the slope on the other side of the Zwieselbach and finally reach the bridge over the Widdereggbach (entry, 1160m above sea level) via two more ditches. Beyond the bridge, the slope bends to the left and moves a few hundred meters in a northwesterly direction above the Widdereggbach stream along further in a northwesterly direction.
Tour: After the access above the bridge structure, we quickly get to the first rappel. Then running routes and rappel alternate until we meet the Zwieselbach. If we now want to attach the Gehrebach, we descend only a few meters in the Zwieselbach until we climb out to the right on the orographic right bank of the next side stream that flows into the Zwieselbach from the right. About 5m above the Zwieselbach we cross horizontally in a westerly direction into the next cirque. There we cross diagonally right up to the sharp ridge. On this ridge we go up - partly a bit exposed (if necessary rope protection) - until we reach a small saddle on the right on a horizontal path dug into the slope. Here, do not descend to the right, but continue in the original direction of the previous ridge upwards to a slope, which we reach - possibly via a side branch. On the forest road now left in western direction. We pass the Niederwaldalpe (on the left below). A signpost - "Reutte" - prompts us to take the path down to the left. Soon we come to the footbridge over the Gehrebach (entry, 1120m above sea level), about 50 min. from Zwieselbach. Alternatively, without connecting the Gehrebach, you can walk directly in the Zwieselbach out to the parking lot.

Access: From the town center or Reutte train station, cross the railroad tracks in an easterly direction and take Mühler Straße to the metal works (at the same time in the direction of E-Werk). You cross the Archbach and drive on its northern side past the industrial plants. \We pass a parking lot on the righthand side and then turn right over the Zwieselbach bridge. Approx. 60m we go now in western direction and we cross the Archbach. Immediately after that we take a sharp left and after about 40m we come to a larger open space where we can park our car.
Return: In the Zwieselbach downhill, then right out onto the path and after reaching the tarred road left over the road bridge and to the car.

Approach: Descend into the streambed right next to the bridge
Tour: Right at the beginning there is a rappel over 2 cascades (ca.25m) then it goes unspectacular to the 40m rappel. Here first rappel at a tree orographically left about 5m to then rappel from the clamping block the 40m. After that you come to a 20m high abseil point which is secured by an hourglass. The valley becomes wider and wider, the car wreckage in the stream increases. Get off here on the orographic right side to the road.

Approach: From the parking lot, walk a few more meters towards the village and then take the first dirt road to the right (marked "75"). Via "75a" you reach a ridge that offers a view of the entrance to the Aiglun gorge. You come to an information board. At the "75b" marker, turn right off the hiking trail onto a path and head southwest down to the stream. If you only have one vehicle, you can reach the entry from the village of Aiglun on a mountain path over the ridge of Mont St Martin (1257 m), see also wikiloc link.
Tour: With a catchment area of 170 square kilometers, the attractive canyon with its narrow wood-blocked passages is life-threatening when the water swells. Similar to the neighboring Riolan, the water is regularly cloudy, so that the few climbing options must be sounded out beforehand. In some places, fixed ropes are used across and above the chute to avoid the arduous and sometimes difficult climbing over the blocked wood in the chute.

Approach: On the bridge over the Roudoule and the GR 510 up towards the village of Amarines. At the 15th switchback (to the left) at a good 800 m above sea level, taking the path to the right - scanty red markings - we reach the stream at 830 m above sea level.
Tour: The 6 rappels make sense as a run-in exercise for an immediately subsequent ascent of Roudoule II.

Approach: From the parking lot over the road bridge and then orographically right bank on a path to the entry into the river course, which is still open here.
Tour: Short, attractive canyon with possible jumps, also suitable for beginners. The exit is at the level of the large Nuturbogen, but you can follow the river a good bit further down (but then you have to return to the 'Arc' in the riverbed). The natural arch is particularly busy at weekends for excursions and swimming. 1 rope ride: 7 m, if there is plenty of water flowing (otherwise downclimb here in the river channel) and you don't want to jump. If there is no water flowing, you should have to rappel at one of the first cascades, which you can otherwise jump.

Access: From Montpellier (on the A-9 highway - la Longuedocienne - between Nimes and Perpignan) take the D-986 north towards the Ganges. After approx. 30 km (from the center of Montpellier) you will reach the bridge over the Lamalou river, which has formed the canyon, about 2 km after the village of St. Martin-de-Londres. There are parking lots to the right and left of the D-986 (picnic area).
Return: At the large rocky arch, go up to the left bank of the plateau on a frequently used path and, when you reach a cross-country road, follow it to the left (around an equestrian farm). Markings lead to the starting point.

Approach: Above the bridge from the orographic. right side into the stream.
Tour: Short but rewarding; suitable for "filling up" a day that has already begun (the Trefon-Pernaz and Cascades du Luizet canyons are in the immediate vicinity). The belay for the last rappel is about 5 m back on a rock. Prohibited in August and from November 1 to April 14, as well as in the stream area below the described descent.

Access: In Geneva (after the border), we take the A 40 highway (Autoroute Blanche) in the direction of Lyon. We drive on this highway for about 75 km. We come to a highway junction and drive another 9 km in the direction of Lyon (A 42). Then we leave the highway and drive to Amberieu-en-Bugey. On reaching the outskirts of the town, we turn right onto the D 1075 (formerly the N 75). After driving about 2 km in a south-westerly direction, this road turns left at an elaborately constructed junction in an easterly direction (straight ahead is the D 1084). We drive about 7.5 km, finally in a southerly direction, west past the village of Lagnieu. Immediately before the bridge over the Rhone, turn left onto the D 19 and continue along the orographic (!) right bank of the Rhone via Sault-Brénaz to Serrières-de-Briord (about 15 km from the Rhone bridge. A few meters before this village we turn left uphill onto the D 32 and after another 4 km we reach the village of Bénonces. In the village, we turn right off the D 32 onto the D 87 in the direction of Seillonnaz. We pass the hamlet of Onglas and a few hundred meters later come to the road bridge over "our" stream. Park your car here.
Return: Either leave ropes hanging in the Kleinschlucht and return here (can also be done without shunt and hand ascender) or at the exit of the ascent left up the slope above the Kleinschlucht on clear tracks back to the streambed above the Kleinschlucht.

Artuby pre-aval (IV): Canyon Start
Comment: "Le Pas de la Chapelle"
Approach: Access is via a slope on the orographic left bank of the canyon to the south, later descending without a path down to the stream, where the rock faces are replaced by steep meadow slopes (Le Pas de la Chapelle). However, this access was via the area of a military training area - camp militaire de Canjuers - and is therefore prohibited. In 2011/2012, this situation was discussed for months in the descente-canyon forum: https://www.descente-canyon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15260 Alternatively, you can take the access to Artuby V: From the bridge on the orographic right (east) bank approx. 400 m southwards. Follow the red (sometimes blue) markings that meadowed the way back to the bridge for the bungee jumpers in the opposite direction. Then descend via a metal ladder and rocky ledges to the bottom of the gorge.
Tour: Once at the bottom of the canyon, walk up the entire canyon (with some climbing) until it widens (see Canyons de Haute Provence, F. Jourdan / J. F. Fiorina / P. Tordjmann, 2006, page 69 bottom "Nota"). The canyon bends here to the east and the turning point would be "Le Pas de la Chapelle" (see also the geo-sketch in Les 30 plus beaux canyons des Alpes du Sud, Hubert Ayasse / Franck Tessier, 1989 page 101 and the description in Descente de canyons dans les Alpes de Haute Provence, Bernard Gorgeon, Eric Olive, Patrice Tordjman, 1995, No. 20 - "Description") The turning point is at about 570m above sea level. In the meantime, a new variation of the ascent of this part of the canyon has been practiced: Canyonists have entered the Artuby from the D955 link road (Comps-sur-Artuby to Montferrat. The tour is then very long and has uninteresting parts, but you can work with shuttles and always stay in "cover" of the canyon. However, it should be noted that it is forbidden to walk on the grounds of the military training area, even at the bottom of the gorge. Only the risk of being discovered with possible penalties as a result remains low. The same applies, of course, to running upwards in the canyon.

Stivane: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking place walk for about 700m along the main road until you reach a gravel parking place on the left side of the road where the hiking trail 743a starts. Follow the trail uphill for about an hour until you approach the stream and you can easily get on at a bridge. If necessary, take a second car to Stavoli Ravorade, see Rio Chiampeit option 2.
Tour: The tour begins immediately with the highest, mostly dry Cascate (25m). As an anchor point, take the tree orographic right (60m rope advantageous). After some block hopping follows the next break. The anchor is again a tree, from which it is not easy to pull the ropes. Another 4m rappel brings us to a small pool from where it goes about 15m in a light water stream into the depths. After a short hike the streambed widens and you come to an isolated "Hinkelstein" on whose right side a dry rappel from one of the trees is possible! More beautiful, however, is the rappel orogr. further to the right in the watercourse. For this, however, a rappelling stand must be drilled in. Artificial rappelling points one looks (spring 2013) in this canyon in vain. A rappel over tree trunks, however, is always possible - even if sometimes somewhat cumbersome! Massive rock in the upper part, Bröckel conglomerate in the lower part, escape possibility in higher positions always given.

Stivane: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Austria via A23 until Pontebba. Leave the highway at Pontebba and continue on the SS13 canal road. After the village of Resiutta, just before reaching Moggio, park in a small parking lot on the right side of the road.
Return: After the last rappel you can see the Kanaltalstraße in front of you and in 5 minutes you are at the car parked before.

Comment: depart pour Carmes integral au-dessus de C 35 (descente)
Approach: Unfortunately, there is no other way than to walk (or drive with a second car) about 1.5 km further uphill to the next left turn (sign: Nacon). Shortly before the left turn, go right (after opening a gate) down a slope, at the exit of which is dumped construction debris about 80 m further on. Continue pathlessly above the hut along the fence until you reach a path leading down from the houses above (climb over the pasture fence). Follow this path to the right, first downhill, then in a slight left bend in the direction of the south until you reach a meadow; cross this meadow and descend to the brook. Now downstream to the right until you reach the rock wall. There, climb over the pasture fence and into the streambed (approx. 15 min.).
Tour: Despite the pathless access over the steep and by cows massively zugesch.... meadows and the shortness of the tour (only 150 m long) an absolute treat. Beautiful tuff cascades, narrowly cut, smoothly washed out and meandering. There is also an upper part, see references (Internet and book).

Follow the red (sometimes blue) markings that meadowed the way back to the bridge for the bungee jumpers in the opposite direction. Then descend via a metal ladder and secured rock ledges to the bottom of the gorge.
Tour: After descending into the streambed, pass under the bridge in still open terrain. Then a steady downclimb in polished rock formations until you reach the backwater of the Verdon. If the water level is good, there are long swims and small possible jumps. Difficulties only at siphon blocks. From here it is a swim canyon. Despite the lack of water flow, not without charm, especially in the ascent and descent.

Return: After the Artuby flows into the Verdon, immediately after the rock face at its prominent bend (Mescla) about 100 m up the Verdon. Immediately after passing the rock face on the right (orographic left) side, turn right (east, later north) upwards. Climb through an 8 m high wall on steel brackets and finally come to a path that takes you to the right (in a southerly direction) to the road. Turn right again here and after a few hundred meters you reach the restaurant. If there is too much water in the Verdon, you can also ascend via a newly insured path on the orographic left bank. From the mouth of the river, ascend on rock slabs to the left into the forest, then always along the color markings into the forest. Soon you ascend along fixed ropes through steep scree before you reach the wall. Keeping left, climb through a chute, over a traverse and several steep wall steps into the Schofen area above (fixed ropes, possibly take ascenders with you). First turn right briefly and then cross out to the left on ledges. Always follow the color markings and cairns, otherwise it will be difficult. Ascent time 30-40min

Approach: We go back along the road for about 130m and then turn right onto a path that goes NE and leads us down into the valley of the Artuby. We come across a small road. Since an access to the stream, which could be done most quickly to the right, led there over private land, it makes sense to turn left on the road and then after a few meters look for the access to the stream by the trees at the northern edge of the meadow.
Tour: Initially longer running distances, after the only real step also swimming distances until the exit of the tour.

Access: We drive to Comps sur Artuby from the Route Napoleon Grasse - Castellane. We drive 44 km from Grasse and 19 km from Castellane (opposite direction) as far as the group of houses known as Le Logis du Pin. Here we turn south at the traffic circle onto the D21 and reach Comps sur Artuby after 17 km. Either from the center of the village or, even better, from the picnic area on the southern edge of the village, we head for the sewage treatment plant (the street name is Rue des Templiers further down), which is located to the east below the village. We park our car here. A shuttle would be possible, but makes no sense.
Return: Before the "Mauvais Pont" (bad bridge) we climb up to the right to the path that leads over this bridge. On this right up to the sewage treatment plant.

Artuby du Plan d'Anelle (IIb): Canyon Start
Approach: From the chapel we walk further down the slope. After 150m we turn left and shortly after we pass a farm with a well on its right side. Follow the trail ("Montée du Moulin"), first along hedges, later through the forest down to the Artuby valley bottom. Before the path climbs again to the old bridge over the Artuby, we take the entry at a ford.
Tour: First, under the old bridge, it goes down between rock walls that frame the river. There are several possible jumps (fixed ropes). Finally, we come to the "key point", the Fesldurchbruch with the natural arch. Here you can either follow the walk of the water or bypass the whirlpools on a kind of via ferrata. A little later you are then at the exit-

Access: We drive from the Route Napoleon Grasse - Castellane. We drive 44 km from Grasse and 19 km from Castellane (in the opposite direction) to the group of houses known as Le Logis du Pin. Here we turn south at the traffic circle onto the D21 and after 13.1 km we reach a tarred road branching off to the north. About 500m further on, we would see the old Artuby bridge "Pont de la Souche" from the 17th century on the right. So we drive into this tarred road, past an old house with a wayside shrine and after about 150m (from D21) keep left onto the dirt road. We now drive as far as is legally and actually possible with our car. After 1400m from D21 at the latest, we park the car for the exit. We take the second car back to the D 21, then turn left (O) on the D 21. After 3.6 km we turn left uphill and after another 6 km we reach the village of Bargême on the D 37. We drive past the large parking lot and continue on a well-maintained road towards Saint-Laurent. Keep left at each fork in the road. After 2.1 km from Bargême, we come to a chapel on the right-hand side of the road. We can park our second car here.
Return: Turn left up onto the path and follow it - always parallel to the stream - to the car.

Audin amont (I): Canyon Start
Approach: The footpath to Breil-sur-Roya takes us slightly uphill in a northerly direction. Without realizing it, we cross the border to France. At the "411" marker, we turn right onto a path that climbs slightly up the orographic left slope of the Audin. We pass the marker "445", where the entry to the lower Audin (only jumps and slides without real rappel) goes down to the left. We follow the path, which climbs in a wide arc, crosses a side stream and leads over a broad ridge to the stream. The access is otherwise described via the village of Libre with shuttle, but this leads over 8 km there and back, so the time saving is hardly significant and the pleasant ascent with a view of the 40 m waterfall seems more sensible.
Tour: Unfortunately, between the high waterfall and the lower fun part is a run with block climbing of about 300 meters. The walk is actually only worthwhile if there is some water flow in the high waterfall.

Comment: Parkplatz vor Fangetto
Access: From Ventimiglia up the Roya valley. Passing the junction of the road (D 19) to Sospel (16 km from Ventimiglia), turn right about 1.5 km further and cross the Roya to Fanghetto, where you park the vehicle in front of the village.
Return: As a rule, the Audin aval (II) continues to its exit (cf. there!)

Approach: Continue along the road, which is no longer paved, to the marker "143", where a path branches off to the left, which we follow. We walk - at least temporarily - along a dried-up water pipe, cross a stream and finally reach the bridge over the Figaret. We will get off here later. Now we climb steeply uphill, past the ruins of a mountain farm, until we reach the mountain shoulder at an altitude of 1030 m above sea level. Here we leave the path that continues to the right and descend on the other side to the streambed of the Bagnolar. On the opposite slope you can see a house in the hamlet of Les Barmes.
Tour: Start in a small forest canyon, with the successive deepening the rappels also become higher. Some jumps possible. The Bagnolar is an attractive canyon, but only when water is flowing through it. As early as May, there is often only standing water in the pools in the lower part. In midsummer, a nose clip should be part of your equipment. In good conditions, however, the Bagnolar is one of the best canyons in the area. Narrow, wonderfully washed out and with beautifully shaped rappels and fun jumps and slides. You have the option of exiting to the left at about halfway down the canyon to join the ascent route. Unfortunately, it is forbidden to walk down the attractive Figaret.

Access: From Nice, head north on the N 202 towards Digne; after 20 km, turn right into the Vesubie valley towards Lantosque, Roquebillière. After approx. 14 km on the D 2565 you reach Suquet with its campsite and hotel. Immediately afterwards, turn left (D 373), then a little later turn right towards Pelasque. You pass the hamlet of Farguet. Shortly before reaching Pelasque, turn left at a fountain and at the exit of the road you come to the Hotel Auda (not open in 2025). Here you can park in the shade.

Access: From Castellane (on the Verdon, on the Route Napoleon) on the D 952 via La Palud-sur-Verdon to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie (approx. 45 km).\nFrom Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, continue on the D 952 towards Riez. About 3 km after the village, we drive through 2 hairpin bends and come to a hill about 1 km further on. Here we turn right towards Montdernier. The road also leads to a campsite and the ruins of Egaras. 4.4 km after the junction, we turn left at a prominent tree in the road triangle onto a dirt road, ride slightly downhill for about 1 km, cross the Colostre stream and ride another 800 m in a left-hand bend up the opposite slope. We reach a saddle and park the car here.
Return: At the exit of the canyon, we take the path up to the right (north direction). It leads us to a dirt road where we turn right (keeping right in case of doubt) to the car.

Balma: Canyon Start
Approach: Go downstream on the N 202 for about 500 m and you will come to a marker "106", where the path to the hamlet of La Reveston branches off to the left. You will reach it after about 1 hour (560 m above sea level). From here you can go down to the lower part of the Balma. However, we continue at the mark "109" towards La Madone d'Utelle. We pass two valley cuts before reaching a small concrete bridge at 670 m a.s.l.. From here turn left to the entry.
Tour: The upper quarter of the canyon only carries water after rainfall. Water then springs up in a grotto, but this does not guarantee a flow of water down to the bottom in high summer. The belay above the high final abseil (7m/43m) offers great views. The canyon offers variety and the beautiful 50m rappel. Conclusion: not a highlight, but not a failure either, as long as there is water flowing. However, this can be contaminated below the hamlet of Reveston (smell of detergent!).

Return: After the 50 m rappel out to the road

Approach: From the parking lot a few meters back on the D 19 you will find the descent tracks left down into the streambed. After a few hundred meters of "Kiesellatscher" you reach the first rappel.
Tour: The upper part is only worthwhile if there is sufficient water flow (only visible on the 1st rappel). First a vertical part with some higher rappels. Then a 15-minute walk to a footpath that crosses the stream.

Approach: From the aforementioned bend, a dirt road leads southwards, you pass a barrier and come to a small reservoir. Continue along its eastern edge and cross the small river la Blanque, which feeds the waterfalls. The path continues slightly uphill in a southerly direction, ignoring a signpost to the 'Cascades' (to the left). After about 1 hour, the path descends slightly again and we reach a ford. This is the entry point.
Tour: 3 smaller rappels, otherwise river walk

Access: Leave the A-9 'la Languedocienne / la Catalane' (Montpellier-Barcelona) at exit 41 just before Perpignan and drive through Rivesaltes on the D-117 towards Quillan. About 35 km after Rivesaltes you reach Saint Paul de Fenouillet, where you turn right (north) onto the D-7 in the direction of Camp sur l'Agly, Bugerach. You cross the Gorges de Galamus on a road cut into the rock before reaching Cubières sur Cinoble. Continue east on the D-14 via Col de Bancarel and Col de Linas to Bugarach.Park the car near a sharp right turn about 200 m before Bugarach. On the left side of the road, a sign points to the 'Cascades d'En Mathieu'.
Return: Either you walk out in the streambed for about 30 minutes to the place where the rappel crossed the river for the first time or you look for a way up to the left after the 7 m rappel.

Catena: Canyon Start
Approach: Entry directly below the bridge.
Tour: Note the large natural arch next to the canyon (Arca di Catena, also visible from the road) and the pile of car wrecks at one point on the edge of the stream. It is not necessary to use the belay at the high waterfall (5 m/25 m), as the rope is easy to pull off even when roping through.

Catena: Canyon End
Return: At the water diversion out to the right and on paths down to the parking lot at the lower bridge, basically about parallel to the stream. The one could also descend further after the water diversion, but it is no longer secured there.

Catena: Parking at Entry
Access: From Sagone, on the east coast, take the D70 to Vico (Vicu). After passing through the village, at the fork in the road, turn left onto the D 156. A few hundred meters after passing through the hamlet of Chigliani, you come to the bridge over the Catena (beautiful waterfall also below the bridge), where you park the first vehicle and continue with the second, passing through the village of Letia, gaining altitude in a few switchbacks and returning to the Catena (after the bridge, park the second vehicle on the left).

Approach: We go south again on the road and after about 200 m we turn right on a little road (marker 256 - 1260 m a.s.l.)). At marker 258 (past 257) we take the signposted path ("Clue du Chaudan, Col de Champs, Colmars" - GR 52a), cross a canal (our way back) and reach a viewpoint where (a little below) we can also have a look into the canyon. Continue until we reach the entry at the bridge over the stream (1470 m a.s.l.).
Tour: 9 rappel, the last in a chute through a rock face. The water is clean, but with the own step suspended matter is stirred up, which then clouds it. Therefore, before slides and jumps, check the depth of the water.

Access: From Nice through the Var valley to the north, then west and finally north again to the Gorge de Daluis (via the D 2202 towards Guillaumes). After the village of Daluis, the road rises sharply to cross the canyon Gorge de Daluis at 100 to 200 m above the Var wild and romantic. About 22 km after the upper canyon exit (we have passed through Guillaume u. St. Martin d'Entraunes) we come to Entraunes. Before the road bridge over the Var we turn left to a parking lot where we leave the car.
Return: At the exit of the canyon (after rappeling in the chute through the rock wall) exit to the left and descend on clear tracks to the open channel, which we follow until we meet the access path. Descend on this and back to the car.

Approach: Continue slightly uphill on the dirt road and always stay on it until it turns first into a meadow path at some dilapidated houses, then later into a path. We cross the stream on a bridge. The path goes up a little on the other side and then along the top of the canyon until the descent can be made at a streambed.
Tour: Short (only 6 rappel), but (apart from the long approach once) worthwhile, also the access in beautiful mountain scenery.

Approach: From the parking lot, continue up the slope to the large gravel area above the dam wall, where two streams flow together. The orographic stream on the left is the Rio Verde. Cross the stream above the dam wall, enter the valley of the Rio Verde, cross the Rio Verde immediately afterwards to the right bank and find a wide path that leads upstream. After about 200 m, it crosses the Rio Verde on a suspension bridge, climbs up the opposite bank and then continues horizontally high above the canyon. Passing viewing platforms, the path leads back down to the stream, almost unrecognizably upstream along the left bank, then crosses the stream three more times, twice in fords, continuing up the valley on the right bank. Now the path turns away from the stream and climbs up to the left in a basin. After about 20 minutes, you reach a horizontal, almost completely overgrown track, which you follow to the right. Soon you will see the waterfalls of the Barranco de Funes in front of you and the path descends steadily to the stream. An entry point is possible here. For a rewarding longer tour, cross the stream and take the wide path on the opposite bank, which flattens out a little after a leftward haipin bend. Continue upstream on this path, past the striking waterfalls of the Barranco de Funes opposite, until a path branches off to the left. Continue straight ahead on this path until it crosses the now somewhat thinner stream. This is the alternative entry point to the last part of the Barranco Chortal, which then flows into the Rio Verde (Chorreras). It is forbidden to enter the Chortal above this entry point.
Tour: 7 rappels. Beautiful, not very high tufa waterfalls. Several possible jumps, some "delicate" slides. At the first suspension bridge seen from the access, jumps of 7-14 m into a deep pool are possible. The 14 m jump is located to the right of the orographic path leading up to the left.

Access: In Almuñecar, leave the N 340 from Málaga to Almería at the traffic circle and turn off in the direction of Otivar. Drive through Otivar and continue on the main road towards Granada. Shortly after Otivar, the road to Lentegí branches off to the right. Continue straight on here, taking a left-hand bend over the Rio Lentegí and upwards in hairpin bends. 3.3 km after the Lentegí junction, a road descends to the left, signposted Central de Cázulas. Continue straight ahead on the main road and one kilometer further on turn left through a metal gate set back from the road about 10 m onto a wide dirt road (signposted Proprieta Privada, Junta de los Rios). This access road is subject to a toll (2016: 5 euros per car, 5 euros per person) Tel. on site: 680493629 or 680493607; it is best (out of season, otherwise the ticket booth is manned) not to call when you get there, as the cashier takes up to half an hour for the approach. Access and return is possible from 8.30 - 19.00; no access on Mondays. Set the trip odometer to zero at the entrance gate. At 1.2 km, continue down to the right in a right-hand bend, at 2.5 km continue straight ahead at a junction towards the clearly recognizable canyon exit. At 2.6 km you cross a (hopefully open) metal gate, at the next fork go straight on towards the canyon exit. Cross a bridge and continue along the orographic right bank between the (mostly dry) stream and the rock face until shortly before the exit at km 6.5, a large parking area appears on the left behind a tree. Park your car here. A transfer is also possible (see "Parking lot access"), but I cannot recommend it, at best for an alternative entry.

Comment: Furt

Desteou: Canyon Start
Approach: We take this northeasterly track, leaving the stone bridge over the Désteou on the left and continue uphill. After several switchbacks, we reach a plateau at 520 m a.s.l. and, keeping on the path in northeastern direction, we come to the small water intake of the Désteou (entry).
Tour: Before the narrowing is an exit to the left up possible. 20 meters up a gravel slope, you come to a path that moves to the right and descends high above the canyon to the ascent slope.\nThe stream presents itself in midsummer only as a trickle.

Desteou: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel about 3 min. in the streambed, until you can climb about 10 meters on the left at a tree with twin trunks on the right edge of the streambed (2008) on a path that leads back downstream to the slope, over which we come back to the vehicle.

Return: After the short canyon opens again and flows in from the left before the Eths Caurets (also accessible canyon), you go up on the left without a trail for about 20 meters in altitude until you meet the extension of the approach trail. On this left (in southern direction) back to the car.

Gorges du Verdon I: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot to the mouth of the Baou in the Verdon and there "boat in".
Tour: Only a few times a "nabada" in the Verdon. Seemingly dangerous passages can usually be bypassed. Watch out for obstacles under water, e.g. trees lying in the water. You can also get by with one vehicle if you use the charming footpath from Maline to the Couloir Samson parking lot along the Verdon as an approach route - take a flashlight for the tunnel at the exit! The following lower parts have also been canyoned, see . As with the kayakers, the siphon is the dangerous key section. However, you can bypass it as is usual for kayakers.

Gorges du Verdon I: Canyon End
Return: After the sharp right bend and the confluence of the Artuby there, continue 1.6 km in the Verdon and then out to the right and up to the footpath that goes up to La Maline (45 min.). Last exit point of the upper part - also up to La Maline - would be at the new suspension bridge.

Approach: South to the saddle below the village (745 m a.s.l.) and beyond down the footpath (GR 4). You come to some houses (hamlet of Peironas) above a large meadow area. Take the dirt road below the left house (direction WSW) to the left, then descend the dirt road to the right and follow it downhill until you reach the suspension bridge over the Esteron River. Go over it and straight on; then follow the path up to the right towards Gars (via Vilette). When you reach the height (770 m a.s.l.), go down beyond and take the track to the right at the signpost. It leads to the entry at the beginning of the gorge.
Tour: As with the St. Auban, the Riolan and the Aiglun, you should be lucky to be able to make the descent in clear water. The canyon is varied and impressive. The ground was not slippery in 2023. There are no emergency exits.

Access: From Nice on the N 2002 about 23 km along the Var north up to the Pont Charles Albert, then turn onto the RD 17 in the direction of Roquesteron (coming from Nice at the bridge still continue to the next traffic circle and then back to the bridge). We come up to Gilette, then drive in the valley of the Esteron winding westward over Roquesteron up to Cigale, over the Riolan canyon then northward up to the Pont des Miolans. After this bridge turn left onto the RD 2211a and to Collongues. From here, continue west on the D 84 for about 1 km until the road to the village of Mujoules turns off to the left. Park your car in the large parking lot in front of the village (72 km from Nice). Car transfer is also possible. To do this, park the upper vehicle in Gars and walk downhill along the footpath in the opposite direction to the entry.
Return: After the end of the canyon (remains of an old canal on the left, through which you can get out crawling) exit left and follow the Esteron on its left bank for a good distance. You will then come across a dirt road, which you follow to the right. At marker 69, take the forest path up to the left (north).

Planchettes aval (II): Canyon Start
Approach: From here the path descends over the flat area. On the slope, a path descends quite steeply, apparently also used by horses. It meets a cross path that we follow until the bridge over the Planchette. Possibly, you can also come down to the creek earlier on the left.
Tour: Beautiful hiking canyon on smooth rock. If you want to do the interesting narrows after the dam, you should take into account the water level. There are no belays, but they are not necessary at medium water. There is no need to rappel at the dam.

Planchettes aval (II): Canyon End
Return: Either at the dam on the water pipe horizontally out to the old bridge or still through the narrows (worth it) and then up to the path. On the path in a westerly direction up to the road and the lower car.

Planchettes aval (II): Parking at Exit
Access: Take the N 203 from Nice north towards Digne. After 20 km, turn right and take the D 2565 up the Vesubie. Via Lantosque, turn right up to Bollène (26 km from the entrance to the Vesubie valley). At the upper end of Bolléne, take the first vehicle on the left down to the bridge over the Planchettes and park it where the path comes up at an acute angle from below at a bench on the left-hand side of the road (marker "208"). Take the second vehicle back to Bolléne and turn left uphill towards Col de Turini. After a few hundred meters, turn left towards St Sauveur and Prai. The tarred road becomes a dirt track. We park the second vehicle at the water tank.
Return: Either at the dam on the water pipe horizontally out to the old bridge or still through the narrows (worth it) and then up to the path. On the path in a westerly direction up to the road and the lower car.

Approach: From the car, we take the concrete track in a northwesterly direction, following the yellow, red and orange markings and heading towards the high cascade. Where it is best viewed, the trail bends north and overcomes the rock barrier. Once above the waterfall, the trail continues slightly uphill above the stream. Where the trail crosses a small side stream (mostly dry), keep down to the Rais.
Tour: Attractive is the final part and here especially the view during the rappel of the C 38 down into the pulverizing cascade.

Approach: Now we continue walking on the only minimally ascending slope, first in the forest, later with beautiful views of the mountains around the Vallée du Cians. We come to the houses of L'Illion (1580 m a.s.l. - 45 min. to here) situated on the southern slope. From here it is a good kilometer until the track describes a long right curve. On the left there is a large almost flat area. Here, following the cairns, descend in a southwesterly direction to the stream.
Tour: The canyon with its 35 rappel is beautiful, but the effort (shuttle, long access, long descent in the canyon) but quite large. Jumps are possible because of the murky water only after respective pre-test.

Return: After the 22 m rappel (which can alternatively be done in the stream or dry), climb back up to the left immediately after the cascade (and here you can pull off the rappel from above). On the other side of the stream, there is a large tree on a rocky ledge. Here begins a path that we follow up to the approach road (at a junction we keep left).On the road you walk a good 1 km right up to get the car (for this an additional 15 min.).

Approach: From the car you walk 1.4 km on the D 102 to a bridge over the stream. Here is the entry. Shuttle insofar possible, but brings nothing in terms of time.
Tour: The Rayaup is a swim in the canyon for the whole family. The 7 m rappel (the only rappel) can be bypassed by a slip. It is also possible to walk from the bottom to the top (and back if necessary). For this purpose, a fixed rope is also attached once for pulling up - 2010).

Access: Approach to Castellane on the Verdon, e.g. via the N 85 (Route Napoleon) from Nice via Grasse. In Castellane, before the bridge over the Verdon\n(i.e. on the SE side), turn off onto D 102 in a southwesterly direction. After almost 2 km we see a wide parking strip on the left side of the road. Here we park the car.
Return: After the exit of the canyon, we continue walking in the streambed until we cross a path that we follow to the right up to the road and the car.

Approach: The fastest access route follows the tourist crowds to just before the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Beauvoir. Here, follow the clear tracks to the Canyon de Notre-Dame, cross it and climb up the other side in steep, rocky hairpin bends to the plateau. Once at the top, follow a clear path descending to the left to the entry of the Canyon de Notre-Dame, then ascend again over a ridge into the Rious valley (45 min) Alternatively, you can also hike through Moustiers and first cross the stream from the Canyon de Notre-Dame, then the outflow of the Riou (exit). Now take the path with the yellow markings up to the right. At a fork, keep right and continue uphill through the forest to a ridge. On the other side, the trail descends slightly to the east and then bears right down to the meadows by the stream shortly before it enters the rocky narrows. Approach time approx. 75 min.
Tour: At the beginning a narrow, though not very deep canyon with smaller rappels, some slides and possible jumps. In the vertical second part, a succession of longer rappels. It makes sense to break the 60 m rappel (10 m + 50 m) for better rope retrival, especially as you can stand comfortably on a flat ledge before the 50 m section. On the following 40 m rappel, you can slide from the cut rope into the pool (approx. 10 m is possible without any problems).

Comment: nach dem Tunnel durch die Öffnung im Geländer
Approach: From the bridge on the road first past the parking areas for hikers, climbers and fishermen at the site and left of the Esteron the road award.... Shortly after the tunnel at the break in the railing down to the right into the river.
Tour: Although you can see large parts of the canyon from the road, it is a very sporty hike that is not recommended for beginners. In some places, the abundance of water leads to backwaters and backwaters. The highest waterfall (a few meters after crossing under a rope bridge made of 2 steel ropes) should not be rappelled at more than 500 litres/sec, although you can rappel through it and come to a halt behind the waterfall. A (not easy) switch from the right to the left side of the gorge is recommended here, as well as a traverse to the left around an edge and with several intermediate hooks and a tree to a sloping slab from which you can jump. A rope ferry is also possible here and is used by commercial guides. Incidentally, they only use the rope twice for the rappel.

Siagne de la Pare Escragnolles: Canyon Start
Approach: Continue along the steep slope, passing the mark "88". The slope finds its continuation in a path. Before(!) you finally reach a large boulder field and in front of the large information board go right down path tracks. Descend here and follow the cairns further down to the river.
Tour: The stream flows over countless sintered terraces with an average low gradient, but also offers a narrow section and many possible jumps. Sometimes it is worth looking behind the water curtain of sintered cascades. \nAlso attractive not only scenic!

Siagne de la Pare Escragnolles: Canyon End
Return: In the past you had to move the cars about 25 km, see e.g. "Canyons Méditerranéens - Les plus beaux canyons de l'Ubaye á la mer" (Bernard Barbier/Bernard Ranc) 1993), p. 182; now you can go up to the left at the confluence with the other source river of the Siagne and back to the car. To do this, first walk about 100 m upstream on the orographic right bank of the other (Grande) Siagne. Here, cairns and orange markers indicate an indistinct ascent track (starting in a westerly direction!) northwards up the ridge between Siagne de la Pare and Siagne. Several passages are secured by ropes. After about 45 minutes, you reach a water pipe, follow it horizontally to the left, first come to the access path and on this back to the car (return 1.5 to 2 hours) - see: wikiloc

Siagne de la Pare Escragnolles: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Cannes, take the N85 to Grasse and continue on the Route Napoléon to the village of Escragnolles (about 19 km from Grasse). Here, take a small road down to the left following the signs "Siagne de la Pare". The road continues on an unpaved track that climbs again a little further on. Before it then drops steeply, park the car on a larger flat area (steel cable, freight elevator to the spring on the opposite slope).

2024-07-13: beautiful river walk - the upper part with prohibition signs - but nobody minded that we were there - we got out soon after the "3 piscine" - stone man - good path to the car
Approach: Access on the north side of the bridge - possibly with a jump.
Tour: One swimming pool follows the next. In between, running sections on smooth granite and a few places for downclimbing and slides. Finally you come to the rocks in the middle of the river, which are feared by kayakers - "STOP ,CROIX,et TETE DE MORT!" - no problem for canyonisti at low water in high summer. About 350m further downstream our tour is finished, just before the Ravin d'Ori flows in from the left. The exit is at the remains of a footbridge and is usually marked with a cairn.

Access: From Solenzara, we cross the river Travo on the N198 for a few kilometers, then turn west onto the D45 towards Chisa before reaching the airfield access road on the right. After 7.6 km (from N198), always along the river, we cross the Travo on the in-between D645. 4.2 km further on, we take a tight right-hand loop over the Ruisseau de Coda Vacca. After another 850m, we park our first car in an open space to the right of the road. A few meters further on is or was once a landfill with green wire fencing. Continue 1.5 km in the second car and you will reach the Pont de Bura (about 2 km before reaching the village of Chisa). Park the second car here.
Return: We follow a clear path up to the road and the lower car. So we had only 1 car available and this is at the Pont de Bura, still follows a march of 1.5 km on the tarred road.

After about 7 km, the N-7 makes a bend and then temporarily heads east. At the beginning of this bend, turn right and head west over the Rhone to Charmes-sur-Rhone (3.5 km). In the middle of this village, turn onto the D-232, which continues westwards to St. Georges les Bains (3 km). In this village, the road widens and then bends to the right. Immediately after this, turn left down into the valley to a bridge over the Turzon. Park one car here. Take the other car from St Georges les Bains and continue for about 2 km on the D 232 slightly uphill to a prominent bend to the right, where there is a large parking area for the vehicle on the left (south).

Here we leave the path and follow another one on the left down to the Challandre. A few hundred meters we can follow the stream downhill without already having to put on the wetsuit.
Tour: At the beginning river walk, then 12 rappels in an open canyon with southern exposure, hardly any jumps or slides, water mostly naturally turbid. Great ambience.

Comment: Nicht beschrieben, Einstieg lt. Descente
Approach: From the marker post "70" (1250 m a.s.l.) we follow the path that first goes up in serpentines and then moves south along the slope with a moderate gradient to a col (= saddle; 1460 m a.s.l.). Here we leave the path and follow another one on the left down to the Challandre. A few hundred meters we can follow the stream downhill without already having to put on the wetsuit.
Tour: At the beginning river walk, then 12 rappels in an open canyon with southern exposure, hardly any jumps or slides, water mostly naturally turbid. Great ambience.

Challandre: Parking at Entry
Access: From Nice 54 km up the Var valley on the N 202 towards Digne. Then turn right (north) onto the D 28 into the Vallée de Cians. First through the Gorges de Cians and later in serpentines into the upper canyons. About 17 km after the turnoff, you pass through two tunnels at the "Petite-" and the "Grande Clue". About 200 m after a red wall with inscription plates (behind it a drinking water tank) we park a vehicle just before the next tunnel (between this and the next tunnel the road crosses the Challandre).\nWith the second vehicle (if available) we continue for 2.2 km. Here at the marker post "70" we park it.
Return: After the last waterfalls - which you can also bypass on the left bank - right up to the road and around the right tunnel outside to the lower vehicle.

Approach: We walk back along the road for about 250 m (southwards) and start at marker point "211" on the path uphill to "Ciabanon" (signpost). It climbs in a few serpentines, later crossing southwards to the few houses of Ciabanon (1045 m above sea level). Now the path starts to become more difficult to find. Although there is a clear path to the north on the map mentioned above, it is hardly recognizable from Ciabanon onwards; many tracks walk in the indicated northern direction. As the path climbs gently and continuously from Ciabanon, it seems sensible to first ascend about 20 meters in a north-westerly direction at the houses (past the beehives - 2010) and then walk northwards along the slope at the same altitude. If you are lucky, you will come across the now more clearly recognizable path about 200 m further on (GPS: 44°1'12.27 "N/6°58'37.85 "E). On this track, we cross a wide chute that runs down the slope, only to discover on the opposite slope that the clear track has disappeared again. We climb up the opposite slope without a path for around 25 to 30 meters and come across a black plastic pipe (approx. 5 cm in diameter). We follow it - the path seems clearer at times - until we reach a rocky ledge. We fight our way down through the thorny maquis until we find a passage to the left. If we are right, we can traverse over the sloping scree cirque using a wire rope safety device directly below the rock. Afterwards, the route climbs steeply again for 5 - 10 meters and we meet the path again on a rocky ledge. It is now clearer and after a while leads us to the stream where the water is drained into the black pipe. We have now completed the most difficult part of our tour. If you are a friend of the maquis, you can save yourself the double horizontal crossing (to Ciabanon and then the same distance in the opposite direction) and try to fight your way from the left-hand serpentine at around 990 m above sea level in a westerly direction through the maquis directly up to the upper "path" - GPS position given above.
Tour: Apparently rarely visited canyon in slippery red rock, which except for an arduous access does not offer the class as its northern neighbor Raton, but is also much shorter.

Approach: Above the small cemetery (with the chapel Sainte-Anne) we start on the Chemin de Courchon (also called Voie Romaine) in southern direction (signpost "La Palud"). The path leads us to the plateau southeast of Moustiers, finally with great views in large switchbacks. Once on the plateau, we continue to follow the track. From the left, the road from Moustiers comes up over Notre Dame de Beauvoir and a few hundred meters further we come to a junction of several tracks (939m a.s.l.). Here we turn right off the slope and go down pathless in a southeasterly direction into the wide streambed that leads us down into the Venascle, the last meters with some rappel.
Tour: 18 rappel, varied despite dryness

Return: A few meters before you reach the water-bearing Angouire, turn right uphill and follow the newly created "Sentier Botanique" to Moustiers. It leads us directly to the Sainte-Anne chapel and our car. The path from the exit to Moustiers has been partially redesigned, partly to avoid disputes with the landowners whose land was previously used to exit along the Angouire.

Loobigtal: Canyon Start
Approach: Now we take the path up to the snack station Wase (1320 m above sea level) and then the forest road, which leads up in serpentines. 1200 m after the snack station and 130 m after the second left-hand serpentine, a forest road branches off to the right at a sharp angle. Follow this and after about 350 m you come out of the forest into the slopes above the Loobig valley. Another good 300 m further and we are at the stream (entry).\nThe entry here is about 80 meters in altitude above the entry height indicated by the first climbers.
Tour: see topographic view and photos

Loobigtal: Canyon End
Return: After the last high rappel in the Loobig valley we stand in the Alperschonbach. In this we go down about 150 m and then climb in or next to the next ditch, which pulls down from the left, up to the road and the car at "P2".

Loobigtal: Parking at Entry
Access: From Reutte on the B198 up the Lech Valley to Bach (37.5 km). 180m after the Lech bridge, which is just before entering Bach, we turn left from the B198 and take the road that leads south to Madau. 3.4 km after the turnoff and 2 km after the last house of Oberbach (before the road goes uphill in the forest), we park our car for the exit over a ditch, over which our exit should be made.\n\take the second car back to Bach. At the first bridge over the Alperschonbach we drive on its orographic. right side to the houses of Unterbach. Here we keep to the right and park the 2nd car near the Alperschonbach (at the last houses of Unterbach) (1100 m above sea level).

Comment: Furt - Einstieg in den Bach
Approach: see photo gallery CWiki- red line
Tour: Several smaller rappels, then at the end a 35m rappel (to be done from the left or right). After a few meters, the stream enters the canyon. This is followed by several short abseils no longer than 5 m, some of which can also be downclimbed. Jumps are not possible. The small pools are shallow and blocked. The often slippery blocks in the watercourse require some caution. The short rappel after the giant tree is followed by a channel (critical depending on the water supply) with several BHs leading to the final drop. You can rappel from the chain in a 35 m step in the watercourse or left 10 m to 2 moderate BH0. From these, a 25 m rappel leads over a whirlpool cave into the final pool. Alternatively, you can traverse from the moderate BH to the left and rappel from a tree outside the waterline. Water quality: good but murky, hardly any garbage Equipment: good to moderate Emergency exit only possible at the start

Approach: Ascent options from the lower parking lot (2h) or via the toll road (for each vehicle and each entry: 10 CHF or EUR in coins, can mix CHF and EUR) to Censo and from there via a hiking trail (25 min). For description see literature/Swisstopo. Helicopter: After landing with the helicopter, you are left on a hiking trail past a suspension bridge to a water catchment where most of the water is drained. Don't get in too early: the uppermost, normally water-bearing part is not drilled.
Tour: Pay attention to the boiler in the middle part if it is not filled with water. Place a person in the previous fall and then in the kettle to check that the hand line is in position for exit. This person should be able to climb a rope if a retreat is required. The cauldron can be bypassed from the top of the previous abseil point. The entry is via the steep forest terrain --> once in the canyon, the first deep pools start immediately --> depending on the water level, most of the pools are jumpable --> the route continues continuously over beautiful granite rock --> the belays are well placed, but mostly only single pitons --> watch out for the sharp edges and the narrow crevasses (several rope remnants in various places already show unfortunate rappel maneuvers) --> from the middle there are several rappels that also increase in height --> however, there are always pools and downclimbs that require concentration and fitness --> in the lower part you can enjoy beautiful views from the rappels that offer up to 35m --> after the last rappel of approx. 18m (jump?!) you usually come back to civilization --> here is the exit (480Hm) or entry of the Boggera Inferiore --> either you follow the course of the gorge (see Boggera inferiore) or you take the hiking trail back to the parking lot in about 15min. Caution: There is a mousetrap in the middle part, if this depression does not contain water it is very difficult to get out again. Before roping in, make sure that there is no water or at least the handrail in the depression. If not, climb back up on the ropes and bypass the depression.

Access: Approach Normal: On the road n.2 coming from the south, shortly after Honda dealer, turn right through an underpass of the railroad line, immediately after that turn right again on gravel road, still about 100m to the parking lot. At the level of the canyon exit there is also the railroad station "Stazione Osonga-Cresciano". Heli approach: From Biasca ri. Osogna --> 500m north before the road leading to Lodrino turn left and drive under the drawbridge --> continue to the right for about 200m until you reach the riding arena --> park the 1st car here --> take the 2nd car and drive to the Heli-TV station. The helicopter can carry 4 people --> the cost of the flight to the entry for the Boggera Superiore is 182CHF (about €135,-) --> very worthwhile!

Return: Leave the canyon at 480m on the left and return to the parking lot via the hiking trail in about 15 minutes, or do the lower part of the canyon (75 minutes).

Boggera (Superiore): Parking at Entry
Access: Approach Normal: On the road n.2 coming from the south, shortly after Honda dealer, turn right through an underpass of the railroad line, immediately after that turn right again on gravel road, still about 100m to the parking lot. At the level of the canyon exit there is also the railroad station "Stazione Osonga-Cresciano". Heli approach: From Biasca ri. Osogna --> 500m north before the road leading to Lodrino turn left and drive under the drawbridge --> continue to the right for about 200m until you reach the riding arena --> park the 1st car here --> take the 2nd car and drive to the Heli-TV station. The helicopter can carry 4 people --> the cost of the flight to the entry for the Boggera Superiore is 182CHF (about €135,-) --> very worthwhile!
Return: Leave the canyon at 480m on the left and return to the parking lot via the hiking trail in about 15 minutes, or do the lower part of the canyon (75 minutes).

Approach: From the parking lot (580 m a.s.l.) on an initially concrete path up to a meadow with a house. Here the path turns left and climbs only moderately high above the canyon to the steel bridge over the middle Lodrino (635 m a.s.l.). Now the path goes up in serpentines, passing the access to the middle Lodrino on the right. At about 800 m a.s.l. the path begins to slowly and steadily climb up the southern slope of the Lodrino into the long valley behind. Passing the former Alpe Dureda (890 m a.s.l.) we reach the side valley Val di Drosina (of Val Lodrino). Here the path turns WNW. At 1050 m a.s.l. a path on the right descends to a destroyed iron footbridge (entry).
Tour: After smaller rappels in a forest canyon we come to C 50, the only higher rappel. After that open riverbed with some narrower passages. The Lodrino sup. should only be climbed if the water level would also allow an ascent of the lower (and middle) part, since also in the L. sup. are narrow passages that are critical at increased water flow and are not yet secured for an appropriate ascent (2008).

Access: From the highway junction (Gotthard/Bernardino) in the north of Bellinzona, head north on the N 2. Shortly after passing through Cresciano, turn left and drive to the other side of the valley to Lodrino (approx. 12 km from the highway junction). Drive into the village (right) and after the bridge over the stream take the 3rd road on the left. Park your first car in front of the cemetery (the parking spaces in front of the supermarket and under the trees in the center of the village should not be used). Take the second car north towards Iragna and after almost 2 km (from Lodrino) turn left immediately after the houses of Rodaglio at a business (GPS coordinates: 46°19'02.46 "N / 8°58'19.70 "E ) onto a small road that takes you up to the houses of Legri (a turn-off to the right). - Ignore the access road to the upper Iragna) Continue straight ahead on the small road until it exits onto an open area (helipad) (or continues as a dirt road in a westerly direction). Park the second car here.
Return: After a long walking passages, at the access to the Lodrino med. (7 m jump before the ramp with the high rappel), exit to the right and return on the ascent path. Of course, it is possible to add the middle part of the Lodrino and continue until the railroad bridge at the beginning of the lower part.

Approach: From the parking lot (580Hm) a path goes up immediately to the right--> follow this past the house and without much difference in altitude along the canyon --> the path is exposed in some places and leads to the iron bridge that crosses the Lodrino --> cross the bridge and follow the trail to the third bend--> from here a very exposed path goes to the right next to the canyon to the creek (entry 650Hm)
Tour: After the spectacular access it continues in the stream --> the first cascade is bypassed on the left (left tree for rappel) --> the next place can usually be jumped after checking the depth and current strength --> immediately follows the highest rappel passage with 47m (Here can be rappelled left on the water or right spectacular free-hanging. ) --> from here the canyon runs deeply cut --> further on you have several walking and small climbing passages --> jumps should always be controlled as the canyon changes a lot --> in the middle of the canyon there are short rappelling passages in the water course, at the end of the incised part there is a swimming passage --> at this point there is another walking passage and small climbs until the last rappel --> after the rappel you walk for some time through the streambed until you reach the bridge (exit Lodrino intermedio).

Access: 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 the first car in front of the cemetery (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 go north towards Iragna and after almost 2 km (from Lodrino), immediately after the houses of Rodaglio, turn left at a commercial establishment (GPS coordinates: 46°19'02.46 "N / 8°58'19.70 "E ) 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 on an open area (helipad) (or continues as a dirt road in a westerly direction). Here do not park at the gravel parking lot but next to the road.
Return: Below a 2nd steel bridge/railway bridge (480hm) get off on the right bank (if you don't want to attach the lower Lodrino), cross the Lodrino on the steel bridge and return directly to the car in 10 minutes on an ascending path.

Approach: 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.
Tour: 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.

Spina Santa: Canyon Start
Approach: Either orographic. left on the slope closed to motor vehicles or orographic. right via footpath, in each case to the entry at the Fonte (spring) della Nocchia (long well trough).
Tour: About 15 rappel, some smaller jumps possible (see video).

Spina Santa: Canyon End
Return: Out of the stream to the right on a dirt road or the track and after a few meters we come to the car.

Pont a Favre: Canyon Start
Approach: From the guardrail without a path in a westerly direction down to the Séran. The access is about 50 m above the Pont à Favre.
Tour: Mainly swim canyon, short but attractive.This is the uppermost Séran canyon; it is followed downstream by the Gorges de Thurignin and the Cerveyrieu waterfall. Good to combine also with the nearby Groin and the dry rope Cerveyrieu fossile.

Pont a Favre: Canyon End
Return: After leaving the narrows, continue for about 100 m in the river (not too early and steeply up to the right!), then climb pathless and not very steeply in a wide hollow to the western edge of the canyon. Along this to the north, later on a path. This leads us over the Pont à Favre and up to the parking lot on the D 31.

Pont a Favre: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: After bypassing Geneva on the Swiss N 1 after the national border, take the A 40 in the direction of Lyon, Dijon, Paris. After about 25 km (from the border) take exit 11 (Bellegarde Center) in the direction of Fragny, Seyssel. 6 km further on, at the exit of Mons, turn right onto the D 992 and go through Seyssel and Culoz (another 23 km), where you continue on the D 904 (direction Bourg-en-Bresse) for an additional 8.5 km until Artemare (a total of 62 km from the border).\nIn Artemare, we turn half-right at the prominent left turn (Rue de la Poste). About 100 m further on, at the Place de la Liberté, we turn right onto the D 31 (Cote d'Yon). In serpentines it goes up to the hamlet of Don, then the D 31 leads over the Groin ("Gouffre ..."). A little later, from the left (from the SW) comes the D 30. From there it is a little more than 1 km to a right turn with guardrail, where we park our vehicle.
Return: After leaving the narrows, continue for about 100 m in the river (not too early and steeply up to the right!), then climb pathless and not very steeply in a wide hollow to the western edge of the canyon. Along this to the north, later on a path. This leads us over the Pont à Favre and up to the parking lot on the D 31.

Approach: Next to the final waterfall, turn right orographically up a small path. Cross the bridge and now orographically left on a marked path always close to the stream up to the vicinity of a house (Cantoi - 645 m a.s.l.). Here you climb to the foot of the high waterfall to the entry into the lowest part of the Froda (600 m above sea level).next to the final waterfall orographically right on a small path steeply up to the stone bridge. If you want a flatter, easier path, you can also start at the church in the village (Ciesa Pietro e Paolo) --> see Start Intermedio; from there in the direction of Santa Petronilla (= stone bridge). Now ascend orographically left on a marked path always close to the stream until near a house (Cantoi - 645 m a.s.l.) (here you could already descend to the stream if you want to skip the 70 /115 m sequence). Continue along the path until after a hairpin bend a path branches off to the left (approx. 790m); follow this for a few more minutes until you reach the stream at 770m.
Tour: If you are looking for a very vertically demanding canyon, this is the right place for you --> work carefully with the rope and always give enough rope (some of the edges are very sharp) --> essentially you have a breathtaking view throughout the canyon --> be careful in the lower part (after the stone bridge) --> danger of falling rocks due to rope retrival or bathers.

Return: Turn right (watch out for barriers!) approx. 400m to the car.

Riale di Censo: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, a path leads eastwards into the forest. On the ascent we meet a hiking trail coming from the right, which we follow further uphill. About halfway up, we cross the Riale di Censo and continue uphill in a northerly direction. We then come to a road, which we follow to the right until we reach the stream (entry). Alternatively, take the car to the upper parking lot and from there directly into the stream. The toll road costs 10 francs or euros per vehicle. Payable in coins only! Please park the lower car on the grass verge, not on the tarred section towards the campsite.
Tour: 14 - 16 rappel. Possibly sometimes problems with the rope retrival (eg at the C65 - transfer 50m/15m)). The final rappel (C40) into the chute can be avoided by rappelling over the wall on the right. The jump that is marked in the topographic view at Nizzola no longer exists.

Riale di Censo: Canyon End
Return: After the boulder climb at the exit of the canyon left out to the car.

Riale di Censo: Parking at Exit
Access: From the highway junction (Gotthard/Bernardino) north of Bellinzona, head north on the N 2 via Claro to Scubiago (5.5 km). In Scubiago, turn right off the N 2 just before the bridge over the Riale di Censo and after about 350 m you reach the stream again. Here you can park your car (on the other side of the bridge is the "Al Censo" campsite) and you can also take a second car via Claro on a toll road (10 CHF - 2025) to the entry point.
Return: After the boulder climb at the exit of the canyon left out to the car.

Approach: From the chapel follow the slope, crossing the wooden bridge of the Hornbach, stay on the forest road. Keeping to the right, about 150m after the second fork, you will come to a bridge with wooden planks over the Doserbach (lowest access). About 50m further on the forest road on the righthand side is a hunter's high stand. There, on the left, approximately on the border between forest and clearing, ascend pathlessly - at best indistinct footprints. About 100 meters of altitude up to a game crossing (difficult to see), which leads left into the canyon (medium access). If you continue (pathless) upwards to 1630 meters altitude, you reach the free slopes above the canyon (Faulholzer Kar) and traverse here about 150m to the left (in eastern direction) to the upper entry into the canyon.
Tour: After the entry in the Hochkar, smaller steps follow at first, then increasingly higher rappel. After the middle access, the canyon temporarily becomes very narrow.

Doserbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Reutte on the 198 up the Lech valley to Stanzach. 500m behind the center of Stanzach turn right, cross the Lech and drive 2.4 km to Vorderhornbach. There we take the Hornbacher Landstraße L264 in the direction of Hinterhornbach. After 4.5 km we cross the Stützbach stream coming from the right (from the north). !30m further on and still before the avalanche gallery we turn left downhill at a sharp angle onto the forest road. After a good 50m there is a small chapel on the left of the track (hardly visible from the tarred road). Park your car here in front of the wooden fence.
Return: If there is too much water in the Hornbach, you can get out on the left before it flows into the Hornbach and climb up the canyon rim to the forest road. Otherwise you can cross the Hornbach directly and climb up to the road on the other side or, if there is little water, stay in the Hornbach until you reach the parking lot.

Caffaro (superiore): Canyon Start
Approach: We rope down from a tree into the river.
Tour: 4 rappel, nice the 30m rappel, otherwise not very interesting locomotion in the riverbed. Exit to the left, where the riverbed becomes wider again.

Caffaro (superiore): Canyon End
Return: Up the embankment and past a house to the road.

Caffaro (superiore): Parking at Entry
Access: From Lago d'Idro (Anfo or Ponte Caffaro) on the SP 669 up to Bagolino. Just before reaching the village, we already cross the Caffaro - (here is the entry to the lower part). Passing Bagolino we continue on the SP 669 and about 5.5 km after the village we come to a bridge over the Caffaro (Ponte Dasarè). Here we leave our car in a suitable place (parking access). A shuttle would be possible, but is not really worth it because of 850m return. Better one walks without luggage back to the car, while the others wait with the luggage.
Return: Up the embankment and past a house to the road.

Access: From Ierapetra westward along the sea (rarely seen) to Myrtos (14 km). Passing the village, the road (No. 97) turns inland towards Ano Viannos and goes uphill. After 7 km (from Mirtos there is a road to Loutrake on the left. However, we continue for about 1400 m towards Ano Viannos and come to the place where the road crosses the streambed of Lapathos. A few meters in front of it on the left of the road place for parking the lower vehicle.From the lower vehicle we continue a little over 6 km in the direction of Ano Viannos, then we take the road leaving on the right and go up to Kato Simi.The tarred road (2008!) continues to the north; we follow it and pass first some small waterfalls on the right and then at about 1000 m a.s.l. to the ruins of a Greek sanctuary (Ermis Afrodite), which was already founded by the Minoans, securely fenced in militarily. Interesting is the spring that comes out watery right next to the fence (in the NE of the fenced area). With or without stopping, the road continues uphill - the tarred surface is now missing. A good kilometer after the excavation site we turn right at a fork, then see a remarkable waterfall above on the left (dry in March 2008), and a little further on we can find a signposted viewpoint on the right. We pass a gate and have reached the highest point at the edge of a plateau (about 4 km after the ruins). At a T-junction we keep to the right, see a house on the right and cross another dirt road about 300 m further on. Now we go downhill in southeastern direction until we reach a fence with a locked gate. Here we park the second vehicle.
Return: After the last rappel (80 m/8 m/28 m) about half an hour still rappel hiking, then just before the bridge left out to the road.

Rio Sissanis: Canyon Start
Approach: Go uphill along the forest road through the valley. Above the short gorge 'Stretta di Fleons' turn right and follow trail 142 to the alpine pasture of Casera Sissanis di Sotto. On the pasture descend following the cattle tracks to the beginning of the gorge. It is best to keep to the orographic right bank of the first tributary.
Tour: Continuous sequence of rappels without much walking passages. * 10m from tree on the right * 15m from anchor right, below water cave with some at additional water * 15m from anchor left * rappel 5m from ring hook on the top right into hanging pools * 35m from anchor right rappel, next belay is above siphoned block. Rope pull problems and very sharp rock. * 12m rappel from anchor on top right side * rappel 30m from rappel hook on right side * 10m rappel from ring hook right to hanging belaystation right, then 20m down into pool.

Afra: Canyon Start
Comment: wenn man den Canyon von oben nach unten geht
Approach: From P 2 we walk down the path in a northerly direction until we can descend on the left at the remains of a mill into the streambed of Wadi Afra.
Tour: The ascent now takes place upstream. The steps can all be negotiated without difficulty in the warm water, which gets progressively hotter towards the top, or on the bank. The whirlpools invite us to linger. When we see the facilities of the thermal bath, we should walk downhill again a bit and get out in such a way that we are spared the payment of the entrance fee for the thermal bath.

Comment: P2 (Zustieg) ohne Kombi mit Hasa upper
Access: From Karak we drive east on the "50" for about 3.5 km and turn south on the latter at the intersection with the "35". From the junction we drive 31 km to the bridge over the Wadi Hasa and then 6.7 km after the bridge we turn right at an acute angle onto the road to the thermal bath "Hammamat Afra" or "Hammam Burbeita". On this road we drive 9 km from the junction and then we arrive at the parking lot P1, where we would park the car for the access to the Wadi Hasa Upper, if we wanted to combine its access with the access to the Wadi Afra. If we want to limit ourselves to the Wadi Afra, we continue from P1 and after 2 km we arrive at P2. Here we park the car for the access. The second car - if we have one - for the exit we park another 1,8 km further at P 3.
Return: Wayless east up the slope to the road.

Carpenada: Canyon Start
Approach: Here begins a path - at its junction we stay left (signpost; white-red marking) - up towards Nusieda Alta (see https://youtu.be/FRCTylLozGU ). We cross the Cal San Daniel, then another ditch and stay right at the next fork of the path. The next valley cut is then the Val Carpenada (entry).
Tour: A total of 13 rappel. After the highest rappel (C28) exit possibility on a crossing path to the left. The exit is at the Lago del Mis reservoir.

Carpenada: Canyon End
Return: Around to the left, at first probably floating; as soon as the steepness of the bank allows it, we climb up and further in the forest steeply up until we reach the path that crossed the canyon after the 28m rappel. Turning to the right, we reach the path that gave us access. On this path we return to the car.

Approach: From the dam up the forest road, after about 100-150m follow the trail to the left. After some time you meet again the forest road, follow this until you cross the Anfela. Then a short distance further uphill until a path on the right leads directly to the stream.
Tour: The canyon has definitely been improved since the Cwiki description below (new anchors, no more tree abseils) Status 2022 The first 2 belays on the right, under the bridge after a short walking passages there is an aquatic 25m rappel chain anchor on the right (anchor for safety rope to the belay available. Downclimb until you reach a low gorge, the anchor for the 10m rappel is hidden in the gap on the left. There are several downclimbs in the gorge and a 5m abseil from a hidden anchor on the right above the edge. At the exit of this gorge, you can climb very steeply to the left back to the forest road. After a longer section of walking and abseiling, the most beautiful part of the tour begins. Two 3m slides lead into a beautifully washed-out gorge with many small slides and 8 rappels up to 25m. Then there is a 4m jump (the only one of the tour), two downclimbs and some tricky downclimbs in the waterfall before you reach an arduous 30min downclimb section in open terrain. The canyon exits abruptly directly into the reservoir.

Access: Coming from Belluno on the SS51 over the high bridge over the Piave gorge, then turn right towards Sottocastello and follow the road until a T-junction at a large parking lot. Here follow the road downhill to the right and after about one KM turn right (sign Al Lago). Cross the top of the dam and at its exit turn right. Follow the road until the bridge over the Anfela. More or less rock fall parking after this bridge. Coming from the north, you can reach Sottocastello by turning right towards Cortina after the tunnel under Pieve di Cadore and then taking the first turning on the right. If you have two cars, you can drive up the forest road after the dam for a few meters and then park on the left (saving about 1 km of flat walking). Continue only with off-road vehicles (deep grooves in the ground), but as of 2022 there was a sign prohibiting driving.
Return: After the bridge, it is best to turn left up to the road

Approach: From P1 we climb up the road as on the access to Soffia. We pass the houses of Gena Madia (570m altitude) and come up to Gena Alta at 800m altitude. Here we turn right (eastwards) to the entry to Soffia and Val Pisson. However, we take the little-used path that leads out of the hamlet in a north-westerly direction. At an altitude of 970m, an inconspicuous path turns off to the left from this path. It remains essentially horizontal and we enter a rocky ledge. We come to a grotto with a memorial plaque. We continue along the ledge, the path has slipped in places. It becomes increasingly exposed. The ledge finally exits at 1100m in a ditch - "(E)". The descent begins with 2 rappels, followed by a march down to an altitude of 850m.

Here you will find the sign 743 "Stavoli/DelVerzan". Attention the path goes down here to the right along the hedge into the woods. After a short while you cross a dry streambed. Do not enter here but descend further to the main stream at approx. 650m (remains of walls). 2nd possibility (about 1h15min): From the houses at Stavoli Ravorade (516m) follow the tracks towards the houses of "Verzan" at about 720m. At Verzan you descend into the open mostly dry streambed.
Tour: The Rio Chiampeit is a beautiful worthwhile lime canyon that should be walked best after rains or in the spring, because then there is also water in the pools in the upper part (dry also not bad). The upper part of the canyon is very diverse. Walking and downclimb alternate with rappelling up to max. 25m. The limestone rock is nicely polished and some pools invite you to jump or slide. From the halfway point there is a longer downclimb over rock chaos. In the lower walking section there are small springs and a tributary from the left that also bring water into the canyon in summer. Here one has right also the possibility of an intermediate entry / break-off possibility. There are still some small jumps, slides and two 5m steps that can be rappelled or jumped. After a shorter walking passage with two possible jumps, it gets serious. You are now just before the final waterfall (left) and the last two abseils (15m+70m). The first step can also be slid with enough momentum (rock runs diagonally into the pool!). However, one should be careful at the following edge, since the water rushes here directly 70m into the depth (in case of doubt, one builds a removable rope traverse). The belaystation for the 70m rappel is a bit higher and exposed on the right side (two glued anchors are available!). The almost 70m rappel can also be divided. To do this, you first rappel about 25m in a water stream over an overhang. Immediately after the first overhang you reach a narrow rock band, which you traverse to the (orographic) left to the first anchor. From this last belaystation you rappel mostly outside the water flow for about 45m.

Access: Coming from Carnia, take the SS13 towards Tarvisio. Approx. 4 km after the Hotel Carnia, you will see the turn-off to Moggio on the left. Do not take this, but follow the road (SS13) for approx. 50 m and then turn sharp right into the small side road. Follow this road to the exit and park the shuttle car in front of the barrier under the highway bridge (the final waterfall can already be seen from the parking lot). Approach option 1: (30min car + 30min access) Take the second car in the direction of Carnia (Udine). After the traffic junction at Carnia, drive over a bridge with tracks underneath. Shortly afterwards, you should turn left towards Tugliezzo, but this is not possible because of the road closure, so continue a little further and turn right towards Carnia, then turn right again at the first opportunity and follow the road to the left (passes under the SS13 main road) at the crossroads go straight on towards Tugliezzo. An asphalted mountain road winds up next to the huge gravel field towards the few houses of Tugliezzo. After the houses on the plateau, the road descends with a sharp right bend past a barrier and the bridge over the Rio Lavarie. Follow the road uphill until you reach a large turnaround area where you can park the second car (the rest of the road is best done on foot...very narrow and steep). Approach option 2: (10min car + 1h15min access) Take the second car and drive right after the village of Moggia Udinese on an initially asphalted road to the houses of "Stavolli Rovorade" (516m). Park the second car here.
Return: After the final waterfall at the second pool (350m) you get out of the creek on the left and shortly reach the parking lot.

Val del Mus (inferiore): Canyon Start
2024-07-24: We have recently been told that everything should be ok in Val Mus. The 1st step should be downclimbed. Unfortunately, it should be very slippery in and out of the water.
2024-06-20: I heard all anchors are intact and rebelay on the 65 m is new and at a large break under the old spit bolts. So can be broken into smaller abseils, also heard it’s suprisingly fun!
2023-05-24: I heard that I was in this canyon in May 2023. I also saw two brand new anchors on the ledge in the middle of the C 65. This means you can currently walk the Val de Mus with shorter ropes (I would rec...
Approach: From the parking entry, cross the bridge. Then continue to the left along the flat forest road. After some time you will pass a farm. Follow the forest road on the right. You cross the Val Pegolera (streambed). The forest road, still wide, becomes steeper and narrower. After a rock with a stone marker and a stone manderl, the forest road turns into a hiking trail. After the high voltage pylons it is not far and you meet the open Val del Mus (entry at about 700m).
Tour: The rappel is generally two expansion hooks connected with a sling, chain anchors in the higher rappel. The rappel almost all lead through the water stream which is not a problem with the mostly low water flow.\The tour starts right after the trail crossing with a low but nice washed out gorge \n * 18m over two steps rappel from anchor left\n * 3m slide\n * 15m rappel from anchor left\n * 14m rappel from anchor left\n * 2m downclimb\n * 4m rappel from anchor left\n * 3m jump\n * 20m rappel from hook right\n * 2m jump\n * 5m rappel from hook right\n * 32m rappel from hook left\n * 5m jump\n * emergency exit to left or right (red dots on tape)\n * 8m rappel from hook left\n * 6m slide into a deep pool\n * 14m rappel/slide, narrow, anchor left\n * The next rappels follow blow after blow and are separated by deep pools. \n * 15m rappel, anchor left\n * 20m rappel, anchor right\n * 60m rappel under rock bridge, anchor and rope slings left. After 40m and 45m respectively, there would be bad intermediate stands\n above and below an overhang * 18m rappel from anchor left. Canyon from here open\n * 20m rappel from anchor left - after 5m there would be another belay left\n * downclimb and small jumps through a last narrow gorge.

Access: Coming from Belluno, head towards Agordo and continue on the SS203 into the Cordevale Valley. After the village of Mas and Peron, at km. 16.030, on the left side of the road, you will see a house called "Casa Catoniera". Here you park the shuttle car (= parking exit or small parking possibility further ahead at the access road to the gravel parking lot with barrier). Here you can see the final waterfall from a distance. To get to the parking entry, take the second car and continue on the SS203 for about 3 km until you reach the small group of houses of La Muda. Here, on the left after the houses and a little below the main road, there is a parking lot. From here you can already see the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Cordevole. (Without a second car the access/return is prolonged by 30 minutes).
Return: Cross the Cordevole stream to the right and continue until you reach the already visible house/parking exit.

Approach: The gorge begins right at the Rifugio.
Tour: Downclimb the first 2m step, then 6m slide or jump 4m from the right. The next 4m step is slidable after control (hooks left and right). After a short swimming passage follows a steep 5m step which is slidable (small but deep pool). The next step is bypassed on the left with a fixed rope. From here the previous colorful layered limestone is replaced by massive, bright limestone - beautiful washouts with many pools and small slides. The gorge ends with a 10m rappel from chain left of a 6m jump into a large pool above a rock bridge. \The stream falls here into a final gorge and then over a >30m step into Lago de Val Noana, a reservoir. You can exit the gorge on the left via a fixed rope or rappel 10m from one of the fixed ropes and then rappel another 18m into a deep pool. From the edge of the last waterfall, a mini via ferrata with wire rope and iron clamps leads up the partially overhanging wall.

Orrido di Botri Mariana: Canyon Start
Approach: The "Gea 14" trail (Grande Escursione Appenninica) begins at the P2 access parking lot. Follow this path in the direction of Fontana Troghi-Monte Mosca. This takes you to the P2 access parking lot and the Rio Mariana (alternative entry E4). However, as the uppermost parts of the Mariana have nothing to offer, we recommend an entry further down at E3. To do this, head downhill from Ref. Casentini in a southeasterly direction. You come to a crossroads and take the path that leads at an acute angle to the left down to the stream (entry E3). This can also be read and seen on a sketch map in the book by "Caracal".
Tour: 13 rappels, first in the water-poor Rio Mariana, then, after the confluence with the left branch of the Rio Ribellino, long hike - with steps to downclimb - in the great canyon Orrido di Botri (Rio Pelago). Possibly many tourists coming upstream from the exit of the canyon.

Access: On the SS45bis coming from the north (Riva del Garda), pass through Limone and after the long road tunnel, turn right up the impressive road to Pieve (Tremosine). It pays to drive the entire road from the upper parking lot through the Brasa canyon. At night this road gorge part is impressively illuminated. It is a must to see. Both restaurants in the canyons are highly recommended. In Pieve itself, it is worth to enjoy the great view above Lake Garda ("Shudder Terrace"). The road is very narrow and parking is not always possible. The lower parking lot (P2) is on the shoulder of the first rightward haipin bend of the SP38 road up to Tremosine. The upper parking lot (P1) just before the bridge at the entry on the right or a few meters further up on the left.
Return: Do NOT climb up to the main road at the exit. You would have to hike through two long tunnels, which would be very dangerous on this road. It is better to swim to the right along the shore for a few hundred meters until you can climb up to the old harbour road after the tunnel section. You will soon reach the junction at the main road that leads to the lower parking lot (P2). Distance between the two parking lots: 2.3km

Follow the path steeply uphill until you reach hiking trail 424 after about 20 - 25 min. Follow the trail to the right. After about 1h ascent come some ruins and a little higher (at about 760m) at a fork in the road a small cross on the side of the path. Here you follow the right now narrow and sloping path for about 30min. which leads directly to the entry at about 630m (one crosses initially a small stream and passes later shortly before the access still a large rock roof )-->!!!at the access no stones loosereten.
Tour: Arrived at the entry at about 630m you can already see the first pool with crystal clear water but no pitons --> at this point is often jumped, but can also be downclimbed --> this is already followed by the next steps in narrow canyons --> the next belaystation is on the rock right. hidden at the top --> here either 15m directly into the pool or downclimb over a ledge 20m to the next belaystation --> immediately after 10m in the overhang into the pool --> short open gorge section --> walk --> downclimb to the belaystation on the left side before big clamping block R5+S3 in pools below the big clamping block --> after the big clamping block the canyon becomes narrow for a longer time --> many small drops follow which can be downclimbed, jumped or rappelled depending on the water level. Between the bends there are some short walking passages (swimming passages) in impressive surroundings (high canyon walls) --> at a prominent point the canyon makes a 90° left bend here you can rappel to the right (hidden stance) or jump directly 6m --> after a few minutes the first higher approx.20m rappel from a big rock -->and a sunny open spot where you have a steep emergency exit on the right --> open it continues to the 15m rappel on the right or jump --> longer walking and climbing passage in open terrain to the next belaystation far to the right outside --> a short walking passages follows before you reach the highest rappel of about 30m (li.) --> the canyon gets narrower again before it finally opens up --> several walking and climbing sections have to be overcome before you reach the last rappel points --> here you can jump 8m or rappel 10m depending on the water level --> there is another slippery sloping rock slab that can be partly descended or rappelled --> after the ramp it goes right about 1km over a flat streambed to the bridge at about 300m.

Access: approx. 15min From Carnia take the SS13 (main road) in the direction of Tarvisio. About 3km after the village Resiutta there is a small tunnel and a bridge over the Fella river. After the bridge turn left and drive in the direction of Roveredo. After a short time there is a bigger road bridge where you can see a big flat streambed. Here is the exit if you want to go through the whole Rio Simon. It is best to leave the cars here, as there are only a few parking spaces further up in the village, which are rather intended for locals (N46.398500/E013.263400). If you are going to cut, follow the road to the small village of Roveredo with as few cars as possible. In the last few years an access has been established and for this it is best to park at the small church of Roveredo. But ATTENTION! The Rio Simon is one of the most frequented canyons in Friuli and we do not want to disturb the inhabitants. Therefore, please always ask and, if necessary, if there are already too many cars at the parking lot, switch to one of the parking lots that you passed before when approaching the village of Roveredo. (N46.387213/E013.252620) or nearby if it is too busy. Please be considerate of the inhabitants so that we can continue to visit this canyon for a long time without problems.
Return: Right before the bridge to the shuttle car or walk along the road for about 2km to the 2nd car at exit path 424.

Approach: We cross the stream below the large final pumping station, leave the water catchment on the right and climb the footpath in a northerly direction. We come to a wire mesh fence with a locked door. Either we open this door by paying a fee for the via ferrata or we crawl under the fence (above or below the door) as inconspicuously as possible. We follow the path inside the fence uphill, leave the access to the via ferrata (at the natural arch) on the right and reach the upper part of the fence on increasingly sparse tracks. Go back down, then directly along the fence slightly downhill to the right until a gap opens up in the fence after about 200m. Through the gap in an easterly direction to the stream, which we enter directly below the small dam.
Tour: Preferably before mid-May if water flow is desired. See photos and video

Access: From the A 1 (Florence - Rome) at the Fabro exit (23.5 km north of the Orvieto exit) turn east to Fabro Scala, from there continue towards Parrano. About 5 km after leaving the A1, the road crosses a stream. Just after the bridge we follow the signpost 'Tane del Diavolo' on a dirt road that takes us (finally over a small bridge) to the parking area at the exit of the canyon. There you will find a wooden house where the via ferrata is 'managed' through the canyon
Return: After the exit of the canyon and the last big pool fed by a karst spring, out to the parking lot.

Approach: Now we are looking for an access to the nearby stream without disturbing the residents.
Tour: In the stream we then go down to the break-off edge. Here the first of the total of 6 rappel - largely outside the "beam" waiting for us. First we descend on the orographic left side of the waterfall, then on the orographic right side. Details at under "DISCESA", where also a contact for more information is offered.

With the second we go from here on the SS45bis north (direction Riva del Garda) and after about 2 km turn left on the SP38 and go up the impressive road to Pieve (Tremosine). High above the lake we go up and then through the Brasa Gorge (there the canyon of the same name descends to Lake Garda). We pass through the center of Pieve and then continue on Viale Europa towards SW. About 400m after the center we turn half-left onto Via Vagne (signposted "Campi Sportivi") and continue on it for another 900m almost to the stream. Here we park our second car.
Return: Arrived on the old Garda shore road we go right to Campione to the lower car, or to the left if you have parked the lower car at the alternative parking.

Approach: First we follow the directions to the "Valle dell'Inferno" and go on the dead straight track until the bridge over the stream (Resio). Before the bridge we now keep going up over some rock slabs, meet a path and follow it (on the orographic left side of the slope). The path changes over the stream to the other side of the slope. We make an effort to follow the marking "K3" on a blue background. We pass a modern steel cross, but then we do not follow the mark "K3" to the right to the creek, but climb a bit more and reach an area where the path is quite horizontal. Here we enter the stream.
Tour: 14 rappel, at the beginning some possible jumps, slippery, mostly open

Faule Wand Tal: Canyon Start
2022-10-16: To the exit by MTB (15 min), upper entrance not found, in retrospect first go at the sharp bend towards the lower entrance and look at terrain. Many entanglements. Anchorages OK.
Approach: The access to the exit can be shortened by MTB otherwise we walk down to the Hornbach, cross it and then walk on the orographic. right side of the Hornbach stream up towards Petersbergalpe. Soon we cross a wide gravel bed that flows down from the Karlestal. Later the forest road crosses to the orographic left side of the Hornbach. However, we stay here on the orographic. right side and follow the Schöneckersteig (hiking trail 432), which winds up in many switchbacks on the orographic. left side of the Faule Wand valley. At 1555 m above sea level, the path turns abruptly in a westerly direction and flattens out. At this right bend we turn in the opposite direction (east) and, crossing the steep slopes, look for the access to the stream. We reach it at the foot of a waterfall about 40 m high. It is also possible to enter above this waterfall. To do this, the turnoff from the trail must be made about 500 meters later and the traverse into the canyon must be made 80 to 100 meters higher (above a small rock wall, but just below the high prominent rock wall). This gives you five nice rappels in addition. Presumably it is also possible to enter below the Kreuzkarsee. The access is then longer but much more comfortable. The uppermost part, however, has not yet been explored.
Tour: Consequence mostly higher rappel. In some cases, quite narrow forced passages have to be mastered. These can be critical at higher water levels. The rock structure is very varied and mostly very grippy.

Approach: The cable car (one way 5 euros - 2014) brings us quickly to 890m altitude. We take the path "500", then "507" in the direction of Malga Kraun. It joins a forest road that we follow. Soon we cross the Val Piaget. We follow the path for about 60 minutes in total. Then we come to a side stream of Val Fredda. We can either enter already via this one or go a little further to enter directly into the main stream (see overview sketches in photo gallery).
Tour: 10 rappels; first some from trees, the valley is still relatively open. Then the canyon narrows and we come to the key point, the 130m waterfall - "Cascatina Batol". First 10m to the edge, then 30m with a stance offset to the left on a sloping ledge, then the remaining 90m. According to catasforre.aic, the 145 m waterfall is equipped as follows: 10-30-45-60 (not verified)) The route continues in a chaos of rock with some smaller rappels and climbs. Finally, another high drop (10m + 65m) before we reach the plain. Escape routes: You can climb out of the canyon before the incised part. In the wooded part above the final waterfall there is a visible path that crosses the canyon. This leads into the valley - ATTENTION: very exposed path of shepherds. There is a gate that may have to be climbed over. The path comes out at the valley station of the cable car.

2025-07-12: Beautiful canyon! Some great rappels, and anchoring is great. Waterlevel was fun but never any danger
2025-07-10: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Gargazzone Nice canyon. The last part of the acces is ok to find. Almost all abseilers are out of the water. (Quelle: https://www.descente-can...
2025-07-10: Great canyon 🤩. Almost not slippery. Cold water. Very well equipped. Thanks to the blue and white markings and the "flags" we found the access from the cross with a bit of looking around. A few photo...
Approach: Access: from the parking lot, follow the signs that lead to the medieval tower (Kröllturm) and to Ve rano/Vöran. Take the path to Vöran, which crosses the stream via a small bridge and climbs steeply up the orographic right bank. Follow the path through the forest until you reach a flatter part with a beautiful view of the Adige Valley; shortly afterwards you will come to a viewpoint with a bench and a wooden cross (altitude difference approx. 550 meters, coordinates 46.590306 11.208284). Behind the cross, follow the path to the right into the forest; keep the altitude and head towards the canyon. After overcoming a scree slope, you should come to a rocky ridge which you must bypass. Continue following the Pro canyon sign until you reach the rocks that lead to the depths. On one of these rocks, the chain of the first belay (at altitude 600 meters) shines. From this belay you reach the riverbed of the stream with two abseils of about 20 and 45 meters Access is generally complicated and exposed.
Tour: Remarks: if you are short of time, you can only walk the lower part. From the parking exit, walk along the orographic left bank of the stream for about 15-20 minutes, following the signs to the Rio Eschio canyon ⁃ Aschlbachschlucht and the tower. When you get close to the tower, take a small path on the left that leads directly to the foot of the clearly visible, highest waterfall. From this point, the canyon becomes narrow and the difficulty and risk increase with the strong water flow. Two emergency exits: 1. after the Hufeisen waterfall 2. after the 45 m waterfall, left uphill to the viewpoint

Borgo: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot over the first bridge under the house --> before the 2nd bridge (stone bridge) first go about 100m to the left to the weir to check the correct water level (small climb) --> at the waterfall in front of the weir you can judge the water level well --> then back to the stone bridge, cross it and go left. Follow the stony pilgrims' path up --> below the mountain village (Boggio) away further to the left --> here you can also see the 2 large inlets into the torrent --> after approx. 30min. you reach the bridge (entry) at approx. 970Hm (signs at bridge).
Tour: From the parking lot, cross the two streams and then turn left (northward) up to Baggio (930 m a.s.l.). Pass under the village and the fountain on the left and continue into Val Darengo until the trail reaches the borgo.\nYou can also descend in the sparse coppice wood 500 m before reaching the bridge to the stream (first keep left, then along the rocky bank upstream until a problem-free downclimb becomes possible - marked with cairns in 2006).

Borgo: Canyon End
Return: Right down over dam wall --> downclimb the streambed over rock and stone --> leave the streambed before the bridge on the right --> follow trail to parking lot.

Borgo: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the campsite Solarium in Domaso (in front of Garvedona) take the road to Garvedona --> at the beginning of the village turn right to Livo (steep asphalt road) --> after Livo continue (left) to Dangri --> from the cemetery 2,8km on a bad gravel road to the exit at Dangri (650m) (limited parking before the bridge).
Return: Right down over dam wall --> downclimb the streambed over rock and stone --> leave the streambed before the bridge on the right --> follow trail to parking lot.

Access: Take the SS 45 until Toscolano Maderno, then turn onto the road to Gaino. Go through Gaino and continue steadily uphill. The road becomes a dirt road. Follow the signs to the "Rifugio Pirlo". After about 5 km you come to a green metal bridge. Park your car there.
Return: Either after the mouth of the Campiglio in the Torrente Toscolano right up to the slope and on this back to the car or - better - in the Toscolano downhill to the bridge. An exit on the water drainage is not advisable, because the channel - above and parallel to the Torrente Toscolano - is later led through long tunnels.

Access: First as to Pacoulla, cf. . However, we do not drive through to Fontainemore at first, but park the car for the exit near the bridge over the Torrente Bouro. The bridge is reached on the SR44 about 1.5 km after Lilianes and 9.4 km from the highway exit Pont Saint Martin (see Google maps "approach" in photo gallery). With the second car we continue to the access to Pacoulla (see there), cross the stream and about 150m further keep half-left at the road junction up to the hamlet of Chuchal (see Google maps "Implementation" in photo gallery). We park the second car in the immediate vicinity of Torrente Bouro.
Return: Before the road bridge out to the right and to the car.

Colomba: Canyon Start
Comment: E1 (1620m alt.) (descente)
Approach: From P1 to E. (upper and üblicher entry at 1620m Höhe)\n\according to the map 2 it seems möglich to enter directly at the Brückenreste before the beginning of the narrowing: "E2" at about 1480m Höhe (Geuna/Ruotolo draw here in the sketch of their book an exit möglichkeit). So könnte one could save at least 45 min. Bachhatscher. The question is whether the old path to the dilapidated bridge can still be found without problems (see entry in map 2).
Tour: About 12 rappel. After the mündung of the Colomba into the Torrente Liscony, the water flow can increase significantly. Towards the exit of the tour öthe canyon opens up and there are länger runs to do. Exit then onto the road that runs along the right above the stream (995m Höhe).

Approach: We take the path that leads from the car towards the clearly visible final waterfall of the Claretto. We come to the stream, cross it and climb steeply on a path on the orographic right bank. We come across a forest path, follow it and then we see on the right, a little below, the small diversion channel (possibility of emergency exit if necessary) and we come to an alpine hut ("La mojùn de paréin Steu"). We now take the path on the right down into the canyon (signpost "Tordupi") and quickly reach the bridge where we enter.
Tour: 11 rappels, first smaller rappels, then the final vertical with a total of 150m (23/68/60). The (emergency) exit option onto the canal to the right opens up after the 5th/6th rappel and a slightly longer section without a rappel. On the first step of the high rappel, do not leave too much rope hanging in the beam, as there are regular rescue operations here due to canyoneers getting stuck. From a chain anchor on the left, rappel 23m with several deviations to the left to reach a narrow ledge in front of the overhang (space for approx. 3 people). From the ledge, rappel very exposed to the left to the actual belay. Descend 68m into the pool and then rappel the last step from the left or right.

Approach: First as to the Cl. inferiore: we take the path that leads from the car towards the clearly visible final waterfall of the Claretto. We come to the stream, cross it and climb steeply upwards on a path on the orographic right bank. We come to a forest path, follow it and then see the small drainage channel slightly below on the right and come to an alpine hut ("La mojùn de paréin Steu"). This would be the access to Cl. inferiore. However, we continue uphill on the slope until we reach a leftward haipin bend at 1520m. Here, we can take two shortcuts on hairpin bends that extend far to the north. At the leftward haipin bend at 1520m, we then turn right off the road and take the path down to the stream (entry).
Tour: About 32-34 rappels in the upper part only. Except for two very short open passages, the route is narrow throughout. Rappels are often exposed due to strong flood pressure and can only be reached via handrails. When we reach the bridge where the entry to the lower part is, we can either exit to the right and take the access path back and down again or, if conditions are suitable, we decide to continue the descent in the lower part (see - also for the way back in this case - description Cl. inferiore).

Access: Coming from Turin, leave the highway at the Chianocco exit and continue via Bussoleno to Foresto. At the fallen memorial plaque, cross the Foresto stream and after 70m park at the large, signposted parking lot (drinking water, picnic area).
Return: After the last waterfalls, turn left along a path under a climbing garden and back to the access path.

Approach: We cross the Rio Seguret to the eastern bank, and follow the trail that goes up the mountain in a northeasterly direction to the Auberge Inferiore (1325m altitude). From here we take the "Sentiero Balcone"- n. "19" which, passing the Auberge di Mezzo (1420m), heads west towards the cut of the Rio Seguret. Where it turns half-right, we come across an old water pipe, which we follow (orange markers) to the streambed (entry).
Tour: Sequence of about 30 rappel. The belay stations are sometimes not optimally set up and the rope retrival can sometimes cause problems.

Return: After the final rappel out to the right and on the slope to the car.

Conforent: Canyon Start
Approach: We now take the path that leads in a northerly direction, crosses the Stura and goes up the orographic right slope of the Rio Conforent (yellow markings). We ignore a path that goes off to the right over the stream, which is indicated with a red mark (would be the way back with the alternative access). A little later our path also crosses the Rio Conforent and winds upwards in serpentines. At an altitude of 1600m we meet a path that comes up from the Castello above Pietraporzio (alternative access). We follow it uphill until we reach an altitude of just over 1900m. Here the path makes a sharp bend in a southerly direction and a green arrow on a rock points to the entry. We traverse the steep slope roughly horizontally and are quickly in the streambed. When we hit the right point of entry, we see in green the inscription "Canyon Club Adrenalina".\n
Tour: Ahead of us are 25 rappels, repeatedly interrupted by block passages in the upper area. (Emergency) exit possibilities open up at best in the first quarter of the descent. The limestone is partly sharp-edged.

Conforent: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel - C33 - the canyon opens and we quickly meet our access path, where it crosses the stream. If we have chosen the alternative access from the Castello above the village of Pietraporzio, we take the path that after a few meters on the path on the orographic right bank of the Conforent again turns left over the stream and is marked with red markings. It brings us back to the Castello.

Bandia (superiore): Canyon Start
Approach: Now we walk to the entry as marked on the map ("photo gallery"). Finally we reach the place where we leave the track to the right on a path (1900m altitude). Near the wayside shrine "I Pilone" we stand here at a viewpoint . The path first walks along the slope (it is also possible to continue on the slope for several hundred meters and then change to the path - there is a sign on a tree: "Gias Bandia"). We descend and subsequently come across peculiar small barrel vaults in the terrain. In the past, these were used as shelters (covered with earth) for the mountain shepherds on the alpine pasture. Above them was the stable for their animals. We could continue on the path until we reach the streambed of a side stream and go down in it until we reach the entry to the Rio Bandia (in this case, no orientation problems). However, we leave the trail at the first trunas and follow a track that runs roughly horizontally to the east. We cross a small stream gully and then descend near a solitary pine into the side valley of the Rio Bandia, where we can downclimb to the entry on the bank.
Tour: 15 rappel in a homogeneous alpine canyon, which opens neither slides nor possible jumps, but gains its attractiveness from the ambience. "Schlüselstelle" is an exposed relay on the C41, which helps to avoid rappel in the stream. After the canyon opens, it is possible to descend mainly on the left bank outside the blocked streambed. Then we look for a poorly discernible track that leads out of the stream on the right. At the latest at a footbridge, where also an old water pipe channel starts, we leave the stream to the right. \n\nAlternatively, here you can "attach" the lower section of the stream (Rio Bianco/Rio Bandia inferiore) (see description for this).

Bandia (superiore): Canyon End
Return: We follow the path and march to the houses of Moriglione di Fondo. From here a path leads us back to the car at Moriglione S. Lorenzo (see map sketch in photo gallery).

Bianco Bandia (inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: From here a trail leads up to Moriglione S. Lorenzo. We cross the hamlet and take the path to Sambuco, which takes us through the hamlet of Moriglione di Fondo to the footbridge at the exit from the upper section of the stream. Here we enter the lower part.
Tour: Longer stretches of walking and descending. 6-10 rappel, the 31m rappel just before the water diversion (A1 - about 1250m altitude). After the water diversion still a good hour downhill to the exit A2 at the old road bridge (under this bridge another 2m slide).

Bianco Bandia (inferiore): Canyon End
Return: At A1 after the water diversion out onto the footbridge, there right up to Moriglione S. Lorenzo and to the car at P1. Alternatively, continue downstream to the exit A2 (if necessary, take the 2m slide under the old road bridge). It should also be considered that in an integral ascent (Bandia + Bianco) only one gets off at A1 and fetches the car at P1, but the others descend completely to A2.

Bianco Bandia (inferiore): Parking at Entry
Access: Either from the direction of Cuneo or from the Roya Valley we come to Borgo San Dalmazzo. From here we take the SS21 and go up the valley of the Stura di Demonte via Demonte and Vinadio, passing Sambuco. Immediately after the last houses of Sambuco the road crosses the Rio Bianco/Bandia. Immediately after the bridge we park our car in a suitable place.
Return: At A1 after the water diversion out onto the footbridge, there right up to Moriglione S. Lorenzo and to the car at P1. Alternatively, continue downstream to the exit A2 (if necessary, take the 2m slide under the old road bridge).

Madonna: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot we follow the road (Via Colle del Mulo) in a northeasterly direction (Vallon de la Madonna). After about 400m, a path branches off to the right that leads over a bridge to the other bank of the stream. We ignore this and stay on the orographic right bank. After another 400m our path crosses to the other bank. We follow the red-white markings and climb in always constant relatively small distance to the brook in many serpentines upward. At about 1740m the path leads out of the forest and a view of the upper waterfalls opens up. Above them we climb into the path.
Tour: About 15 rappels await us, starting with the impressive C23. Here, a ropeway could be helpful in case of strong water flow. The canyon is subsequently narrowly cut. Where it opens up again, a few more steps await us that are not belayed but can be bypassed. Then we pay attention to a barely recognizable pad that crosses the stream. We exit here to the left.\n

Madonna: Canyon End
Return: After a few meters we come across our approach path and follow it back down to the car.\n\who wants to indulge in a bit of pioneering variety gets off to the right instead of to the left. Again, a path leads down to Sambuco to the car (see photo gallery).

Approach: We take the trail that starts at the church (1055m altitude) and also leads to the final waterfall of Noaschetta. However, before reaching the waterfall we turn right and climb on ribbons through the rock walls up to Alpe Sengie (1300m altitude). We take the path that passes below the houses and heads towards the stream. At the footbridge that crosses the stream in the course of the path we enter - see also wikiloc.
Tour: 9 rappels; after 4 rappels, before the difficulties begin with strong water flow, possible exit to the right (see topographic view). The descent is now in a chute. The exit from the pool after the 25m rappel is not without problems. The 60m - final rappel is broken on the topographic view (15/50). From the pool under this waterfall we come out to the left on the path that leads from the village to the waterfall.\n

Approach: First, as for the ascent of the lower part: we take the trail that starts at the church (1055m altitude) and also leads to the final waterfall of the Noaschetta. However, before reaching the waterfall we turn right and climb on ribbons through the rock walls up to Alpe Sengie (1300m altitude). We take the path that passes below the houses and heads towards the stream. we cross on the footbridge to the orographic right bank and we continue to climb northwards along the path that we now meet towards Rifugio Noaschetta, located a few meters above the mentioned channel. We arrive at the houses of Borgà Sassa (1350m altitude). From here we continue climbing to Alpe Pian Sengio (1520m altitude). Here we enter the open and almost horizontal scree bed of the stream. From the Case Sengie, according to the map, an access also seems possible continuously on the orographic left side of the stream, see map - dotted line. For other alternatives, associated with appropriate shuttle see http://www.gulliver.it/itinerario/52609/
Tour: About 7 rappel, slide and possible jumps. At the latest when you reach the footbridge, where the entry to the lower part takes place, you can get off or join the ascent of the lower part.

Comment: 3. Möglichkeit
Approach: From the parking lot, walk towards the church --> behind it, several narrow alleys lead to the hiking trail that leads up to Cappella di Cima --> the stone steps go up steeply throughout --> past the iron gate to a small stone house with a fountain (approx. 540m) --> behind this house you have the first descent option into the canyon (entry Nizzola Eldorado Ticino)--> 2nd option is a little further up at the pilgrimage house --> follow the stone wall here until you reach a steel cable with a tree --> 3rd option is at the 2nd pilgrimage house on the right at the pilgrimage house. The second option is a little further up at the pilgrimage house --> follow the stone wall until you reach a steel cable and an abseiling point R25 from a tree --> 3rd option at the 2nd pilgrimage house right towards Camusegn and follow the path to the bridge.
Tour: During our ascent, we walked along the stone wall at the first Wahlfahrtshäuschen until the rappel from Baum (R25) --> now you stand in the streambed --> a short walking passage follows through a mighty chaos of rocks that you can easily bypass left --> there are more small climbs up to the gigantic granite boulders that you bypass left over a rope traverse --> after more climbing, a boulder with fixed ropes and rappel C15 through a gap follows left --> there is a nice jump or rope traverse. rappel of approx. 10m into a very deep pool --> after the swimming passage it gets narrower --> rappel left approx. 16m --> narrow pool in very clear water up to the point where you can jump, rappel or slide (deep pool) --> the next point is very narrow, so jumping is only for experienced climbers --> the next 40m of rappels are lined up at different depths and some have sharp edges --> the view of the next pool and the valley is beautiful (the afternoon sun is ideal) --> the last rappel can be bypassed on the right, but the lowest pool at approx. 350Hm still invites for a swim. The indicated access and descent times apply to the entry as described in Eldorado Ticino. The description of the tour between the bridge and the Nizzola entry is missing.

Tour: 8-10 rappels, some slides and jumps. There are also longer running sections in between. We descend to the confluence with the Pogallo; as an alternative to the exit described here, you can also get out on the right before the confluence with the Pogallo at the remains of a small wall near the stream and climb up the slope to join the approach path at the top. Follow this to the left over the bridge and back to Cicogna. Finally, there is also the option of descending further in the Pogallo. The next bridge is the usual entry point for this canyon tour.

Return: At the confluence with the Rio Grande (from the right), we climb up the latter - orographic. right bank - until we can get off on a path. Now we go back to Cicogna, where we can cut the road turns on a mule path.\n\nIf there is too much water in the Rio Grande for an ascent, turn downstream and then get off about 200m further down.

Pogallo: Parking at Entry
Comment: Optional. Can be hiked or hitchhiked.

Approach: To the Fer inferiore: A path leads directly from the car in a steep NW direction down to the stream. To reach the upper entry point for the integral ascent, we take the slope at the car parked at the top, which initially runs NNW and later SSW towards the stream. We take the path where the slope crosses the stream.
Tour: 20 rappels in total, 9 rappels in the lower part in a great ambience. Relatively open at the beginning, increasingly incised as the lower part progresses. Possible jumps. Exit via a small metal ladder to the right onto the path by the water drainage.

Approach: Starting at the bend in the road, hiking trail "22" leads us uphill in an easterly direction. We meet a forest road, but soon leave it again to the hiking trail "10", which turns right from the slope and leads over the mountain stream. On its orographic left slope we go up to another bridge that lets us rejoin the slope. On this one we go a few meters to the right, then we climb above the C14 into the stream (see also general map and detailed aerial view of the entry).
Tour: About 17 rappel, some jump and slide possibilities. In between running routes and a lot of block climbing. Slippery underground. \n\nRed arrows mark the exit to the right after the last waterfall (C19) and a small step (see aerial photo exit).\n

Access: We take the A5 Turin - Aosta - Chamonix freeway (Autostrada de la Valle d'Aosta) and leave it via the Verrès exit. On the SR45 we go up to the Val D'Ayas. Not quite 9 km after leaving the highway, we pass through the village of Tilly. At the northeastern exit of the village we leave the SR45 and follow the signs to Ruvère, Tollegaz. We cross the river Evancon, see the mouth of the Torrente di Chasten on the righthand side and park our car in a suitable place in the next left turn (see also Google aerial photos).

After the last building, take the path down to the left. Follow the water pipe for a while and then take the tracks down to the stream bed until you reach a bridge.
Tour: 5-8 rappels. The 45 m fall with an intermediate belay after approx. 18 m, followed by a diverter 6 m before the pool to stay safely out of the water jet. Can be jumped from the diverter.

Approach: The access paths are well marked on the information board at the exit. Caution on many maps (including OSM) as of 2023 paths are poorly or incorrectly marked; those on the board fit well and the access routes are currently also well signposted. Access upper part: Follow the path or the signs until you reach the Alpe Briga houses (fountain to fill up with water). Follow the path back into the forest; after a few minutes a path branches off to the left. Mostly marked with blue dots from here. Alternatively (earlier) after Alpe Briga you will see a large conspicuous tree with a large stone Standing by the tree, you will see another stone towards the canyon on the lower right at the meadows/ bushes crossing. A path begins here. Both options are more or less visible; in any case you have to go down to the water catchment. This is the start of the superiore section. There are still a few worthwhile rappels further up - a suitable access will be worked out by the locals in 2025. Access superiore approx. 1h30 min Entry at the water drainage Access interm approx. 40 min (signs follow) Access inferiore approx. 10 min (signs follow)
Tour: For the upper part, downclimb from the dam on the left for about 1 minute to the first belaystation. Great tour in the upper part, which has now been well renovated. Description from intermedio: The descent begins with the entrance to a relatively narrow chute. This is followed by 11 rappels to the exit after this sporty part (810m altitude). In the lower part another 5 rappels in open terrain. Exit to the right before the road bridge (720m altitude). The Lasino is an open rappel canyon with mostly little water. However, this should not mean that the technical passages, especially in the intermedio, should be underestimated. The canyon is very well equipped and there are plenty of sticky/drill hooks for the rope railing to reach exposed belays. Once you arrive at the entry of the Intermedio, you immediately start with a 30m abseil. This is followed by the next rappel. The highest point (50m) is in the middle of the Lasino intermedio (the belay can be reached by pulling off the rope traverse on the left side), after the high abseil there is a small step (approx. 10m), then a fun slide. This is followed by a cascade of 2x20m before a huge boulder blocks the way. Here you will find a small slip-through with bolts to overcome the slippery 3m. After this, the canyon becomes more open and less technically demanding. This is where the lower section (Lasino inferiore) begins. This is followed by several rappels into beautiful shimmering green pools with another casual slide towards the exit. After the slide there is a small rappel, a short downclimb/walking passage and the 30m final rappel (due to thorn bushes it is better to rappel in the water!) The tour ends before the stone bridge/road bridge at 730m.

Approach: We cross the village and then take the trail "D4" to the (ruined) Alpe Pertus (1075m altitude). Continue uphill on the "D4" - roughly parallel to the Variola - towards Alpe Corte, La Balma. At 1110m altitude and a few meters before a side stream, an inconspicuous track goes off to the left and we arrive at a footbridge in the stream (1140m altitude). In various descriptions are described entries further up and further down.
Tour: After the first pools and some walking passages, the stream begins to notch. In total, almost rappel, but also some possible jumps await us. At the dam, the descent is sensibly terminated, as the further descent to the entry into the lower part is only tiring.

Approach: Follow the hiking trail and soon cross the Rio Rasiga. You then reach the small hamlet of Monsignore. Cross it and continue right towards Monteossolano until you come to a beautiful old bridge over the Variola. This is the entry point. If you only have one car available, you can walk 400 m from the bridge at the exit on the road, then turn right at an acute angle and enter the village of Messasca. From here, a somewhat overgrown path leads uphill in a northerly direction. Follow this to the path coming from Bognanco and walk along it to the right to the old stone bridge.
Tour: After the first rappel under the bridge follows an entertaining descent, which culminates in a 35 m - chute with a long pool. Towards the exit some nice slides and jumps. Since Aug. 2010 the ascent of the Variola inferiore was forbidden, because in the course of a controlled water supply there was an accident with 2 deaths. Although an ascent is now allowed again (see above), the Variola superiore remains the most attractive alternative.

Approach: North of the road bridge down to the creek.
Tour: Starting in the Trefond, you then come to the Pernaz, in the upper reaches of which the Arodin is crossed. Prohibited in August and from November 1 to April 14. Under a bridge, the wooden sign "CANYON: PRENEZ SENTIER RIVE GAUCHE SUR 500 m" should prompt you to continue along the Trefond (i.e. not on the path over the bridge!) and about 50 m further down the stream, turn left onto a path and walk for 500 m alongside the streambed. It is also easy to connect with nearby Rheby.

Approach: The path with destination of the hut "Tête Ronde" (1160m altitude) begins on the orographic. right bank of the stream and is marked with red arrows. It goes up in many serpentines. At 810m altitude the path crosses the stream. Here you can enter if you want to walk only the more interesting lower part. Otherwise, it continues upwards until 1100m altitude. Then we leave the path and head north towards the streambed.
Tour: See topographic view, photos and video.

Approach: We take the path that leads south along the orographic left bank of the Saufla (Roc Coupé, Cascade de la Saufla). First relatively flat along, it then goes away from the stream and up in switchbacks. We arrive at an alp. at 1440m. Here we leave the path and continue in a southerly direction across the meadows towards the coppice. Before this we turn right and go straight down to the entry.\n \nIf we were to continue up the path from the alpine pasture, we would come directly to the entry to the lower part of the Saufla Amont (b) - cf. description Saufla Amont.

Continue towards the cable car and Camping du Grand Paradis. After the second stream crossing (this is already the Saufla) we turn left and go directly along the stream (Route de Barme). 650m further on, we turn left onto a forest road. From here another 550m, then we park our car in the hikers' parking lot before the bridge over the Saufla.

Approach: We take the path to the Chalet de Bonavau at 1550m altitude. In the process we cross several times a dirt road that ends at 1440m altitude. From Bonavau we continue up to Pas d'Encel, increasingly steep. At almost 1800m altitude we cross the Saufla on a pedestrian bridge. Between the bridge and the dam wall about 100m away we climb.
Tour: The Saufla Amont is divided into two parts a) and b). The first part - Le Pas d'Encel - is a narrow and incised canyon with a 70m waterfall (Several variants possible: c70; R10,R45,R20; r50,r20) The second part, set back about 200m from the first, is short and limited to a 25m rappel and the Cascade de la Sauffla with a drop of 50m. Between both parts crosses a hiking trail.

Comment: ohne den Verkehr zu behindern
Access: We leave the A12 (fribourg - Vevey) via the Bulle exit, bypass the city to the west and set course for the Jaun pass. At the hamlet of Im Fang we turn right, cross the Jaunbach and head for Schänis. 2.8 km after crossing the stream we come to a hairpin bend to the right and park our car here (for the approach see Google aerial photo in the photo gallery).
Return: Left up to the car in the hairpin bend.

Val Molino (Inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: Directly in front of the parking bay there are numerous signposts on a metal pole, including one to "Colletta". We follow it and in a few minutes we arrive at the bridge over the Torrente Molino on a quasi-horizontal path through vineyards.
Tour: First in open terrain over smaller rappels downhill, then later over somewhat longer rappels down into the Val Porta. In the watery Riale della Porta, the descent to the reservoir is attractive.

Val Molino (Inferiore): Canyon End
Return: To the right up the steep slope with a small climb (if you want to avoid the latter, there are also exits before, read in the book of Nizzola, but not easy to find). We come to a saddle and follow the path to the left uphill. We meet another path and we go up it first to the right, but at the first opportunity we go up again to the left. At the first left-hand bend outside the village of Vogorno we come back to the approach road (well, 550m above sea level). From here on the road or a shortcut footpath in a few minutes up to the car.

Val Molino (Inferiore): Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We go up into the Verzasca Valley until Vogorno (495m above sea level). There we take the narrow road up to Costapiana. About 50 m after the second (outside the village) leftward haipin bend (620m a.s.l.) we park the car on the right in a small parking bay.
Return: To the right up the steep slope with a small climb (if you want to avoid the latter, there are also exits before, read in the book of Nizzola, but not easy to find). We come to a saddle and follow the path to the left uphill. We meet another path and we go up it first to the right, but at the first opportunity we go up again to the left. At the first left-hand bend outside the village of Vogorno we come back to the approach road (well, 550m above sea level). From here on the road or a shortcut footpath in a few minutes up to the car.

Crealla (superiore): Canyon Start
2024-06-09: Extremely slippery, long walking passages. Often only one anchor point, but good quality. Took 5 hours for superiore and inferiore with 95 meters of ropes.
Approach: From the car we take the mule track that goes up to the houses of Doro (730m altitude). There we stop at a junction where it would go left to the stream and the entry to the lower part, up to the right. At about 1000m altitude we arrive at the houses of Lavé. The path now bends to the west and soon it crosses the stream (entry). According to the map material available to me, there are indications that this is an orographic left side stream of the Crealla.
Tour: About 17 rappels, some possible jumps, then you come to the bridge where the entry to the lower part is (700m altitude). Here you can finish the upper part and get off. Alternatively, you can continue to the next bridge (about 500m altitude). A further descent is equivalent to an integral ascent.

Crealla (superiore): Canyon End
2024-06-09: Extremely slippery, long walking passages. Often only one anchor point, but good quality. Took 5 hours for superiore and inferiore with 95 meters of ropes.
Return: In both cases (exit at 700m or 500m altitude) the path leads down to the left to the village of Crealla.

Crealla (superiore): Parking Entry and Exit
2024-06-09: Extremely slippery, long walking passages. Often only one anchor point, but good quality. Took 5 hours for superiore and inferiore with 95 meters of ropes.
Access: From Cannobio on Lake Maggiore up the valley of the Cannobino for 9km in the direction of Malesco, Domodossola. In the hamlet of Ponte Falmenta park a car for the exit, if you plan to climb the Tegral. Otherwise, go straight up, past the houses of Falmenta, to the large parking lot in front of the village of Crealla. Park here.
Return: In both cases (exit at 700m or 500m altitude) the path leads down to the left to the village of Crealla.

Straningbach (unterer): Canyon Start
Approach: Before the bridge, descend left to reach the stream immediately above the first downclimb.\n \nIntermediate entry: Follow the forest road about 1km into the valley, entry when a huge scree barrier becomes visible in the streambed - here steeply downclimb into the streambed. First rappel stand orographic left at the WIldbachverbauung.
Tour: The upper part rarely creates a canyon atmosphere due to its forested slopes, but surprises with a multitude of deep and large basins in the dark slate limestone. Some passages are more reminiscent of granite canyons than of a canyon in the limestone Alps. Many downclimb passages that are easily doable due to rough and well graded rock. Two forest road bridges where the tour can be broken off. The upper part ends at a huge boulder dam. Here either leave the canyon to the left or continue the tour from the rappel stand left under the edge. This part is in my opinion the most rewarding tour in the Gailtal. Duration for the upper part: 3h\n \nThe lower part is also still rewarding but the rock is a bit more slippery and tree and block passages are more. At the last rappel, be sure to set up a hand rope to the belay - the anchors for the last 30m rappel are located on the right in the angle above the waterfall.

Straningbach (unterer): Parking at Exit
Comment: Ausstiegsparkplatz an Forststrassenkreuzung
Access: On the B111 through the Gailtal valley to Kirchbach. Here turn off to Döbernitzen until the bridge over the Stranigbach.\n\nParking exit:\nEIn a few hundred meters after the bridge, a forest road branches off to the left, follow this for about a KM until you can park the car in the area of a forest road junction .\n \nParking entry:\nDrive through Stranig and at the end of the village turn right towards Stranigalm. Follow the sand road over many bends uphill until you cross the Stranigbach stream already in the alpine pasture area. Before the bridge there is a large parking area. Follow the road towards the alpine pasture until you reach a sharp rightward haipin bend at 890m sh., just after this there is another forest road on the right, park here. If you see a free meadow area with a farmstead below, you have gone too far.
Return: Descend/downclimb through the streambed - the torrent obstructions can be bypassed on climbing tracks. When the valley opens, turn left onto a forest road and at the first junction turn left back to the parking lot.

Approach: Cross the bridge and follow the marked trail past the highway parking lot. In the area of the Cadramazzo ruins, turn left up to the bike path and immediately after follow the 619 markings further uphill. Pass the entry of the lower Rio Cadramazzo and continue into a small notch with a view of the canyon of the upper Rio Cadramazzo. Continue climbing until you reach a World War I tunnel and from there cross more flatly into the valley of the Rio Livinal. After crossing a side stream, the path crosses high above the narrow gorge of the Rio Livinal - Above this gorge, descend steeply into the streambed.

Rio Rondolon: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the partially slippery path 640 for about 100m to Torrente Dogna. Wade through the stream (the bridge was washed away in 2007) and climb up the other bank with many hairpin bends to just below a ruined house. At the penultimate haipin bend before the ruins, take a path to the left which you follow. This is the abandoned path 651 which you follow to the streambed of the Rio Rondolon (last short root climb). Ascend briefly in the streambed until you see a higher waterfall, here leave the streambed to the left to reach a path running above (markings). Follow the path to the bottom of the valley where it runs above the low gorges of the Rio Rondolon. Always ascend alongside the canyon until you see a rock face further up, keep left here and ascend briefly across until you reach a dry streambed. Either ascend in the dry streambed (easy but slippery climbing passages) or keep right up the steep forest slope until you reach flatter terrain. Keeping mostly pathless, ascend slightly to the left to an inconspicuous saddle and on the other side descend very steeply through two gravel gullies (the last of which is an ancient wire rope) into the streambed of the Rio Rondolon.
Tour: Downclimb between large boulders until you reach the first abseil point. * 8m rappel from anchor left, then downclimb left, the last step can also be jumped. * Downclimb * 13m rappel from anchor right * 2m jump into shallow pool * 5m jump into narrow pool or rappel from jammed tree trunk (sling) * 8m rappel through waterfall from anchor right * Downclimbing and hiking, a steeper, brittle passage can be rappelled from a tree on the left * 3m jump, a low gorge begins * 8m rappel from tree left or downclimb left * Downclimb and small slides * 9m rappel from tree with sling left * 3m slide * 14m rappel from tree with sling right * downclimb and small slides to the exit of the low gorge * 300m hiking and small jumps * 5m jump into a nice pool, then immediately * 20m rappel from anchors in the middle of the stream, you can jump from several ledges into the small but deep pool * 300m hiking and downclimbing, you reach the ascent route * 12m rappel from anchors on the left, possibly jump/slideable * 10m rappel from tree with sling left * 4m downclimb right * 2m jump * 200m downclimb and hiking to the streambed of the Rio Dogna, hike another 300m through the streambed until you reach the remains of the bridge from the ascent route.

Approach: We now take the cable car up the mountain. The cable car is in operation from May 15th to October 15th from 07.30 am. Phone contact via +41(0)794483851. At the top (1585m altitude) we take the Wen to the houses of Grasplon (1630m altitude) and on to the hamlet of Hütten (1780m altitude). At an altitude of 1860m, the hiking trail forks and we keep left down to the stream (entry).
Tour: In the open streambed we descend to an altitude of 1650m; then the canyoning descent begins with downclimbs, slides and rappels. Around 65 rappels await us, no rappel higher than 30m. Only in the upper section are 2 emergency exits open. It is not always possible to avoid rappels in the beam. Towards the exit of the tour, however, you will often find alternative options (next to or in the beam). Before a bridge, we exit to the right onto a path.

Comment: vom Steig senkrecht in das Bachbett abseilen
Approach: From the ravine we take a path that leads up in a westerly direction to a forest road, which we follow in a southerly direction to a water reservoir. Then we follow a trail that first runs toward the canyon, then moves upstream along its orographic left high bank. Before the trail and the river make a 90 degree bend to the south, we rope down from a tree about 20m into the canyon (see map sketch in photo gallery). From the alternative parking lot, go up the road in a northerly direction. After about 100m turn left from the road at a sharp angle onto a narrow road that leads to a water reservoir. Behind the reservoir begins a path that goes into the canyon. The path is now carved into the vertical rock face. We now look for an anchor on the right side of the wall at head height, from which we can rope about 15m into the streambed directly above the masonry step (alternatively from a tree).
Tour: A few rappels in an attractive ambience await us. Many passages are mastered by climbing down. Emergency exits would be searched in vain. Exit at the dam wall to the left. see photo album and video

2024-10-12: Very nice water level at the moment. Unfortunately none of the pools are deep.
Approach: Once in Bargis (1550m altitude), we follow the road over the Turnigla bridge and then take the dirt road up to the right. At an altitude of 1870m, the trail crosses to the western side of the stream (entry to the lower parts) and climbs up to an altitude of 2000m. Here the path leads back to the eastern side of the stream (entry to the middle part) to an alpine pasture. For entry to the upper part, continue uphill on the orographic left slope of the Turnigla. At an altitude of 2130m at the latest (possibly even further down) we then enter the upper part.
Tour: Small rappels and downclimbs in a canyon that is not very deep. In the third part, the stream then notches deeper and we come across parts where the canyon is briefly "capped". Where the gorge exits, we climb out to the right above a path.

Access: From Chur we drive via Trins-Mulins to Flims. At the beginning of the village we take the road on the right up towards Fidaz and Bargis. After passing Fidaz, we come to a large parking lot where we park our car (1245 m altitude) and continue up to Bargis either by bus, by bike or on foot (about 1 hour).
Return: We follow the tracks downhill and quickly reach Bargis.

Saxetbach (oberer): Canyon Start
2024-08-09: All anchors in good order. Very slippery in places.
2023-08-19: All hooks ok. C20 and C30 are now double drilled. The water pressure at the C20 was already quite strong. All other rappels were no problem at this water level. Water level, see pictures.
Approach: We continue along the road and after 350m we come to a place where a road branches off to the right. We follow it, after the long right turn we take the hiking trail up to the left and at the top we meet the road again. It brings us immediately to a farm. Here we now walk about 100m along the path to the east, directly towards the streambed. Shortly before reaching the streambed, take the grassed dirt road to the left and follow it for about 150m until you reach the bank of the Saxetbach (entry).
Tour: After a few meters in the open streambed, the canyon begins. Already the second waterfall (C20) can be unpleasant even with average water flow in midsummer, because rappel in the stream can not be avoided. A C15, a C30 and finally a C18 follow. Then the descent is already over and we leave the streambed to the left onto the road.

Access: We leave the A8 coming from Bern at Interlaken via exit 25 - Wilderswil. We drive south, through Wilderswil and up to Saxeten. A few meters before the village we cross the Saxetbach in a right turn. Before or after the bridge we can park our car on the right side of the road.
Return: Exit to the left with fixed ropes, then the path back to the bridge.

Grimsel: Canyon Start
2025-08-24: Everything OK, freshly rinsed 2 weeks ago
2025-08-09: Water completely cloudy from sediment. Some slippery spots. All installations in good condition. The canyon is heavily used commercially.
2025-07-06: Short pleasure but good for practicing. Can be done several times as it's only a 10-minute access on foot.
Approach: From the parking lot, cross the road in the direction of the old road bridge. From there a narrow path leads up to the bend with the upper parking possibility. Recommendation would be if necessary to shutteln only the material and konditionswache and to park all vehicles below, because the parking possibility in the bend is not large and not optimal. From there you follow the road to the east until you find after about 200m on the right the abseiling point over the slab wall down into the Aare.
Tour: First the entry from the road over the gneiss slabs down into the riverbed. Then walking, downclimb, some jump and slide possibilities. Key points: "hole" and "block jump". Shortly before the exit there is a zipline (steel rope). By means of tandem, pulley or steel carabiner you can go up to over the pool and thus avoid the also possible risky technical jump.

Access: Either from the direction of Bern, Interlaken or from the direction of Lucerne, Sarnen to Meiringen in the Aare valley. From here we take the road to the Grimsel Pass. After about 14 km (from Meiringen) we pass through the village of Guttannen. 4.9 km further on we pass the entrance to the E-Werk (with compressed air drill monument). From here it is another 2 km to the bridge over the Aare, where the exit from the canyon is. Parking spaces can be found a good 70m before on the left. It is recommended to use the parking spaces on the left side of the road.
Return: After the road bridges left out to the car.

Rio Della Forchia: Canyon Start
Approach: Descend into the streambed
Tour: Small jumps and downclimbs, 3 rappels - 20m from anchor left, 10m from anchor right and 18m from anchor right.

Rio Della Forchia: Canyon End
Return: Cross the streambed until you reach the destroyed bridge of trail 640 and follow it to the parking lot. You could also try to find the dashed path in the tabacco map that leads from the exit of the canyons to Chiout.

Latterbach: Canyon Start
Approach: After the left turn we continue on the road. It describes a right turn and we dive into the forest. At the next leftward haipin bend (940m altitude) we take the trail that leaves in a northeasterly direction. After about 400 meters of trail, the path swings half-left into the slope above the canyons. Here we go straight on indistinct tracks and thus reach the stream at 1030m altitude (entry E).
Tour: First 3 smaller rappel, then a double step with 25m and 32m. Finally, 3 smaller steps follow. If there is deadwood in the abseil channels or at their base, the resulting hazard potential increases disproportionately with increasing water flow.

Latterbach: Canyon End
Return: After opening the canyon, exit to the right onto the path, descend it to the cross-country ski trail and turn right on it to the car.

Ual Ault Vorab: Canyon Start
2024-09-29: Very nice alternative in early fall, when the water level is too high for other tours in the area.
Approach: From the inn we go down again a few meters on the approach road and then turn right (1940m altitude) on a slope that leads us via Alpe Mughels (2000m altitude) to another alp on Sogn Martin. There the exit ends (1985m altitude). We now take a trail that goes up the slope in a northwesterly direction. At about 2110m altitude, we leave the path and keep going in an exactly westerly direction towards "our" stream, which we reach at 2170m altitude. Here it is easy to climb into the creek and we deposit here at least the ropes for the 46m rappel. Until then, a 20m rope is sufficient. Also the backpacks should be packed here and possibly reduced so that the many narrow passages can be mastered without major problems. Thus "relieved" we climb now on the orographic left edge of the canyon upwards. We cross a hiking trail (2230m altitude) and further up we meet a hiking trail that crosses the stream to the left here (2320m altitude). Above the bridge we enter the gravel bed of the stream, where then also immediately begins the gorge.
Tour: We pinch off through narrow chutes, squeeze through rock crevices following the meanders of the stream and crawl under rock arches. Where we meet our rope depot, the descent becomes more attractive, but also more technically demanding. Below the 46m rappel, a series of smaller steps awaits us until the tour ends at the confluence with the Ual Draus.

Ual Ault Vorab: Canyon End
2024-09-29: Very nice alternative in early fall, when the water level is too high for other tours in the area.
Return: We follow the Ual Draus downstream and after a good 20 minutes we come across a path that has just crossed the stream. We go first in the direction of ONO, stay left at a junction and come up to the alp where we reached the exit of the slope during the approach (1985m altitude). From here on the approach path back to the shuttle bus stop Alp Nagens.

Approach: From parking lot P (at the Feissibach) we take the slope along the stream upwards. It ends in the streambed below the final waterfalls. Further on, a path leads steeply up in serpentines. It joins a trail coming from the right and now goes directly towards the creek and the canyon. There (about 100 meters after this crossroads), where it makes a hairpin bend to the right (840m altitude), we leave the path and climb directly about 30m up the canyon rim (orange markings on the trees). We come to a tree adorned with a cross in orange. From here we rope into the canyon (about 15m) - "E2".
Tour: Barely interrupted sequence of waterfalls in beautifully washed out rock, a total of about 10 rappels, several of them over 2 steps.

2023-04-08: Was walked and renovated by us. The path to Sfonderat is when you leave the 640 path very slippery through the beech leaves and quite exposed (see pictures). The path no longer leads directly into the...
Approach: Follow the partially slipped path 640 for about 100m to Torrente Dogna. Wade through the stream (the bridge was washed away in 2007) and climb up the other bank with many hairpin bends to a ruined house. Here, continue uphill along path 640 through beautiful beech woods. When the path makes a hairpin bend to the left (markings and arrows) follow the very indistinct trail straight ahead. At first steeply then only slightly ascending you cross high above the gorge. Soon you reach a dry streambed, the path disappears completely here. Continue climbing until you reach a forest saddle above the gorge, from here the path is clearly visible again. Continue traversing until you reach a streambed that usually carries water, cross the streambed and descend along the rock face (last wire rope). Once in the streambed, climb down for about 15min until you are above the first rappel point.
Tour: Sequence: * 15m rappel, sling right (watch out for the clamping block in the middle of the waterfall) * Hiking route * 4m rappel, anchor right * 3m slide * longer hiking passage with many downclimbs in a narrow but sunny environment * 10m rappel, wedged tree trunk on the right * 100m downclimb and slide * nice 6m slide/jump, start of a gorge * 12m rappel, anchor left * 20m rappel over two waterfalls, anchor on boulder in the middle * 6m rappel, anchor top left * 2m slide, exit of the gorge * 300m hiking and slides in beautiful surroundings until crossing the hiking trail 651 (emergency exit) * Below the hiking trail begins a beautifully washed-out mini gorge with slides and jumps up to 4m * 200m hiking and downclimbing in an open streambed * 30m rappel, 2 anchors left in clamping block * 4m jump, repeatable * 10m jump or rappel left of tree - do not rappel from anchors on the right, the rock below the edge is extremely brittle!

Rio Terrarossa (inferiore): Canyon Start
2024-08-03: Have marked the path with blue dots to make access more obvious. All stands ok
2024-06-01: All pitches ok so far (Edelrid Armid sling at C35 new), as always in spring some fat nests of caterpillars
Approach: From the parking lot at the small group of houses, hiking trail 602 now leads up into the forest slightly above the road. Follow the path past a material ropeway support and a ruin with hiking markings up to the rock face. From here, the path was marked with blue markings in August 2024 to make it easier to find your way. Here, a metal footbridge leads over an exposed section. Then you come to a junction where you leave the main path on the right. From here, follow the not always easily visible water catchment path with little difference in altitude to the first open (mostly dry) streambed. Please note that this is not yet the main stream. On the other side of the stream you will find a steep chute near the smaller trees, which does not take long but is a little difficult to climb. This is followed by a short exposed traverse with a beautiful view of the valley. Be careful, do not continue up the open ridge but follow the path (see cord markings on the tree) slightly downhill to the main stream below the large rock face. Entry at approx. 830m.
Tour: The Rio Terra Rossa is a short open and south-facing rappel canyon with mostly little water. There are only a few downclimbs/walking passages between the downclimbs. Before a short narrow section with a wire rope railing, there is a possible emergency exit on the left. Here you rappel 5m into the narrow section. Shortly afterwards there is a 3m rappel step (if necessary, rappel both steps together). After the narrow section, the canyon opens up and you are faced with a 20m step with a sharp edge (new belay on the left outside the water flow). This is followed by two shorter abseiling steps before you reach the beautiful 3-meter final cascade (20m/35m/25m). The belays here are somewhat exposed. After the last 25m waterfall, you stand in the gravel water drainage basin at approx. 620m. From here it is about 20 minutes to the road. First turn right at the wall and then descend on the left side of the stream via a helpful wire rope. The rest of the route runs briefly along the streambed before turning right onto the power station path. This takes you comfortably to the road bridge/shuttle car.

Access: Coming from Tarvisio, you can either take the SS13 (Kanaltal Bundestraße) to the village of Dogna or the highway (exit Pontebba) + a few km. Federal highway. In the village of Dogna, follow the signs/road over the Fella towards the Dogna Valley. Immediately after the bridge over the Fella, there is a large gravel parking place (wood storage area) on the right. Here you follow the road further into the valley through the small tunnel to the village of Roncheschin. The water level can be checked at the bridge with a small hydroelectric power house that crosses the Rio Terra Rossa (if the water comes over the entire width of the last artificial step, it is not advisable to walk here). After the check, turn right (before the "Chiutdipupe" sign) and drive to the group of houses near Torrente Dognas, where you can park the first car. Take the second car back towards Dogna and turn right just before the Fella bridge. After 3-4 houses, turn right again towards "Chiout Pupin". Follow the steep asphalted mountain road to the exit (you need some ground clearance due to the depth of the water gullies). At the exit of the road at Chiout Pupin there are only limited parking facilities (be considerate of the locals!) Vehicle transfer approx. 3km.
Return: Just before the road/bridge you get out of the creek on the left. Then follow the road briefly down to the shuttle car at the Dogna stream .

Comment: D 2 (depart la partie 2) (descente)
Approach: From the exit of the mountain station we first walk about 40m in a northerly direction, then the wide path swings to the NE, we walk past a house located to the north of the path and continue to follow the path, which now swings to the OSE. About 100m further we meet the path coming up from the valley station. Here (2035m a.s.l.) it is decided whether to take the entry to the 2nd part or only to the 3rd part. If one wants to enter to the 2nd part, one leaves the said path after a few meters and follows the inconspicuous path that descends in the hollow on the left towards NW. The path becomes clearer, circles a ridge and then keeps heading SW towards the stream. Cross the stream, which is not incised here, and follow the path on the far bank, which keeps almost parallel to the streambed but is essentially horizontal. After a prominent boulder, you then go down to the right, i.e. in a northerly direction, into the streambed, which you reach immediately at the first rappel (1925m a.s.l.). If you want to limit the ascent to the actual canyon and enter directly at the beginning of the 3rd part, follow the path in the direction of Gsteig and the valley station further down.it runs parallel to the slope for quite a while, but then rapidly reduces height in many serpentines. At the exit of the serpentine section (at about 1870m above sea level), the path begins to describe a long right-hand bend. At about 1830m a.s.l. the path starts to walk downhill again in many serpentines. At this point (1830m a.s.l.) we leave this path and continue straight ahead in direction WNW. Our new path walks below the steep slope (Fluh), moves, partly a bit exposed ,around a Gländenase and leads us over a pasture area to the hut with the name Brapire (sheep pen). We follow the path past the hut for a few meters, but then turn off from it in the direction of SW and walk without a path on sight down to the stream. Downstream you can already see the beginning of the gorge (1780m a.s.l.). To the Brapire hut and thus to the beginning of the 3rd part you can also climb directly from the valley station over the footbridge at the end of the canyon. The corresponding route description can be found in the book "Canyoning Tours Switzerland" by Brunner/Bétrisey, Tour 18, page 142. This means that only the 3rd part is described in more detail in this book.
Tour: In the 2 parts at the beginning usually no or only low water flow. Nevertheless, possible jumps into deep pools. In the big mess after the rappels in the 1st part, a powerful karst spring rises at the left foot of the slope, which brings correspondingly cold water into the stream. The canyon proper is the 3rd part. Here, too, there are jumps and slides. At the end of the gorge at the wooden hut under the wall on the left exit possibility, but the further descent to the railingless footbridge is recommended.

Approach: From the exit of the mountain station we first walk about 40m in a northerly direction, then the wide path swings to the NE, we walk past a house located to the north of the path and continue to follow the path, which now swings to the OSE. About 100m further we meet the path coming up from the valley station. Here (2035m a.s.l.) it is decided whether to take the entry to the 2nd part or only to the 3rd part. If one wants to enter to the 2nd part, one leaves the said path after a few meters and follows the inconspicuous path that descends in the hollow on the left towards NW. The path becomes clearer, circles a ridge and then keeps heading SW towards the stream. Cross the stream, which is not incised here, and follow the path on the far bank, which keeps almost parallel to the streambed but is essentially horizontal. After a prominent boulder, you then go down to the right, i.e. in a northerly direction, into the streambed, which you reach immediately at the first rappel (1925m a.s.l.). If you want to limit the ascent to the actual canyon and enter directly at the beginning of the 3rd part, follow the path in the direction of Gsteig and the valley station further down.it runs parallel to the slope for quite a while, but then rapidly reduces height in many serpentines. At the exit of the serpentine section (at about 1870m above sea level), the path begins to describe a long right-hand bend. At about 1830m a.s.l. the path starts to walk downhill again in many serpentines. At this point (1830m a.s.l.) we leave this path and continue straight ahead in direction WNW. Our new path walks below the steep slope (Fluh), moves, partly a bit exposed ,around a Gländenase and leads us over a pasture area to the hut with the name Brapire (sheep pen). We follow the path past the hut for a few meters, but then turn off from it in the direction of SW and walk without a path on sight down to the stream. Downstream you can already see the beginning of the gorge (1780m a.s.l.). To the Brapire hut and thus to the beginning of the 3rd part you can also climb directly from the valley station over the footbridge at the end of the canyon. The corresponding route description can be found in the book "Canyoning Tours Switzerland" by Brunner/Bétrisey, Tour 18, page 142. This means that only the 3rd part is described in more detail in this book.
Tour: In the 2 parts at the beginning usually no or only low water flow. Nevertheless, possible jumps into deep pools. In the big mess after the rappels in the 1st part, a powerful karst spring rises at the left foot of the slope, which brings correspondingly cold water into the stream. The canyon proper is the 3rd part. Here, too, there are jumps and slides. At the end of the gorge at the wooden hut under the wall on the left exit possibility, but the further descent to the railingless footbridge is recommended.

Sanetsch: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: parking telepherique (descente)
Access: Access from the Saanen valley (Gstaad): From Gstaad/Saanen we drive about 11 km in southern direction to Gsteig. Approximately in the center of the village we follow the signpost to the Sanetsch cable car and turn half-left into the Innergsteigstraße/the Wallisgässli. After 1.6 km from here we reach the valley station of the cable car (Innergsteig) and park our car here. The cable car now takes us up to the top station in a little more than 10 minutes. The cabin offers 6 seats and runs during the season (second half of June until about mid-October) "as needed", a maximum of five times per hour. In 2015, the price for the uphill ride was 15 CHF. For pensioners - like me - the price is reduced, although no corresponding notice was ascertainable. Access from the Rhone Valley: From Sion/Sitten, a post bus runs up to the Sanetschsee (2033m above sea level). The road is relatively narrow already in the lower part. With your own car it is better to take the road from Conthey (south of Sion) via Erde and Daillon. After Daillon you meet the road coming up from Sion (1030m above sea level - 10.5 km from Conthey here). The road continues on mostly one lane, in between through a 800m long tunnel up to the Col du Sanetsch (2251m a.s.l. - 26 km from Conthey) and beyond down to the Sanetsch lake (Lac de Sénin), at the exit of which one parks the car a bit above the lake at the Auberge du Sanetsch (31.5 km from Conthey). From here you can see the top station of the cable car to the NE, where the access begins.
Return: At the wooden footbridge without railings (1595m a.s.l.) we climb out to the right onto the path, which first leads us slightly uphill along the wall out of the cut in the terrain and then steeply downhill. You then meet the path that goes up from the valley station to the Sanetschsee lake. Follow this downhill to the valley station.\n

Approach: We cross the Saane and follow the hiking trail to the castle falls. After a good 700 meters of trail we arrive at our later exit point (1250m altitude). We continue our ascent along the stream. Several times it is crossed and allows us to assess the water flow. You can now enter at about 1400m altitude (above the 4th creek crossing, before the trail leaves the creek) - so Swiss Alps - Canyoning - Alpes Suisses. Emmanuel Belut - Laurence Boyé - Thomas Guigon, 2015 or one continues to climb un'd traverses after emerging from the forest in the direction NNO again towards the stream, where one then enters at 1450m altitude - so http://www.swestcanyon.ch/Canyons/Burgfalle/Burgfalle.htm
Tour: Sequence of about 15 rappels (from the top), which continuously follow each other. At an altitude of 1250m exit to the approach path.

Pez Grisch: Canyon Start
Approach: We take the slope in northwestern direction uphill. After 1100m, a track on the left goes off, after 2400m we are at the entry E2 (2365m altitude). If we want to enter at E1, we continue on the slope until a side slope turns off to the right. Follow it over the first stream to the entry E1 (2445m altitude).
Tour: Not very deep canyon, a narrow section follows the previous one. From E2 then the more interesting section. Sometimes the view to the sky is blocked. Finally, the canyon dives completely underground. Here we get off. For Caver here would be an activity field.

Approach: Beyond the bridge the hiking trail begins. After about 35 minutes we come across a road again, walk on it for about 200m to the left and then follow the path uphill again.\n\nIf we want to walk only the lower - more interesting - part, we continue on the road to the left to the bridge and get on there.\n\nIf we continue climbing, however, we come across a road again. Turning left, we come to two bridges. At the second (northwestern) bridge we get on (E).
Tour: In the first part, 8-10 rappels and a longer walk to the first road bridge await us. Then another longer walk and downclimb before reaching the most interesting part, a vertical with 5-7 rappel. After another vertical gorge part (8m-25m-12m) we descend in the stream to the road bridge.

Approach: From the parking lot, walk along the road for about 250m until you find the beginning of a barely visible path (46.526884°, 13.248222°). the path becomes more visible with increasing altitude and leads up the orographic left side of the canyon. After 300m you come across old wall remains behind which you can descend into the streambed.
Tour: After two approx. 10m rappels you stand in front of the 60m Z-waterfall. If the water flow is too high, this waterfall could cause problems. Attention when taking off the rope! Another 5 rappelling routes up to 25m alternate with short walking passages, before you rappel in front of a 55m rappelling routes (2 rings on the right), far away from the water in the dry. This place is very fragile! After a small climbing passage, one finds a suction point for a water supply. This last double waterfall rappel from the left inlet.

Tour: Initially relatively open, repeated runs and downclimb. A more vertical part after two side tributaries leads to another run. Up to here 5 rappels, regularly over several steps.\nThen the gorge develops into depth, another 10-12 rappels before the gorge ends. Then some downclimb until we finally reach the wide gravel bed.

This downhill on the right slope of the stream. Before the narrowing and the 32m high slide brake we climb back into the streambed. After rappelling over the slide brake, 4 more small rappels await us in the impressive gorge. Afterwards we walk about 50m in the off.

Approach: We take the hiking trail to Engelhornhütte. At 1487m altitude we cross the Rosenlauischlucht to its orographic. right canyon rim. The trail walks towards a large rock where we then enter the canyon.
Tour: From a tree we rope from the canyon rim into the streambed, which is still wide here. Then the rappels begin, 12 in all. Deeper and deeper the streambed digs itself in. At the same time, the canyon becomes darker. It ends with a 28m waterfall. In the now again wide streambed downward, to the next streambed confluence from the left, before the right bend of our stream (see photos and videos).

We now drive in the direction of the Grimsel Pass and after a good 2 km turn right onto the Scheidegg road to Rosenlaui in the Reichenbach valley. After the hamlet of Zwirgi we have to "feed" a toll machine. We continue to the Hotel Rosenlaui and park our car about 300m further on in the parking lot for the tourist walk in the Rosenlaui Gorge (1360m altitude - see approach in photo gallery).

Schwarze Lütschine: Canyon Start
2022-12-03: The access is definitely part of the adventure, almost more difficult than the canyon itself.
Approach: First down the little road "Im Brand" in eastern direction, then over the Briggbach and on the hiking trail towards Schwarze Lütschine. Up the wooden steps we come to the restaurant (1375m altitude). From here we continue in southeastern direction to the canyon rim. Here you have the possibility to rope directly into the canyon (approx. 50m). Alternatively, cross the canyon on the steel ropes (for the bridge suspended here in summer) (pulley - 12mm - useful). and climb up the other side, as far as the glacier has cleared the stream.
Tour: At the beginning only a little cut brings us a C15 deeper down. The next drop brings us then in 2 steps or directly over 20m further down. Later a C18 and at the exit a C10 with some smaller steps for downclimbing. Again in the open gravel bed we have reached the exit of the tour.

2024-04-06: Went up the Rio Bianco today. Drilled some new rings and replaced old slings. It was very nice, the canyon should be climbed after long periods of rain because otherwise it is dry.
Approach: At the parking lot, the marked path 620 begins, which initially leads through the streets of the village, then along a forest road to a spring before climbing steeply in the forest. On the right, you can see the gulch of Rio Sbrici before the path turns less steeply to the left towards the west. After a long traverse you reach the two headwaters of the Rio Bianco. Currently, only the right (eastern) branch is drilled.
Tour: 17 abseil stands, some very exposed, especially at the two high waterfalls. Pulling off the rope can be a problem here. Although the highest ropes can be overcome with a 60m rope, it is advisable to have at least one longer rope with you to make it easier to pull off. Sequence: * C 22m: Tree with sling on the left * C 40m: anchor on the right * Left branch of the gorge leads in * D 5m * C 38m: Tree with sling right * D 5m -125m high waterfall over three belays * C 10m: tree with sling on the left, the stream must be crossed to reach the chain on the right side 2m below the edge. * C 60m: chain on the right (space for max. 2 people) * C 60m: 2 anchors on a small ledge on the right, space for max. 4 people * C 35m from tree or left wide bypass through a scree gully * Downclimb to the right until you reach Seitenbach. Very laborious emergency exit possible to the right (initially on game tracks or pathless, until you reach an old path that is only marked in OSM). Walk 50m until the canyon narrows * C 8m: anchor with sling on the right * D 5m * C 15m: anchor with sling on top right * D 5m (smooth slide, downclimb not easy) * Walk 50m * D 3m * canyon briefly open, walk 50m * C 18m: tree with sling on the left * C 20m: anchor left or rappel around stone (middle) over several pools -70m waterfall in two stands * C 25m: Anchor left, space for 4 people * C 45m: anchor on tiny ledge on the left, directly above the large waterfall, space for max. 2 people * 100m walk and downclimb, escape option on good but exposed path on the left * C 33m: tree with sling on the left * D 8m: slide under clamping block * D 15m: anchor left * D 10m: anchor right * Walk 200m to Rio Patoc

Eilegger Graben: Canyon Start
Approach: We walk along the road to the bridge over the Brandenberger Ache (at the lower exit of the Kaiserklamm gorge). A few meters beyond the bridge, a path leads off to the left, which takes us up to a forest road. On this 450m to the right (east) we come to another slope. Turn left (west) and then head north. We ignore the turn-offs to the Brandalm (left) and the Breitenbachalm (right) and cross the Breitenbach. A few hundred meters further on, the forest path bends in an easterly direction and walks towards the Eilegger ditch. At the bottom, past a hunting lodge, we come to the bridge (entry).
Tour: At the beginning, many smaller steps, mostly for downclimbing. Then the 60m diagonal rope. Then again smaller drops until, at about 850m, the Weißgriesgraben enters from the right. Then the smaller steps continue until the gorge widens. At the bridge we get off onto the forest road.

Eilegger Graben: Canyon End
Return: We now wade across the Brandenburger Ache and follow the path on its orographic right bank through the Kaiserklamm gorge to the parking lot at the Kaiserhaus. If the Brandenburger Ache has too much water for a crossing, we can alternatively go upstream on its orographic right bank to the Trauersteg and cross the river there.

Eilegger Graben: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Park your car at the Kaiserhaus on the Brandenberger Ache (below the Kaiserklamm gorge). You get there from Kramsach first in the direction of the Sonnwendjoch chairlift, then from the parking lot of the valley station along the orographic right bank of the Brandenberger Ache in the direction of Aschau. After the village sign of Aschau, do not drive into the village, but turn right and continue up the Brandenberger Ache until you reach the large parking lot at the Kaiserhaus (14.5 km from Kramsach, see also the approach in the photo gallery on Cwiki). We park the car here.
Return: We now wade across the Brandenburger Ache and follow the path on its orographic right bank through the Kaiserklamm gorge to the parking lot at the Kaiserhaus. If the Brandenburger Ache has too much water for a crossing, we can alternatively go upstream on its orographic right bank to the Trauersteg and cross the river there.

2021-11-05: High volume of water but doable. Hooks in good condition, but in one place so extremely icy that we could not use them.
2021-10-30: Difficult undertaking with so much water. One of the 2nd group that went in got stuck more than 2 hours before the Hammer Mental. A rucksack was also lost.
2016-12-09: Low water level for this stream. Many tree obstacles in the high waterfall, otherwise everything perfect
Approach: Descend into the streambed above the bridge.
Tour: Rappel right from a tree with a sling, cross the pool and climb left to the next anchor. Rappel 12m and carefully pass the tree trunk to reach the next 14m rappel. After short walking passages the canyon opens for a moment before a 35m rappel into the dark cathedral. Intermediate position possible after 25m on the right. In December 2016, here were many tree trunks that were thrown into the gorge during forestry work. The next rappel can be rappelled from the left or from the right. Climbing to the right anchor is technically difficult (V+). Another 12m rappel brings you back out into the open. The anchor for the 27m high Pochtenfall is located behind the right edge and is reached by a wide straddle step. After a short walking passages follows the short second gorge with two low rappels and a waterfall from the left. Walk 100m before the last gorge section of the Hexenkessel begins. After the bridge, jump 3m or go around to the left, then carefully downclimb to the downclimb anchor on the right above a 5m step. Climb the ropes to the right onto the small ledge under the overhang and rappel 18m into the pool under the Hexenkessel. From now on only downclimb and jump in a beautiful gorge.

Comment: Rechter Ast
Approach: Follow the road as far as a snack station, from here cross an alpine path through steep terrain to the flat Gamchiboden. The rest of the ascent crosses rocky terrain and is secured with wire ropes in places. At around 2000m, the hiking trail climbs to the left to reach the glacier meadows above. Here, branch off to the right onto a very unclear path that crosses the crumbly slope directly to the entry (cairns). If you want to walk the main branch of the gorge, you can enter at the first gorge about 90m above the bridge, otherwise walk about 100m to the east to reach the left branch of the gorge. In winter, the bridges over the gorge are dismantled. The access crosses many small watercourses that are completely frozen over in winter. Crampons and ice axes are then necessary.
Tour: Main branch: First downclimb on the orographic right canyon rim just above the beginning of the gorge, then downclimb and rappel in the narrow gorge where the left branch joins (here three rappels). In open terrain with not easy downclimbs to a break above the gorge. From the rock platform on the left 20m rappel, then from the anchor on the right under a large clamping block. The rappel points for the 60m rappel are on the left. If the water level is too high for a direct rappel, there is a difficult to reach intermediate stand after a few meters on the left. From here several rappels in complete darkness before the gorge ends with a long, narrow corridor.

Rug Delle Vacce: Canyon Start
Approach: Over the dam and on the other side of the valley to the bridge over the reservoir. Before crossing the bridge turn right on a barely visible path steeply up a ridge then follow indistinct markings to the bottom of the valley. When a dry streambed flows in from the right, climb up the gravel slope between Meduna and the streambed. The path and the old markings appear only after a few meters of altitude. Follow the clear path (in the past, cows were apparently driven into the valley floor) until you reach Rug delle Vacce.
Tour: Mostly open rappel canyon in bedrock with deep pools. The 70m rappel is done in 4 stages (20,10,30, 6m jump) on the orographic right side. Here you should drill in a new rappelling routes on the left side, because the rope pull down was very tedious. The steps in the following rock channel are not drilled, downclimb to II+.\n\nAfter that beautiful, sunny steps until you meet the Torrente Meduna.

Rug Delle Vacce: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: A23 to Osoppo exit, then via San Daniele, Ragona, Pinzano and Sequals to Meduno. From here head towards Passo Rest. At a dam turn left over the top of the dam and go through Tamarat and Chievolis. After the second village, take a narrow road high above the canyon of Torrente Silisa until you reach the houses of Selva. Here turn right towards Ca Zul. Through two long and narrow tunnels (only one turnout for 3km) with a lot of water from the ceiling until before the dam of Ca Zul, park at the parking lot after the last tunnel.
Return: It is best to descend through the streambed. In places you can also use the abandoned marked path that leads along the right side of the stream. From the bridge, use the access path.

Rio Rivis: Parking Entry and Exit
2025-08-31: After the water level dropped, it was still possible to do this fun vertical rappel canyon! Would be easily accessible even at high water levels! Top anchors and perfectly secured

Comment: Parkplatz bei Rio Rivis
Access: From Chiusaforte, drive into the Raccolana Valley. Approx. 1.2 km after the bridge over the Raccolana stream, there is a large gravel parking place on the right and a power station site on the left. Either park here or better a little further up directly 2m next to the Rivis exit (space for 2 cars with ground clearance + approx. 50m further along the road possibly before the bridge on the right before the barrier again space for 2 cars.
Return: Get off just left of the bridge. Depending on parking possibilities, return to the parking lot.

2025-07-26: Walked at slightly higher water level. All insurances top! Very nice tour when others have too much water. Can be combined well with Rio Costa.
Approach: From the small parking lot right next to the Rivis stream (with the small concrete house in the water) you can judge the amount of water. Continue along the very steep and not always clearly visible path (trail) on the orographic left side, through the forest. After about 20 minutes and a few meters of ascent, you cross over a small rinse to the left and you are already standing directly in the Rivisbach. Entry at 600m. If you want to do the upper part (but it is not interesting), continue up. At a small game feeding station, cross left into the valley of the Rio Rivis (exposed). You reach the bottom of the valley by abseiling twice (1 abseiling point is a narrow gap) - see links + video
Tour: The Rivis is a short, rewarding, open, not too difficult lime canyon that was newly equipped with glued anchors in 2024. As an alternative to the belays, some steps outside the water flow can be rappelled from tree slings. The canyon is a good alternative if other canyons have too much water or simply as a half-day tour. Right at the beginning there is a narrow section with a clamping block under which you rappel. This is followed by several abseils in quick succession. At the highest abseil point (approx. 40m) there is a belay on the left and right, whereby an intermediate belay can be used after 15m on the right. There are also 2 more rappels of 25m and 15m before descending over the last rock steps on the right (alternatively: rappel down short steps via anchors). In the shallow streambed you will soon reach the concrete house and the bridge with the parking lot (approx. 440m).

Approach: Walk along the path above the parking lot towards the river and descend to the large final basin. Check the water flow, then cross the riverbed to the south and hike along the narrow mountain road to the beginning of the trail to Pönt and Valle di Osogna. After the steep climb to Pönt, the trail flattens out and then enters the Valle di Osogna. At the bridge at 839m the entry starts.
Tour: Between C27 and C19 danger of falling rocks. Highlight of the part is the very narrow cut C23. If the water level is too high for tour participants, one must go through and below set up a rope ferry (then at least 35m of rope required, anchors are available).

Croce church --> after about 1.5 km, at km 6.5 (closed from Nov. 1 to April 30), take the narrow road on the right (small group of houses) down to the bridge (entry 1125 m).
Return: The exit on the right leads through the loose forest floor to the open meadow and the inn (shuttle car) (740Hm).

Papuos: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the road on the orographic right side of the stream uphill. Then there are 2 ways to get to the entry point, see Internet sites. We took the path on the orographic left side of the stream and climbed up the streambed from the old concrete footbridge (1 hour each way). Before the first high rappel (Chorrero de la Ventera) we climbed the orographic left slope steeply and pathlessly up to the entry. The alternative via the orographic right side of the stream seems a bit more comfortable. See also: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=3405862

Papuos: Canyon End
Return: A little above the concrete footbridge out to the left, then on the orographic left side of the creek back to the car

Gimbach Kaskaden: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the wide path along the stream which then turns into a path and later into a forest road. Shortly after a small bridge, a barely recognizable footpath branches off to the entry.\n\nAlternatively, the route can also be extended by about 30 minutes (canyon) if you first enter at the next bridge (follow the access path for about 7 minutes more).
Tour: The first small waterfall can be bypassed on the left. A small slide follows, a jump into a large pond and again a slide. The next step is also jumped, climbing up on the right to fly a little longer. The next pools are all downclimbed on the left and a small walking passage follows. After two more jumps and a slide you come to the last steps which are bypassed on the right.

Gimbach Kaskaden: Parking at Exit
Comment: Parkplatz ist groß genug für einige Autos, notfalls muss auf die andere Straßenseite ausgewichen werden.%0d%0aAn sonnigen Tagen in den Ferien oder am Wochenende kann Parkplatznot herrschen.
Access: By car on the Westautobahn exit at Regau, just before Bad Ischl a road branches off in the direction of Weißenbach am Attersee. Follow this road until after about 6km you will see a sign on the right side of the road with the inscription "Gimbach-Kaskaden". There is also plenty of parking here.
Return: To the right of the stream, a path leads back to the bridge by the parking lot.

Zarqa Ma'in upper: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the track for 680 m and then cross a generally dry wadi. We continue on the track for another 570 m until we reach the point where the track bends to the south and a clear goat path runs to the left in a southeasterly direction towards the next wadi. We cross this and now look down to the left on a slope descending to Wadi Zarqa Ma'In. 325 m after leaving the track we continue - at first still on the edge of the slope, later crossing into the slope - on sight pathless in a northerly direction down into Wadi Zarqa Ma'In. Cf. "Other maps
Tour: In the wadi we first walk for about 20 min. on level ground, then we come to the first abseil. A smaller rappel is followed by the first 36 m - rappel. Then again some walking and downclimbing, before we arrive at the next rappel (12 m + 35 m). Then it's back to walking until we get past the last interesting passage. After that, only the car is waiting for us. At least at one of the two higher rappels a belaystation is arranged in such a way that one can also rappel down the right side of the rappel. If you plan to do this, it would be advisable to take at least a 50m rope.

Zarqa Ma'in upper: Parking at Exit
Access: From Madaba we drive down the road to the Dead Sea. After 24,9 km (from the beginning of this road in the center of Madaba) we pass the place where we would have to park our car for the access, if we would choose the old access from the orographic right side (100 min. access time, following the remains of a Roman road, see "Other maps"). First, in any case, we first go to the exit to park a car. So we continue downhill and 1.2 km further we come to a road junction to the left (south). We take the branching road that leads down to the thermal bath Hammamat Ma'in. We drive on this road, past the entrance to the thermal bath complex (entrance 15 JD anno 2014) and down to the bridge over the wadi (3.1 km from the turnoff). Here we park the car for the exit. With the second car we continue and drive up the opposite slope. 2.8 km after the bridge we come to a place where a dirt road leaves to the left. Here we park the second car. See "Other maps
Return: Before the rectangular concrete culverts of the bridge out to the right and up to the road. Or still through the concrete culvert and then left up to the road. On the right after the concrete culvert thermal pool.

Klammbach zur Tegernseer Weißach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot we cross the Weißach and follow the forest road on the far bank in the direction of Firstalm (natural toboggan run in winter). After about 2.3 km in the forest we reach the meadows on the plateau (1100m above sea level). About 1.7 km further on the slope and we come to the Königsalm (1115m altitude).\nFrom here we follow the hiking trail in the direction of Geißalm, Wildbad Kreuth. Where this path crosses the Klammbach, we climb.\nIt is also possible to take a shortcut in the last part.To do this, we leave the slope a few meters before the last rightward haipin bend to the left on a former forest path (see onlie map "Topographic view Austria"). Where this leaves the forest and runs through a depression to the SW out into the meadows (on the above map at the end of the dotted line), we stay - pathless - left on the canyon rim and climb at the next opportunity through a ditch down into the Klammbach (entry coordinates here: N 47' 36' 30.03 E 11' 42' 53.30 ).
Tour: Some rappel, in between a lot of rappel. In summer, the water flow disappears in the meantime. Possible jumps.

Klammbach zur Tegernseer Weißach: Canyon End
Return: Where the canyon opens, we take the path on the left slope that leads parallel to the Klammbach down to the Weißbach. Before reaching the Weißbach we come across a forest road. This takes us to the left to the parking lot.

Kluze: Canyon Start
2022-08-21: Not many vertical meters, but the side walls have the vertical meters. Impressive crevasse!
Approach: Access is on the orographic right-hand side of the river, at the cavern. An inconspicuous path leads steeply down into the canyon. At the end there are old, desolate wire rope belays and you can also walk the gorge from the top: Follow the hiking trail towards Fort Hermann through the tunnel and turn right at the junction soon after. At the next signpost, turn right onto a somewhat overgrown path that leads directly to the start of the gorge (there used to be a bridge here).
Tour: Strong currents and turbulent pools alternate in this deep, overwhelming canyon. You should have some whitewater experience and be able to read the current correctly. The pool in front of the jam is potentially dangerous. It is better not to rappel down the 6m waterfall at the exit of the gorge; a long, controlled jump is much safer.

Kluze: Unknown Parking
2022-08-21: Not many vertical meters, but the side walls have the vertical meters. Impressive crevasse!
Access: Over the Predil Pass on the Slovenian side down towards Bovec. 5.5 km after Log Pod Mangartom you reach Fort Kluze. It is easy to park in front of the bridge.
Return: At the exit of the gorge, on the orographic right, a path leads back up to Fort Kluze.

Rappinlaine: Canyon Start
Approach: At the parking lot we take the footbridge over the Kleine Laine and follow the hiking trail (red dot) to the waterfall and further in the direction of Rappinschlucht/Rappinalm. It leads near the Große Laine, first in the forest, up the valley, crosses it after about 40 min. and meets a forest road a little later. We follow this road for 900 m until we see a footbridge over the brook on the left hand side near a shrine at the roadside (for directions see also "Wasserfallweg": http://www.jachenau.de/wasserfall-weg ). On the path we cross to the other side of the stream, walk along the Rappinlaine and then climb up until we can descend to the left across a meadow to the Rappinlaine (entry).
Tour: We pass a few pools before the stream narrows and the rappel begins. Jumps are also possible here - after prior testing. Where the canyon opens, you first climb down a few more steps and then walk in the streambed or on the ascent path, as soon as it is possible to get off on it, back to the footbridge and the forest road.

Rappinlaine: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Bad Tölz we drive on the B13, past Lenggries, in the direction of Sylvensteinspeicher. Directly after the commercial area and 3.1 km after the exit into the center of Lenggries, we turn left from the B13 and drive to the village of Jachenau (15.5 km from B 13). We park the car in the large parking lot at the Schützenhaus Jachenau, northeast of the church.
Return: On the approach path back to the car. Alternatively, you can continue the tour in Staffelbach and/or Glasbach (see there!).

Staffelbach: Canyon Start
Approach: The signposted hiking trail (red dot) to the waterfall begins directly at the parking lot near the footbridge over the Kleine Laine. It leads near the Große Laine up the valley, crosses it after some time and reaches a forest road after about 50 min. Follow the ascending track to the right, after a flatter stretch at the Lainlalm, the trail climbs steeply up the slope in four narrow hairpin bends. After the steep graden, a path turns off to the left to the Rabenkopf. Horizontally along the slope, the path reaches the stream after a short time.
Tour: Several rappels in largely open terrain. Jump and slide possibilities, Good to combine with Rappinlaine and/or Glasbach.

Staffelbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Bad Tölz (B 13) drive via Lenggries to Jachenau (Isarwinkel). In the village, turn right to the designated village parking lot and park at the foot of the Kirchberg at the Schützenhaus restaurant.
Return: After the last rappel, descend for a long time in the streambed until you can get off on the left to the slope. Then the approach path back to Jachenau.

Glasbach (Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen): Canyon Start
Approach: At the parking lot we take the footbridge over the Kleine Laine and follow the hiking trail (red dot) to the waterfall and further in the direction of Rappinschlucht/Rappinalm. It leads near the Große Laine, first in the forest, up the valley, crosses it after about 40 min. and meets a forest road a little later. Follow this road until you see the Lainlalm in the meadow on the righthand side (up to here see also "Wasserfallweg": http://www.jachenau.de/wasserfall-weg ). Here we turn right off the forest road and follow the footpath, initially in the valley bottom, in a northeasterly direction. When we arrive at the final waterfall of our tour, we march uphill in a few switchbacks, then almost horizontally and relatively close to the stream along the slope. So we finally come to a small concrete bridge. Here we climb in.
Tour: Rappels alternate with running routes. Some jumps.Directly at the top of the high final waterfall, at the foot of which mostly bathers cavort, there is a left-hand exit possible jumps. See photos & videos!

Mascun Ultimos Estrechos: Canyon Start
Approach: From Rodellar, take the footpath that descends NNW into the bed of the Mascun River. Descend along the edge of the stream to the beginning of the constriction.
Tour: The descent is quite attractive if there is enough water flow and can also be connected to the descent in the Mascun inferiore. The core are the Pozos and the Chaos De Palomera. Also an exit at the Puente Coda and from there orographic. left on the path up to Rodellar is possible.

Mascun Ultimos Estrechos: Canyon End
Return: At the exit of the Ultimos Estrechos, swim out into the Barrasil and take an orographic right onto a path that leads downstream to the Puente Pedruel at the campsite 'El Puente'. If you don't have a second vehicle here, go up steeply on the road and at the top turn left to Rodellar. There is also a path up to Rodellar, relatively close above the Alcanadre, just past the Puente Coda. The trail starts about 20m from the eastern end of the bridge at Puente de Pedruel. It is also possible to walk back up to the entry in the canyon itself.

Himara Lower: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot directly into the streambed.

Approach: Either the ascent path of the Bco Cueva Cabito down and in the Estrechos de Balcés a piece upwards or the ascent path of the Xuncar down and in the Estrechos a piece downwards - until then about 1 hour each (see sketch at ). Recommended as an access route is the Bco. Xuncar (Juncar) - 2 hrs., max. rappel 18 m - which enters the Balcés opposite the mouth of the Cautiecho, there about 30 m downstream and then more or less pathless up to the 'Brujas' - another 3/4 hrs.The ascent route from the Balcés is the same for all variants.Entry at the 'Brujas' is expedient, since the Cautiecho further above does not offer too much. Also an access from the exit of the Balcés Oscuros on a hiking trail is possible. Return then in the Balcés Estrechos upstream (For this variant see gallery).
Tour: If you have the rare good fortune to be able to walk the Cautiecho with running water, you should pay special attention to guaranteeing the rope retrival during the magnificent 40 m rappel, as the chain anchor is designed for dry conditions.

Comment: Lapenila (descente)
Access: From Graus, 1.9 km north on the A-139. Just before the bridge over the Rio Esera, we turn left on HU-V-641. Passing the village of Panillo, after a total of 11.5 km, we reach the Collado de Pano (960 m a.s.l.) with the Ermita de la Virgen de la Collada. From here we descend in a southerly and later westerly direction towards the Cinca reservoir. At the beginning on a decent road, later even on tarred surface we come down to the ruined houses of the former village Lapinilla (638 m a.s.l.).The road down to the canyon is tarred since 2008. So also shuttle possible (park lower vehicle in front of the iron gate).
Return: Ascent on foot via the road on the left (i.e. south of the canyon) or, more attractively, on the right via a footpath that runs north of the canyon behind the rocky bar up to Lapenilla (village).

Korinus Klamm: Canyon Start
2024-03-26: Most of the tour is downclimbed/hiked in the stream. Lots of pushing. Few anchors, but these are of good quality. A few rapid links are missing and could be retrofitted.
Approach: Now take the first hairpin bend to the right, followed a little later by a left-hand bend. Continue west along the evenly ascending forest road to the next (right-hand) hairpin bend (1.7 km from the car at the top). We now follow the track for another 180 m and then take the path that runs towards the Trainsbach stream. As soon as the path reaches the slope above the stream and turns NNW, we look for a steep and pathless descent down to the streambed. If necessary, rope down from trees. It is not worth continuing along the path and looking for a more comfortable descent, as the descent options hardly get any better and this route then has to be climbed down again in the slippery streambed.
Tour: Downclimb many steps, if necessary also with rope hoists from trees. Then the 35m diagonal abseil. This is followed by several rappels, but always from trees. Only towards the exit does the gorge deserve its name. There are also bolts here, but they do not always make a reliable impression. The highlight is the final waterfall (25m).

Kessellaine, untere: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the forest road, soon come to a junction where we keep to the right ("Walchensee", "Durchs Eschenlainetal", "Heimgarten"). About 1.8 km further or 25 min. later we cross the Eschenlaine. 800m further (in about 15 min.) we keep left at the next fork. About 200m further, an overgrown and obviously hardly used path begins on the right above the forest road embankment, which takes us in a southerly direction a few meters up to the ridge lying across in front of us. On this ridge, first uphill in a westerly direction. Then the old path goes SSW into the western slope above the Kessellaine. We are careful not to lose it, climb several times over tree trunk obstacles and finally reach the streambed of the Kessellaine (entry).
Tour: Hiking and downclimbing alternate. In between, several rappels and deadwood in the streambed again and again. Hiking out of the canyon we see the water seep into the gravel bed. Continue in the gravel to the Eschenlaine and there left to the slide brake with bridge. Here you can continue the tour in the Gachentodklamm (see there!).

Access: From the BAB 95 (Munich-Garmisch-Partenkirchen) via exit 11 ("Eschenlohe") in eastern direction to Eschenlohe. We cross the B 12 and keep right in the center of Eschenlohe on the Garmischer Straße. We come to a covered bridge over the Loisach, cross the river and then take the Walchenseestraße on the other side half-left. After not quite 300m (from Loisach bridge) we cross the Eschenlaine, which normally has no water flow at this point. After another 300m the road bends in a right angle to SSO. From here another 1100m and we park our car in front of the no driving sign on the right at the edge of the forest.
Return: On the forest road coming from the bridge above the slide brake, turn left and follow the approach path back to the car.

Pustertallaine: Canyon Start
Approach: We now walk back 270m on the tarred road and then turn left onto a footpath ("Krottenkopf"), which leads us to the footbridge over the Asamklamm gorge. Beyond up the stairs we come to a slope, which we follow to the left ("Krottenkopf via Kuhalm"). We climb steadily uphill on the path. We ignore junctions to the right or to the left. After 3 km the track turns to the south and goes first over the Kessellaine, later over the Pustertalaine. 1.2 km after this striking turn we come to the gulch of the Pustertalaine.
Tour: To the right of the pipe culvert we descend pathlessly into the streambed, now follow the course of the stream, as far as possible, on the right or left bank (because in the stream terrain slippery). Some unsecured rappels are avoided in this way. Then move along the streambed until you reach the gorge with a total of 4 rappels (max. 15m) at about the beginning of the last quarter. A few meters after the opening of the canyon, we can descend into the Kessellaine coming from the right.

Pustertallaine: Canyon End
Return: About 60m down the Kessellaine we see steep trail tracks on the left going up the meadow slope. We follow these if we do not decide to continue the tour through the lower Kessellaine. The path descends towards the Eschenlaine and meets a dirt road, which we follow - after crossing the Eschenlaine in the meantime - to the car (about 3.2 km on the dirt road and subsequent tarred road).

Pustertallaine: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Munich we leave the A95 via exit no. 11 - Eschenlohe. We drive into Eschenlohe, meet the Murnauerstraße, turn right here and after a left turn we come to the bridge over the Loisach. After crossing the bridge we follow the Walchenseestraße half-left (direction Walchensee, Wengwies). 1.7 km after the bridge we come to a hikers' parking lot on the right of the road. The road enters the forest here and is closed to vehicles. Here we park our car.
Return: About 60m down the Kessellaine we see steep trail tracks on the left going up the meadow slope. We follow these if we do not decide to continue the tour through the lower Kessellaine. The path descends towards the Eschenlaine and meets a dirt road, which we follow - after crossing the Eschenlaine in the meantime - to the car (about 3.2 km on the dirt road and subsequent tarred road).

Schronbach: Canyon Start
Approach: We go on the B13 170m in the direction NNO slightly downhill and turn left before the Isar bridge on a slope. Also here you could park the car well at the B13. We follow now the runway 1 km and turn then on the left branching field way. On this we come after another 150 m to a relatively elaborate gauge measuring point. In front of the metal bridge we go down on a ladder into the streambed. We can also enter 50m further upstream and start with a small jump.
Tour: First about 300m almost level in the streambed, until the beginning of the drop. Here first some possible jumps, then the 20m rappel (caution: small cavity under the spray). 2 (bumpy) slides follow, then another rappel under the road bridge. Beyond the underpass left out to the car or still go down the final waterfall or rappel (almost 30m !).

Schronbach: Canyon End
Return: At the latest now left out to the car.

Approach: We walk along the road through the village in a southerly direction. After the last houses on the righthand side there are some barns - meanwhile also converted to residential use - with mostly circular threshing floors in front of them. There we turn left from the previous path and follow the indistinct track in a southerly direction down into the ditch that appears to be the beginning of the Bco. Manatuero. In the ditch we then walk ahead to the first rappel point.
Tour: 5 rappel, some downclimb, then we can cross in front of and above the large pool left into the cave ("Forato de Manatuero"). Far we can - if we want - into the cave passage. The "equipment" is modest at first, but then becomes richer. More information at: climbing out of the mouth of the cave, we can bypass the large pool on the left. Depending on the season and the previous amount of precipitation, we climb and wade down the stream in the cold spring water.\nWe come across a sinter bridge and a few meters further leave the streambed to the right and meet the footpath that leads directly down here from Buerba.

Access: From Nice through the Var valley to the north, then west and finally north again to the Gorge de Daluis (via the D 2202 towards Guillaumes). After the village of Daluis, the road rises sharply to cross the canyon Gorge de Daluis at 100 to 200 m above the Var wild and romantic. About 3 km after the village, a side stream (the Bertheou) is crossed on a high brick bridge (signs "Pont de Bertheou"). Park here.

Approach: From the car, continue along the slope until you reach the first (35m) rappel point on the right at the break-off.
Tour: Scenic tour with a C 35 at the beginning and a top rappel later (C 40). However, the stream from St Laurent is polluted, which also speaks for making a proper water flow a prerequisite for an ascent.\nYou can also descend further to Touèt de l'Escarène; here the attraction consists of a nice slide and numerous car wrecks. Then leave the lower vehicle at the northeastern exit of Touèt de l'Escarène and about 800 m before reaching the village, at about altitude 470 m a.s.l., you should get off on a left-banked path that leads to the village.

Pierrefeu aval (II) : Canyon Start
Approach: On the orographic left bank (i.e. before the bridge), a path goes north along the canyon rim and along a water conduit, descending in a northerly direction, one reaches the streambed.
Tour: From one pool to the next, few smaller rappels (6), towards the exit river walk. If both parts are walked, a shuttle is necessary.

Pierrefeu aval (II) : Canyon End
Return: After about 200m of hiking in the gravelly streambed (about 10 min.) we climb up 2m to the left onto a path that runs horizontally parallel to the stream at the beginning (GPS: N: 43.858311 E: 7.086025). It leads us up to the road.\nIf we miss this exit, we hike downstream to the confluence with the Esteron. We follow the latter downhill for about 200 m (river swimming may be possible) and then exit to the left. On a yellow marked path we come up to the road.

Pierrefeu aval (II) : Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Nice on the N 202 direction Digne. After about 19 km turn left over the Var, on the D 17 up to Gilette and further behind in the Esteron valley. About 11.5 km after Gilette, you pass the junction of the road to Pierrefeu and after another 500 m you come to the bridge over the Pierrefeu. Before, after the village of Le Coulet, look for a place for the vehicle, so not near the bridge!
Return: After about 200m of hiking in the gravelly streambed (about 10 min.) we climb up 2m to the left onto a path that runs horizontally parallel to the stream at the beginning (GPS: N: 43.858311 E: 7.086025).

Approach: At the northern exit of the village, at marker "84", a wide path leads down to the bridge over the Gros Riou.
Tour: Access from the bridge via a small rappel. After narrow passages at the beginning, the high waterfall follows, which can alternatively be dry roped (left). You can also descend a further 500 m (route) and encounter slides and smaller rappels. The exit is then at 340 m above sea level at the confluence with the Rieu stream. From here you walk approx. 1200 m on a slope to Roquesteron.

Approach: At the northern end of the village, at marker point "84", a wide path leads down to the bridge over the Gros Riou. Continue along the track to marker point "88". Pass the small water basin and a little later take the path that leaves the slope on the left (cairn at the junction). The path crosses a stream and then ascends through a sparse pine forest. It then goes through a small rock face and we pass marker point "89". Here we turn left towards Bau de l'Arc and, walking downhill, quickly reach the streambed.
Tour: After a shorter run, you come to the attractive rappels C10 and C25. After another 4 rappels you reach the level and a longer run begins before you exit to the right onto the meadows. You can also turn left immediately after the last rappel (C9) up onto the access path.

Approach: From the parking lot no longer continue on the slope as before, but on a signposted path to the entry (2017), where from the right the rocky slope reaches completely to the stream.
Tour: The stream has eaten into sloping rock slabs, so that there is an almost cave-like atmosphere, where you can sometimes only walk bent over. 2 fun slides and possible jumps (among others after the pool of the 2nd slide on a fixed rope back up to the rock bar; the 12 m jump is already outside the constriction) make the mini-canyon attractive.

Approach: From the hikers' parking lot, take a path to the gravel road and follow it to the parking lot at the dam wall. From the parking lot, descend orographic left on a clear path under the dam. After about 3min the path reaches the streambed filled with giant boulders. Entry at a flood warning sign and an orange reflector on a tree.
Tour: Downclimb under the first blocks to the first 13m rappel, then rappel from the right under wedged blocks 25m, 12m and 7m. From here 3 rappels in complete darkness before it goes again briefly into the light. A siphon must be climbed around in a twisted and small way above until you reach the stream again above a 22m rappel point. Another 4 rappels, partly in the dark again, lead to the highest waterfall of the tour: 27m down through a rock gate. Here is the only escape route of the tour to the left. Also here is an orange reflector on a tree. A side stream brings at least double the water, if you have already had problems in the first part you should not continue. The second part starts at the path of the emergency exit and is again marked with an orange reflector. You climb back into the blocked streambed and follow the water as much as possible through obscure block climbing before it gets dark for a longer time. 9 abseils in beautifully washed out serpentine follow, at the 18m waterfall be sure to watch out for the hanging basin on the left - at high water levels it is very difficult to get out of there again. You can avoid the basin but orographic left. The gorge ends in block chaos, better downclimb near the stream to the bridge, above the blocks the rock is overgrown and very slippery. About an old wooden ladder (at red / white trail marking on block in the streambed) you can already leave the streambed before right.

Approach: First, walk up the hill for a while and pass between a few houses (fountain on the left). We follow the signpost "Ponte Alpe Baim" on a path in a horizontal northerly direction. After a while we come to a tree trunk with large lettering. Here the main path goes down to the right to the bridge (1100) - lower access (time saving compared to the upper access is a good 1 hour). The path to the upper entry goes left here and is marked with red markings. Follow them past a ruined house to the stream. Middle entry: From the church, follow the forest path downhill until you reach the power station. Pass between the two buildings and descend behind the building on the right onto the tube. Follow the tube until you can descend to the right to the streambed after the first tunnel. (Duration 20-30min)
Tour: Long and great descent with slides, possible jumps, bottlenecks and pools flooded with sun (if the sun shines). At the water drainage you can get out if necessary, if the water flow seems too strong for the following bottlenecks. If we also want to hook the lower part, we have to carry a 60m rope in addition to 2x30m rope.

Access: From Domodossola, head west into the Bogna Valley in the direction of Fonti.

If you want to get out before the passage with the 68 m rappel and longer walking distance (recommended, as the last part is not very rewarding and then 2x30 m of rope are enough for a highest rappel of not quite 25 m), park the lower car 570 m further on the access road at the entrance to Fonti, just before the bridge over the Bogna. Immediately after the bridge, the hiking trail from Monsignore, on which we will return, is on the right. In the second car, continue through the village of Fonti and then take the winding road uphill via San Lorenzo, Graniga and Pianzola. After a total of 8.7 km (counted from the lower car at the road junction to Pioi), we come to a 90° left-hand bend to some houses scattered on the slope (1290 m above sea level).

Val Bianca: Canyon Start

Approach: From the parking lot in front of the electricity house, walk back to the bus stop. Directly next to the bus stop, follow the wide access road that leads past the abandoned house. The road quickly becomes an (unmarked) path, which you follow over a small bridge to the mountain road. Follow the road only briefly (approx. 50 m) until you find the path on the left again. This leads through the forest (next to the road) up to the small village of Calasca. When you reach the church, you can already see the B00 Calasca Fermata Bus trail marker next to the stone fountain. At the junction with the other mountain road, follow the hiking trail to the left, which soon leads over the Rio Val Bianca and into the village of Barzona. (On the ascent path, you can already look into the canyon (or get in or out). Before the village, follow the road down to the small bridge/chapel. (Entry at 650m)
Tour: The Rio Val Bianca is a very beautiful, short, open rappel canyon with mostly little water. If you divide the canyon into 2 halves, you have a walk and downclimb at the beginning, followed by possible slides and short abseils in the watercourse. In a narrow chute, the water pressure in the intermediate basin can be uncomfortable. The second, more vertical part of the canyon begins at the point where you have the best view of the Anzasca Valley. Here a 100m cascade leads into the valley (30m, 20m and 45m). At the 30m abseil point, you get a powerful shower before reaching the beautiful, deep pool (after a check, the last part is slippery). This is followed by an exposed one, where you rappel about 20m to the right to the last intermediate rappel. The last 45m abseil is the highest. Caution: when pulling off the last 45m abseil, the ropes can easily get jammed in the boulders below.

Access: From Domodossola on the 549 into the Valle Anzasca valley. After approx. 35min you will come to a small pizzeria "C'era una volta" in Calasca Castiglione on the right (recommended; simple and good). From here it is exactly 1.3km to the parking exit of the Bianca. Do not park your car at the bus stop, but after the bridge on the gravel parking place on the right at the E-Werk house. A little tip: to avoid having to carry heavy rucksacks up, you can deposit them at the entry beforehand. To do this, take the turn-off to the right to Calasca approx. 50 m before the bus stop. After several hairpin bends, there is a turn-off to the left to Barzona. Follow the road to the bridge (entry at 650m). After depositing the car, park at the bottom and walk up.
Return: After the last abseiling point, leave the canyon on the right-hand side (525m). First over large boulders through an iron grid (private). Cross the garden as unnoticed as possible without losing much height. You will soon reach the electricity house (parking lot).

Comment: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the signs for Passo Mondelli. Before going up to the entry, check the water level at the exit of the intermedio. To do this, go down the path to the left of the beautifully painted house in the direction of Macugnaga until you reach the bridge. After the check, go back to the village and continue up towards Passo Mondelli. Without taking a fork, follow the path until you reach the sign "Cascata Mondelli". Here continue on the left until you reach the stream (entry Mondelli intermedio) at about 1260m.
Tour: Anyone who has mastered the rope techniques for aquatic canyons should have done this canyon (weather and water level permitting). The canyon offers everything that makes an experienced canyoneer's heart beat faster; abseils in the water, jumps and slides into deep, crystal-clear pools. Very continuous from start to exit. The beautiful pools and the water pressure should not be underestimated, however, as some pools can recede, especially in the lower part of the Mondelli intermedio. The first high rappel can be completely bypassed/downclimbed on the right side. The stands for the subsequent rappels are usually positioned so that you can also rappel outside the water jet. Canyoneers who like to jump and slide will get their money's worth and save about 30 minutes on the descent. The exit is before the bridge at 1150m.

Access: From Domodossola South take the SS33 main road towards Milano. Then take the Piedimulera/Vogagna/Pallenzeno exit. At the 1st traffic circle turn left towards Vogagna. At the next traffic circle turn right towards Piedimulera and at the 3rd traffic circle go straight on. Then keep right, direction Macugnaga. From here follow the mountain road for about 30min. After the village of Ceppo Morelli, take a sharp right up the very steep mountain road to Mondelli. After several tight serpentine curves, the road ends at the Mondelli parking lot (limited parking).
Return: After the last pool before the bridge (at about 1150m) you should get out on the right. (From here begins the even more demanding lower part of the canyon). Here you go left over the old wooden bridge and shortly back to the village and parking lot.

Approach: If you switch the ascent of the Mondelli med. before, the access is as described there and instead of the exit at the bridge you continue the tour in the lower part. However, if you want to make the entry to the lower part directly, follow the signs "Stabioli, Macugnaga" and you will reach the bridge where the exit from the middle part of the Mondelli is made.
Tour: 14-15 rappels in a partly quite narrow and watery descent. At the double step above the large block, a continuous rappel over 60m should be more pleasant than using the transfer. In 2017, a dam with water drainage was built after the first 6 abseiling points, which removes about 3/4 of the water. This has made the lower part of the canyon much easier. At the dam, you can exit to the right (cairns and unclear path). At the last waterfall, make absolutely sure that there is no knot above the rope protection.

Access: We leave the SS 33 (Gravellona - Domodossola), which runs up the Ossola valley, via the Piedimulera exit and head west on the SS549 into the Val d'Anza towards Macugnaga. After 20.5 km (from the SS33 exit), you pass through the village of Ceppo Morelli. 2.2 km further on, the road turns right up to the village of Mondelli. However, we continue on the SS549 for another 850 m and park our car for the exit at the bridge over the Rio Mondelli (small cars only). There is a fixed rope on the orographic right for the exit from the stream onto the bridge. Normal sized cars drive about 400m further through the tunnel and park in the large parking lot. Then drive back and left up to the village of Mondelli (1190 m above sea level). At the exit of the road, we park the upper car in the parking lot in front of the village.
Return: Only a few steps to the car if you have parked orographically on the left. Otherwise approx. 400m through the tunnel back to the car.

Approach: We take the dirt road across the meadows in a southwesterly direction. The path bends successively to the north and we reach a forest road. On this 150m to the left we come to the bridge over the Karnertalbach. Entry above the bridge on the orographic right or left side.
Tour: First under the bridge, then alternate walking passages and easy rappel (about 11 - 13). At the end, continue downhill in the stream until the banks flatten out and an exit trail becomes visible on the left. It is also possible to go further. A wide waterfall follows, which is rappelled down at the beginning or left of the tree. Then follows a 32m waterfall from the tree in the middle of the watercourse and finally a 10m rappel to the left of the tree. Exit after walking passages in the stream left up to the forest path.

Approx. 100m left before the stream there is a hiking trail upwards --> with a steep ascent you quickly gain altitude --> after a good 15min. you cross the stream for the first time (warning sign) --> to walk the lower part of the canyon you still have to walk up the hiking trail for approx. 480Hm --> then enter the stream on the left.
Tour: The tour is one of the most beautiful and best known canyons in the area and is therefore also very popular --> but if you make a canyoning vacation in Switzerland, this scenic breathtaking canyon should not be missed --> to put it in a nutshell, the canyon offers everything a casual canyoning tour should have --> there are many jumps, slides and rappel in every shape and height --> you should be careful only at the sharp edges --> even with a lot of water is caution --> to avoid long waiting times, it is recommended to leave early.

Approach: From the exit of the tarred road, descend along the marked path to the stream that you cross above the lowest gorge. On the other side of the stream stay on the lower path that soon crosses the stream from Val di Botte. Access to Val di Botte. A little after the streambed crossing a path branches off to the right, follow this uphill through the forest until a forest road branches off to the right. Here is the entry to Val di Botte. After the tour through Val di Botte, descend almost to the confluence with the Ardo and hike up along the edge of its streambed or in the streambed until you reach the lower exit of the uppermost gorge - Brent Rizzo. Go up the stream until you see the path on the orographic right bank, where you can go around the gorge on a good path. Above the gorge descend to the streambed. After the tour of the Brent Rizzo, go down through the streambed until you reach the Brent Grande at the bridge.
Tour: Brent delle Val di Botte: Narrow gorge in stratified limestone with low water flow. 3 rappels and slides/jumps in beautiful pools. The tour ends with a very narrow mini gorge. Brent Rizzo: depth but very shallow gorge with longer swimming passages. Brent Grande: great rock formations, a 1.5m jump in the middle of the gorge some deadwood and a longer swimming passage towards the exit. Approximate walking times: Parking lot - bridge: 25 min. Bridge - Botte entry: 25 min. Canyon Botte: 50 Exit Botte to the entry Brent Rizzo: 20 Brent Rizzo: 30 End Rizzo to the bridge, Grande entry: 15 Brent Grande Canyon: 20 Exit to parking lot: 35

Approach: Back along the road for about 50m, then down the meadow path and over the Fier. Continue along the path on the other side until a sign on the left uphill points the way to the Cascade de Nant Burgeat. You can see the water flow at the final waterfall. From here, follow the path back for about 50m and then - steeply in places - up to the left. At the top, we come to a meadow with a view of the mountains to the east and south-east. Now we cross the - partly swampy - meadow to its south-eastern corner and easily reach the streambed here. If we are looking for a direct entry to the beginning of the vertical area, we go directly downhill in an easterly direction on the left edge of the forest after reaching the meadow, enter the forest and come across a fixed rope directly above the streambed, which makes it easier for us to enter the streambed. This direct access avoids the two slides at the beginning of the usual descent.
Tour: First a few meters in the wide streambed, then the two small slides. This is followed by the vertical part to the viewpoint below the waterfalls.

Access: From Geneva to Annecy, then always along the (northeast) shore of Lac d'Annecy, first on the D 909, later on the D 909 a to Talloires. Immediately before the last traffic circle, before the road descends to the Lac d'Annecy visible from here, you cross the Nant de Graz, which is piped here. Here (nearby) park the lower vehicle (13 km from Annecy). Return with the second vehicle in the direction of Annecy. After the end of Talloires, after some serpentines, you reach the junction of the D 42 to the Col de la Forclaz. We follow the road that also leads to the access of the Angon. After a right serpentine and a little more than 1 km after the junction, one passes through a tunnel. 400 m after this, the road swings to the east and a little later crosses our stream. About 100 m after the bridge, immediately to the right of the road, there is an opportunity to park the upper vehicle.

Approach: From the southern exit of Kriegerfriedhos we take the GR 96 to the right and climb relatively steeply on a path in a westerly direction. The track makes first a left, later a right serpentine. About 200 m later, after a slight bend to the left, a forest path branches off from this track and leads to a larger house in a clearing. We initially follow this path, but then cross below this property through a spruce pole forest to the west and come to the streambed.
Tour: After 3 smaller rappels, an underground passage gives the "Beautiful Unknown" its special charm. Alternatively, you can also rappel outside the cave. This is followed by two attractive longer rappels. A combination with the Morette on the opposite side of the valley is a good idea.

Access: From Annecy on the western shore of the lake of the same name on the D 909 (from the highway it is better to drive around Annecy on the D 16) in the direction of Thônes or La Clusaz. Before you cross the river Fier (after about 14 km), you will see the war cemetery "Cimitière militaire de Morette" with the "Musée de la resistance" on the right of the long straight road. Park the car here in a suitable place.
Return: If you don't want to check off the last two rappels in open terrain (and therefore of little interest) as well (C 25 and C 10), climb out of the streambed to the left after C 32 (below the natural arch) and look for a path down to the road (D 909).

Approach: From the parking lot initially on a forest road in a roughly northerly direction uphill. Then turn right on a path that leads us up through the rock walls (with beautiful views). At a tree on the right of the path we find a signpost "16 CIRCUIT DES CASCADES". A little later we cross the Morette and descend on clear tracks to the left of the stream to the entry just above the clamping block.
Tour: As the Morette is "accessed" via a so-called waterfall course, you can also start below the C45. With the high rappel in the stream, you should turn right (orographic) after the first 20 m in order to get out of the possibly strong stream as soon as possible. The waterfall visible from the main valley is only a drainage of the Morette.

Approach: Follow the forest road for about 20min until in a right bend the mostly dry stream crosses the path. Get on here and follow the streambed.
Tour: First 15 minutes of dry block hopping until you finally come to the first short downclimbs and rappels. All abseiling sections can be mastered without difficulty. There are a few rappels over rope slings, which need to be renewed if necessary. This canyon should definitely be walked after heavy rainfall so that you at least get wet up to your stomach.

Approach: Descend briefly to the bridge over the Raccolana gorge and descend on the other side over the Rio Repepeit and into the gravel bed of the Raccolana. Follow the gravel bed upstream until a rock face juts into the gravel bed from the right. Immediately before the rock face, climb steeply to the right onto the embankment and from here follow an old path diagonally uphill to the right. The path is heavily overgrown, but its route is still clearly recognizable. There are clear steps in rocky passages. Once you have crossed the Rio Repepeit above the high waterfalls, keep left and ascend in many hairpin bends (do not follow the tracks crossing to the right) to reach a long and in places exposed crossing high above the canyon. Follow the path until you meet the Rio Repepeit again below a beautiful waterfall.
Tour: * rappel 5m from tree on the right or make a bumpy slide * downclimb 2 small steps in the rock channel * 20m rappel from anchor on the right * 32m rappel from tree sling on the right * 50m rappel from two anchors on the left into the gorge * 6m rappel from an hourglass sling on the left * 8m rappel from anchor on the left * Several small slides * 24m rappel from anchor on the right * 12m rappel from tree on the left * Downclimb or bypass two rock steps on the right. * Cross the approach path * 60m rappel left from tree sling * 10m rappel left from anchor * 70m rappel left from chain

Wadi Siyyagh: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the path past the huts, through a hollow and up to a saddle. Then we leave the clear path that goes left towards Petra and keep to the left slope of Wadi Marvan. Passing a single juniper bush on the right. The path is now more clearly visible again. Below the walls of the Jabel-el-Deir mountain we hike down the left edge of the Wadi Marvan. After a while a clear track goes up between the rocks on the left. It leads to the highest attraction of Petra, the "monastery" of Deir. We descend further to the right at this point, cross a cirque and climb up on indistinct tracks to a jagged shoulder. From here we can see the upper reaches of the Wadi Musa. We now descend below the rock wall until we can descend to the streambed on the right. GPS entry: 30°20'7.18 "N - 35°25'36.05 "E
Tour: 6 to 7 rappel, max. 30m. First a small step, then the highest rappel. After a few more rappels, a large rock blocks the way further. The pool in front of the siphon is mostly covered with garbage. A massive branch leaning on the right side allowed us to climb over the clamping block twice. Then run until Wadi Marvan comes down from the right. GPS exit: 30°20'34.70 "N - 35°25'10.97 "E

Wadi Siyyagh: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the village of Wadi Musa, the starting point for visiting Petra, we drive from the parking lot for visitors to Petra in the direction of Little Petra. After about 3 km we pass through the settlement of Badul and after 5.55 km from our starting point, the visitor parking lot for Petra, we turn off the tar road linls onto a dirt road. It leads into a wide valley framed by mountains with rather vertical walls. The track turns to the west and about 1050m after the turn we come to a small hill, where tracks come from different directions. Here we park our car near two huts and an olive grove. GPS: 30°21'21.01 "N - 35°26'27.86 "E
Return: We climb up the Wadi Marvan following an indistinct path. From the right (orographic. left) a side wadi enters. We follow the tracks that serpentine up the orographic left slope of Wadi Marwan. At the top we meet our approach trail and follow it back to the car. For climbers (3./4. degree) there is the possibility to climb back to the entry in or at the edge of the canyon, cf: Walking in Jordan. Walks, treks, caves, climbs, canyons.

Approach: From the bridge we walk about 350 m in open terrain, orienting ourselves to the left along the stream to the first abseiling point.
Tour: This is followed by 7 to 9 rappels (depending on any breaks). You can sometimes cut the ropes so that you slide out of the rope from a certain height and fall into the pool below. The highlight are the 2 longer chutes at the exit of the tour described here, starting with the C55, which can now also be broken. After the 3 successive rappels mentioned above (55 m, 35 m, 20 m), we climb down a few more meters over boulders. During the descent, views of the impressive scenic landscape constantly open up. Then there is a possible exit up a steep chute ('Jacomedie') to the rocks of Marmailles and from here over a ridge up to the viewpoint on the road. From here, follow the road in a westerly direction back to the car. The integral ascent takes us about 850m or 1 hour down the left bank of the stream to the "dalles", which are pools of a larger and almost flat granite surface before reaching the Bras Rouge. The route now descends almost vertically for around 100 meters. Once at the bottom, the gloomy "Chapelle" awaits us at the exit of the tour. Alternatively, you can rappel directly into the chapel through the split block, but then you need at least 1x100m ropes + 1x60m + 1x40m, see topographic view.

Approach: From the parking lot it is common to continue to the Gîte de Bélouve and from there take the "Sentier du Trou de Fer". The path meets a forest track called "Allée Cavalière". Now turn left until the Sentier de Trou de Fer pulls away from the dirt road again on the left. Where the trail describes a right turn of 90 degrees (on the IGN map "1404") we take the canyoneering track that continues in the previous direction. It leads us to the edge of the cauldron and then down into the streambed of the Bras de Caverne.\n\tIt seems from the map that it would be faster to go back from the parking lot about 750m on the Route Forestière 2 de Bébour-Bélouve, passing the beginning of the track Route Forestière 25 des Fleurs Jaunes until the "Allée Cavalière" turns left (On the IGN map "1537"). After 700m on this track, another track walks towards it from the right, 100m further on, the "Sentier du Trou de Fer" comes from the left. From here the continuation is identical to the first described path (see red dotted line on map).
Tour: It begins with a step of about 180m (highest rappel 92m). This is followed by a step of about 150m (highest rappel about 81m).\nThen rappel down the vertical wall about 260m into the actual cauldron. Here there are 2 routes: One close to the rappel (highest rappel 101m) and the usual one between the strong waterfall and the two smaller ones (Cascade de Harmonie). This latter route includes 2x96m rappel with the pendulum to stand between them.\nNow you reach the Bassin des grands vents, near which under a boulder used to bivouac at night.\nAfter that, you enter the "corridor" that leads to the exit. Again, 2 options: Either directly in and at the Bras de Caverne - "La Lessiveuse" - or via the Bassin Fénoir at the foot of the Bras Mazerin - waterfall. In the "Corridor" then many swimming sections, small rappel and downclimb.\n

Approach: From the parking lot on the road downhill for about 100 m to the small bridge and cross it to the right bank of the Restonica. Pass through a few old farm buildings and then cross the Rau. de Cavacciole to the orographic. left bank. Now go up on a small path, first about 50 to 100 meters from canyon, then from halfway close to the canyon. The path is marked with stone markers. Then we come to a plateau at the height of 1680 m.a.s.l., where the canyon begins.
Tour: A total of 20 rappel in succession, even some jumps possible. The penultimate rappel needs handrail at the access, the longest vertical rappel has a sharp edge - protectors needed! Escape possibilities everywhere - the whole canyon is accompanied by the path.

Return: There is no clear exit point and the way back is also quite cross-country. See also (website no longer available): "La sortie du canyon est peu évidente à trouver. Le topo étant très peu clair à ce sujet: '30min après passage de grotte en paroi, lorsque la gorge s'élargit remonter à qui mieux-mieux dans le maquis en RD'.Mouais, effectivement, env. 30 min après la grotte, la gorge s'élargit, un cairn est même là, un pseudo sentier part sur la droite, mais ce n'est PAS la sortie. Having said that, we arrived on a crête, after grimacing in the maquis for 40 minutes, to discover the car separated from us by a new descent in full speed, and a similar return.Be aware that the gorge widens considerably before you start the descent, and be careful with the cairns you encounter (we did not return to reduce them). At the right end, the gorge is considerably wider and the remontée is free of any "barre rocheuse". On my first ascent, I also went up to the right too early and then stood at the top of a saddle where there was a vertical drop of more than 100m. So: When the canyon widens about 30 minutes after passing a grotto in the rock face, you may see a large cairn on the orographic right bank. Do not turn right here up the steep cirque, but continue along the stream until you reach the ridge and a faint trail on almost flat terrain, climbing slightly to the west. Follow this on the ridge to the right in a northerly direction until you can easily cross in a westerly direction to the hamlet of Martini. As the residents there also like to make trouble if you climb up to the road near their houses, it is better to walk further downhill in Baraci and get off (to the right) where the "Mare e Mare Sud" hiking trail crosses the stream. Additional time required - estimated - 45 min. The "lower car" should be parked in the hamlet of San Quircu, where the hiking trail meets the road.

Approach: From the road go right(O) down the path, after 30 m turn left, first northeastward, later eastward down to the stream.
Tour: Somewhat gloomy canyon with many possible slides and jumps. Since the pools are dark, prior verification is appropriate. The canyon can also be walked in short (so is the commercial use).

We pass the heights "802" and "748" on the IGN map.we come to the Ruisseau Stazzatellu, Here the path branches. On the way back we come later from the left below. But now we stay up to the right, on the further path we cross the Ruisseau de Pruniccia on an old concrete bridge, After that the path rises slightly and we come to a small plateau. From here we descend "on sight" to the Carcheto.
Tour: Only 4 rappel, then we pass the Pruniccia coming from the left. Later there is a possible jumps before reaching the old bridge.

Entry just above the bridge.
Tour: We expect 10-12 rappel and then longer runs towards the exit. After the C40 and the inflow from the left (Rau de Stazzatello), after the next two rappels (C15 and C10) a siphon (D10) awaits us, which can be bypassed on the right bank. A C15 follows, then a first longer run. About 15 min. after the last rappel (C10) we look for an exit to the right on a path at about 265m height - stream course describes a right turn here.

Approach: The path goes through the Maccia first slightly uphill and winds around the mountain keeping slightly left. After 10 min it goes downhill. On a horizontal stretch of path you can see a tafoni rock jutting out of the maccia. Here the path divides. To the right, the path becomes steeper and steeper through the woods to the river.
Tour: In case of impending thunderstorm in any case do not enter!!Material: buoyant rope, 30m rope.Dreamlike, strongly cut and very short (1.5 km)canyon, starting with two easy jumps. First abseil point with 8-10m or to be mastered with jump. Shortly after, a waterfall curtain, which is about 10m wide. Here you have to look where you jump. Heavy people come up on the bottom!!! Stones can be seen from above. After that some swimming passages. Slippery passages (4-5m high) follow, which are better to rappel if you are doing the tour for the first time. A swimming passage ends at a waterfall, which is about 12m high. Some jump from there, for me it was too risky because the lake is quite shallow. Finally a 3 meter jump, which ends in a 3m wide and 250m long canyon, which you have to swim through completely. After that there are only 2 easy 4m jumps to do.

Approach: Cross the Gravona to the northern bank and, keeping to the right, follow the path in a northerly direction. After about 250m, at the fork, take the path that descends to the right, cross the Cardiccia/Richiusa and climb up the slope on the other bank for about 25 minutes. At an altitude of about 800m, the path branches again. To the left (N) would go to Bergerie Matone and thus to Canyon Richiusa; we go to the right for about 500m (about 25 min.) and then at a suitable point descend without a path to the right into the stream.
Tour: Downclimb in the open streambed, some slides, then the attractive constriction with rappel.

Access: We head for the village of Bocognano on the N193 (Ajaccio - Corte). Either about 40km from Ajaccio or about 41km from Corte over the Col de Vizzavona (1183m above sea level). At the eastern exit of the town, we follow the sign "Richiusa" and take the small road downhill in a northerly direction. After 950m we turn left downhill a few meters before reaching the hamlet of Busso and after another 700m we arrive at a small electric plant on the bank of the Gravona. Here we park the car.
Return: after the exit of the narrows about 10 min. march in the streambed to Gravona, then in and on the edge of Gravona another 30 min. to the parking lot on the left.

Approach: From the parking lot directly into the stream, from the alternative upper parking lot on a forest path in a northeasterly direction (see sketch in the photo gallery).
Tour: After own meters of walking and descending the C11 chute not quite easy with large water flow. Only at the end of the tour again an attractive rappel (C31), which can be avoided if necessary by an exit to the left.

Return: So only 1 car is at the top, after the C31 and a small jump left out and steeply up to the ridge above the stream. Then along the ridge to the road and to the car.\n\nIf there is a second car at the bottom, we get out of the creek a little later and there we meet a path on the left, which we follow to the bridge over the Garona (next to the railroad bridge) and then beyond the railroad track further to the lower car (see sketch in the photo gallery).

Approach: From the road bridge we take a path that leads us up the orographic right bank to the entry above the first rappel (C25 - 825m a.s.l.).
Tour: First the C25, followed by the C13, then under the road bridge. After 350m in the streambed, things get more interesting again. Several rappels follow, including the C35. Finally the last rappel of importance, the C17. A further descent in the streambed - approximately to the old footbridge at 545m above sea level - is not worthwhile. Instead, exit under the C17 (altitude 610m).

Return: To the left, initially pathless up the slope, we later meet a path that goes up above and essentially parallel to the stream. After some time we thus come across a side stream (Ruisseau Nespoli), which we follow uphill to the road (D16). On the road turn left to the car.

Access: From Aleria about 4 km on the N198 north, direction Bastia. Then turn left on the D16, then 17 km to Tox. Continue via Campi, Moita and Matra (up to here 26.7 km from N98). From Matra now 5 km further direction Pianello and we are at the bridge over the Bravona. Here we park our car (775m above sea level).

Tour: The mini descent described here can be seen in full length on the photo of the above first mentioned book - on p. 32. In the book of Quilici the whole tour (440 m altitude difference) is described, but in this form then probably something for collectors.

Bucatoggio: Parking at Entry
Access: From Bastia, take the N198 towards Bonifacio (52 km). In Moriani-Plage turn right onto the D34 and up to San Nicolao (6 km). From here, continue along the slope on the D330 with great views until you cross the stream on a high bridge between 2 tunnels.After the second tunnel on the right good parking.
Return: After the second (22 m) rappel directly after the road bridge left up to the road

Bucatoggio: Parking at Exit
Access: From Bastia, take the N198 towards Bonifacio (52 km). In Moriani-Plage turn right onto the D34 and up to San Nicolao (6 km). From here, continue along the slope on the D330 with great views until you cross the stream on a high bridge between 2 tunnels.After the second tunnel on the right good parking.

Viula: Canyon Start
Approach: From the hairpin bend on the track south to Ponte Novu, continue on the track until the path on the left is indicated first to Bocca di Violu, then later to Monte Stellu. About 25 minutes after the latter junction, at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level, an inconspicuous path branches off again to the left (double marking on the right and left on the path to Monte Stellu), which climbs up the slope for another 20 minutes before finally descending into the forest canyon in front of Monte Stellu.
Tour: Attractive in the unfortunately relatively short narrow section; the 50 m diagonal abseil could be downclimbed in the upper part.

Viula: Canyon End
Return: After the high rappel in the streambed continue to Ponte Novu, to which is exited to the right

Viula: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Nonza on the west coast of Cap Corse on the D80 about 5 km north, then turn right on the D233, past Ogliastro, until the hairpin bend before Ferragine (not quite 5 km from the turnoff).
Return: After the high rappel in the streambed continue to Ponte Novu, to which is exited to the right

Luvana: Canyon Start
Approach: First we walk along the road towards the bridge over the Travo in the direction of Chisa. Then, before reaching the bridge, we take the old mule track up to the left (information board on permitted and prohibited water use). Now about 50 minutes slightly uphill, then we cross the Lama. Another 45 minutes or so, then after a striking left turn of the path we descend pathlessly to the right down to the stream. See google sketch in photos for access.
Tour: See video and photos (also the Lama Luvana video from 3:40 min.). Some narrows can be bypassed. Repeated opportunities to get out of the canyon (preferably to the right). A then subsequent eventual search of the approach route is likely to be arduous.

Luvana: Canyon End
Return: The easiest and first possibility for an exit (to the approach trail) is at the confluence with the Lama coming from the right (480m old). In its streambed or on the edge about 130 meters up to the path. The last step is easy to negotiate on a rocky rib. The second option opens up before the first mega slide with subsequent free fall over 4m. The IGN map shows a path here that crosses the stream at an altitude of around 470m. It is questionable whether it is still recognizable today. Here too, turn right up to the approach path. The third exit option is after the step with the pithy slide in the upper part. Going downstream, we look for a suitable place to leave the streambed to the right (about 425m old). The trail then climbs partly over formerly terraced terrain through the "Niederwald" until we reach the approach path. This ascent on the steep western slope has the significant advantage that the terrain is largely free of maquis (verified by the author). The last exit point is at the confluence with the Arinella (395m alt.). On its last few meters, also pathless, ascend the slope in a fairly straight line in a NNW direction until you come to a path, which you follow to the right to a path to Chisa. Here, there is more than 140 vertical meters of maquis and, once you reach the top, you have the opportunity to refresh yourself at the Fontaine de Petralata. In the IGN guide "Corse" and at another exit option is presented: at the confluence of the Luvana and Arinella rivers, walk up the latter against the direction of flow and, after a few hundred meters, get off to the right (orographic. left), where an inconspicuous path leads up to the Bergerie de Purcaricciola. This path also joins the path that leads past the spring to Chisa. In 1997 we tried to take this exit, but failed because the first step in the Arinella (seen from below) seemed insurmountable, see also Google sketch in photos for possible exit points and paths.

Lama: Canyon Start
Approach: First we walk on the road towards the bridge over the Travo, in the direction of Chisa. Then, before reaching the bridge, we take the old mule track up to the left (information board on the permitted and prohibited use of the water). Now about 50 min slightly uphill, then we cross the Lama (entry).
Tour: See video and photos. The first rappel in the Lama is optional. 2 Turbo slides in the Luvana.

Lama: Canyon End
Return: The exit is more sensible at the end of the Luvana, i.e. at or before the confluence of Luvana and Arinella. In this respect, what was said in the description of the Luvana for exit 3 and 4 applies: "The third possible exit is after the step with the pithy slide in the upper part. Going down the stream we look for a suitable place to leave the streambed to the right (about 425m alt.). Then we go up partly over formerly terraced terrain through the "Niederwald" until we meet the approach path. This ascent on the steep western slope has the significant advantage that the terrain is largely free of scrub (verified by the author).\n\nLast exit option is then at the confluence with the Arinella (395m alt.). On its last meters also pathless up the slope towards NNW fairly straight until we meet a path that we follow to the right to a path that brings us to Chisa. Here there are over 140 meters of altitude macchia full and arrived at the top but a little later you have the longed-for opportunity to refresh yourself at the fountain Fontaine de Petralata.\n\nIm IGN guide "Corse" as well as at another exit option is presented, namely at the confluence of Luvana and Arinella, to go up the latter against the direction of flow and after a few hundred meters to exit to the right (orographic. left), where an inconspicuous path leads up to the Bergerie de Purcaricciola. Also this path meets the path that - passing the spring - leads to Chisa. Anno 1997 we tried to take this exit, but failed because already the first step in the Arinella (seen from below) seemed insurmountable.\n\nSee also Google sketch in external photos" for the possible exit points and paths.

Approach: From the parking lot, go up to Corscia, where a path leads eastwards towards the power line; pass the first junction to the left and later walk a few hundred meters parallel to the power line up to the height (898 m above sea level). On the other side, descending through the forest, you come to the old Ponte Sutanu (Sottano) arched bridge over the Ruda, where the entry point is.
Tour: Versatile descent in attractive surroundings, some jumps and slides possible. Also suitable for beginners.

Approach: From the car, climb without a path for 20 meters up to the old mule track; follow this to the right until you can see the Falconaia with its waterfall again at a small hilltop. Now follow the (sometimes quite indistinct) climbing tracks steeply uphill. Later you will see an electricity pylon at the top, which you should head towards. When you reach it, you meet the path that comes from the village of Corscia. Follow it to the right (eastwards) and down to the stream (entry). Caution: The time-consuming access and return to and from Corscia (as described by Hubert Ayasse - Philippe Dubreuil) is either an option if you want to combine the canyon with a beautiful mountain hike or if there is no parking space available at the bottom (in summer there is also a general parking ban in the Scala di Santa Regina).
Tour: Uninterrupted sequence of mostly slightly higher rappels. Interesting narrow passages in between. The C70 has a comfortable changeover in the middle. Some arduous block climbing towards the exit.

Tour: Starting with 4 smaller rappels between 13 and 26m we come to the C53. Here would be after about 16m a changeover, but it is hardly usable when the water flow is good (for this case, the C53 in one go rappel through).

Approach: There we take the hiking trail "Mare-Mare-Nord" into the Gorges du Tavignano. At the latest at the bridge over the Tavignano we get on. Here an access further downstream is noted in the map, because in the part above there are no special attractions.
Tour: see photos u, video; the tour is finished - so also in this description - shortly after the Ruisseau d'Antica (also a later exit is possible at any time).

Return: Here, go out to the left and follow the path until you reach the approach path. Return to the car along this path.

Stollu: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot in a southerly direction up through the village we come to the chapel of St. Antoine. Passing it on the left, we pass a water tank and then a small dam with a washhouse on the left. Following the mule track we pass another small dam at 445 m above sea level. Here the path bends in a westerly direction, then describes a slight arc in a WSW direction. At 588m a.s.l. we take the path to the right (key point in the access!), which leads us at about the same altitude along the slope to the stream.
Tour: A few rappels, in between runs and passages to downclimb. Then the higher final rappel in en large pool (Piscinala à l'Aiolo). The intermediate belay at this C42 is on the upper right in a slippery chute and may be difficult to reach when the water is flowing strongly. In this case, it is advisable to continue rappelling over the edge to a ledge below (plus 10 m or so) in order to tackle the second ledge (if necessary from the tree on the right of the ledge).\nAfter the high rappel downstream, we first pass the Nocio flowing in from the left and arrive at the confluence of the next stream from the left, the Campucassu. On its orographic left bank, go up a few meters; here a path leads to the ridge to the north. We go up this for about 20 meters of altitude and then take the faint track that goes under the rock walls on the right. On the following tracks, which slowly run towards the Raghiunti flowing below, descend steadily until you reach the river; then go up again, around a rocky outcrop, we meet a mule track that leads us down to the old stone bridge over the Raghiunti (Pont de Case Cocchie - 400m a.s.l.) Instead of getting off here to Sorio, you can continue down the Raghiunti in the streambed until you reach the road bridge of the D62 (about 1 hour). In the lower Raghiunti there is a rappel in front of a ruined mill (C9) and a short underground passage (C5 and C3) just before the road bridge.

Stollu: Canyon End
Return: From the Ponte de Case Cocchie you can go up to Sorio in a northeasterly direction.\nIf you descend to the road bridge (Pont de Briacale), from here you go up to Sorio on the D62.

Stollu: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Bastia on the RN193 about 10 km to Biguglia, then a good 3 km further, until the new road to Murato turns right. We take it until Col de S. Stefano. There we follow the D 62 in the direction of Rapale and reach Sorio 4 km after this village. Here we park our car in the square with fountain (365 m above sea level).

Pisciaa Spusata: Canyon Start
Approach: We walk the footpath to the Belvedere on the waterfall. From there we climb on the orographic. right side of the waterfall in a wide arc pathless up. There we meet the stream.
Tour: The rappel starts either directly above the big cascade (780m old.) or even 70m higher with 3 rappels between 12 and 30 meters. The 125m waterfall itself has the following rappels: 20m-30m-35-40m. The intermediate stands are on the left side outside the "beam".\n

Approach: We take the marked path (first blue, later red) that follows the San Eliseo signpost. We climb up to the IGN point "1102"/"U Pinellu". There we leave the path and hike downhill along the ridge in a southerly direction in the full maquis. Just before reaching the altitude "909" we can descend to the right and walk in or along the edge of the stream in about 25 minutes to the entry just before the narrows. Alternatively, you can continue along the ridge towards Punta di Propulanu. Before reaching it, turn SW towards the stream and reach it just before the narrows.
Tour: After a "run-up" with 2 small rappels, the C70 (10/60) awaits us. This is followed by the C74 with 2 intermediate stands in a passage between blocks. Another 5-7 rappels follow (usually from trees). In between also longer stretches of walking & descending. Finally, the Ruisseau de Carazzi flows in from the right (about 300m old.). About 15 min further we can exit to the left on a path (slightly above a ruin) and before the C17.

Return: At the beginning a bit unclear, the path becomes increasingly better in the course of the descent on the left side of the stream and leads us to a gravel quarry area. Here we take to the right the bridge over the Carazzi and thus quickly get to the car,

Partuso: Canyon Start
Approach: We hike back on the D69 to the northern exit of the village of Zicavo and take the hike towards "Cuzza" (orange markings). After about 45 minutes (from the end of the village), at an altitude of 1100m, we turn right from this path onto a trail that leads us in the direction of GR20-South. We cross the Ruisseau de Monte Occhiatu and immediately afterwards we look for an access down to the right into "our" stream - below a water drainage.
Tour: In the first half of the descent it is varied with a loose sequence of about 8 rappel.\nBut then follow about 1.5 hours of tiring downclimb and walk to Ponte di a Camera.\n\nAlso the further descent in the "Camera" is not unattractive at the beginning, but also ends with 25 min. of rappel and downclimb to the exit at the Genoese bridge at point "649" at the south end of the village of Zicavo.

Tavulella: Canyon Start
Approach: Now we are looking for a track that descends steeply in the NE direction to the creek. We should reach it a few meters above the C25.
Tour: Right at the beginning the C25 with handrail. Then another rappel (C12), the "rest" is walking and downclimbing, interspersed with some jumps and slides. At the Ponte de Zaglia the tour is over.

Approach: From the village road in a northwesterly direction up the trail to Bergerie Naseo. Always staying on the path (do not follow the red markings to the left!), go up until the path is level (440 m a.s.l.). You will find a small wall on the left, in front of which there is a cairn. Immediately after the wall on the left slightly up and later horizontally you meet the stream after a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Tour: Above the 40m drop, you can traverse to the tree-lined drop using a permanently installed handrail (2012); 2 x 20 m of rope are then completely sufficient here (but you need more rope for the 30 m rappel further up).

Approach: We take the - old - access path to the waterfall downhill, meet a small stream, climb again about 50m along a forest path and thus reach the plateau that lies above the waterfall. There we descend to the stream L'Osu and here we turn left to the beginning of the narrows.
Tour: First, some smaller rappel in the narrow part at the beginning (possibly also jumpable/slideable after appropriate testing). Then we reach the pool above the high fall. Then the high fall (47m to the first impact at the foot of the fall), which is mastered on the left at the edge of the ray. At the bottom still a few meters downhill over slippery rocks.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the wide marked path westwards into the valley. After walking for about 5 minutes, you will see a dam wall in the background. You could walk to the dam wall and get in there. If you like getting completely scratched up in dense undergrowth, you can do that. However, it is advisable to descend to the canyon to the right shortly after the striking path cut between the rocks. This allows you to enjoy the interesting final section and largely avoid the weedy upper section of the stream. From the parlplatz at the bottom, you can also climb up the orographic left side of the canyon and get directly to the entry.
Tour: Up to the final waterfalls, stream climbing with no gradient to speak of and almost no rappel. The final cascades are attractive and the climber can count on spectators.

Rio Buddidorgiu: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the road over a much deeper ford, then another 250m or so until a sand road branches off to the right. Follow this sand road in a wide saddle on the ridge and continue climbing along the ridge towards the NW. After a good hour, at N 39° 36.060 E 009° 31.819 \nein old mule track branches off (Steinmann, Su camminu de sa Contissa). After about 15min you climb over a gate and shortly after turn sharply to the right. The path becomes rocky for a short while and joins a crossing path on the plateau. At the crossing path turn left and after about 400m turn left again onto a slightly less clear path. When this path meets a jeep track, keep right onto a meadow. Here turn left into the streambed and descend in it (jungle feeling) to Rio Buddidorgiu. After a short fight with the undergrowth you suddenly stand in the 10-30m wide, yellow streambed on bare rock. Descend until you reach a large green basin. On micheleangileri.com there is a paid track, but the paths are also marked on OSM.
Tour: Swim through the pool and hike briefly to the break-off edge of the 50m waterfall. There would be a tempting root just to the right of the break-off edge, but we rappelled down a branch of the tree about 15m further to the right (this rappel would be very happy with a sling and a chain link). After this rappel, you can actually pack up the rope again - everything from here on can be jumped or downclimbed. Hikes and downclimbs alternate with jumps and small slides. The highlight is a huge travertine mushroom that can also be jumped (although the pool is quite shallow).

Comment: Parkmöglichkeit am Bach
Access: Coming from the north on the SS125 via Tertali towards Cagliari. After the bridge over the Rio San Giorgio, at a small bar between two concrete columns, take a sharp right onto a sand road. After a few kilometers you reach two fords, then a farm on a hill. After that it's a short downhill again to a good parking place by the stream.
Return: When the canyon becomes flatter to the right on a clear path and follow it. When after about one KM jeep tracks lead up the mountain to the right, either follow this and return to the parking lot via forest roads or descend in or to the left of the streambed until a forest road becomes visible again on the right.

Approach: We continue along the dirt road - also trail no. 109 - for about 1.8 km (25 min.). We come to a fork in the road and take path 113 (sentiero Piscina Irgas), which first walks over an iron bridge and then climbs steeply. We reach the plateau and have an impressive view of the granite basin of the Rio Oridda with the almost 40m high waterfall. We stay on the sometimes unclear path to the southwest and finally come down pathless left into the streambed of the Rio Oridda.
Tour: We walk in a kind of granite tub to the first rappel. After a few more steps, the high waterfall awaits us. Then it's back to walking until the last major step. After this, descend along the edge of the stream to the exit on the left bank of the path that crosses here.

Access: In Villacidro we follow the signs "Monti Mannu". This brings us to the Lago di Leni/Lago di Montmannu reservoir and we ride along its northern shore. A bridge brings us to the other bank of a riverbed. We continue along the shore of the reservoir until we reach its southern root, where we cross another streambed. After the bridge, we turn right onto a dirt road and continue following the signs for "Monti Mannu". We follow the forest road for 5.5 km, passing a group of hares on the left, and later a tree nursery on the righthand side. On the left we see the skeleton of a metal footbridge over the Rio Cannisoni. Here we park the car.
Return: On this we come back to the Rio Cannisoni. Next to the broken metal footbridge we cross to the other bank, where our car is parked.

Comment: ou á depart (descente)
Access: From Nuoro, do not go directly on the old SP 389 (southwestward), but follow the appropriate signs ('Lanusei') first on the southern bypass of Nuoro, on this 5 km westward, to then change to the new road to Lanusei. After 53 km (from leaving the bypass) you pass the village of Villanova Strisáili, slightly off to the left. Continue on the road, which is narrower and more winding from then on, for another 6 km. Then turn right off the SP 389, on a bridge over the river and over a railroad track. On the left is the Stazione Villagrande. Then you cross the railroad track again, a little later you take the road that branches off to the right (north). 9.8 km after leaving the SP 389, take the road that branches off to the right again (stone with map, display board). 4.4 km further on we cross a bridge for the second time. We take the small road that branches off to the right. After about 200 m it crosses a stream, where we leave the lower vehicle (if two are available). With the other one we go uphill. After a right and a left serpentine, a dirt road turns off to the right. Park the vehicle here (if not off-road).
Return: A few meters after the last rappel we reach the Riu Pirincanas.

After 53 km (from leaving the bypass) you pass the village of Villanova Strisáili, slightly off to the left. Continue on the road, which is narrower and more winding from then on, for another 6 km. Then turn right off the SP 389, on a bridge over the river and over a railroad track. On the left is the Stazione Villagrande. Then you cross the railroad track again, a little later you take the road that branches off to the right (north). 9.8 km after leaving the SP 389, take the road that branches off to the right again (stone with map, display board). 4.4 km further on we cross a bridge for the second time. We take the small road that branches off to the right. After about 200 m it crosses a stream, where we leave the lower vehicle (if two are available). With the other one we go uphill. After a right and a left serpentine, a dirt road turns off to the right. Park the vehicle here (if not off-road).
Return: A few meters after the last rappel we reach the Riu Pirincanas. If we have to go back up to the car parked above, we can take a path that goes up to the right in the striking left curve of the river, after the rock bar and the small rock gate (see last photo!), to the Bergerie. Either up to the Bergerie and back on the approach track or - past a spring trough - without a trail directly left up to this track.\n\nIf we have parked a second car at the bridge, we walk out in the river and then a few meters right up to the bridge.

Trolei: Canyon Start
Approach: At the eastern exit of the bridge, a dirt road leads down into the streambed of the Rio Trolei.
Tour: Over long passages river walk in largely open streambed, interrupted by some rappel.

Comment: nach Conca
Return: At the exit point in the striking right-hand bend of the stream, turn left up to an old mule track that runs parallel to the stream about 20 m above the streambed. Follow this downstream. After about half an hour you reach the mouth of the Rio Trolei into the Bacu sa Figu. Follow this river to the road bridge. In his book, Corrado Conca shows an alternative 175 meters uphill to the road. The car below would then have to be parked up there on the road.

Trolei: Parking at Entry
Access: Take the SS 125 (Strada Orientale Sarda) from Dorgali in the direction of Baunei. 15.4 km after the end of Dorgali you reach the mountain pass Genna Croce (906 m a.s.l.) - here the road branches off to the right in the direction of Orbisi. After the saddle, continue on the SS 125 towards Baunei. After 3.1 km (from the saddle) turn right off the SS 125 and descend in switchbacks to Urzulei (about 4 km from the SS 125). From the southwestern end of Urzulei we take the road towards Lotzorai, Tortoli, the one that goes down through the valley of the river Gurue (SP 37) and not the one that curves along the slope above Talana. 8.9 km after leaving Urzulei, we come to the bridge over the Bacu sa Figu. About 100 m before the bridge we can park the lower car. With the second car we go back a good 100m and then 6.5 km curvy uphill to Talana. We drive through the village in southwestern direction (same way as at the parking entry Bacu sa Figu) and at the last houses we come to the high bridge over the Rio Trolei. Here we park the upper car in a suitable place.

Approach: From the parking lot on a road towards the sea, a bend is shortened over a gravel field. In the bottom of the ditch descend a little more until you are in front of the first rappel point.
Tour: 8m from the left rappel, walk briefly and rappel 25m from the chain anchor on the right. After another short downclimb, leave the canyon floor on indistinct trail tracks to the right and cross a boulder field. Briefly downhill and continue traversing towards a high, reddish wall (above prominent rock towers). Here is the upper entrance of the passage cave Sa Rutta de Su Tentorgiu. Rppel 8m from anchors on the right (do not descend into the shaft), crawl briefly on the left and ascend briefly in the following stalactite decorated passage. Downclimb the following 10m step or rappel from one of the stalactites. Then downclimb again to reach the lower exit of the cave. Rappel 13m from anchor to the right, follow a rappel to the left and rappel another 10m to reach the transversal Selvaggio Blu Trekking 'path'. Left into the rock gate and 15m rappel or traverse further over wedged juniper trunks to the left and downclimb (Sardinian via ferrata). Shortly in the streambed reached again downward to rappel from the tree or from the stand directly in the wall 30m on the penultimate rock band directly above the Mediterranean Sea. Attention - do not rappel to the lowest band -> dead end. \From the rocky ledge you can reach the tourist cave Grotta del Fico - south through the cave (from the middle rock window 15m possible jumps into the Mediterranean Sea), then traverse over a fixed rope difficult to the cave entrance - in the high season the cave is regularly visited by tourist boats.

Comment: Ololbizzi
Access: Take the SS125 to Baunei and in the town follow a winding but well-maintained road towards Ristorante del Golgo. After about 9km the asphalt road ends, here continue on a bumpy, narrow sand road towards Cala Sisine. After 6.8km at an information sign turn right towards Ololbizzi where after about 200m you will find various parking facilities.
Return: At the penultimate rocky ledge, cross to the north. Where the ledge narrows, descend along a thin wire rope to a juniper trunk with steps. With the help of the juniper trunk, downclimb over a small overhang and over boulders into the bay. In the cove, pass a narrow, high cave and 50m after that, ascend to the left over a reddish, crumbly wall - the path reveals itself after the first 15 meters of altitude. Briefly ascend to the right, then follow the climbing tracks in an arc into the forest cove directly above the cove. In the southern corner of this forest cove, wedged juniper trunks help you over a smooth wall, then about 50hm of easy climbing until you are back on easier terrain. From here, always follow the stone markers to get back to the parking lot (path correctly entered in openstreetmap). Do not follow the blue colored dots to the right

Flumineddu: Canyon Start
Approach: We head NE, enter an enclosure by means of a wooden ladder and follow a battered track, later a path. It leads us through a side cirque of the Riu Flumineddu - at the exit steeply over rock - down into the streambed.
Tour: We turn downstream (to the right) and walk for about 90 minutes until we reach the first rappel. Now rappel, pools, runs and easy climbing passages alternate until the gorge finally widens after a series of pools (up to here about 3.5 hours around the river bed). Now you can see the mouth of the Orbisi carved into the rock above a shallow pool on the right. Here you can exit, see "way back". Otherwise we continue the integral ascent and pass 2 larger pools one after the other, which - after prior examination - are possibly jumpable. Then we come to the highlight of the tour, an "underground lake", which can rather be called a pool. You can jump into it (check!) and swim to the other side of the cave. If I remember correctly, there was also the possibility to bypass the "lake" on the righthand side. Beyond the grotto follows a rappel into a now again wide riverbed. We now climb mainly downhill and after some time we reach the Gola (canyon) di Goruppu, impressive with its high canyon walls. Here we also usually meet half-shoe tourists who have walked up here from the bridge where our lower car is parked.

Flumineddu: Canyon End
Return: Without implementation: If you do not plan an integral climb and therefore do not have a second car parked at the end of the tour, you can get out after the "inflow" of the Orbisi up to the right, comes to a hiking trail, follows first this, then the paved road up to Campos Bargios. One can then get the car (time required about 2 hrs.). With conversion: we take the path that, directly at the exit of the gorge, first climbs steeply to the left, then later descends essentially horizontally on the left slope above the river to the bridge where our lower car is (4500m - 100 min.).

Flumineddu: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Basically the same approach as for Grotta Donini and Codula Orbisi, but with transposition if you want to go down through the Gola di Goruppu. For the placement of the lower car we drive from Dorgali approximately 1 km on the SS125 in the direction of Passo Genna Siliana (hotel). Here the tunnel towards Cala Gonone turns off to the left. But we stay on the SS125 and after another km (km 200,4 of the SS125) we turn right on a small road. We follow it in the direction of Gola di Goruppu. 5.4 km after leaving the SS125, keep left at the junction, pass the little church of Nostra Signora di Buon Cammino on the left and after another 5 km you will come to the new bridge over the Fiumineddu (Ponte S'Abba Arva). On both sides of the bridge there are parking areas (for at least 6 cars). Even 20m after the bridge we can still park the car for the exit. With the second car we go back to the SS125 and on this road then a good 17 km up to the Passo del Gennargentu (hotel). After the mountain pass continue for another 5.5 km to Genna Croce (900m OD - bar). Here an asphalt road, already dilapidated at the beginning, branches off to the right. Follow this road under rock walls until you reach a plateau. Here keep right and drive north on a sand road. The road is just passable with normal vehicles - but the bottom plate should not be too deep. A destroyed bridge has to be bypassed in the streambed. A few kilometers further we see a fenced off building on the right - Campos Bargios (990m a.s.l.) - 10 km from Genna Croce. Here we take the dirt road to the left past the mud hole heading SE downhill (steep in parts but paved). 1 km after Campos Bargios we come to a clearing ("Sa Gambilonga"). Here we park the second car.

Approach: We follow the signposts to the remains of the Nuragic village of Sos Carros. After Sos Carros, we follow the gravel road for a few meters and look for tracks and cairns to guide us south of the ditch coming down from above. If we don't find them or lose them again during the ascent, we keep heading west up the karstic slope. At an altitude of between 350m above sea level and 400m above sea level, we come across a relatively clear path coming from the right and heading uphill to the left (SSW). We follow it, pass a shepherd's hut and finally reach a ridge. We now descend on the other side and turn left downhill in the wide valley we have now reached. At a fork, we stay left and reach the entry point. If you shy away from the pathless ascent at the beginning, you can follow the slope that leads north from the parking lot. After 1400m, a slope branches off to the left uphill, which we follow. 260m above sea level, we come to a house, where the slope exits, but continues on a path that crosses the slope in a southerly direction, slightly uphill. This is the same path that we tried to reach without a path from the Nuraghe settlement upwards. This path and the subsequent ascent are clearly marked on Nop's riding and hiking map of the island, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Internet. In this map section - to be found here under photos - I have also marked my suggested approach (red dashed line, corresponds to the sketch in the book by Jourdan/Fiorina) and that of Corrado Conca (blue-green dashed line - to be found in his book).
Tour: At the beginning, the descent is downhill over natural rock. After the first rappel, you come to the edge of a pool, which can be climbed around - as can all the following ones. There are a total of 13 rappels on the varied descent. In the lowest third, a path leads off to the right to a very interesting via ferrata - Via Ferrata di Badde Pentumas C/D (see weblinks) Additional time required approx. 75min

Access: Coming from Nuoro or Oliena, turn right off the SP46 for 4.3 km from the point where the eastern exit from Oliena joins the ring road and continue for 2.4 km to the Su Cologone spring. About 200m before reaching the large parking lot, turn right into the Valle di Lanaitto. This is followed by an ascent on a narrow tarred road, which later turns into a gravel road. After 4.4 km we come to a Y-junction. Both branches of the road lead to the destination, the one on the left is busier and in slightly better condition. We follow the signs for "Su Oche" and 2.7 km after the junction we come to a house where tickets for the surrounding caves and archaeological sites are sold. Sights are sold. We park the car in the large parking lot.

Caddaris: Canyon Start
Approach: Take the slope behind the iron gate, after 50 m in the first left bend turn right and on a dirt road to the opening meadow. Keeping to the right (north) on this, descend over the fence to the streambed (rope in if necessary).
Tour: A few small rappels, with longer sections in between, partly on solid basalt rock. After reaching the Flumineddu, it is a good idea to first walk downhill to the attractive passage where the Flumineddu flows between white limestone walls. Turn back at the base of the reservoir.

Caddaris: Canyon End
Comment: possible de continuer quelques cents metres dans Flumineddu vers la-bas et retour (descente)
Return: It was not easy to find in the past. After the mouth of the Caddari in the Flumineddu, walk uphill for approx. 700 m to the next side valley cut in the eastern flank (Riu Stiporo). Ascend in the streambed of the side stream. Sometimes. the streambed of the Stiporo was not clearly recognizable from the Fiumineddu, because the water disappears under gravel banks at the edge of the Flumineddu and there is no visible indentation of the streambed. The path climbed up to below the rock face. Here you had to cross to the right (southwards) to the rocky ridge and on this or in the hollow behind it up to the plateau. Here you meet a dirt road and follow this, and later the adjoining slope, back to the iron gate. At Corrado Conca (ibid.) there is an alternative shuttle. Then there was apparently also an easier to find and shorter exit at the exit of the canyon on the right: (my knowledge of Italian is not sufficient for a precise translation). This is all history now that a track has been laid down to the Flumineddu, apparently to take the transported gravel out of the Flumineddu before it fills the reservoir. This track starts about 1 km downstream from the mouth of the Caddaris and goes up to the right. This is an easy and relatively pleasant way up to the tarred road. If a second car is available and the condition of the track is suitable for driving on, you could drive the second car down the track for the exit, possibly even as far as Flumineddu (see location map in the "Photo gallery"). On the maps, the exit from the Fiumineddu is in the reservoir, but it should rarely be filled at this point. If it is, as in the photo of one of my ascents (see gallery), then just wade and swim to the exit on the slope.

Caddaris: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the southwestern ring road around Dorgali, turn west directly at the supermarket 'Beretti', pass the cemetery and keep going slightly downhill until you reach the bridge over the Caddaris. About 50 m further on, in the widening of a left-hand bend, park the car on the right-hand side of the road.
Return: It was not easy to find in the past. After the mouth of the Caddari in the Flumineddu, walk uphill for approx. 700 m to the next side valley cut in the eastern flank (Riu Stiporo). Ascend in the streambed of the side stream.

About 50 m further on, in the widening of a left-hand bend, park the car on the right-hand side of the road.

Fium Orbu: Canyon Start
Approach: Down the path, then straight ahead over the Regalo side stream. Now follow the path along the orographic left bank of the Flius until an easy access route opens up.
Tour: First there are a few slides and jumps (which can also be repeated), followed by an increasingly tiring river walk in the "Defilé de Strette", which can be ended in many places, at the latest 200m before the bridge at the root of the Sampolo reservoir. The entire route should only be walked at low water in midsummer.

Fium Orbu: Parking at Entry
Comment: beim Y-Baum
Access: On the Ghisoni - Ghisonaccia road (D344). 2.2 km after the center of Ghisoni (town hall) we come to the Y-tree on the right of the road - http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/4913016.jpg - and look for a place to park our car. If we have a second car available, we drive another 5.5 km from the Y-tree and park the second car about 200 m before the bridge at the root of the Sampolo reservoir.
Return: On the road either with our second car or One fetches the car by auto stop.

Approach: see https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/su-codulone-16480755
Tour: see videos; abseiling sequence: 6 -6 -12 (can be bypassed on the left, no anchor) - walking passages 8 - 6+42 - 5+45

Su Codulone: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: The same approach as for Bidighinzu and Badde Dorené: coming from Nuoro or Oliena, 4.3 km from the point where the eastern exit of Oliena joins the ring road, we turn right off the SP46 and continue for 2.4 km to the Su Cologone spring. About 200m before reaching the large parking lot, we turn right into the Valle di Lanaitto. There follows a climb on a narrow tarred road that later becomes a dirt road. After 4.4 km we come to a Y-junction. We take the one on the left. Where it goes away to the right to the Grotta di sa Oche (2.2 km after the Y-junction), we go straight on always on the "main track", ignoring the tracks going off to the right and after about 4 km (from the Y-junction) we come to a widening on the right of the track, where we park our car. A few meters further, the track crosses the stream su Codulone.
Return: First in the streambed further downhill, then slightly left uphill to the approach path. On this back to the car

Approach: Several possibilities, see: (via Riu su Codulone/Doloverre) (via Tiscali) (ascent near the stream on a hiking trail) The Su Piggiu de Predungianu (II+) wall ascent from the Codula S'Ozzastru valley is a beautiful but challenging approach option. On the sand road branching off to the southwest, soon take a path into the Codula S'Ozzastru valley. First next to the canyon, then in the streambed until the dry bed of the Badde Dorone flows in from the left. Continue uphill in the canyon until you can climb under the wall to the left at a cairn. Ascend in a left-hand bend and ascend on a long ledge through the wall. After an exposed slab, keep straight or slightly left and ascend over steep but grippy slabs. Cairns and bolts on the most difficult passages. At the top, descend keeping right and descend along small cairns into the Badde Dorone valley. After a short descent, you will reach the first abseil point (the path goes left via the Walcholder steps)

Access: Same approach as for Bidighinzu and Codulone: Coming from Nuoro or Oliena, turn right off the SP46 4.3 km from the point where the eastern exit of Oliena joins the bypass and continue for 2.4 km to the Su Cologone spring. About 200m before reaching the large parking lot, turn right into the Valle di Lanaitto. This is followed by an ascent on a narrow tarred road, which later turns into a sand road. After 4.4 km we come to a Y-junction. We take the one on the left. Where it goes off to the right to the Grotta di sa Oche (2.2 km after the Y-junction), we continue straight ahead on the "main road" to the end of the valley. A few meters further on, the track crosses a dry streambed.
Return: Follow the hiking trail out of the valley to the access road, short downclimbs. On the way back you pass the sometimes open Sa Honhedda 'e Sa Hessa cave. After the gate, crawl or stoop briefly into a huge hall with a light window 80m above.

Approach: A rough track starts at the location of the second car and takes us eastwards to Bacu Olcoe'. From the exit of the track, it is only a few meters to the streambed.
Tour: Down the streambed we pass 3 wire fences and then come to the first rappel (24m). Further down, we pass a sparse deciduous wood and then reach the final verticals: 20m - 25m - 20m (diagonal abseil). The final 80m rappel can be split (15m+70m) to protect the rope. Beware of falling rocks in almost every rappel due to loose debris. Conclusion: a superiore amount of rappels for actually only the last beautiful 80m rappel. Sharp edges. Not in bad weather, wind, rain as there is a high risk of falling rocks.

Access: From Dorgali we take the SS125 to Baunei. We pass through the town and 1.5 km after the end of the town we turn left off the SS125 onto a road that takes us down to Pietra Longa. After 3.6 km and about 260m before reaching the large parking lot at the end of the road, the trail "Selvaggio Blue" branches off from the road. On it we will come back at the exit of the tour. We will look for a suitable parking place, perhaps the large parking lot at the end of the road.\n\to move the car for the exit see Google map in the "Photo Gallery".

Muru Mannu: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the dirt road - also trail no. 109 - for about 1.8 km (25 min.). We come to a fork in the road and take path 113 (sentiero Piscina Irgas), which first walks over an iron bridge and then climbs steeply. We reach the plateau and have an impressive view of the granite basin of the Rio Oridda with the almost 40m high waterfall. The path continues to climb and walks along the eastern side of a flat rocky cone into a wooded hollow. Here (665m alt.) we leave the indistinct trail, cross the forest in the hollow slightly ascending to the ridge beyond the hollow (680m alt.). To the north rises a rocky cone. We pass immediately first slightly downhill under this cone on the left and meet here a slope that also goes up from below (GPS: 39°24'43.39 "N / 8°37'35.78 "E ) - 665m old. On the track now always in northwestern direction along the ridge or just below it, until it meets another track on the saddle Genna de Muru Mannu (GPS: 39°25'25.92 "N / 8°36'32.21 "E) - 761m old. Follow this road in northeastern direction downhill until the first leftward haipin bend. Here we leave the track and follow the faint tracks in the chute down into the streambed.\n\nAlternatively, we can stay on the path above the basin of the Oridda waterfall and descend in a southerly direction into the high valley of Riu Oridda. Here we meet a dirt road beyond the stream. We follow it to the northwest, change at a junction to the right to the orographic left side of the stream and on this track we also reach the saddle Genna de Muru Mannu. Then continue as described above. This path is perhaps easier to find and perhaps more comfortable, but the views of the other access are then lost (see sketch in "Photo Gallery").\n\nAnother access possibility opens also from the north side and namely from the places where you also approach the Riu Linas: (see also at the Riu Linas - description).
Tour: First about 1 hour in the streambed down, then 3 rappel (22-10-67). After the high rappel on tracks on the left slope down to the confluence of Rio Linas and Rio Cannisoni.

Muru Mannu: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: In Villacidro we follow the signs "Monti Mannu". This brings us to the Lago di Leni/Lago di Montmannu reservoir and we ride along its northern shore. A bridge brings us to the other bank of a riverbed. We continue along the shore of the reservoir until we reach its southern root, where we cross another streambed. After the bridge, we turn right onto a dirt road and continue following the signs for "Monti Mannu". We follow the forest road for 5.5 km, passing a group of hares on the left, and later a tree nursery on the righthand side. On the left we see the skeleton of a metal footbridge over the Rio Cannisoni. Here we park the car (see Google-map in "photo gallery").
Return: Here a little further down the stream, then we come to the hiking trail "109" (red-white marking) and follow this down the valley to the car.

Tour: Only 3 rappel (18m-7m-20m), but probably the only rappel in Sardinia over basalt. IdR water flow poor, so best after heavy rain. See video.\n\nMan can "attach" the part below the bridge to the sea, arriving at the sea would be the highlight. Ascent to the road via the orographic. right slope.

Torrent De Almadra: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the road along the shore of the reservoir until you reach the dam wall. From here, follow the hiking trail towards the Almadra valley as far as the tunnel entrance - before the tunnel, descend to the right into the streambed, which you reach before a waterfall step. See also If you join the trail from below, take the described way back.
Tour: The first waterfall is one of the most beautiful - 8m high and decorated with bizarre tufa formations. The waterfall is followed by a longer walking passages until the canyon narrows again and becomes steeper. Drops of up to 20m, with possible jumps of up to 8m when the pools are full. Exit at the 'Font des Pi' spring (open area with forest and clear climbing tracks to the right). It is also possible to descend further to the point where the stream crosses the GR221 (390m alt.).

Approach: Follow the marked hiking trail towards Santa Maria through a wide valley to the stream. Several karst springs emerge here, which soon plunge into the depths over a 25m waterfall, the Salt des Freu. Depending on your preference, you can enter above or below the waterfall. If the entry is below, a 30m rope is sufficient for the rest of the route.
Tour: The 25m Salt des Freu is followed by another 15m waterfall (both can be bypassed on the left bank) before a longer walking passages begins with a few jumps and slides (if not dry). After about 400m the valley narrows again and the actual canyon begins with a 4m jump into a narrow basin. In the gorge there are many low rappel/jump passages up to max. 15m. Exit after a 5m drop formed by a large rock (slide right or rappel left). A gate in a fence is visible on the left.

Rajoli: Canyon Start
2025-04-04: Small but nice with a great view to the sea. Anchors ok, minimal flowing water to the sea. Back through the canyon, there are a few fixed ropes, but it can be done without!
Approach: We take said road and follow it down to a large metal gate. To the right of it there is a crossing. We pass the houses of Es Ratjoli and come to the exit of the track (right view of the sea). Now descend to the left into the streambed of Ratjoli. After a few meters and some rappeling we come to the first - and highest - rappel. Anchor on the left and set back a bit.
Tour: After the 26m rappel, there are many smaller steps, some of which are abseiled and some of which are climbed down. Then you reach the sea, which you can already see after the first rappel. If you climb onto the rock shoulder on the left, you have a beautiful view.

Theoretically, if the sea is calm, there is also the option of swimming north-east along the coast to the next exit point - http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=7494622. In this case, fins would be useful.

Rafal: Canyon Start
Approach: From here, a path leads in a SW direction. We follow it for about 160m and pass the paths to the left. Then "our" path bends to the south and after another 150m we come to the streambed near the houses of the hamlet of Rafal. Alternative access:
Tour: After a few meters in the stream, we come to the first rappel (C3), which can also be downclimbed. This is followed by 8 more rappels - some of which are slideable or jumpable.\nThe descent becomes increasingly attractive and exits with a 20m rappel into the main Torrent de Valldemossa stream.

2025-04-30: Présente in some stretches minimal flow.....quite clean pools Return by speedboat by sea
Approach: From "Balitx d'Avall" do not climb straight into the streambed, but follow the path left. Climb over the fence and continue orographically to the right of the canyon, follow the gravel path for approx. 200m to an open area, here you can easily descend into the canyon (steps in the stone wall). From the lower parking lot: from S'iletta de Can Gordo, follow the path towards the canyon, go over a gate before the second gate and descend briefly to the left to then immediately change to a beautiful path that runs horizontally over the cliffs. Follow the path until you reach a stone with red color markings, turn left down towards es Joncar, the exit from the sea, slightly uphill to the right the path leads to our ascent, the Pas d'es Heura. Follow the path into a saddle below a prominent rock tower (short climbing passage below a rock wall - do not climb up under the wall on the right). Behind the notch, descend fairly straight under the wall on the right, cross the valley and hike towards a rock amphitheater on the other side (cairns). If you only want to walk the lower part of the gorge, you can easily reach the stream here by descending through the valley. Climb over a rock ramp to the upper edge of the rock amphitheater and follow the climbing tracks and cairns for about 200m until you reach a sand road. Either follow this sand road uphill until another road branches off to the left, or onto the secondary ridge that drops into the Balitx valley on its right side and stay on it (stone wall) until you can descend to the right over steep forest terrain. You end up in a mostly dry side ditch which you follow to the Torrent de Na Mora. There is a lot of disseminated grass and sharp-edged rocks - long trousers pay off.
Tour: The Na Mora is a beautiful and not too demanding canyon with some nice pools to jump. Since usually back up through the canyon on fixed ropes, it should not be underestimated in terms of strength. The canyon can be divided (1st part to Cala Ferrera) or further to the sea. The 1st part is very open with only a few narrows. From the middle (Cala Ferrera) the canyon becomes increasingly narrow and continuous. If the water level allows it, the rope can be omitted except for a few places (! only for the descent!) Alternating jumps, downclimb, slide and short swimming passages follow before you reach the sea. Mostly all rappels (12m,6m,10m,9m,10m,5m) are equipped with fixed ropes which allow you to climb back over the ropes (ascenders!) if the way over the sea is not possible. However, you should not rely on the presence of these ropes and take enough rope yourself. \Once at the sea, swim out through a narrow channel, then turn left and swim through two bays before coming ashore in front of a rock about 15m high (impossible even with moderate waves, so watch the weather forecast). Swimming distance about 500m. In the erosion slope above the rock begins a path that leads steeply and with difficulty back to the access path.

After 350m, we park our car for the exit where a hiking trail comes up from the left. 2.3 km further on we reach the bridge over the Ravin de Quarceto. We park the 2nd car here.
Return: At a huge rocky outcrop in the streambed, we can exit to the left onto a hiking trail that crosses here and get up to the road and the car. If we miss the exit point, the Vecchio awaits us about 350m downstream. We can soon see the bridges downstream. After the old road bridge, clear tracks lead up to the old road on the right. Cross the bridge to the other side of the river and follow the path up to the D723, then left to the car.

Comment: Jonction QUARCETTO / VERGHIELLO (descente)
Approach: To the left of the stream, we descend a little to the entry point. Then the C21 awaits us. This could be avoided by taking the access via the Bergerie de Piferini. We have to park the car about 500m before the bridge over the Quarceto. A road leads to the Bergerie, from there a path leads down into the stream (see IGN map).

Guix: Canyon Start
Approach: 2 possibilities: \n\n1. Either through the monastery complex (for a fee of a few euros, see - also - during opening hours: to the Sa Ferradura viewpoint and then along the wire fence in an easterly direction until the access to the Guix stream valley opens up.\n \n2. We park the car on the edge of the MA10 at the level of the access to the Torrent Son Gallard (450m north of the access to the monastery) and then enter the Guix via the first steps of the Son Gallard and a cross-path. We come to the cross-path after the 8th rappel (13m), if you include the rappel from the road.
Tour: See photos and videos. Abseiling sequence (Guix only): 8m - 15m - 35m - 30m - 7m - 30m -17m. The tour exits at the seashore.

Guix: Parking Entry and Exit

Return: First follow the tracks of the fishermen along the sea to the left, then on the Cami de ses Vinyes in a WSW direction, following the green arrows. We reach a tarred road, go up 2 hairpin bends on it and then take the path to the north towards the monastery, again marked with green arrows.\nSome maps also show a direct ascent to the monastery on the orographic left side of the Guix (including ), but it would still need to be clarified whether this path is also suitable for the return ascent.

Approach: From the bridge, the trail climbs slightly over the grounds of the thermal station up to the railroad station. Cross the tracks here. Immediately after the tracks, the path turns right and climbs gently and evenly up the slope above the tracks. You turn into the Fajet valley and soon reach the stream below a fenced-in water catchment.
Tour: The Fajet is fed by numerous steaming thermal springs and the water has a temperature of 55° C in the pot under the 2nd abseil point. (especially for 'hot showers'!). You can only bathe here because cold water is supplied via a plastic pipe.

Access: Leave the A-9 'la Languedocienne / la Catalane' (Montpellier-Barcelona) at exit 42 near Perpignan (Perpignan South) and a few km further north take the N-116 towards Prades. Drive past the town (52 km from the A-9) and after another 16 km through Olette. 4 km after Olette, cross the Têt to the orographic right. The thermal station of Thues-les-Bains, the starting point for the tour, is on the left and parking your vehicle here becomes a problem: either on the private grounds of the thermal station - only with the prior consent of the operators - or a few hundred meters up the valley in a parking bay on the edge of the D-116 (when walking back to the thermal station you can see the final waterfall from the D-116).\nParking on the D-116 is strictly prohibited in the vicinity of Thues-les-Bains! A recommended alternative is to take the 'train jaune' (yellow train). It runs through the entire Têt valley and also stops directly in Thues-les-Bains. In summer, riding in the open carriages is an experience in itself.
Return: After crossing under the road, turn right and as soon as possible right up to D-916 (lean part of the stairs against the wall!).

Approach: From the parking lot, continue on the road through 2 tunnels (left view down into the canyon). Approx. 50 m after the second tunnel, a 'path' leads steeply down to the river.
Tour: 4 smaller rappels, swimming sections, exit possibility before and after the high jump (5-7m) left up to the road. Possible jumps, underground passage. You can bypass the siphon on the righthand side, but if the water flow is moderate you can also rappel into the siphon pump and dive 30 cm through.

Comment: ausgewiesener Parkplatz
Access: From the 'Autoroute des deux mers' A-61 between Narbonne and Carcassonne, 21 km after the junction with the A-9 ('la Longuedocienne'), take exit no. 25 (Lezignan) onto the D-212 and drive in a south-westerly direction to Lagrasse (campsite on the heights before the town). Continue first on the D-23/D-212 upstream in the Alsou valley via St. Pierre des Champs and St. Martin des Puits. 18.5 km after Lagrasse, the D-40 branches off to the left (south-east) towards Terminet. About 500m before the first tunnel (over 3.3m clearance height), there is a parking lot on the left, partly under shady trees. Park your car here. Fee (2023) 4 euros for car, 6 euros for motorhome. Somewhat difficult approach and departure.
Return: At the last wide waterfall with a large pool, turn right and walk slightly uphill to a path. It first leads downhill, then left over the stream and side stream, then up to the parking lot.

2025-09-08: Way too long way too much swimming for me
Approach: !!!Attention the entry (Start 2) is on private property, the owners have no joy with us!!!! From the parking lot, go straight across the small meadow past the house (left) --> at the 1st signpost on the right along the stone wall --> follow Steineren Weg (first check the water level at the 65m waterfall. To do this, go behind the houses on the right via the small path to the exit) --> after checking the water level, continue up the stone steps through the iron gate --> at the next signpost turn right towards Giro V. del Salto --> then there is a fork in the path --> below the house continue right (stone signpost Maggia) --> follow the path slightly downhill to signpost 3 --> here continue left towards Giro V. Salto --> after a short time there are 2 houses (the house on the right has collapsed) (approx. 460m) --> behind the collapsed house go through high ferns to a large tree where there is an abseiling point (2 ropes around a branch with a ring) --> approx. 450m (alternative entry to the shortened descent. The access takes about 30 minutes) If we decide on the access at the water catchment, we continue on the path to there (about 90 min. additional). However, we can also take the path on the orographic left side of the valley to this destination. To do this, we do not go left at signpost 3, but right, cross the Rio Salto on a stone bridge and then take the path to the left at the chapel. This also takes us to the entry point at the water catchment in about the same time.
Tour: Start the tour below the water catchment at 745m with a jump into the large pool. This is followed by a long walk, with lots of downclimbing and swimming. After about 80 minutes we come to the 12m slide highlight, 30 minutes later we stand above the elongated pool, into which those who prefer the short version rope. Here is the description of the following last part of the ascent: Arriving at the Baum abseil point (approx. 450m), you rope approx. 45m into the narrow part of the canyon (Attention: make sure to wet the rope beforehand) --> on arrival you stand in hip-deep water --> a swimming passage with a small clamping block in the water follows --> at the exit of the swimming passage there is a small abort which you can first rappel down 11m and jump 7m (stand high up , traverese rope possible) --> after the canyons the canyon opens briefly (several large boulders) before it goes to the next narrow swimming passage (here a large tree root stretches and forms a small siphon) --> this point can be easily climbed over --> another short swimming passage until you are almost below the stone bridge --> at this point there is a bolt on the left which can make walking in the approx. 15m long chute --> below the huge clamping block you can climb approx. 4m can be jumped into deep pools --> short swim to the large boulders where the canyon opens up again --> after the last downclimbs you reach the final waterfall of 65m on the left --> to reach the belay safely, a traversese rope should be set up --> the excellent belay is on the left at head height above the chute (in the middle of the 65m waterfall there is a bolt on the right) --> a 70m rope is recommended for pulling off in large canyons (very nice rappel), It is better to tie a 30m rope to it to be able to pull off outside the pool. --> An emergency exit is left before the final waterfall. You can exit via the water drainage channel above the final waterfall. You can also deposit a 70 m rappel rope in the final waterfall during access. In this way, you can avoid having to change in the vertical. Our time requirement for this last part is about 200 minutes.

This also takes us to the entry point at the water catchment in about the same time.
Tour: Start the tour below the water catchment at 745m with a jump into the large pool. This is followed by a long walk, with lots of downclimbing and swimming. After about 80 minutes we come to the 12m slide highlight, 30 minutes later we stand above the elongated pool, into which those who prefer the short version rope. Here is the description of the following last part of the ascent: Arriving at the Baum abseil point (approx. 450m), you rope approx. 45m into the narrow part of the canyon (Attention: make sure to wet the rope beforehand) --> on arrival you stand in hip-deep water --> a swimming passage with a small clamping block in the water follows --> at the exit of the swimming passage there is a small abort which you can first rappel down 11m and jump 7m (stand high up , traverese rope possible) --> after the canyons the canyon opens briefly (several large boulders) before it goes to the next narrow swimming passage (here a large tree root stretches and forms a small siphon) --> this point can be easily climbed over --> another short swimming passage until you are almost below the stone bridge --> at this point there is a bolt on the left which can make walking in the approx. 15m long chute --> below the huge clamping block you can climb approx. 4m can be jumped into deep pools --> short swim to the large boulders where the canyon opens up again --> after the last downclimbs you reach the final waterfall of 65m on the left --> to reach the belay safely, a traversese rope should be set up --> the excellent belay is on the left at head height above the chute (in the middle of the 65m waterfall there is a bolt on the right) --> a 70m rope is recommended for pulling off in large canyons (very nice rappel), It is better to tie a 30m rope to it to be able to pull off outside the pool. --> An emergency exit is left before the final waterfall. You can exit via the water drainage channel above the final waterfall. You can also deposit a 70 m rappel rope in the final waterfall during access. In this way, you can avoid having to change in the vertical. Our time requirement for this last part is about 200 minutes.

Valle del Salto : Alternative Canyon Start1
Comment: Seiteneinstieg über Trockenbach nach Baumgartner/Br. Zim. (25m Baumabseiler)
Approach: !!!Attention the entry (Start 2) is on private property, the owners have no joy with us!!!! From the parking lot, go straight across the small meadow past the house (left) --> at the 1st signpost on the right along the stone wall --> follow Steineren Weg (first check the water level at the 65m waterfall. To do this, go behind the houses on the right via the small path to the exit) --> after checking the water level, continue up the stone steps through the iron gate --> at the next signpost turn right towards Giro V. del Salto --> then there is a fork in the path --> below the house continue right (stone signpost Maggia) --> follow the path slightly downhill to signpost 3 --> here continue left towards Giro V. Salto --> after a short time there are 2 houses (the house on the right has collapsed) (approx. 460m) --> behind the collapsed house go through high ferns to a large tree where there is an abseiling point (2 ropes around a branch with a ring) --> approx. 450m (alternative entry to the shortened descent. The access takes about 30 minutes) If we decide on the access at the water catchment, we continue on the path to there (about 90 min. additional). However, we can also take the path on the orographic left side of the valley to this destination. To do this, we do not go left at signpost 3, but right, cross the Rio Salto on a stone bridge and then take the path to the left at the chapel.

Comment: Zumindest, falls kein Parkplatz in Gavarnie verfügbar
Access: First from Lourdes via Luz-St.-Sauveur and Gedre to Gavarnie. As there are problems with parking in Gavarnie (overcrowding), we drive up on the D923 towards les Espécières and park our car in the Grange de Holle parking lot below the Refuge.\n\nAlso a conversion with access from the exit of the D923, Col de Tentes (2207m alt.) is possible. Then you would enter the stream further up (so at Plastic Visuel Canyon PVC 2 - Hautes Pyrenées. Groupe Spéléologique des Pyrénées, 2008, tour no. 14).
Return: Exit at the Passarelle de la Planette. See location sketch (red access, brown return). There are variations on the hiking trails.

Approach: We then take the stony path, which first walks to the right - in an easterly direction, but then bends to the north-west and leads to the bridge over the Copen. Entry below the bridge.
Tour: 7 rappels in a beautiful forest gorge. Due to the slippery rock, caution is sometimes advised when accessing the belay.

Approach: Above the parking lot, there is another small parking area directly in front of the railroad embankment. Carefully cross the tracks here and climb steeply up through the forest to a forest road. Follow the gravel road to the left. Two forest paths soon turn off to the right in a V-shape. Take the one on the left (this is also the way back). It leads straight on uphill through the forest and reaches a small, thinned-out section of forest. Here - before the wood pile on the edge of the path to the left (2017) - an inconspicuous path branches off to the right and then winds its way up the steep slope. Later, in flatter terrain, near the canyon, the view falls on a waterfall and soon afterwards the path joins a grassy path that leads to the entry on the left.
Tour: Sequence of rappels - usually from trees - in open terrain. The high waterfall (48m) is rappelled via an intermediate belay (17m/30m). The anchor should have been on the left of the edge - but we didn't see it (2017). Instead, we rappel to the right into the chute (2x30m ropes are enough - barely) and then down from a fallen tree. Depending on the water level and individual ability, up to 4 of the 8 abseiling points can also be downclimbed.

Approach: We walk across the meadow below the road down to the river without a path.\nThe literature now recommends access from the other side of the slope.
Tour: First in the streambed, then we pass a siphon on the left, now stand in a large vault and take the next rappel (38m) in the left chute. There is a lot of spray below the fall, so the rope retrival should work. The following 2m step is usually jumpable.

Approach: Here we take the GR 10, which leads in a southerly direction to the Gorges de Holzarte and Olhadubie. We cross the Gorge Olhadubie high up on a suspension bridge. The path now climbs to about 750m above sea level, then branches off. We turn left, following the "Olhadubi" signpost (GR 10 variant). As we continue, we come to the Pont - Brücke - d'Olhabie, see: Below the bridge, we climb into the stream.\nYou can also enter further below the bridge (roping in if necessary), quite close to the basin at the beginning of the great canyon.\nSee also
Tour: Great canyon with "run-in" and "run-out" (Holzarte). Watery, 24 rappels, underground "lake", no emergency exit from the great canyon, hardly any sunlight.

Saratze: Canyon End

Karpuz Cayi Kanyonu: Canyon Start
Approach: To the access at the beginning of the canyon: From the square in front of the mosque (665 m old), follow the little road that leads downhill (in an easterly direction). After about 250 m in a south-easterly direction, we keep left at a junction and after another 200 m on the concrete road we reach the blue entrance gate to the cemetery. In front of the wall, our path now descends to the right and continues along the cemetery wall to its north-eastern exit. Here we follow the path, which initially heads in an easterly direction, but after less than 100 m continues to the north-east. About 200 m further on, we cross a (dry) stream, and a little later the path follows a 90-degree bend heading SE up to a saddle where it meets a slope coming from the left (690 m alt.). We follow the track on the other side downhill in a NE direction. After it has been covered by boulders for a few meters, it turns into a path that continues downhill in the same direction through a sparse pine forest. After about 1800 m (calculated from the saddle) and a short ascent in the opposite direction, you will see a newer forest track on the right below. We descend to it - without a path - and follow it to the right (in a southerly direction). It runs alongside a larger, fenced-in clear-cut area until it makes a sharp left turn at a junction and leads into the fenced-in area to the north. At another fork, we take the upper branch of the track and (not quite 1000 m after crossing the fence) come to a ditch, which we follow - branching off from the track - to the right down to the Karpuz Cayi (melon river). The entry point is at about 360 m altitude. For access to the middle of the canyon: above the well in a SW direction between the fields to a boulder (N36.8153716°/E31.6961150°) that is clearly visible at the end, under which there is a cave with a prominent pillar. Good view of the canyon here. The descent begins about 40 m further to the left (north) and leads down to a rock slab with footprints to the cave, then through it to the right and now a good 70 meters in altitude through the maquis, partly along a streambed. Then cross to the right for about 80 m until you come to another streambed and downclimb this. At an approximately 10 m high drop, cross horizontally to the left to a tree, on which you then rappel 18 m. Continue along the streambed and at another drop on the right down the scree path in the forest to the stream. Here you can downclimb to the right to a height of 5 m above the stream and then jump into the depths of the water.
Tour: The upper part of the gorge has not yet been climbed by us. It begins with a narrow section and is already very aquatic here. More information can be found at Apparently there is an (emergency) exit option up to the village of Ahmetler before the second section of the gorge begins on the right. In the lower parts, no more ropes were needed in the river itself. Everything could be jumped or downclimbed from the middle entrance. However, several abseiling points were set up towards the exit. There were several places with siphons that could be bypassed. Sometimes you have to climb up to 2 m to avoid having to dive. In many cases, the way forward is not obvious! Due to the sometimes very narrow, winding passages, problems can occur when the water flow is higher. The last part of the canyon can be climbed from the canyon exit and is equipped with fixed ropes.

Karpuz Cayi Kanyonu: Canyon End
Return: After a final swim, we leave the riverbed to the left and reach the road bridge a good 100 m further downstream.

Karpuz Cayi Kanyonu: Parking at Entry
Access: On the 4-lane D.400 from Antalya in the direction of Alanya. After about 80 km we pass Manavkat. 13 km after Manavkat we turn left onto the D.695 towards Konya. We drive in a north-easterly direction into the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. After a long climb, the road descends again. Shortly before reaching the lowest point of the road (19 km after turning off the D.400), we turn left towards 'Ahmetler 7 km' and after 2.5 km we reach the bridge over the Karpuz Cayi, the end point of the tour. Park the lower car here (65 m old). Follow the tarred road uphill with the 2nd vehicle. You will pass 2 hairpin bends and shortly afterwards - 4.4 km from the bridge - you can park the 2nd car at a fountain if you want to access the middle of the canyon. To reach the entry point at the beginning of the great canyon, we continue for another 2 km. At a fork in the road, we stay right on the paved road and reach the village of Ahmetler. We can park the vehicle here in the square in front of the new mosque (N36.8255860° E31.6967230°).
Return: After a final swim, we leave the riverbed to the left and reach the road bridge a good 100 m further downstream.

Access: We drive north on the A-138 from Ainsa in the direction of Bielsa. We come via Labuerda and Escalona to the bridge over the Rio Yaga, where the Miraval canyon exits - 17 km from the center of Ainsa. We pass the hamlet of Hospital and 450 m after the bridge over the Rio Yaga we turn left at an acute angle uphill towards Tella, Revilla. We drive steadily uphill, leave the turn-off to Tella on the right after 5.7 km, continue towards Revilla and after a further 4.9 km come to a sharp right-hand bend, on the left-hand edge of which there is a large open space to park our car.
Return: Left out onto the footpath and over Revilla down to the car

It leads up to the Puerto de Bujaruelo border saddle and further down on the French side into the Gavarnie. At an altitude of 1630 m, below a pylon, the path branches off, we turn left and after another 160 meters we reach the stream (entry).
Tour: About 15 rappels, at the top in a kind of gorge, then down over long wide ramps.

Access: We drive from Ainsa (town center) on the N-260 to Broto for 40.3 km to the bridge over the Rio Ara. From the bridge we continue on the N-260 for another 2.6 km and then take a left turn in a northerly direction to Torla. We pass the town and 4.8 km after turning off the N-260 we come to a junction where we turn right into the Arazas Canyon. However, we turn off here into the upper Rio Ara valley and drive another 6.4 km to the Refugio de Bujaruelo. We park the car there.
Return: In the wide gravel bed at the exit of the canyon, we take the path that crosses here to the left and in a few minutes are at the old bridge and the car.

Approach: We climb up to the picnic area, there on a staircase, later on an indistinct path upwards. After almost 30 minutes we come to a small house ('caseta'). Passing it on the left through the gulch, you come to a water pipe, which you follow high above the Almanchares until you reach the stream. At one point the base of the water pipe has slipped. A detour above the pipeline is indicated here.
Tour: Also water-bearing in midsummer, suitable for beginners and children.

Access: Leave the N 340 highway (Malaga - Nerja) at Velez Malaga and head north on the A 335 to Trapiche. From here continue in the same direction on the C 335 via Los Vados until the MA 125 goes up on the right to Canillas del Aceituno, at the traffic circle before the village turn right towards Sedella. About 2.5 km after the next traffic circle (south-east of Canillas) you come to a picnic area ('La Rahige') with a large sign ('Sierra Almijara'). Park your car here. About 100 m further on, the road would cross "our" stream.
Return: After the water catchment, turn right and walk through the picnic area to the car.

Access: From Motril on the N 323 in the direction of Granada. Turn right before the dam, then immediately left again after the bridge towards Orgiva and 'Las Alpujarras'. About 10 km further on, after a short tunnel, turn left to Orgiva, through the town center and after the end of the town turn right towards Pampaneira - Capileira. From Capileira, continue on the road leading up to Sierra Nevada. At the exit of Capileira, set the trip odometer to zero. Exactly at km 4, a dirt road leads off to the right at a left-hand bend. Continue on this road for 2.5 km until you reach a bridge over the Barranco Bermejo. We can park the car at the bridge, but it makes sense to continue for a good 100 m and then turn right at an acute angle to the "Area Recreativa Pórtugos", a picnic area with a fountain.
Return: After the last waterfall, turn left on the path up to the picnic area. See wikiloc under Links for the exit and return route when walking the entire length.

Comment: nordöstlich der Brücke
Approach: From the parking lot on tracks a few meters up to the bridge and there right down to the stream.\nAccess upper Bermejo: from the parking lot at the road bridge orographically right bank on well-trodden paths up the stream to the uppermost waterfall. Duration approx. 15 minutes. After the 8 m steps (to be abseiled down) after the overhanging waterfall, turn left out of the stream and walk along the stream to the confluence with the Jabalí. There re-enter the streambed to join the narrow canyon of the Bermejo. Duration of the upper part: 0.5 hours. The Bermejo can also be walked further after the narrow canyon (Tajo de Cortes), see description at Caracal.
Tour: 5 rappels in the Tajo de Cortes narrow section, 14 in total. Very short but spectacular and very narrow gorge section. From the bridge at the entry point, you can check the water level and assess whether you are confident enough to tackle the tour, which is not very difficult at low water levels and the water is relatively cold due to the altitude. Above the narrow canyon Tajo de Cortes, which begins at the road bridge, there are three more waterfalls (18 m, 8 m, 18 m); the last one is free-hanging and can be rappelled completely in the water. Also above the Jabali bridge, see description there. Access to this area is now prohibited.

Seisenberg Klamm: Canyon Start
Approach: From the upper parking lot, follow the hiking trail towards the gorge and stay left at every fork. You can walk down to the stream at any time, but it is recommended that you only do so at the small (2 meter) waterfall just before the wooden bridge. From the lower parking lot you can walk up the footbridge (through the ticket office).
Tour: From the small waterfall, slide down to the right onto a dry stone. After about another 50 meters, you can jump to the left. After this, there are steel cable belays to the left and right, although it is recommended that you take the footbridge here. Where the footbridge crosses the stream, at the beginning of the dark gorge, you can rappel to the left or right. There is a "washing machine" below the abseiling point, which looks impressive, but you can slide into it. Shortly afterwards, there is a fixed rope that you should climb up on the left, then slide or jump. The following "slide" in the main current is sometimes backwards, so it is better to climb back up to the left and slide down. After a short swim and climb, you come out of the dark gorge. It is best to follow the footbridge for about a hundred meters to the next jump, as there is a risk of falling rocks. The last part consists more of walking and climbing with a slide in between until you reach the final section: a siphon is finally on the right, followed shortly afterwards by a slide or rappel on the right depending on the water level, otherwise an access slide or rappel on the left is also possible.

Seisenberg Klamm: Canyon End
Return: The exit point is relatively clear. As soon as you get to the wooden dam, you go back onto the footbridge. Depending on where the car is parked, you either go up or down from the footbridge.

Access: On the highway from Málaga, take the first exit to Nerja and drive into the town. At the traffic circle after the bus station, follow the main road diagonally to the left and then turn left at the second traffic circle into C/. Romero at the second roundabout. Now continue straight ahead over several crossroads until the road turns left because it has reached a slope. A road to the right now leads down this slope into the valley of the Río Chillar. Follow the path along the river bed until you reach the quarry.

Chortales: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the track to the stream. The canyon begins at a small spring.
Tour: 4 rappels. The Barranco de las Chortales is a delight with its tufa formations (especially the final waterfall).

Chortales: Canyon End
Return: Unless you want to combine the Barrancos de las Chortales and - de Funes or - de Madronales and the Bco. de las Chorreras (Rio Verde) (altogether an easy all-day tour), after the final waterfall you take the aforementioned dirt road uphill (2.7 km) to the tarred road where the car is parked.

Comment: Deuxième départ (descente)
Approach: Enter the power station area (legally) through the iron door and walk along the road to the large downpipe. Follow the road uphill until you reach a footpath immediately after the fence around the power station, which you follow to the right. It then leads you along the orographic right bank of the Guadiaro (upstream) and after about 20 minutes you cross a streambed (excess water from the canal leading to the power station is sometimes discharged into the Guadiaro here). Continue along the river, bypassing the first 3 tunnels (the last one with an adjoining gallery) and after crossing a boulder field (about 50 min from the power station), continue down close to the river until you reach the slope, which you follow up to the saddle on faint climbing tracks (1 hour 15 min from the power station). This way we avoid the fourth (long) tunnel. Beyond the saddle, we descend to the railroad track and immediately before the track descend to the right into the river bed. Just because it is historically interesting, here is the earlier access description (2002) in the form of an individually designed anecdote(pn): 'The access described here is officially forbidden, but at 45 minutes it is the shortest. It leads over the tracks of the Algeciras - Granada railroad line and through four tunnels, the last of which is 800 m long. There is a fine of 505 to 1010 EUR for trespassing on the railroad tracks. However, experience shows that almost everyone - hikers and gorge walkers - do it this way, and it is advisable to go at the weekend as there are no freight trains. The timetables for the trains (at least the passenger trains) can be found on the Internet at www.renfe.es for the Algeciras - Granada line at Gaucín station.from the parking lot by the shed up to the railroad line and on the gravel eastwards towards the canyon. The first tunnels are short and accessible without a flashlight. The last one is 800 m long, straight as a die, but impossible without a torch. The trains do not always announce themselves by horn. In the event of an encounter with a train in the tunnel, you can lie on the ground pressed up against the tunnel wall like a reptile and let the train pass without any problems. However, it is said that the train drivers report their discovery to the Guardia Civil. In such a case, an alternative exit is recommended, which is described below.After three shorter tunnels, you first cross a gallery open to the right and then directly afterwards the fourth 800 m long tunnel. Back in the open, you will see a dilapidated shed further ahead. Shortly before this, you can descend behind the wall next to the track to the canyon (45 min. from the car).immediately after the exit of the fourth canyon, you will see a path on the right that leads downstream to a bridge in the canyon. Here you have an impressive view of the gorge floor and the tour ahead. If you are looking for an alternative access route, you will find several (including a modest shuttle) at
Tour: In the canyon, you have to swim long distances past fantastically washed-out pools. Occasionally you have the impression of swimming in a cave. The canyon can only be entered safely if there is little or no water flowing at the first rappel (I read this in a description in 2002). During storms, the tour can become a disaster, as a clamping block in the canyon then forms a dangerous siphon, which can easily be swum through in dry weather. (p.n.) Ascent Nov. 2002:Even with a stronger water flow (50 x 10 cm in cross-section), an ascent is possible. The water level can only be assessed before the long tunnel, as strong inflows may increase the water level later. The siphon is actually completely problem-free, as the water is practically stagnant there due to the width and depth and you can climb over the jammed stone if you don't want to dive through.6 m rappel is most likely to cause problems, as the water channel narrows to approx. 40-50 cm here (see cross-section above!) and then curves into a narrow chute under a clamping stone. You then have to take a pike jump through the waterfall so that you don't get 'stuck' in the return flow behind the waterfall. we swam out to the E-Werk due to sufficient water flow, but were in the river for around 5 hours, probably also because we got in further upstream. the water was quite dirty, but is clean when there is no water flow.

Return: After the exit of the canyon, you cross a boulder jam. You then swim through a channel with fresh water (fed by a spring; a rewarding passage). After the exit of the channel, the stream continues flat. Turn right out of the water here and hike out of the canyon on a clearly visible path. Always keep left at junctions along the path and you will return to the downpipes and the starting parking lot.

Buitreras: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Málaga on the A7 or on the newly built highway AP 7 (Autopista de Mediterraneo - toll) in the direction of Algeciras. If you are driving on the A 7, turn right in San Luis de Sabinillas and drive north on the A 377 to Gaucín. On the way there, after Manilva, you cross the aforementioned AP 7 highway, which you leave at the Gaucín/San Louis de Sabillinas exit and then also head north to Gaucín. After a long descent into the valley and an equally long ascent opposite, you reach the village of Gaucín. Here you turn left in the village to the west on the A 405 towards Algeciras, but soon turn right onto the MA 9300 to El Colmenar. Before reaching El Colmenar, cross the Rio Guadiaro. 300 m after the bridge, a road branches off to the right in the village and is signposted Central Buitreras. Take this road in the direction of the power station (= Central de Buitreras), past plane trees on the right and then eucalyptus trees until just before the gate to the power station. Directly in front of the gate there is a small parking area for about 2-3 cars. Park here.
Return: After the exit of the canyon, you cross a boulder jam. You then swim through a channel with fresh water (fed by a spring; a rewarding passage). After the exit of the channel, the stream continues flat. Turn right out of the water here and hike out of the canyon on a clearly visible path. Always keep left at junctions along the path and you will return to the downpipes and the starting parking lot.

Approach: From the plateau, take the clear path down to the barrage and continue left downhill to the entrance of the Cueva Hundidero cave.
Tour: It is the longest underground course in the largest cave system in Andalusia. The dam - the world's first arch-shaped dam - was completed in 1925. However, the 'Pantano de los Caballeros' lake was not dammed up properly as the water flowed out through sinkholes in the karst underground. When it became apparent that the water flowing out of the passage cave was pushing upwards again, attempts were made - until 1947 - to seal these water inlets in the passage cave with concrete - without success. Nevertheless, in the course of these measures, which involved the construction of numerous suspended walkways in the cave passage, the first complete crossing of the cave took place as early as 1929. Speleologists did not succeed again until 1965 (60 hours, 2 rope ladders, 2 inflatable boats, ropes etc. - 2 bivouacs). The water temperature - numerous swimming sections - is 8-10°C, the air temperature 12-15°C. In the high halls you will find a rich and varied 'equipment', especially sinter terraces. The cave system is home to the largest bat colony in Spain with around 100,000 animals. The few and short rappels are already done in the first large hall (750 m after the entrance). If you follow the green arrows, which are also red in the second part of the cave, you should not get lost. Nevertheless, it is advisable to take an experienced guide who knows the area with you. Particular attention should be paid to the point near the beginning of the ascent, where a handrail (2009) leads up to the right. If you rope down here, you will reach a siphon in the water channel, which cannot be overcome either by diving (blocked) or above ground.

Jabali inf.: Canyon Start
Comment: integral
Approach: From the picnic area, we head back along the slope towards the bridge. After just a few meters on the main track, we turn off onto a side track to the right (north). We follow this uphill to a small house (10 min.). Pass the house on the left and follow the indistinct tracks towards the canyon and then always uphill on the left bank to the entry point. There are several options here: Either directly above the narrow section or after 45 minutes at the crossing water pipe at about 1880 m (according to the Internet sites) or even further up after 1.5 hours at about 2120 m, see Gomez/Tejero.
Tour: The Jabali can be rewardingly continued in the narrows of the Bermejo (Tajo de Cortes), see description Bermejo.

Jabali inf.: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Motril on the N 323 in the direction of Granada. Turn right before the bridge, then immediately left again after the bridge in the direction of Orgiva and 'Las Alpujarras'. Approx. 10 km further on, after a short tunnel, turn left towards Orgiva, through the town center and at the end of the town turn right towards Pampaneira - Capileira. From Capileira, continue on the road leading up to Sierra Nevada above Poqueira. At the exit of Capileira, set the trip odometer to zero. Exactly at km 4, a dirt road leads off to the right at a left-hand bend. Continue on this road for 2.5 km until you reach a bridge over the Barranco Bermejo. We can park the car at the bridge, but it makes sense to continue for a good 100 m and then turn right at an acute angle to the "Area Recreativa Pórtugos", a picnic area with a fountain.
Return: Exit at the road bridge on the left up to the slope, unless you continue along the Bermejo (Tajo del Cortes).

La Bolera: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car, go down the dam wall orographic to the right on a staircase ('Paso Prohibido' - passage prohibited) into the riverbed.
Tour: The canyon is magnificent when water is flowing or at least the pools are full. But it can also be impressive when dry. After the exit point indicated here, you can continue for a good 2 hours and walk through a second narrow section (Cerrada del Tio Pio) after an open part. However, this is only worthwhile when the water is flowing. It is not clear whether this 2nd part is the commercially offered 'Peralta' canyon. For an integral ascent, a shuttle is worthwhile if you have the opportunity. For more details, see the locations given. Warning: above the reservoir! A number of other canyons in the vicinity, each requiring a permit: Utrero, Tiscar and the 6 canyons of the Sierra de Castril.

La Bolera: Canyon End
Return: After emerging from the high walls of the canyon, turn right and ascend along the northern edge of the ditch running north-west until you come to a dirt road at a piped water pipe that leads up to the A 326. At the road bridge to this road, turn right uphill and along the road - past the campsite - back to the car.

Poqueira: Canyon Start
2024-06-26: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Poqueira Parcouru après Trevelez en 1h30. Joli mais assez discontinu. Surnoté à mon goût (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/c...
Approach: From the bend mentioned above, descend a few meters down the steep little road, past houses, until a path branches off to the left, which descends steadily in a north-easterly direction. After about a quarter of an hour, the path exits and you now have to find the best way down the steep terrain to the Poqueira riverbed. See also http://canyoning.wroclaw.pl/kanion.php?id=81
Tour: The Poqueira is particularly scenic and would also be suitable for beginners if there is little water. As the water flow increases, the difficulty and duration increase disproportionately, as does the potential danger. Harmless mini pools become dangerous eddies. See photo no. 21 in the photo gallery and here is the experience report of the person concerned: "Soon another cascade. The water flows through a narrow, S-shaped chute and then plunges thunderously into a pool. There is a height difference of about 7 meters, but the watercourse and the pool cannot be seen from above. I tackle it immediately with a lot of confidence. I straddle the watercourse and reach a horizontal point where I discover an anchor on the wall to the left. "Should I use it???" - There I go! The water sweeps me away with full force and throws me into a circular, deep pool. At first it looks harmless, but then it turns out to be the worst kind of eddy. I simply don't manage to reach the outflow that will save me: Waterfall - current - just past the outflow - back to the waterfall and pushed hard under water there. Second round ... Pulled up a bit on the rope, gasped for air, the much too long rope wrapped itself around my legs ... Round 3 ... ... ... Round 20! My strength is dwindling! No call connection upwards in the noise of the roaring water! I shout "Kehrwasser" as loud as I can again and again. Finally, I scream for help with all my might. Then I manage to reach the edge of the pool after all and with it, the drain that will save me. I let the jet of water wash me through the chute and out into freedom." Added to this is the threat from the barrage above, which is not just hypothetical, as the 'experience report' at 'actionman 4x4' shows (see above under hydrology). Contacting the 'Central Electrica del Duque' beforehand would not have helped here either.

Serra: Canyon Start
2022-08-26: Beautiful fishing canyon
Approach: We take the slope that branches off at the hairpin bend and leads us in a NNE direction to the stream. This is the entry point for the lower part (entry altitude 370 m above sea level). If you also want to take in the upper, not exactly overwhelming, part, continue in a southerly direction for a good 250 m after the hairpin bend until a slope branches off to the left (to Casa Henraux and Polla dell'Altissimo). Follow this road to the barrier (before the start of the hairpin bends). There we turn left on a track to the 'Bach' bed (560 m above sea level).
Tour: Hiking, downclimbing and rappeling in a largely open streambed.

Access: The small coastal town of Forte dei Marmi is located between Viareggio and (Marina di) Massa. Leave the A12 here (exit 'Versilia') and head north-east towards the small town of Seravezza (approx. 7 km from the highway exit). Before the bridge over the river, take the road on the left towards Azzano, which leads west past the center of Seravezza and up the Serra valley. About 1.5 km after Seravezza, we pass through the small roadside village of Malbacco. We then pass a large quarry (on the right). About 1.5 km after Malbacco, you can see the Serra flowing down to the left in a wide gravel bed. About 200 m after the Serra has been forced back into its narrow riverbed, a track branches off to the left towards the river. About 300 m further on and about 200 m before a left-hand bend, where the road crosses a stream coming down from the right, we park the first vehicle. You should take the trouble to walk down to the river to memorize the exit point (exit altitude 200 m above sea level) and continue with the second vehicle until the road turns south in a hairpin bend. Park the upper vehicle here (380 m above sea level).
Return: At the exit point visited (and possibly marked with cairns) turn left out to the road.

Approach: Take the Ludwigskopf path, which leads north after circling the meadow and bypasses a large rock formation. After the last hairpin bends, the path joins a right-hand needle at the edge of a meadow dominated by two buildings (Schäferei, Alt. 1753). At this point, leave the path and follow a path that is barely visible in the tall grass and leads horizontally under the buildings. At the exit of the meadow, the path continues through the trees and soon you will see a single house on the left below the path. At this point, descend almost to this house and continue horizontally on the path, which is now easier to see. About 130 m later, on a very vague crest and at an altitude of 1700 m, a steep descent begins (on a fairly visible path) through the forest. After 5 minutes you reach the first obstacle. The part between the path of the head of Louis XVI, which you leave at a right-hand pin, and the "plunge" into the forest at altitude 1700 is marked with a dashed line on the 1:25,000 scale IGN map. Note that after the isolated house, if you continue along the path (which gradually improves) too far to the right, you will cross a canyon (ravin du Vallon, altitude 1648), which you can descend first via the flank on the G bank (steep), and then at best a 10 m abseil towards the exit.
Tour: A variety of abseils between 4 and 30 m, some of which are a little watery under normal conditions. No swims, no jumps, but magnificent indentations. The time for the descent will quickly depend on your knowledge of rappel, so you won't waste any time. Some waterfalls are equipped out of the water. There is very new and less new equipment, several handrails that you should use wisely to combine speed and safety. Commitment Certainly. The extent of the route is identical to the Sauze/Blache route, but cut deeper, with no obvious passing places, even less road or intermediate parking.... However, on the cross-section of Henri Vincens' topos, a loophole is indicated on the left bank at the exit of the first third, then two more further down (not tested). Historical overview M André, July 1983. Notes Without shuttle bus: parking lot in Les Cluots. At the confluence, ascend about 200 m on the right bank of the Ubaye, the path begins to climb. In a few hairpin bends, you reach the hamlet of Les Herbez at altitude 1225, then slightly uphill to the right, cross the canyon of the same name (it is the well-marked canyon at the beginning of the approach), then cross again to the right until you reach La Grande Blache. With a cut you reach Les Cluots. 1h20.

Kotzenbach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, continue in the direction of Bächental. The road crosses the Dürrach and leads uphill on the right bank parallel to the Dürrach. Approx. 2.5 km after the bridge, a gravel road branches off to the right to the Stierschlaghütte (signposted "Lärchkogel, Tölzer Hütte, Schafreiter"). Follow this road for a few minutes (not quite 500 m) downhill to the bridge over the Dürrach with a dam below. Uphill on the opposite bank. After another almost 1000 m, a forest path turns off to the right at the 2nd leftward haipin bend reached here. We follow this for about 1.5 km and then keep right a few meters after crossing the second gravel streambed down to the bottom of the Kotzenbach. If you miss the descent here, you will enter when the forest road crosses the streambed 80 m further on.\nEven before that, you can already descend steeply through the sparse forest to the stream (to the GPS: Lat. 47.533617 Long 11.538069) directly above the second rappel. See also aerial photo external photo gallery 17.05.2017.
Tour: Running sections are interrupted by a few steps with a total of 8 rappels and a few downclimbs. The double step at the exit leads down into the Dürrach.

Kotzenbach: Canyon End
Return: Either walk up the Dürrach on the opposite bank to the forest road or down the Dürrach to the bridge (see Dürrach description).

2025-08-26: Never been in the Oules with so little water. Scale from the bridge: Just below the first borehole. It is an easily manageable amount of water, only in a few places can the water pressure become dange...
Approach: On the left bank of the Biaysse / Chichin, first follow the path towards Dormillouse. The path then climbs steeply in several bends. This is followed by a longer grade in a north-westerly direction, a leftward haipin bend and a fork at the next hairpin bend. Continue along the gradient (no further to Dormillouse). Continue along the path and follow the forks in a southerly direction (towards Gletcher, not Dormillouse). As soon as the path runs parallel to the Oules with little difference in altitude, you have reached the entry point.
Tour: Cracks: The oules become greased and degreased over the years. Some pools can be very deep in some years and completely fatty in the following years and vice versa. It is therefore necessary to check the depth of each pool before jumping. Equipment completely revised and updated in 2013. IMPORTANT INFO: The names of the obstacles used in this description (slides/cascades/protrusions...) do not correspond exactly to the names in the topos Canyons des Hautes-Alpes (Henri Vincens) / Tour d'Europe des Canyon (Caracal). For the sake of "clarity", the names used by these authors for the main obstacles are specified in the following lines and added to the names of this description; example: for the first T5: "T5/dc", "T8/hv", "T6/c", which means in the order Descente-Canyon, Henri Vincens, Caracal (Tour de l'Europe). The first part of 1.5 to 2 hours consists of ledges and small slides (T5, T10, T3, C5, C20, C12, and C6) where you have to be careful of the water movements. If you are strongly agitated in the slide "T5/dc", "T8/hv", "T6/c" (foaming tub and violent drop to the left), you can still escape to the right via a steep grassy scree just before "T10/dc", "T14/hv", "T10/c" (RD relay) (violent drop due to large current at the finish). This is followed by a small 2/3m slide and then a 4/5m jump/waterfall (RD relay/knot rope/required 4m jump/left bank drop). The 20m waterfall slide: "C20/dc", "T18/hv", "TC17/c" can be dangerous (handrail + RG relay). It can be lowered easily if the foaming jet does not touch the opposite bank (otherwise dangerous drop). Otherwise, you can save yourself via the RG (easy climb/3 m, at the height of the MC start) and then rappel 20 m from a relay on the ledge next to the rechapper. The next waterfall is no problem, RG relay (2 points), 10m rappel + slippery jump. The next obstacle requires a 6m jump into a pool (+/- depth/years). From the (old) menhir (very large boulders in the canyon bed) things get serious (incidentally, this is the last easy escape route in the RG before... many worries.... ). The second, very sporty part takes about 3 hours and requires great attention. You string together abseiling sections and a nice S-slide, you negotiate de-escalations that are sometimes "hot", and you reach the "climax", the famous "cannon shot" (geyser); a water fountain shoots up horizontally and forms a beautiful ponytail. On to the technical aspects; after "le Menhir" the 5 m high waterfall is jumped. The following "C8/dc", "C10/hv", "C8/c" can also be jumped, but the start is technical and slippery and you have to jump far to avoid falling onto an edge at a lower depth. It is better to rappel from the RD relay (2 points) (beware of the hanging tub, if the current is strong, it is better for the first person to rappel to reach the relay to avoid being washed away). The relay of the S-slide, "T3+6/hv", "T5,T8/c", is more difficult to find. One meter before the first slide, climb over the RD jump (it's slippery!... short ladder more or less mandatory) to find two points, sometimes under the vegetation, two meters further (violent water movements and second part to be avoided when active/ ankle bise...). The next ledge offers a small waterfall (1 m, strongly reminiscent when the water flow is strong) and leads into a hanging pool. The next waterfall is an RD waterfall that de-escalates behind a group of trees. After this, you finally reach the big abseils. A slide sends you directly into a new hanging basin (belay possible / 2 points above the slide / slippery access) towards the first MC with RG cable + RG relay: "C22/hv", "C23/c", rappel 22m or 10m + jump 12m. Here is the last possible escape route in the RG (fixed ropes 80m), in case you are tired, frozen or scared... You then reach the second MC with rope RG at the height of the overflow of the large hanging pool (have yourself secured if there is a lot of water to avoid a fall from 60m...). The "cannon shot" takes place in a C60. Not too much space and a wonderful photo to take. The wired MC leads you to the RG relay of "C21/hv", "C27/c" for a first rappel (slightly pendular) of 27m to reach the RG relay of "C25/hv", "C32/c" (right at the geyser, 10m under a larch), rappel of 30m. Then, at the exit of this fabulous waterfall (in pouring rain), do not descend to the pool, but reach a first micro-terrace RD by swinging, then find a relay (monopoint) in a small niche 1.5m below this first terrace. From here we rappel into the basin (still in pouring rain) to bypass an RD jump and reach a 2nd RD terrace (in less pouring rain). Start the abseilable MC "MC10m/hv", "MC D technical/c", (2 points), lay the abseilable MC (12m) to reach a micro-relay RD (4 quick links/2 points), then cross the C18 which follows above water. Via a slippery climb you reach the third wired MC, then an RD relay for a rappelling routes of 17m or 10m + 7m jump. This is followed by the slides "T15/hv", "TC4,TC6/c", dry to the right (2 points + 1 point + 1 point), or aquatic to the left + jump, leading into a large pool, then a 3m jump (rappel possible) into a narrow pool leading to an RG relay (+ MC rappelable). The "C20/dc", "C14/hv", "C18/c" can be problematic at sporty flow due to an RD choke + rappel at the bottom of the waterfall. It is best to do a zipline from the intermediate station. After that you will encounter a slide or a jump. The last waterfall "C20/dc", "C20/hv", "C22/c" (RD relay) also has a strong choke if the water flow is good. Descend RD and then pass under the waterfall by walking on the slippery ledge to a terrace and jumping RG into the pool. You can exit at this point via a steep path RG. As you continue through the chaos, you will eventually come across a C13 in a chute, RD relay (1 point), before reaching the bridge at the start of the trail. This last waterfall has a small hanging pool that is particularly dangerous when the water is very low (it turns sharply to the right and is encrusted over at the exit (waterfall)). Even specialists have been fooled here. This part is therefore not recommended, especially as it is not very interesting. Committed Relatively engaging until the "menhir" and then very, very engaging. Historical overview First ascent by Francis Elichabe and Henri Vincens. Remarks Need we mention it again? Les Oules are reserved for teams trained for "big broth" and rope manipulation... certainly one of the toughest canyons in the metropolis. Thanks to Henri for this fabulous opening. The water is very cold (06° C in September). Pay attention to the water level (which is checked at the bridge). Plan to re-equip the handrails and anchors as the heavy flooding and ice in winter tears everything away. Watch for water movement and pools that "call back", "choke", "push", etc. This hike should only be done in the fall, from September to November, because of the water level (except in special summers like 2003). In short, be more than careful. Even if we give you a lot of advice, it cannot detract from your own vigilance, as it is relative and can be wrong from one year to the next.

Approach: From the parking lot at the Pont de Chabert just above the bridge directly into the Drevenne.
Tour: Impressive and possibly demanding tour through the west walls of the Vercors (if the water flow is sufficient).\nThe water level at the beginning of the tour should not exceed 1 m³/sec.\nAll rappelling routes are installed in such a way that rappelling outside the waterline is also possible. To do this, however, free-hanging traverses must be made on the rope in two places in a vertical wall from the upper edge of the waterfall to the front.\nWhen the canyon opens, a stream crossing must be made from right to left and one directly at the edge of the 65 m fall from left to right over the slippery streambed. Make sure you secure the crossing adequately here (fatal accident of a canyoning guide on 17. 08. 2002).\nThe large waterfall can be broken (orographic. right after about 35m on a pleasant intermediate level).

Approach: A few meters back on the road, then a dirt road between forest and meadows descends in a south-easterly direction. On a flat saddle, before the path climbs again, an inconspicuous track runs off to the left (south-east) into the bushes. Follow this - steeply at the end - down to Vence and the entry to Infernet.
Tour: The difficulty depends crucially on the - usually quite decent - water flow. Although the stands are usually set up to avoid the jet as much as possible, access to the stand above the 25 m rappel is quite exposed. Whirlpools and rollers then pose a further danger. Video and photos show a low water flow! At times (!) a guide rope was fixed to the right wall, which could be used to stay out of the powerful jet. But then about 40m abseil length above intermediate level. Good to connect with Alloix.

Approach: A path leads along the meadow in a WSW direction to the stream.
Tour: Various types of rappel, clear water, some jumps and slides possible; you can almost always get out on the path near the stream.\nGood to combine with Infernet.\nThere is a prohibition sign near the village, but according to its wording, this is primarily intended to exclude the municipality's liability for any accidents. In addition, it was repealed by the Grenoble Administrative Court in 2001 (see descente-canyon.com).

Access: 6km NW of Grenoble, at the foot of the Vercors massif, on the left bank of the Isere, where the Drac flows into the Isere, there is a suburb of Grenoble called Sassenage. It is easy to reach via the D1532 (Av. de Valence). In Sassenage itself, at the traffic circle with the beautiful waterfall monument, take the exit onto the D531 (Route de Villard de Lans) heading west. The road turns north at another traffic circle and then climbs in 5 hairpin bends. From the traffic circle it is about 12 km until we reach the parking lot on the left.
Return: At the exit on the right, first climb up a small via ferrata, then take a clearly signposted path back to the bridge and up to the car.

Approach: From the parking lot we have 2 options for access. In both cases, the entry point is above the bridge. The normal access is well signposted.
Tour: Entry here can be made by jumping (9 m), but can also be rappelled. This is followed by jumps, slides and some smaller rappels. Overall very beautiful washouts, great canyon atmosphere but very short. However, this makes it absolutely suitable for families. The first two steps in the narrows can be bypassed on the slope to the left. There are also enough anchors and bolts to practise some rope techniques, rescue techniques and ropeway construction. The lower part of the Furon can also be climbed, see Furon aval. Climbing is prohibited between the upper and lower sections.

Return: After the C 13 and the adjoining pool, a path leads out to the left (signs in the streambed), which would lead down to Le Rez in 45 minutes. However, we do not take this exit, which would require a long shuttle, but continue along the streambed for about 70 meters. There, a (mostly dry) side stream descends in the scree on the righthand side. We now walk steeply uphill in the side stream, or better still across the grassy areas on its orographic right-hand side, until we come to a path. This leads in serpentines up to a slope, which we continue up (approx. 5 min.) until we reach the tarred road. Follow this road to the right for about 400 m back to the car.

Access: Take the N 532 running parallel to the highway from Grenoble in the direction of Romans-sur-Isere to Rovon. Turn left here and take the D 35 via St. Gervais up towards Rencurel. The Canyon des Ecouges is also signposted. The road first leads up through sparse forest and finally crosses our stream on a bridge below the 65-meter drop. Park the car here.

Approach: From the road junction head south down a path to the Pont du Diable (information boards), cross it and enter a little above the orographic left bank.
Tour: Short, but very rewarding. Several opportunities for nice jumps. A narrow chute sometimes blocked with wood. Can be easily connected to the nearby repo reservoir.

Approach: In Rodellar, follow the signs to Barranco Mascun. We come down to the stream, cross it and come to the spring on the right (orographic left) side. Continue northwards, passing the Bco Fornocal de Andrebot, where you climb up to the left towards Barrasil and Gorgas Negras and then, after a long stretch on the orographic left bank, you come to the point where the path crosses the stream to go up the other side towards Otin - La Costera path. We reach the plateau, may be able to see vultures perched on the rocky ledges above the canyon and look down into the abode of the wizards (Moorish Maskhun). With a bit of luck, the snow-covered peaks of the main Pyrenean ridge will loom on the horizon behind you. The path walks between stone walls at times and we come to 2 large oak trees. The path now descends and crosses a dry gully. Before and down this to the right we come to the entry of the Bco. Otin. Alternatively, we can also cross the chute and enter the "upper course", which can then be seen on the lower right.
Tour: 12-14 rappels, first into the upper basin, then into a relatively open streambed, which gradually deepens. Several jumping possibilities. Further below, either stay in the chute or traverse out to the left and rappel over slab. Finally, the penultimate high rappel, airy and possibly in a stream. The last rappel can be bypassed on the left.

Approach: See . So we start on the track at "Cadena" (chain) in a northerly direction. After a little more than 1 km, it bends to the EAST and we ignore the junction of a path to the left in the direction of Pedruel - "Camino de la Peonera" - and we descend into the wooded area. There we come across a signpost indicating the entry to the Peonera inferiore to the left of the track. Follow the path, keep right at a fork and climb steeply up to the streambed, where you can also open the course with a jump ("Badina Cebollero" near Salamero). If we want to descend into the riverbed at the next access point, we follow the aforementioned signpost in the direction of "Huevo de Morrano" to the south and after about 100 m turn off the track onto a not very clear path in an easterly direction ("Camino de Escaliguala"). We come to a saddle where we have a beautiful view into the canyon and descend here - partly on fixed ropes or chains below a rock face - to the river bed. We can also descend steeply from the large parking lot on the road from Bierge to Rodellar directly to the beginning of the narrowing (this is usually the commercial route). At the spring, you can then take a track up to the left and back to the car.
Tour: Initially walking, wading and swimming down the open riverbed, we pass several half-caves that have been carved out by the river. After about 1.5 hours - calculated from the 2nd access point - the canyon narrows. Then the access via the "Faja os Caracoles" comes from the left. This access reaches the river bed at the rocky chaos that immediately precedes the Estrechos de Tamara. The following Estrechos de Tamara are the centerpiece and highlight of the Peonera inferiore. At their beginning there are some siphons, which can be dangerous if the water flow is sufficient (several deaths have already occurred). Now the Peonera becomes a swim canyon. Where the narrow walls recede again, we see the Fuente (spring) Tamara on the right, where we could take a footpath up to Morrano and the upper car. From the Fuente Tamara, a footpath on the left bank (but somewhat separated from the river) would also lead directly to the exit point at the dam. If we continue along the open riverbed, after a while we come to a place where the water has suddenly eaten into a narrow chute (start of the "Puntillo" parts). Here, just below the first waterfall, you can enter from the right-hand side with a small jump. This is followed by varied flowing channels, some of which are underground, an interim opening of the gorge and a short final section that begins with a spring on the left. At the exit of the Puntillo there are various jumps. Here, too, the chutes of the Puntillo should only be walked on when the water thorns - as is usual in summer - are not increased (deaths have also occurred here). We continue downhill, hiking and swimming again, finally becoming somewhat monotonous and tiring. Finally, we come to the dam, where we can end our tour by jumping off the dam, following the example of those bathing here.

Peonera (inferior): Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: wenn wir bei der Fuente Tamara aussteigen, sonst nur für Zustieg
Access: For an integral ascent of the Peonera Inferior, we drive from Bierge on the A-1227 in a north-westerly direction almost to the bridge over the Alcanadre with a view of the dam, but turn right up the dirt road 220m before reaching the bridge and park our first car there in the large parking lot - 1.8 km from Bierge to the junction. With the second car we continue on the A-1227 to Morrano (4.6 km from the bridge over Rio Alcanadre). From here, continue for another kilometer and turn right onto an open area with trees slightly below road level, where we park the second car (beware, risk of burglary!).
Return: From the top of the weir, turn left onto the slope and then up the steps on the left to the lower car.

Approach: In Rodellar, follow the signs to Barranco Mascun. We descend to the stream, cross it and come to the spring on the right. We continue northwards, turning left up the Bco Fornocal de Andrebot. We emerge from the bushes and stand on an open plateau. The main path continues to the right towards Nazarre and the entry to Gorgas Negras. We follow it through the "Vallon de los Moros" and reach the "losa Mora" dolmen at the top, which is slightly off to the right. Here you may be able to enjoy the view of the snow-covered peaks of the main Pyrenean ridge. Continue in a northerly direction towards the ruins of Nasarre. Pass it on the left and at the last house no longer follow the track half-right downhill to the entry as before, but follow the tracks half-left, which merge into a path that descends on the left-hand slope. It brings us to the entry just before the first narrowing.
Tour: At the beginning, mostly flat pools alternate with smaller gradients. Then the descent becomes varied. Rappels (almost all jumpable), smaller passages in the souterrain and we come to the striking pot. If there is little water flow in summer, it is jumpable from the left from a crouched position, if there is a lot of water flow, it can be abseiled on the right over the 20 m wall. Then a narrow passage. A noticeably cold karst spring in the following large pools. At the right-angled bend, the more athletic part is largely behind us. This is followed by chaos, running sections, a few possible jumps and then the large pool into which you can jump from a great height. Alternatively, you can dive into the pool from the left-hand edge of the rock through a small cook under the large cover plate. Jumps can also be repeated here via this "path" in the opposite direction. Despite the beauty of the scenic landscape, it is now a somewhat tiring walk out to the large meadow with the spring and the poplars at the beginning of the Barrasil.

Approach: From the car, we follow the track that starts northwest of the parking area and climbs continuously in a NNE direction. We ignore a track that soon branches off to the left, as well as the track that branches off to the right after about 600 m (from the car) and one that branches off to the left about 100 m further on. We pass through two gates. After a total of almost 1 km, we reach the point where the track runs northeast away from the stream (Sikia). Here, where another stream runs alongside the Sikia path, we descend into the streambed of the Sikia and climb up the slope to the northwest without a path on the other side. We cross the rock bar on the left at about half height (35°12'24.38 "N / 24°19'22.16 "E). After passing the rock ledge, cross the slope in a westerly direction, keeping slightly uphill, until you reach the ridge (35°12'24.77 "N / 24°19'16.78 "E). From here, continue in a westerly direction to the saddle and then descend steeply over this in a northerly direction into the streambed (if necessary, rappel from a tree).
Tour: We first walk in or next to the streambed until the stream soon deepens and the sequence of around 13 rappels begins. Then we reach the Sikia coming from the left and after another 10 rappels in the Sikia we have reached the road bridge. 2x30m ropes are used to cross several swimming pools dry if necessary if there is no water flow.

Access: From Réthymnon we drive south towards Armeni, Spili, Agia Galini. We drive through Armeni. Approximately 10 km further on we turn right in the direction of Agios Vasinos Sellia. It goes in western direction. After about 10 km (from the turnoff) the road bends south and we pass (high above the streambed) the Kotsifoú canyon. We ignore a road turning left and come to Sellia. Not descending towards Plakia, but continuing straight westward we come after an estimated 18 km to Kato Rodakino. We pass through the village. At its western exit we see a small unpaved parking area on the left. Park the car here.

After passing the rock ledge, cross the slope in a westerly direction, keeping slightly uphill, until you reach the ridge (35°12'24.77 "N / 24°19'16.78 "E). From here, continue in a westerly direction to the saddle and then descend steeply over this in a northerly direction into the streambed (if necessary, rappel from a tree).

Return: Take the path to the left, at a fork on the left we come to the long-distance hiking trail "Mare à Mare Sud" and walk up this to the left to the road and the car.

Nura: Canyon Start
Approach: Jourdan/Fiorina now describe the Alpine variant of the GR20 through the Bavella Towers. Where the GR20 descends again towards the Asinao hut, the authors continue - pathless (?) via the Bocca Maro ("1634" IGN map) along the ridge and reach the next saddle before Punta Muvrareccia via Punta di u Furnellu (1899m alt.). Between points "1831" and "1816" you now look for the descent into the large basin, at the lower exit of which the canyon begins. Time required between 5h and 6h30min. Alternatively, there is a less attractive but probably more comfortable access on the GR20 (non-alpine). Here you pass the Refuge Asinao at the bottom and then follow the tracks that lead up to point "1816" below Punta Muvrareccia. This may take longer, but would open up the possibility of an overnight stay at the Bergeries d'Asinao (the Asinao hut is being rebuilt after a fire in 2016, but will probably not be ready in 2018). Of course, you can also get here via the alpine variant of the GR20. See also "Punta di u Furnellu par Tova et Bocca d'Asinau (07/2005)"
Tour: Descent begins with a C30, 2 smaller rappels and the C70, which is not broken. Then alternate stretches of descending and walking with 5-6 rappels (max. 18m). Then from the right the tributary of the Purcaraccia. Here now 2 more small rappels and a lot of walking and downclimbing before this tour ends at the access to the (lower) Purcaraccia.

Nura: Canyon End
Return: Either continue in the Purcaraccia (see description there) or descend directly on the access path to the (lower) Purcaraccia.

Approach: From the parking lot at the church, we walk down the road for about 50m. We find a sign pointing the way to Kato Vrisi, a spring. We follow it, continue past the spring and come to a small stone bridge. We take the path here.
Tour: At the beginning and over almost 2/3 of the descent, smaller steps - all under 10m high - some of which can also be jumped. Many exit options, including onto 2 traversing paths. The water flow increases. A section with higher rappels then begins. The steepness then subsides and we reach the mouth of the Krikelopotamos river and thus the exit of the descent.

Access: From Karpenisi in a south-westerly direction to Prousos (31 km). From here continue in a southerly direction. Turn right off the main road to Thermos/Lampiri, continue straight on towards Kastania and descend to the bridge at the exit of the Mavri Spilia canyon. Continue past the village of Tornos to Kastania. Here we continue - now on a dirt road - in the direction of Prodromos. After 4.5 km we descend to the bridge over the Platanaki. Now we head up to Prodromos, through the scattered houses and on towards Grana. Before reaching the houses of Grana, we turn left at a sharp angle onto the road that branches off to Roska. From here, a 4WD vehicle is indicated. We park one car up in Roska by the church and the second down by the bridge over the Krikelopotamos river. If you only have one car available, you can walk the 4.2 km from the bridge over the Krikelopotamos river up to Roska on the dirt road. Alternatively, you can look for the entry at the bridge. In this case, you are limited to the particularly attractive final section of the canyon.
Return: Upstream in Krikelopotamos (check the water flow rate at the parking lot by the bridge!) We pass the Schleier Falls "Πανταβρέχι/Pantavrehi" (panta vrehi = everything is raining) and arrive at the bridge and our car for the exit after almost 3/4 hours.

Comment: 550m elevation
Approach: Take the dirt road on the left that climbs very steeply for about 1.2 km to a picnic area. Take the wide path on the left, signed with blue marks, which goes horizontally into the Vatos valley, often running alongside some water pipes. Continue until crossing the Vatos. Continue on the left bank, following the faint goat path that goes up the slope, always signed with blue marks, and taking the pipes as a reference, until you reach a rocky spur that divides the Vatos valley from the Karaggiannaki valley. Continue into the Karagiannaki valley, parallel to the pipes, until you reach the riverbed.
Tour: (Upstream from the entry point there are other unequipped waterfalls, some of which have nearby trees that can be used as natural anchors.) After an initial 150 m long stretch with various downclimbs, you reach the first two rappels. This is followed by a 50 m long narrow part with other downclimbs and a nice toboggan. At the end of this stretch there is a possible escape route on the right. We continue going on the left orographic side, where there are two downclimbs of 10 and 7 m, to go to the right where there is one of 12 m. We return to the left for a further downclimb and for a diveable rappel. There are six further rappels, of which the third (8 m) and the sixth (9 m) are diveable, while the fourth (10 m) can be bypassed on the right. You arrive at the large landslide where it is difficult to orient yourself. Be careful of its instability. Although it can be crossed from both orographic sides, the easiest passage is on the left bank, following the course of the water. After the landslide you reach the confluence with the Vatos which you descend for 50 m until you reach an obvious and marked path on the right bank. Note that it is possible to continue with Vatos canyon down to the sea.

Access: If combining with Vatos and using a water taxi, see Vatos description for contacting Nicholas. Always following the signs for Pachia Ammos, until you find the dirt road on the left that leads to "KHMNIOTIZZA". Go up the dirt road for about 2 km until you reach a small clearing on the right, 100 m before the church and shortly after a steep dirt road on the left. Park the car. - If a 4WD vehicle is available, you can shorten both the approach and return by 20 minutes by taking the dirt road to the picnic area where you park.
Return: Take the path at the height of a large tree and continue uphill until you reach an oak tree grove. Take the wide, steep path on the right that quickly takes you to the picnic area. From here descend along the dirt road made during the approach until you reach the parked vehicle. If you decide to continue down Vatos to the sea try Nicolais: +306984508105 for a boat shuttle.

Approach: You can now walk down the closed tarred road not quite 2 km to the houses of Rabacal or take a shuttle bus (2 euros down, 3 euros up). From Rabacal (good signposting - 2010), first follow the Levado do Risco for a few hundred meters in the direction of Cascada do Risco; then the signpost 'Levada 25 Fontes' prompts us to descend onto it. We now follow the Levada 25 Fontes, cross the Rib. Grande and then reach the Rib. da Água Negra below the 50 m waterfall, where the 25 springs trickle out of the basalt below.\n\nAn access option is also available via the "Levadas das 25 Fontes" through the "Tunel do Rabacal". You must then park at the barbecue area in the third-last hairpin bend of the ER211.
Tour: Even the approach is a pleasure; after the interesting access (with possible jumps), there is a longer walking passages in off-road terrain before it gets interesting again - and stays that way. After about half of the descent, you reach the Levada Vermelha, where the Rib. dos Cedros joins from the right. Continue under the levada until it joins the Rib. da Janela coming from the left.

Gr. and, keeping left, follow the path steeply uphill until you reach Levada 25 Fontes again. Turn right here for a few hundred meters until the path on the left leads up to the houses of Rabacal.

2025-08-22: We have it from the bridge.some single point.some jumps can be made.some discontinuity between rappels.
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road for about 30 meters in the direction of travel to the gravel descent right to the stream (Torrente Resia). There used to be two wooden bridges over the stream here, but both were torn away in 2023. So wade through the streambed. Keeping slightly to the left in the streambed, head towards the canyon, which is already visible from afar. You will soon reach the bridge that crosses the Rio Nero. From here, on the orographic left, path 703 (signposted "Ric. Casera Rio Nero") leads to the entry point. The path climbs steeply at first and then runs more or less flat alongside the canyon. The last few meters to the stream are descended. You pass another tributary before reaching the wooden bridge/entry to the Rio Nero Inferiore (To reach the Superiore, follow the path (slope) uphill, cross a tributary, then enter the forest. The path initially climbs, where it begins to descend, look out for a small path that leads to the right after crossing a dry chute = entry to the Superiore) (The Superiore is less interesting except for a few individual cells).
Tour: approx. 3h Inferiore: The Rio Nero inferiore has not been known for so long. However, the canyon has a lot to offer for experienced canyoneers/aquatic fans. From the wooden bridge, you will soon reach the 1st abseiling/jumping point, where you should stay away from the undercut rock. You can also jump here. This is followed by beautiful washouts, short walking sections, jumps and abseiling points in the water. Despite some walking and downclimbs, the canyon remains entertaining right to the end. However, the currents in the pools and the short rappels, some of which are directly in the water, should not be underestimated! Superiore (1.5h): The canyon begins impressively and extremely cold with a beautiful incised section consisting of a smaller jump and an aquatic 16m rappel (emergency exit right). This is followed by an entertaining 16m abseil and a 5m jump. After that it becomes less interesting. Walk, downclimbs and jumps follow until the bridge (entry inferior).

Access: From Carnia drive towards Tarvisio --> turn right towards Resiutta --> in the village of Resiutta drive over the bridge --> immediately after the bridge turn right into the Resia valley --> after approx. 3.5 km you will see a gravel parking place on the left, on the right a sand road goes down to the stream --> park here.
Return: At an altitude of approx. 400 m, you leave the flat streambed and take the path left. You will soon reach the signposted junction. Follow the forest road already used for access back to the ford over the Resia and on to the parking lot.

Fafiao inf.: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue uphill to the north on a dirt road, passing two turn-offs to the left. We take the trail to the left after a few hundred meters (in 2005 there were blue beehives here). We climb uphill to the NNW above the Rio Toco. After reaching about 750 m above sea level, the path descends again and we reach a bridge over the Rio Toco at about 700 m above sea level (entry)

Fafiao inf.: Canyon End
Return: At 545 m above sea level, immediately after the first plastic pipes across the river, turn left and walk up an initially overgrown track (the slightly downhill track below is the wrong one!) to the car (approx. 25 min.). If you miss the right exit or can't find it, you can walk down the riverbed to the road bridge and from there back up the road to the left to Fafião

Ibn Hammad: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, continue along the road, then take the footpath down to the bridge that leads over to the baths, and at the bridge turn right down into the wadi.
Tour: Down the stream in the lukewarm thermal water between the narrow gorge walls. The canyon walls are rich in vegetation and sintering, which once formed a kind of roof over the canyon. There is also a 4m rappel that was created during a flash flood (can also be done by climbers without a rope). Finally, you emerge from the canyon into a wide bed of sand and gravel. Apparently you can also go down the left slope first and then abseil into the wadi (approx. 5m) via a water-bearing side gorge.

Ibn Hammad: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Karak, we first drive about 4 km on the "50" in an easterly direction. Then we turn north onto the "35", the "Kings Highway". After 7 km on the "35", we turn left again in a loosely built-up settlement (signpost: "Batir", Wadi Ibn Hammad, Rakin" and brown signpost: "Wadi bin Hammad Hotspring 20 km"). After about 2.9 km on this road, we come to a traffic circle (in the middle of a pyramid) and take the first exit to the northwest. 680m further on we turn right at the T-junction. After a further 2.9 km, a road joins from the right at a mosque. Continue for another 730 m and take the road to the right at a junction. We continue on the main road through the village - on the right we see a school with a mosque - and then descend steeply in serpentines. The road continues to descend steadily and we reach the wadi, drive through it on a ford and park our car on the other side. See: * https://goo.gl/photos/1FNGHc9sp45tjCke8 (access road)
Return: It's not worth continuing, so you walk back through the canyon. A visit to the thermal baths - men and women separately - is worthwhile.

Wöllaschlucht: Canyon Start
2025-06-21: The entry to the path in the village is a little difficult to find. Steeply up the meadows, then the path is recognizable. We accidentally followed the descent at the signposted canyoning parking lot...
Approach: On foot: from the parking lot take the hiking trail right next to the houses steeply uphill through the forest (wooden sign Sturmitz cross) (!!! not left along the stream) --> a little further up you come to a forest road --> here continue left past the cross and up to the asphalt road (high-voltage pylons) --> from here about 500m to the tree sign "Wölla Canyoning" --> descend into the stream. By car: from Wöllatratten follow the main road for approx. 1 km but turn left before the next bridge (small group of houses) and drive up the private road --> after approx. 2.8 km you will come to the tree sign "Wölla Canyoning" --> park at the small turnout.
Tour: The first place can be rappelled 3m or left --> walk with downclimbs up to a jump approx. 3m --> flat slide --> jump or slide 3m --> kl. hiking section with climbs --> narrowing streambed --> steep slide 8m (very narrow, right/left abseiling option) --> slide (jump) 4m --> slide 3m --> slide 2m --> jump 2m --> 2 slides 1. flat 10m, 2. steep 5m (2. can also be abseiled on the left) --> here there is an abseiling option. abseil) --> there is a canyon book here --> large boulder on the right with fixed ropes approx. 5m --> slippery passages in a narrowing canyon with small climbs approx. 100m --> slide or jump 5m --> after a short distance left. emergency exit --> rappel at the double waterfall on the left 25m + 30m in the pool (rope ferry possible) --> inflow from the right --> open part of the gorge --> short hiking section to the left rock with fixed ropes --> at the end of the tour you pass 2 scree protection walls.

Approach: Access directly from the road into the clear opening of the gorge. Optional entry into the Gorgette, a mini canyon that flows into the Wadi Bani Awf (for this, the car must be driven up to the right at the last fork in the road to the village of Bilad Sayt - 1.9 km from the fork). See map sketch and route description (no rappel, the waterfall at the exit is downclimbed orographic left on a path).
Tour: In the Wadi Bani Awf, first a running section, then some pools in a first narrowing, then another short running section in a widening of the canyon and then the rappel at the exit of the gravelly streambed. First 5m, then 25m to a wide ledge, from there 15m. Now follows the aquatic descent. We have made some somewhat delicate downclimbs a little more pleasant by using body protection. We pass the Wadi Bimah, which flows in from the left, and then pass the sinter "tunnel", the visual highlight of the tour. Then it's back to hiking and downclimbing. Finally, the canyon opens up, but only temporarily. At the exit, there is another narrow passage before you finally emerge from the narrow walls.

Comment: Austiegsparkplatz
Access: From Muscat, we drive west on the "Muscat Expy" highway. After about 25 km we pass the third entrance/exit to Muscat International Airport and leave it about 35 km further (and shortly before its exit - anno 2015) to the south on Route 13 in the direction of Nakhl, Awabi. After 27.5 km we pass Nakhl and after another 36 km we drive past Awabi towards Rustaq. About 4.4 km after the end of Awabi, we turn off Route 13 and head SSW following the signs for "Wadi Bani Awf". After 21 km (from Route 13) we have reached the houses of Zammah on the edge of the Wadi Bani Awf streambed. You can normally get here in a non 4x4 car. Here we leave 1 car - not in the riverbed! - parked here. After 4.1 km, the entry to the side canyon Wadi Bimah would be on the left, at the road split after 6 km (from Zammah) we take the left-hand dirt road (on the right it would go up to the village of Bilad Sayt) past a football pitch with artificial turf and after a total of 7 km, finally downhill in a few switchbacks, we have reached our destination.
Return: From the exit of the canyon a few meters to the end of the slope and on this out to Zammah.

Zarqa Ma'in lower: Canyon Start
Approach: Orograf. On the left, we descend the slope down to the stream, cross 2 bridge culverts there, see the thermal waterfalls on the right on the slope and take care not to get scalded in the hot water. Finally, we leave the thermal baths behind us and dive into the canyon. During our hike in 2016, a man approached us, first from the thermal baths above on the right and later from the two bridges that cross the stream in the hotel area. He shouted after us and apparently wanted to make us pay the entrance fee to the thermal baths, which we did not enter. Finally, he threw a stone at us. Apparently, this behavior was not an isolated incident, because in our hotel in Madaba, a local guide asked us specifically about incidents in the area of the thermal baths and said after our report that he would therefore avoid this area on the right-hand slope above the thermal baths. Based on our experience, I would also recommend this.
Tour: We follow the stream as it meanders downhill over a number of small steps. In some places, you have to check carefully which way is best to negotiate the steps (see in detail: ). Finally, we walk relaxed out to the car at the road bridge.

Zarqa Ma'in lower: Parking at Entry
Access: From Madaba we take the road down to the Dead Sea. After 26 km (from the start of this road in the center of Madaba) we pass the road branching off to the left, which leads down to the Hammamat Ma'in thermal baths. However, we continue straight ahead for the time being and descend to the Dead Sea, where we meet road "65" 11.3 km after the turn-off to the thermal baths. After a little more than 4 km, we turn left (south) and reach the bridge over "our" wadi. Here we park the car for the exit. If we want to traverse the right-hand slope above the thermal baths to the entry - see "Access" - the upper car should be parked at the side of the road. With the second car we drive back again, first the 4 km to the junction of the road to Madaba, then on this again 11.3 km up into the mountains, to now turn right onto the road to Hammamat Ma'in and - past the entrance to the thermal bath - drive down to the wadi. We park our second car at the bridge.
Return: We come out of the canyon directly at the lower car,

Karak: Canyon Start
Approach: Continuing along the slope, we cross the ditch in a north-westerly direction and then turn right downhill at the stone house on the ridge. Follow the goat tracks down into the streambed (E). Cf.: It is possible that the inhabitants of the stone house demand a fee "for the use of the anchors" on the 1st rappel. Paying creates peace ...
Tour: After a short run and some downclimbing, we come to a series of 3 rappels (max, 23m). Here you have to reckon with the fact that there are no anchors on the first ropes. After a longer run, interrupted by repeated downclimbs, we come to the next rappel after about 100 minutes. This is followed by a long run to the lower car. The highlights here are the vegetation, a large clamping block above us and the high waterfall waterfall cascading down into the wadi. During my visits in 2016 and 2019, we unfortunately had to see that quite at the exit of the canyon from the left from direction "50" a black slurry of dirt cascaded down into the bottom of the canyon. It polluted the stream from then on. At the exit of the gorge there is also an exit pretty much directly up to "50" - the wikiloc info can no longer be found on the net.

Karak: Parking at Entry
Access: First we drive from the town of Karak down to the Dead Sea. If we only have 1 car available, we park it after driving 10 km where a dirt road goes downhill to the right. Then you should take the short exit in the canyon up to "50" - http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=10593498 - and then hitchhike or take a minibus, if necessary also on foot (3.6 km) up to the car. If we have 2 cars, we first bring one car down to the parking exit P2 (if necessary on the evening of the previous day). To do this, we drive from the town of Karak on the "50" down to the Dead Sea. After 26.2 km we come to the T-junction "Mazra Junction" and turn right onto the "65" heading north. 3.4 km after Mazra Junction, a dirt road leaves the "65" on the right. It leads through the settlement and then continues as a dirt road to the P 2 parking exit (a good 5 km distance). Here, at a small house and a water reservoir, we park the car for the exit. The second car takes us back to "65", then to Masra Junction, where we turn left again towards Karak. After 15.2 km from Masra Junction, a few meters after crossing a ditch, we come to a dirt road branching off to the left (northwards). In front of us are the houses of a scattered settlement (Mumiya). We now turn onto the dirt road and drive down it to the wadi. Depending on the condition of the slope and the vehicle, we may be able to reach the P 1 parking entry, otherwise we will have to park the car further up and walk down the rest of the slope to P 1.

Abu Kusheiba: Canyon Start
Comment: potentieller Umkehrpunkt nach Aufstieg im Canyon
Approach: Over the concrete structure directly into the stream.
Tour: We walk and climb up (via small steps) in the thermal water. At the exit of the gorge, we come to an approximately 4m high waterfall (no longer available as of 2019), which can be climbed through the adjacent stalactite grotto. At the top, the stream is largely open and therefore less interesting.

Abu Kusheiba: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We drive from the town of Karak on the "50" down to the Dead Sea. After 26.2 km we come to the T-junction "Mazra Junction", turn right onto the "65" heading north and after 25.4 km pass the bridge over the Mujib and then after 38.3 km (from Mazra Junction) we come to the concrete structure in Wadi Kusheiba.\nFrom the north (Amman, Madaba) it is 8.8 km from the T-junction of the "65" with the road coming down from Madaba to Wadi Kusheiba.
Return: Back on the approach route. A connection with the Wadi Attun would be possible (the latter then on the descent)

Abu Erteimeh: Canyon Start
Approach: On the north side of the bridge directly into the wadi.
Tour: In the wadi, a slight ascent up the stream. We come to a small lake (which was silted up in 2019), which is fed by a small waterfall. Temperatures near the waterfall reach 60° C. Now the ascent becomes steeper and we finally reach a small basin, where a further ascent over the next waterfall is reserved for climbers. Alternatively, you can climb further up the stream from the waterfall. However, it is better to go down this passage with rappels.

Abu Erteimeh: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We drive from the town of Karak on the "50" down to the Dead Sea. After 26.2 km we come to the T-junction "Mazra Junction", continue north on the "65" and after 25.4 km we pass the bridge over the Mujib and then after 34.7 km (from Mazra Junction) we come to the bridge over the Wadi ad Dab'i. Coming from the north (Amman, Madaba), it is 12.5 km from the T-junction of the "65" with the road coming down from Madaba to the Wadi ad Dab'i.
Return: Return on the approach route or in the stream (3 small rappels at the beginning)

Abu Erteimeh: Canyon End
Return: Return on the approach route or in the stream (3 small rappels at the beginning)

Tschaukofall: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the main road to the Teufelsbrücke bridge, from where you have a view of the entire tour. If the iron gate is open, go through here and to the stream, if it is closed, after a few meters you will find a trail on the other side of the road that leads steeply down to the exit. Cross the aluminum spiral staircase (donated by the Villach carnival guild) and the suspension bridge until you reach the stream. Entry under a 3m waterfall below the actual Tschaukofall.
Tour: On the left side of the first waterfall, which is about 17m high, there are 2 rappel points, depending on whether you want to rappel in or out of the water. The next 5m high waterfall can be bypassed using a wire rope and gorge or rappelled from one of the belays. There are 2 more waterfalls, 3m and 9m high, separated by a small, current-rich trough. The 3m drop can be jumped or slid, but should be secured as there is a risk of being pulled into the next waterfall. At the 9m drop you rappel again. That's it :) The deep and narrow Tscheppaschlucht gorge below is also drilled. You could also take the Tschaukofall - 30m, rope sling around tree orographic right.

Tschaukofall: Canyon End
Return: Same route as access

Valle della Grigna: Canyon Start
Approach: From the upper car, zigzag down a path directly towards Grigna, past a goat shed (on the right).\nP. v. Duin wants to cross the hollow to the left after about 50 m onto a small path leading slightly uphill and then down to Grigna (see description there).\nWe, on the other hand, continued directly downhill and reached a cross-path with a pile of marker stones. The horizontal path could have led to the entry on the left, but was completely overgrown. So we continued down to a small plateau above the Grigna. Look for the tracks to the left here and across the cirque leading down to the river, slightly uphill onto a ridge and then down to the entry point on the other side. We went down the aforementioned cirque to the right and unfortunately came to the Grigna directly below the attractive entry waterfalls.
Tour: At the beginning a sequence of longer rappels, mostly "in the beam". Then swim and run sections alternate, interrupted by the odd rappel. Some slides and jumps are also possible. Attractive ambience in red rock.

Valle della Grigna: Canyon End
Return: After the power station, continue along the river bed for about 200 m and then turn right up to Via Isola and on this road to the lower car. \nPossibility of an exit before the narrower final passage to the left up the slope on a fixed rope (May 2012).

Hasa Upper: Canyon Start
Approach: At P1, we take the road that leads from the access road to the right in a north-westerly direction down to Wadi Hasa. We walk downstream on the left bank until the river carves into the light-colored limestone. Here we take the path.
Tour: Either we take the 5m slide down or we walk a few more meters on the left high bank and find a place where we can descend into the river bed. We descend in a corridor, with the occasional clamping block at the top, strange rock formations, a kind of veil fall from the right-hand side and an optional, mostly open siphon towards the exit. Then we have the corridor behind us and after a short walk we come to a basin where the river meanders along the edge of huge broken rock towers. Finally, we reach the confluence with the Wadi Afra coming from the left. If we are not planning to walk the Hasa Lower as a whole, it is worth descending a few hundred meters here in the Hasa Lower to reach another deep and impressive section of the gorge. Here you can also downclimb a few meters on the left bank and explore the gulch up and down (for photos, see Wadi Hasa Lower). Finally, at the canyon exit, head up to the left and back to the confluence of Wadi Hasa Upper and Wadi Afra.

Hasa Upper: Parking at Entry
Comment: P1 für Zustieg. Ggf. auch Anfahrt hinunter zur Furt.
Access: From Karak we drive east on the "50" for about 3.5 km and turn south onto the latter at the junction with the "35". From the junction we then drive 31 km to the bridge over the Wadi Hasa and then turn right 6.7 km after the bridge at an acute angle onto the road to the thermal bath "Hammamat Afra" or "Hammam Burbeita". We drive 9 km on this road from the turn-off and then come to parking lot P1, where we park our car for the access to Wadi Hasa Upper. If we have a second car available and want to limit ourselves to the ascent of Hasa Upper, we drive on from P1 and after 2 km arrive at P2. Here we park the car for the exit. However, if we want to walk the Wadi Afra from bottom to top after the Hasa Upper, we park the second car for the exit another 1.8 km further on at P3.
Return: From this confluence you can walk up a slope to the road and P2 (290m above sea level). Alternatively, we can also ascend in the thermal waters of Wadi Afra and then come out to P3 (see description of Wadi Afra).

Return: The exit via the ridge (brown dotted line) described in the book by Jourdan/Fiorina was described by Lendi as a 1.5 hour struggle through the maquis. Therefore, here is the (unverified) suggestion to follow this stream downhill for about 250m when you reach the Bravone and then get out immediately after a small stream flowing in from the left onto the meadow on the left. Here you come to a (possibly somewhat overgrown) field path, which is the start of the red marked ascent path. At the top of the D16, turn left and walk 1.4 km to Matra (see "Exit(s)" in the photo gallery).

Laingraben: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the "Sonnenspitz" signposts and walk up the forest road above the Lainbach stream. After 110m, the road crosses the Laingraben and climbs relatively steeply up the slope on the other side. After 2.5 km (from the bridge) we come to a clearing (GPS; N 47°38'39.62" E 11°23'08.60" - altitude 1005m), where the path to Sonnenspitz branches off to the right (signpost). There is a bench on the left at the edge of the path. Here we take the forest road that leads down to the left to the Lainbach (entry).\n\nThe approach on the forest road can be shortened via a path (signpost - Kot-Alm (?) - after the bridge over the Lainbach).\nYou can also reach the entry via the orographic right side of the slope.\n
Tour: We start with a river walk. After a while, it is interrupted at regular intervals by steps, some of which are rappelled, but mostly downclimbed. There is also a possible jumps. Almost at the exit of the tour and about 200m before the final waterfall, we see an overgrown path to the left (exit possible). The following block section in the stream can be bypassed righthand side in the forest. The tour exits at the Upper Lainbach Falls (GPS: N 47°38'59.96" E 11°22'54.73" altitude 795m)

Laingraben: Parking Entry and Exit

Access: Coming from the north, we take the B11 via Schmid-von-Kochel-Platz and then head south along Mittenwalder Straße. On the right we see the Schmid-von-Kochel monument, the Raiffeisenbank and next to it the Pfleger butcher's shop. Opposite is Kalmbachstraße, which we turn into. After a good 100m, we turn right into Alte Straße. After another 700m, we turn half-left into Straße am Sonnenstein and after another 400m we come to the edge of the forest, where we park our car.\nNavi input: "Kochel am See - Am Sonnenstein 24" or "Sonnensteinweg 11"; GPS: N 47°38'39.62" E 11°22'13.62" (altitude 655m)

Latreinbach: Canyon Start
2025-05-17: Walk along the entire Latreinbach. Upper part almost dry and only halfway interesting from the confluence of the side arms, only then also some water. At the entry at the lower part (new forest road)...
Approach: From the start of the access road to the allotment site (530m altitude), we take the path that leads us past the tennis courts to the south. We cross the Latreinbach stream and see the steps below the torrent bridge, where the exit will already be. About 50m after the bridge, a comfortable path leads up to the right. We follow it, cross a wide forest path at an altitude of 700m and come to a fork in the path at an altitude of just over 720m. Turn right here - signpost: "Zauberwinkel über Zaubersteig; Niederau" - to the entry to the lower part (E2) at 715m above sea level. Continue straight on up to the upper entry (E2). At an altitude of approximately 1040m we come to a farm track and follow this to the right. After about 600m we cross a first spring stream of the Latreinbach to the right, and a little later a second one. We enter the third spring brook (E1 - 1050m altitude). If you have transferred a second car to Hennersberg, take the path to the west, which turns off to the right a few meters before the prominent left-hand bend in the road. After a few hundred meters you come to the point where the path, coming up from below, crosses this wide forest road (see above!). From here, continue as described above, either to E1 or E2.
Tour: The upper parts are relatively open, poorly secured (anno 2018), at risk of falling rocks. Highest rappel 20m. The lower parts are somewhat more attractive and well secured. Exit directly at the slide brake to the right or left.

Access: We take the B 171 through Wörgl in the direction of Kundl. Where the road makes a slight bend to the right at the exit of a long straight, Wildschönauer Straße turns off to the left (SE). We continue (initially) on the B 171 (Innsbrucker Straße), after 600m we pass "McDonalds" on the left and a few meters after that a "Jet" petrol station, also on the left. 280m after "McDonalds" we turn left into the Oberer Aubachweg. 650m we drive along the small road to the entrance to an allotment garden (navigation destination "Oberer Aubachweg 14") and park our car here in a suitable place (not bad below the tennis courts) (P1 - 530m altitude). If we - also - want to walk the upper parts, a partial shuttle is an option. To do this, we take the second car back towards Wörgl and turn right into Wildschönauer Straße at the start of the village. We drive 2.3 km uphill in serpentines until the road branches off to the right into the hamlet of Hennersberg. We also turn right here and park our second car after 350m (before the left-hand bend) in a suitable place (P2; navigation destination: "Hennersberg 13a").
Return: Follow the tracks downhill until you reach the path at the foot of the slope. Follow it to the left to the car at the tennis courts.

Stuhlbach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the bridge, walk back along the access road for approx. 100 m, then turn right onto a forest path. We follow this for 180 m in a northerly direction, then turn off at an acute angle onto another forest path, which leads us south again. 140 m further on, it bends to the left and heads uphill in a north-easterly direction. At an altitude of 870 m, we come across a hiking trail coming up from the left - "Reitsteig" (King Ludwig II). It leads via the Moosenalm up to the Tölzer Hütte and the Schafreiter. We now follow this path further uphill At 970 m above sea level, we cross the Stuhlbach stream (30 min. up to here). You can join here if you only want to walk the lower parts (the more rewarding part). We continue to climb in serpentines. At an altitude of 1300m, we come close to the Stuhlbach again, just a few meters before the path crosses the Stuhlbach again. This is where we join the path.
Tour: In an open forest canyon, parts of the rappel alternate with rappels (about 18 in the upper part, 6 in the lower part), which are only partially bolted (otherwise rappel from the tree or go around). In the lower parts (from here 2x25m ropes are sufficient) anchors are usually hidden, as they are repeatedly vandalized. In this case, rappels from trees are usually possible as an alternative. Various exit options also open up here.

Stuhlbach: Canyon End
Return: Exit at the road bridge.

Seinsbach: Canyon Start
Approach: First as (lower) Seinsbachklamm: Continue on the forest road towards Ferein-Alm. After about 25 minutes and 900 m we take the forest road to the right in the direction of Aschaualm, Mittenwald and after another 5 minutes we reach the Seinsbach (970 m above sea level).\nWe continue on the dirt road in the direction of Mittenwald. After approx. 300 m, we turn left at a sharp angle in front of a chapel (Aschauer Kapelle). Before the farmstead (Aschauer Alm), take the 'hunters path' uphill to the right. After about 15 minutes you cross a stream (which flows into the Seinsbach directly below the waterfall) and come to the edge of a slope with a resting bench. Here, at about 1100 m above sea level, we take a footpath from the hunters path on the left horizontally before the next left turn (see photo!). After a few meters to the right around the edge of the slope, we reach another slope edge (GPS: N 47' 28' 21.01 / E 11' 18' 9.72), on which we descend without a path to the stream. After a few meters down the stream we come to the waterfall.\n
Tour: With a little skill, you can stay out of the powerful stream on the right. After the rappel, you walk a few more meters in a gulch-like gorge before it widens and we come back to the bridge over the Seinsbach in the open gravel bed.

Seinsbach: Canyon End
Return: Either get off at the bridge on the right and walk back along the ascent path or - normally - continue along the lower Seinsbachklamm gorge to its exit (see description there).

Approach: Continue along the forest road towards Ferein-Alm. After about 25 minutes and 900 m we take the forest road to the right in the direction of Aschaualm, Mittenwald and after another 5 minutes we reach the Seinsbach.
Tour: After about 150 m in the open streambed, we come to the first pools and the first rappel (right 4 m, mostly slippable). After a few more pools and a small slide, we go through a narrow corridor about 50 m long. This is followed by an open part of the gorge, at the exit of which an exit option opens up on the right. Now the core section begins with two rappels into pools, which are only easy if you can stand on the ground (completely gravelled up at the end of July 2018). This is followed by the last and highest rappel (12m+5m "run-up"), where you can clip into a guide line on the right (take the long part of the safety line!) to stay out of the powerful jet. On the left there is a not easily accessible belaystation from which you can rappel dry (12m). Where the canyon opens up, you can exit to the right onto the forest path or continue a little further through the small conglomerate gorge.

Rio Carlo Gasparini (& Arzino): Canyon Start
2025-08-23: Everything is fine.

2025-06-09: Anchors all in top condition. Some driftwood. Swimming along in the Arzino is always a feast.
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the signs to the right in the direction of the village of Pielungo. Less than 100m after the junction, at the point where the guardrail (left) is interrupted at a right-hand bend, a clearly visible path leads down to the stream/entry at approx. 370m. To check the water level before the tour, you can follow the SP1 road from the parking lot straight on to the bridge over the Rio Carlo Gaspirini. Here you can already see the last steps of the tour.
Tour: Immediately after the short access comes the first small step, which is mostly a slide. This is followed by an approx. 18m rappel into the now incised and thinner canyon. Beautiful washouts and twists lead to a large rock that blocks the way in the narrow section. Depending on the conditions, either slip through here or rappel right from single bolts. Then come the last abseiling points, 7m, 10m, 3m and 20m in quick succession. The belay station for the last abseil point, which leads directly into the Arzinobach, can be reached safely using a rope traverse. Alternatively, the last 20m step can also be rappelled 15m into a washout and the rest slid into the Arzinobach. As the Rio Carlo Gasparini flows into the beautiful Arzinobach without an exit option, you have to swim another 200m without any major obstacles. After the beautiful incised swimming passage, the canyon opens up and you can see a large sloping rock slab on the right where you can get out of the stream immediately afterwards on the gravel bed on the right for about 300m without any problems (do not continue swimming here as the further course of the stream has major danger spots).

Access: From Tolmezzo head towards Verzegnis and continue over the Sella Chianzutan into the Arzinotal valley. After some time on the SP1, drive over the Arzinobach. Then follow the road for just a few hundred meters to the bus stop/exit before the signs for Pielungo 1km, Clauzetto 11km, Tramonti 24km, Grotte Pradis. Here you can park your car on the right.
Return: About 100m after the gorge, climb up to the right over rock slabs into the forest to reach a poorly visible path that leads back to the parking lot on the right. Don't be tempted to swim further in the Arzino towards La Foce. A siphon lurks at the beginning of the next gorge and soon after that a declining step. Can be explored from the road. In 2018, the siphon was closed and the steps could be negotiated with rope support. Caution: there is a block hidden in the Weissweisser on the left

Approach: At the bridge, turn right directly down into the stream
Tour: A sequence of rappels of varying lengths down to the Magglia, which is reached before the grotto. The high rappel has now been drilled a little more rope-friendly. First rappel 20m to the belay already visible from above just before the short slide towards the edge. Here set up a rope traverse over 4 anchors to the hanging belay on the right. Then rappel 60m from the hanging belay into the pool. It is very difficult to reach this belay directly from above. On the last rappel into the Maglia, you can choose a less delicate rappel option on the right if the Maglia is full of water. Now go through the grotto and path up to the right at the signpost to the access road. You can also continue along the maglia, but you should then park a second vehicle at the bottom of the Roya valley. Or you can park the one available vehicle at the top of the Maglia parking lot, then walk down the road to the entry to the Morghe and after the Maglia take the mule path on the orographic left side back up to the car (keep left at the fork in the path). It is crucial to check the water level of the Maglia beforehand, otherwise you could be in mortal danger in its whirlpools up to the grotto. However, the danger should no longer exist after the gravel has been removed by the mudflow (2020).

Access: From the Ventimiglia highway exit, drive up the Roya valley to Breil sur Roya. At the exit of the long village, turn left onto the N 2204 towards Sospel. After 2 km, a small road branches off to the right up the orographic right-hand slope of the Maglia. After a tunnel, you reach the bridge over the Morghe with limited parking facilities.
Return: About 100 m after the grotto in the Maglia, get out on the right at the marked emergency exit, up to the road and right up to the vehicle (see also "Route description!").

Access: From Dolceaqua drive up the valley in the direction of Rochetta Nervina. Park in the large parking lot in the village (2023: 8 euros per day, 1 euro per hour, free for motorhomes at night). Water tap at the sanitary building/back wall. Shower in the sanitary building - only open during the day.
Return: Quite laborious through the blocked streambed until you reach a bathing area below an artificial step. Turn right here on a good path back to the village.

Comment: Ponte Cin
Approach: 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.
Tour: 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.

Kesselbach: Canyon Start
2024-09-03: Stacks of single bolt rapells in suspicious rock, but otherwise a pretty entertaining little canyon. A handful of slippery abseils and short slides.

Approach: From the parking area by the Kesselbach stream, paths lead upwards roughly parallel to the course of the stream (orographically on the left bank). First climb steeply up the boulder field on the right, cross a small ditch and come across path tracks. Follow these upwards, as parallel as possible to the stream. In places, the climbing tracks avoid the steep sections in a wider arc, but always lead back to the stream. After about 200 meters of ascent, you reach the significantly flattened and widened upper part of the stream (striking terrain step with small pools and a large boulder lying on the edge of the terrain). Above this step, the stream is no longer worthwhile and is not permitted, so enter here.
Tour: A very short, easy to climb canyon, well secured with glued anchors, charming views down to the Saalach. Exit possible at any time. The stream is very busy commercially, especially at weekends. Currently (2012) the only stream approved for canyoning in Bavaria. Conflict of interest between canyoneers and nudists. Mudslide exit at the end of June 2010.

Access: Coming from Munich, it is best to take the highway towards Salzburg as far as the Bad Reichenhall exit (just before the Austrian border). Now head towards Reichenhall on the B 20. At the exit of the Bad Reichenhall bypass, leave the B 20 towards Lofer on the B 21/E 60. Shortly afterwards, drive under the ropes of the Predigtstuhlbahn and cross the outflow of the Kesselbach waterfall. Immediately after this bridge, there is a small parking lot directly on the banks of the Kesselbach (alternatively, just before the larger parking lot under the ropes of the cable car).\nAlternative access: via Schneizlreuth, then towards Bad Reichenhall.
Return: Orographic. Get off to the left of the bridge and walk along the road to the car.

Haselbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the forest road to the "Weisswasser" bivouac site. From there, follow the marked forest road towards Blahbergalm. Once at the saddle, follow the already heavily overgrown forest road southwards into the Haselbach valley. Entry at the bridge over the stream. If you only want to walk the lower part, follow the forest road that leads from the exit of the Haselbach gorge eastwards up to its exit. From there, descend pathless into the canyon, which you reach in the area of an old hermitage.
Tour: Forest gorge with short narrow sections. Many low drops that have to be jumped or downclimbed. There were no abseiling points in 2004. After the hermitage, the canyon narrows and two slightly higher canyons had to be rappelled (tree rappels). After the second drop there is a karst spring from a cave (Goldloch) with lots of water.

2025-06-21: New steel ropes at the access to the 30 m rappel orograph. right. All stands ok, pools free to jump, always nice!
Approach: From the parking lot, head first to the chapel. To the west (left of) the chapel, a path leads into the forest and down towards Archbach. After approx. 100 m, you come to the hiking trail coming from Reutte in the direction of Plansee. Follow this (to the right) to gain an insight into the open canyon and see the upper abseiling point above the large pool. A little further on, you come to a dam and enter the Archbach stream below (at 950 m).
Tour: With a total duration of 2-2.5 hours (for 2 people), this is a half-day tour. For photos, an entry in the early afternoon is favorable, as then the sun (if available) shines on the waterfalls. The brave can dare a high jump (approx. 15m) from a ledge (after crossing) during the 2nd rappelling route. There are also transfer facilities here. As the name Stuiben Falls suggests, there are 2 waterfalls (approx. 25 m and 40 m), a few jumping pools and a flat, easy walk. The stream can also be walked further down to the E-Werk. To do this, take the path on the left bank. Where it rises, turn right into the stream. This is followed by a narrow section with a couple of jumping pools.

Access: Coming from Füssen on the bypass road past Reutte, take the southern exit Reutte and turn left under the road to the Fernpaß, following the signs to Plansee, Linderhof Castle, Oberammergau. After approx. 2.5 km there is an unpaved parking lot for approx. 10 cars to the right of the road. Park your car here. This is also the starting point for the hike to the Zunterkopf. To the left of the road, you will see a chapel at the edge of the forest, slightly elevated and partially obscured by bushes. Coming from Munich on the A95 towards Garmisch-Partenkirchen, turn off the B 2 (extension of the A 95) in Oberau towards Oberammergau. Take the B 23 through Ettal and approx. 600 m after the end of the village turn left onto the St 2060 in the direction of Linderhof Castle, Plansee, Reutte/Tyrol. Pass Linderhof and continue over the Ammersattel to Plansee. Along this and the following small Plansee, the road finally crosses the Archbach, the outflow of the lake. 800 m further on, the above-mentioned chapel is on the righthand side and after another 50-100 m the parking lot is on the left.
Return: Approx. 100m downstream after the large Stuibenfall (at 830m altitude), a small path leads up from the streambed on the left and after a few meters joins the hiking trail that we followed - further up - on the approach to the entry. Keeping to the left at a few forks, you will repeatedly gain views back into the canyon ascent. After reaching the starting height, where the path then runs level, we turn back onto the path to the chapel and reach the parking lot in a few minutes. If you descend to the level of the E-Werk, turn left over the footbridge and continue to the parking lot exit.

Comment: oberer Einstieg (Holzbrücke)
Approach: Now take the Kaiserlift up to the Brentnejoch mountain station at an altitude of 1273m (15Euro Oct- 2023). There we take the forest path which leads us around the crest to the right in a long curve down to the Brentenjochalm (1208m altitude). A little later, we leave the piste and head south-southeast down to the Gaisbach. Alternatively, you can follow the forest road in an easterly direction to the Steinberghütte and meet the stream after about 20 minutes on foot (upper entry at the wooden bridge 1120m altitude). If you prefer to walk up, take the "Wilde Kaiser Steig" path on the orographic left side of the slope above the Gaisbach to the Kaindlhütte and from there down to the upper entry point (approx. 2h walking time).
Tour: From the upper entry, the route first descends in or next to the stream for about 100 m to the first step, where the highest rappel (25 m) (from the tree) awaits us (can also be bypassed on the left). This is followed by a 20-minute walk, in the area of which is the direct access from the Brentenjoch-Alm. After about 6-7 smaller rappels and several walking passages, we come to the rest of a boulder barrier, where the Green Ditch descends from the left (950m altitude). You can also climb over this (see Riml/Amor). From the slide brake the canyon becomes narrower and some of the rappels are numbered. Further on, there are a few narrow sections and steps with single pitons or obstructions that can be skillfully rappelled over. You should always carry an emergency drill set and a few canyons with you as the canyon can change quickly. The exit of the tour is at the wooden bridge at approx. 680m.

Access: We leave the A 12 (Inntalautobahn) via the "Kufstein Süd" exit onto the "B 173" and then cross the Inn. Follow Eibergstraße for 1.1 km (from the Inn bridge) in an easterly direction and then turn right at the 2nd traffic circle in the direction of St. Johann (still on the B 173). After 2.2 km along the Weissache we come to the country inn in Egerbach. Immediately after this inn, we turn left and follow the narrow road first up to the former Haberghof inn and then 600 m further to the exit of the tarred road at the Einödhof Köllenberg. Here we ask if and where we can park our car for the exit. If we are not prepared to do this or the request is refused, we park our car on a widened road in the forest (with a pensioner's bench) between Haberghof (formerly an inn) and Einödhof GPS: 47.553510, 12.175870. In the second car, we drive back in a northerly direction through Kufstein and then head for the valley station of the Kaiserlift (signposted). We park the second car here. If you want to save the 5 euro parking fee, park the second car in the parking lot marked here (or 1 person can ride the bike 15 minutes from the parking exit back to the lift).
Return: Follow the path to the right in a north-westerly direction up to the Einödhof and the first parked car.

Approach: From above: like Leale - descend to the mouth of the Riu dal Boschet into the Leale. Then ascend on the orographic left side of the Riu dal Boschet until you reach a rugged ridge after about 25 minutes, descend here into the small saddle and follow an overgrown path to the left. This path leads past some ruins to a bridge over the stream. Entry here.\n\nFrom below: From the lower parking lot, hike into the valley, bypass the first scree barrier on the left and continue until you are in front of the gorge. About 100m before the gorge, a clear path leads off orographically to the left, follow this path upwards, keep right at the first fork, climb upwards at a fork in a chute with a boulder. From here it is quite steep uphill, if in doubt keep left. You soon reach a small saddle, cross here to the left until you reach the ruins and a little later the stream.
Tour: Hiking/downclimbing with 4 rappels up to 18m and some slides and jumps.

Follow the sand road over a ford and park after a meadow (parking for 4-5 cars). Do not park in the area of the ford.\n\nIf you want to get on from above: Just before the center of Avasinis, turn left up the mountain (signs: Monte Prat), after about 3km you will reach an iron fountain on the left, just after it a private road goes to the right while the road goes to the left. Park in the area of the fountain.
Return: Either canyoning through the lower gorge of the Leale or on foot via the path that bypasses the gorge on the orographic left bank. The path starts at a wet rock face about 50m below the mouth of the Riu dal Boschet.

Return: Either canyoning through the lower gorge of the Leale or on foot via the path that bypasses the gorge on the orographic left bank. The path starts at a wet rock face about 50m below the mouth of the Riu dal Boschet.

Finzbach: Canyon Start
2024-05-20: Everything is tip top. The pool at the first rappel is not jumpable!
Comment: gros débit: entrée par Altgraben ! (descente)
Approach: Back to Krottenkopfstraße and 400m in a WNW direction. At the fork, turn right and then follow the signs to the Finz-Alm; after crossing the old ditch, you will pass a small service hut (left) and, after reaching the next height, you will see the open gravel streambed of the Finzbach and the Finz-Alm some distance to the right. Now descend to the stream, directly at the entry point.
Tour: First 3 easy rappels, then you come to the crux. The waterfall of the Altgraben shoots down from the left, while the collected water from both streams rushes into a narrow chute on the right. Descending this chute from the anchor on the right-hand wall is only advisable when the water flow is low. Otherwise, you have to traverse at the same height over a slippery ledge into the left wall to an anchor fixed there (wire rope upwards) and rappel from here at the edge of the stream (20m). You can make the slippery ledge easier to grip with a wire or root brush. If necessary, scattering sand from the stream can also help. The safety rope for the first traverse should be attached to the left of the wall above the pool if possible, so that slipping is not associated with a fall into the chute and the stream. In 2018, the safety rope could be attached to tree trunks above the pool. In 2019, we placed several anchors on the left wall for the traverse and installed a fixed rope. If in doubt, the fixed ropes have to be pulled in again every year. If the water flow is above average, entry via the old trench is recommended. In this case, the abseil length is approx. 30m to the said stand in the wall and 50m to the bottom. Another possibly tricky spot can be found at the next rappel ("Hoher Fall"). Here you can see a gyro pump at the bottom, which can cause problems even with an average water flow. A fixed rope makes the exit easier here - also for the numerous bathers at the weekend - but sometimes it doesn't hang in the pool. Then either place an anchor on the right edge of the waterfall or rope from the existing anchor (left on the wall) across the fall to the orographic right side to bypass the whirlpool below. In this case you should also install a floating anchor from the top (from the right side of the fall) to be on the safe side. After the high fall, hike in the streambed to the exit at the water diversion (only exit right just before the dam!).

Approach: We walk upstream through the park-like grounds on the south-western edge of the canyon. After about 250 m, you come to a viewpoint from which you have a good view of the canyon in both directions. After another 150 m you come to a dam with a power station. Cross this towards the other bank. Before crossing the last stream, turn left onto a walled "peninsula" and from there turn right into the river bed. The book mentioned below indicates a different entry - rappel approx. 30 m below the dam from the orographic right side for 15 m.
Tour: Narrow and dark forest gorge, which opens up some possible jumps at the beginning. At the 30 m abseiling point, you can also abseil to a ledge after approx. 13 m and downclimb or jump the last 5 m from there. There are 2 other canyons nearby (Bief de la Ruine and Gorges de Malvaux).

Access: Leave the N-1 Lausanne - Geneva highway at Nyon on Lake Geneva and take the road towards Les Rousses, which winds up the mountain in a north-westerly direction. After 20 km, it meets the N-5, which soon reaches Les Rousses (2.5 km). The route continues via Morez and Morbier to St. Laurant, where the N-5 bends to the north (20.5 km from Les Rousses). We follow it for another 10 km until we turn right onto the D-16 towards Chaux-des-Crotenay. About 1.5 km after this village, turn left (D-127el) towards Les Planches-en-Montagne. Leave the car at the bridge (over the Saine) before the village (parking lot with signs). The canyon can also be reached from Yverdon at the south-western end of Lac de Neuchatel.
Return: After the bridge, turn left up to the parking lot.

Approach: If you want to walk the entire canyon, take the forest road up the southern bank of the canyon. After about 2km you come to a fork, here you take the downhill forest road which crosses a stream after a few hundred meters - this is the entry point. If you only want to do the more interesting lower part, take the marked hiking trail on the northern bank of the canyon. After about 35 minutes of ascent, you cross the 'Gerade Plan', an avalanche gully. Follow the clear climbing tracks into the streambed.
Tour: There are two small rappels to complete in the side stream before you reach the Taglesbach. After a short section of walking, you soon come to a slide about 7m high, followed by another longer section of walking until you reach the alternative access. Further down, the stream narrows and becomes increasingly aquatic. There are 2-3 rappels (the third one can also be jumped, but is relatively narrow), several small jumps and a few slides. In the open rocky area after the gorge, there is an emergency exit to the left secured with a wire rope. The wire rope begins before the first slide and leads about 30m up through a rocky gully. Then turn right into the forest.

Approach: On foot: Walk along the road above the parking lot towards the river and descend to the large terminal basin. Check the water flow, then cross the riverbed to the south and hike along the narrow mountain road to the start of the path to Pönt and Valle di Osogna. After the steep ascent to Pönt, the path becomes flatter and then enters the Valle di Osogna. From bridge 839, the path climbs again. At stone bridge 950, carefully check the water level in the basin below (this can become a trap). Climb the steep steps and at 1060 meters take the less visible path on your left down into the valley to the river and the outlet of the diversion channel. Helicopter: From the helipad, first go up to the houses I Cassin di Carli. There we take the hiking trail to the right. After the last houses, the path descends along a ridge. At an altitude of 1060m, we take the not very clearly recognizable path to the right. It leads us down to the entry at the outlet of the drainage channel.
Tour: The upper part starts after the water intake and accordingly carries little water. The water is generally quite cold. Many slides that need to be well checked out. There are also some possible jumps.

Mala Pisnica: Canyon Start
Approach: Cross the dam and behind it cross the mostly dry streambed via a concrete ford. At the fork, follow the crossing tracks into the gravel bed of the Mala Pisnica. In the gravel bed, follow the path uphill for about 1.2 km until you can climb up into the mountain pines at a painted-over color point on the right. Follow the well-trodden path over sandy ridges into the forest above where you meet another very good path. A little later, you will also meet the old path that used to cross the Schrofenflanke, but is now largely derelict. From here, the trail descends horizontally to slightly downhill through beautiful high forest. At a wide, gravelly streambed, you descend about 20 m into the main gorge.
Tour: After a short hiking section with small slides, a first low gorge follows with 3 slides up to four meters - check beforehand from the right canyon rim whether all pools are deep enough. After a short hike, the only rappel in the gorge follows - 15m, anchors on the right (the only fixed belays in the gorge). After another hiking section in the sunny Schrofenschlucht gorge, it gets tight at 100m, two 4m jumps over clamping blocks await in this part. The canyon opens up again before a final low gorge follows after a short section of hiking (several small slides and jumps). Behind this gorge you will usually meet bathers, as this part is accessible from below.

Approach: First, as with Saint-Jean aval: from Pont St. Joseph, take the track that leaves the D 202 in a south-easterly direction. After a few hairpin bends, you gain an insight into the canyon. After about 20 minutes, turn right down to the entry to the lower parts. However, we continue along the track and after about another 10 minutes we reach a point where the track starts to descend again. A path leads off to the left here. We follow it and the signpost "Ourges, St. Jean". After another 20 minutes you cross the ruins of Ourges. Almost 20 minutes further on, we circle a ridge and then descend a few meters without a path into the streambed.
Tour: After the start of the constriction, 4 smaller steps, then a 28m diagonal abseil that can be downclimbed on the left edge. After a mess, 2 more small steps before a river walk follows.

Access: From Nice, take the N 202 up the Var for approx. 29 km to Plan-du-Var. Shortly after this village, turn right into the Vesubie valley. 19 km after the turn-off, you pass through Lantosque. About 1.5 km further on, park the lower vehicle at the La Dorgane picnic area. If you think there is too much risk of your car being broken into here, you can park it about 200 m further on at the road junction to la Bollène near an inhabited house. With the other vehicle, turn right at the junction onto the D70, up to the village of Bollène and through it. The road continues above the canyon. You drive through a tunnel and at the next sharp left-hand bend at the edge of the slope there is space for the second vehicle (835 m above sea level), provided you haven't got up too late.
Return: After the last somewhat larger pool, descend on the footpath on the right bank, then later on a bridge to the left bank and out to the La Dorgane picnic area. It is important not to climb up to the village of Bollène.

Approach: Follow the road briefly out of the valley and change to a sand road at the information sign. Follow the road until just before its exit and turn right at the signs onto a good path. Descend via many hairpin bends until a path branches off to the right just before reaching the streambed. Follow this path to the entry point at a large basin. You can also do the tour with just one car. Then park the car in La Giandola near the bridge and hike up the beautiful wall above the canyon - takes about 80 minutes.
Tour: Of the 20 or so places, you can slide and/or jump at least 15. It is better to go at inopportune times, as there are many groups (the first groups usually appear just after 9:00). At the key point, the rappel into the cave, you can climb up to the right and rappel through a hole or even at the exit of the canopy. Good overtaking possibility. About 100m later, there is an exit on the right up to the road. Two traverses are set up as via ferrata.

Rouéou: Canyon Start
Approach: Now continue on foot and uphill towards Refrei and Castel Tournou (yellow markers). A path that branches off to the left at a cairn later crosses "our" stream above the last higher rappel. However, we continue straight on uphill here. After about 1 hour you reach a saddle with a small white wayside shrine and shortly before that a dark rock passage. Above it is a rock face with embrasures. Here we take the path to the left - a little indistinct at first - and after a good 10 minutes we turn left at a suitable point down to the streambed. It makes no difference whether we descend 5 minutes after the turn-off or 15 minutes later.
Tour: 12 rappels, initially longer, later shorter ones. The ambience is particularly interesting, even during access.

Rouéou: Canyon End
Return: Either cross a path that leads to the farmstead on the right, or descend via a longer and further small rappel until the path from the farmstead crosses again (from here the 15 minutes are counted). Follow this to the right, first slightly uphill, later downhill and on the left side of the stream to the starting point. If you choose the first exit option, do not walk to the farmstead, but descend discreetly along the right edge of the canyon until you meet the path that leads downhill from the farmstead.

Pflerscherbach: Canyon Start
2025-07-10: Very aquatic tour. Anchors fit very well so far. According to the topographic view, rappel from the tree is no longer possible as the tree no longer exists. Jumps with deep pools.
Approach: Now we first cross the Pflerschbach to the orographic left side of the stream and follow the road westwards and over the stream. At the exit of the road, there is a dirt road/path that continues in the same direction and meets a tarred road. The bridge is directly to the left here, from which you rope down 25m into the stream. See also the photo gallery for access.
Tour: After the rappel from the bridge, 5 more rappels, slides and possible jumps follow. A tyrolienne is also possible.

Comment: wo der Pfad wieder an den Fluß kommt, Grenze des NP
Approach: From the parking lot, a path with great views, especially at the start, leads down towards Escuain and Garganta de Escuain. We cross a stream (including a beautiful waterfall for rappel), cross the Consusa at its exit below an equally beautiful waterfall and then look out for a fork where the path leads down to the left into the Escuain streambed and up to the houses of Escuain on the other side. However, we turn right here and walk northwards high above the riverbed of the Rio Yaga. Now we are already in our canyon. The path is repeatedly interrupted by small climbs (not difficult). Then we come to the exit of the parts where the first part of "our" rappel canyon ends. In the access we bypass this part on the north-eastern slope in the coppice. We return to the river bed and turn left downstream. We follow the beautifully shaped channel and throw on our wetsuits where the Bco. Lugar comes down from the right. Here we have already crossed the border of the NP to the outside. Access is also possible from the opposite side of the slope from the hamlet of Escuain. In this case, access can be made directly to the entry point via an ascent of the Bco. Lugar.
Tour: First 3 rappels, each with possible jumps as an alternative. Then follows the running route, which we have already hiked up during access. A few meters after the wall in the riverbed, which has been destroyed by the water, we come to the waterfall with the unique pool below. There are several ways to rappel here, but the highlight is a jump from a ledge on the left from a height of around 13 meters. After "landing" in the large pool, you can repeat the jump if you feel like it. To do this, walk about 100 m downstream and then follow the well-trodden tracks on the left up to the path. You can also go further downstream in the Rio Yaga and then even add the Bco, Miraval (own description).

Comment: wo der Weg von der Ortschaft Escuain nach Revilla den Fluß kreuzt
Return: We go downstream from the pool for about 100 m to the place where the path coming down from the hamlet of Escuain crosses the river. We take this path to the left and come back up to the car on our access path.

Dobra II: Canyon Start
Approach: We cross the Rio Dobra and climb up a path above the canyon for about 20 minutes. Where the slope descends again and the valley of the Rio Dobra widens, we look for a suitable descent on the slope to the right into the wide streambed here and come downstream to the entry of the canyon.
Tour: Canyon in a gloomy atmosphere; on entry at 11 o'clock partial sunshine in the deep green pools. 5 rappels. The siphon after the 2nd narrow rappel can be avoided by climbing out on the rock on the left.

Dobra II: Canyon End
Return: Immediately after the exit of the canyon, turn right and left on the concrete road to the E-Werk and the car.

Approach: On the east side of the bridge, a trail first heads north towards the edge of the Sarratana. It soon turns to the east and leads along the edge of the conglomerate canyon, rising only imperceptibly almost to the end of the valley. After crossing a small stream channel, it then descends to the entry point.

Les Fonts de Paüls: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the little road that heads west at the aforementioned left-hand bend and, keeping to the left at the first fork in the road, take 2 hairpin bends up to the cemetery, which - already visible from the parking lot - is located on the hill west of the village of Paüls. Pass the cemetery (380 m above sea level) on the right and head west for about 800 m on a slope with light blue markings. Now leave the track with the blue markers on a path to the right and hike down a little to the hamlet of Mas de Les Glories (it would be worth exploring whether the small road and the track continuing straight on from the parking lot also lead to this hamlet without a detour). Now follow the "GR 7-1" path - Cami de Montsagre - which leads over the stream up to the boulder field under the broad rock face towering above. Here, at the latest, we come across red and white markings. The path now leads northwards and crosses the l'Escudellera in a wide cirque (the author made a mistake here because the description in Gomez's book is - as usual - not precise). The correct route is to continue upwards on the path until it crosses the Bco. de Les Fonts at about 630m above sea level. This is the entry point. The internet description FEEC specifies the entry at 850m above sea level; then the canyon is also twice as long.
Tour: Due to the inadequate descriptions in Gómez's book, the author got too far down the path and only arrived at the 'affluente derecha' in the fonts themselves. Therefore, the upper part cannot be judged from personal experience. The lower part will mainly appeal to collectors. 9 Rappels.

Approach: Steep asphalt road to Gena Alta (no driving for non-residents). Take the old forest road on the right at Brunnen until you reach the streambed.
Tour: First narrow canyon (2-3h) with slides, jumps, rappels up to 30m. Then the confluence with the Val Pisson (also very rewarding). A breather on a ledge, then a 35m rappel into a huge cauldron. ("Mini-Trou de Fer"). Further along the rappel, it becomes more open and a little more playful, but there is still a lot of work to do. Here we have completed jumps of up to 18m... Finally, you reach the Schaufällen at the exit before the confluence with the lake. The small half-cave with a stone seating area on the right is great. Depending on the water level of the Lago del Mis, it may be a few meters underwater!

Approach: We cross the two bridges and continue uphill along the road. First we walk about 150m to the southwest, then - after a hairpin bend - to the NNE and cross the Buuschebach stream on an airy bridge, later heading north along the canyon. We leave the forest and keep left across the adjoining meadow down to the stream (entry - see map). \n\nThere is also the option of avoiding the "approach" in the open streambed and roping in from the canyon rim via a tree at the start of the gorge at a footbridge that crosses the canyon here (see Spanish topographic view and corresponding approach sketch). But then you need 2x30m of ropes.
Tour: The first step is a walk and downclimb (see above for side access). This is followed by a series of steps with smaller rappels. Towards the exit of the gorge there is a lot of dead wood in the stream. See also photos and video.

Access: We head for the town of Corleone, which is 35 km - as the crow flies - south of Palermo. At the exit of the 20th century, Corleone was considered a mafia stronghold in Sicily. From Corleone, we head north on the SS 118 towards Palermo. 5.2 km after leaving the center of Corleone, the SS 118 crosses a small river in a wide left-hand bend. 3.4 km further on, we turn left off the SS 118 and immediately turn left again onto a dirt road (former railroad line - cars are no longer allowed on this section in 2017), which leads us to the bridge over the river after 650 meters.
Return: We leave the canyon to the right and head west along a dirt road that takes us back to the bridge and the car.

Fou de Cardó: Canyon Start
Approach: From the inside of the bend in the road, first descend in a south-westerly direction on a clear path. After about 100 m, the path bends in a north-westerly direction, only to turn west again another 50 m later. A path now takes us down into the dry streambed. Follow this down to the 1st rappel.
Tour: Even after rain there is rarely water in the marmitas; the pool at the foot of the C55 can be climbed around; the first marmita can be avoided by rappelling from the tree on the left above (18 m). The canyon requires a relatively high effort in relation to the yield. The Balneario de Cardó, an abandoned, slowly decaying spa located at the exit of the access road, is interesting.

Fou de Cardó: Canyon End
Return: 1st option: Directly after the high rappel, turn right up the gravel slope in an easterly direction, steeply and pathlessly up to the road and on this right through the tunnel to the vehicle. 2nd option: Continue downhill for about 30 minutes in the partly quite overgrown streambed. Then a path leads out to the right and we come across the depression of the aforementioned side valley descending from the east onto a track, which we follow (if in doubt, keep left) up to the tarred road.

Fou de Cardó: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Tortosa on the C 12 up the Ebro for about 32 km in a northerly direction; then turn right to Rasquera and take the TV 3021 through the village. About 6 km further on in a SSW direction (constantly slightly uphill) we pass through a tunnel. Approx. 700 m further on we park the (possibly upper) vehicle at the side of the road on a long right-hand bend. If we have a second vehicle available and prefer the lower exit (see 'Exit'), we park it about 4 km south of Rasquera at the beginning of a wide side valley running east towards the Cardo at the junction of a dirt road coming up from below (some signs in the immediate vicinity).
Return: 1st option: Directly after the high rappel, turn right up the gravel slope in an easterly direction, steeply and pathlessly up to the road and on this right through the tunnel to the vehicle. 2nd option: Continue downhill for about 30 minutes in the partly quite overgrown streambed. Then a path leads out to the right and we come across the depression of the aforementioned side valley descending from the east onto a track, which we follow (if in doubt, keep left) up to the tarred road.

2025-05-03: Entry from pas des duro.....Gorg blau dry....sa Fosca with minimal flow but very cold and clean pools.....return from Pareis abyss
Approach: From the parking entry, follow the road in the direction of travel for approx. 100m. After the stone bridge, a forest path branches off down to the stream. There you will find an old dilapidated house (Central Electrica). Entry into the streambed at approx. 500m. Alternatively, you can enter via the Pas d'en Duro, which joins halfway down the canyon, just before the start of Sa Fosca. From Escorca, follow the road towards Soller until you come to a signposted viewpoint, just after which there are modest parking facilities on the right near a pointed rock (do not use the parking spaces at the viewpoint - if you don't have a parking space here, it is better to park in Escorca). From the parking lot at the pointed rock, walk along the road towards Soller for about 300m until you reach an iron gate in a wire mesh fence on the righthand side (N 39.82817° E 2.83288°) Go through the gate and, keeping to the right, descend on a clear path. In the area of a steep meadow by an olive tree (N 39.82898° E 2.83322°), turn left and descend across the meadow towards the saddle (1 cairn and faint tracks). In the saddle, after a brick shelter, turn right into the canyon where the first fixed rope is already installed (N 39.82939° E 2.83198°). From here, about 300m of fixed ropes lead down to the bottom of the gorge, alternatively to the fixed ropes there are also abseiling points. To climb the Pas d'en Duro ascent, hand and chest ascender are required - not a via ferrata in the true sense of the word.
Tour: Once you reach the stream, the trail initially follows the streambed, partly flat. Smaller steps can be bypassed or downclimbed. The first abseiling point is not long in coming. After about 30 minutes of walking and downclimbing, the canyon becomes more continuous. The steps are rappelled, downclimbed, jumped or slid, depending on the water level/ability. With each step, the canyon becomes more impressive and more incised. There is no need for artificial light until you reach the emergency exit in the middle of the canyon. (The emergency exit on the right is well equipped but difficult. It leads vertically out of the canyon via iron stirrups and fixed ropes. Can also be used as an entry). If you were already unsure/overtaxed up to the emergency exit, you should definitely not continue here. For well-trained canyoneers, this is where the most mentally and physically demanding, but also the most beautiful part of the canyon begins. Headlamp and spare lamp should be checked one last time before entering the "Sa Fosca" (the darkness). The canyon, especially the 2nd part, requires a water level that is not too high, as there are several narrow canyons, holes and siphons. Daylight enters the Sa Fosca in a few places. Due to the length and difficulty of the gorge, an early start is advisable. The canyon gets the best light in the morning. The steps are all optimally equipped with glued anchors or bolts. Many places can be jumped or downclimbed (depending on the water level!). After a longer swim, the canyon opens up. A final step leads to the exit of the canyon. Here the water seeps into the middle of the high rock faces before you reach the open streambed.

Comment: Parkplatz Äquadukt bei Abzweigung Sa Caldobra
Access: 40min + 10min car transfer From Port de Soller, take the main road C711 towards Soller. After the tunnel there is a traffic circle where you turn off in the direction of Pollenca. From here, follow the long winding mountain road C710 for almost 1000m, where a tunnel leads to the 1st reservoir "Embassament de Cuber" and after a short distance to the 2nd reservoir "Embassament des Gorge Blau". After another tunnel, the turn-off to "Sa Calobra" follows, with a kiosk and large parking lot on the left (parking entry). Before that, however, the shuttle car must be driven 4 km further to the parking exit at the "Escora" restaurant (parking lot on the left).
Return: Once you have daylight again, climb the last sections into the shallow streambed. Here the Gorge Blau meets the Torrente de Lluc, which you follow right over the streambed or along a narrow path (! If you go left here, you follow the Torrente de Pareis for approx. 3 hours to the sea). After about 10 minutes you will see a signpost with the path up to Escora. Follow this for approx. 1.20 hours. Steep at first, then more leisurely in many serpentines through high grass, up to the road (parking exit). (The path is not easy to see through the high grass).

Approach: Continue along the road blasted into the rock high above the canyon until you can easily descend to the left into the streambed of the Agly.
Tour: The canyon, which is up to 100 m deep, offers an impressive tour that is also heavily frequented commercially and is very suitable for beginners. A helmet is essential due to the risk of objects being thrown into the canyon from the road running along the top. Short ropes can be helpful.

Access: Leave the A-9 'la Languedocienne/la Catalane' (Montpellier-Barcelona) at exit 41 just before Perpignan and take the D-117 through Rivesaltes in the direction of Quillan. Approx. 35 km from Rivesaltes you reach Saint Paul de Fenouillet, where you turn right (north) onto the D-7 (direction Cubières sur Cinoble). After about 41½ km of driving, the last part uphill, you will reach a large parking lot at the entrance to the canyon, where you can also get a good overview. Park your car here.
Return: As soon as the canyon widens, turn left up to the parking lot. You can also continue for approx. 400 m through another narrowing (mainly swimming) and then up to the left after the dam (30 min.)

Approach: A few meters after the parking lot, you cross the streambed of the Male Vesse, where the water may be hidden under the gravel. We continue along the dirt road and then take the well-signposted hiking trail to the Refuge d'Estrop (2050 m above sea level). After spending the night at the refuge, the next morning we take the hiking trail towards the summit of Estrop, winding northwards up the broad slope. Where the slope becomes somewhat flatter and the path bends to the east (at about 2460 m above sea level), we continue to climb without a path in the previous direction to the lowest point of the ridge towering in front of us (2530 m above sea level). We cross the ridge and descend the wide ridge in the large basin on the other side, initially continuing in a northerly direction, before keeping more to the right at a solitary tree, crossing a small ridge and finally reaching the streambed of the Male Vesse. The first high rappel is clearly visible as a dark area relatively early on in the descent. You can also enter the Male Vesse pre-amont (I) at 2700 m above sea level (see web links), but the uppermost parts in the wide basin do not necessarily seem worthwhile. Although there is also a direct ascent to the ridge, it is much more pleasant via the hut. You can reserve a place to sleep by calling 0492310701 (from Germany with the French prefix and omit the zero at the beginning of the number).
Tour: The tour begins with a 112m high cauldron, which is rappelled after about 65m (2008). In the book by Fiorina/Jourdan/Tordjman, transfers are marked after 35/50/35 m. This is followed by about 17 more rappels (possibly also some slides and smaller jumps) until the exit after the second part. At the exit, you reach a longer part (pure running route) where the canyon widens and flat meadow areas can be found on the righthand side. This is the exit of the Male Vesse amont part. There is a bivouac here and you can climb up to the right to the Pont de Dédédou - from there the path leads down into the valley. The route should only be attempted after the snow has melted, i.e. preferably in late August/early September.

Approach: A few meters after the parking lot, you cross the streambed of the Male Vesse, where the water may be hidden under the gravel. About 30 m further on, at a pile of stones about half a meter high, turn left off the track and follow the tracks up into the forest. From now on, follow the cairns that continually point the way. If you lose contact with them, it is essential to find them again. So you walk up through the forest for around 45 minutes; then you come to a cirque ("ebolis" - chute, landslide?). The path branches off here. One leads up to the right in the cirque (the chute), but gets lost in the forest after two cairns. So we take the other one, which leads to a tree lying across the path (literally: crossing the path). Shortly afterwards, you will see another small cairn. Unfortunately, there are only red trail markings on the opposite side of the trees. After about 1 hour and 20 minutes, shortly after a rock face on the right-hand side, we reach another large cirque, which we do not cross, but instead walk steeply up to the right at the cairns in front of the cirque. Here we follow a chain of cairns. We come to a footbridge 130 m above the canyon (directly above the Oscuros). Then, continuing to follow the cairns, we climb to the right, cross a small cirque and a few minutes later we reach another path in which we descend steeply between trees to the streambed.\n(Translation of a French description of this access, as the author reached Male Vesse aval -III- via Male Vesse amont - II -. Caracal describes this route in the opposite direction as an emergency exit after the upper part - "Echappatoire" - see page 51 below).
Tour: The descent begins with a short dark gorge with the highest rappel (C 25), then narrower and wider rappel sections alternate, almost 20 rappels, some slides and possible jumps are offered.

Access: From Plaine des Palmistes, we first take the D55, then the little road in the direction of Bébour-Bélouve. 1.7 km after turning off the D55 - before the road emerges from the forest and just before the Bras Noir depression - we turn right into a large parking lot with a picnic hut (see Google map in photos).
Return: Before the collapsed streambed, cross the sloping rib on the left out of the streambed and a few meters through the bushes to the path at the black pipe. Follow this down to the road and on to the car.

Approach: From the parking lot, head southwest; if you have problems finding the access, proceed to the viewpoint, then west. Here you will immediately come across the dry canyon and walk along it in a northerly direction until you can climb in. If necessary, rope in from the edge via a tree.
Tour: The Sèran flowed through this canyon until it carved out the current course of the river; an alternative for the Cerveyrieu if there is too much water in the narrow access. Good to combine with the canyons of the Sèran and the Groin.

Access: After bypassing Geneva on the Swiss N 1 after the national border, take the A 40 in the direction of Lyon, Dijon, Paris. After 25 km (from the border) take exit 11 (Bellegarde Center) in the direction of Fragny, Seyssel. 6 km further on, at the end of Mons, turn right onto the D 992 and drive through Seyssel and Culoz (another 23 km), where you continue on the D 904 (towards Bourg-en-Bresse) for another 8.5 km to Artemare (62 km in total from the border). In Artemare, turn half right at the prominent left-hand bend (Rue de la Poste), cross the D 31 (Cote d'Yon) at Place de la Liberté and continue along Rue du Stade towards the school district and then out of the town. We reach the nearby bridge over the Sèran and park the lower vehicle on the left immediately after the bridge. Take the other vehicle back to Place de la Liberté and turn left onto the D 31 (Cote d'Yon). The road winds its way up to the hamlet of Don. The D 31 crosses the Groin ("Gouffre ..."). Where it turns north a few hundred meters later, turn left onto a dirt road that leads down to Sèran. Park after the bridge.

2025-04-30: First descent of the year. All anchorages correct. Normal high flow
Approach: From the car (1090 m above sea level) across the meadows uphill on a hiking trail into the forest. Follow the path, which later climbs more steeply in serpentines. After reaching a high valley, turn left down into the streambed of the Estribiella (cairn).
Tour: 13 Rappels. The first two higher steps have to be rappelled through in one go (2007) (25 m); the 'R20' rappels in the book mentioned are all a bit tight - or is that a result of rope shrinkage?

Approach: Access from the 4x4 parking lot in 10min on a barely visible path down into the streambed. Without four-wheel drive, access is 30 minutes longer.
Tour: 35 abseiling sections (mostly NIRO chains) alternate with short turbulent whitewater sections. Nevertheless, it is essential that you take a float kit with you! Calorie-rich food is essential here. The water here is colder than you would expect in Greece.

Approach: We cross the wadi in front of us via an old first and then take the path on the other side up to the yoke. From the yoke you can look down into the Wadi Ta'ab and we take the old path that leads us - sometimes barely recognizable - down to the abandoned village of Ta'ab. Here we enter the riverbed.
Tour: At first, hiking and downclimbing are the order of the day until we come to the first rappel (50 m). The block from which you rappel into the pot is reached from the left shoulder of the rock. Attach the rope to the small tree at the top. At the bottom we stand in a huge Marmita trampa. The first climber climbs out of it with the help of a few anchors and a chain, allowing the next climber to make an exit with rope assistance. This is followed by the 2nd rappel (35 m) onto a small ledge above the pool (jumping is possible from here), then 3 smaller ones (about 10 m each). Swim, slide and jump several times. We then see a natural "tunnel" at the top left and have now reached the first exit option. You can also descend the wadi a little further (about 3 hours) to the abandoned village of Harima. Here you can take a look at a cave opening. From Harima, we follow a water pipe that finally exits the wadi. Here we look for the exit to the road on the left. If you want to take this route, you have to park the lower car just 7.1 km after the highway at a dirt road on the left.

Access: From Muscat about 145 km on the highway "17" in the direction of Sur (south). At the Fins exit we leave the highway, but not towards Fins, but towards the mountains and Wusal. We now drive 8.6 km and come to the houses of Al Marfas (this is the second settlement on the left of the dirt road above the canyon). Here we park our (possibly first) car. With the second car (or on foot) we continue for another 1.1 km, where a dirt road branches off to the left. You can drive on this track until just before the village of Ta'ab, the last part is steep, stony and close to the abyss (4x4 necessary).
Return: 200 m of climbing - approx. 60 vertical meters - (up to 3+) await us, anchors for securing are available. In 2020, there was also a fixed rope at the steepest point. It makes sense for the lead climber to place a handrail using carabiners or quickdraws on the somewhat exposed passages. Then we are back at the top by the houses and our car.

Wadi Feid: Canyon Start
Approach: First descend away from the stream, see aerial photo in "Links" and https://www.wikiloc.com/canyoneering-trails/fayd-15356347
Tour: After entry, about 1 hour to the 1st rappel. A total of 12 waterfalls, some of which can be bypassed. Sequence: 25m (can be bypassed on the left) - (10m+5m+5m) - 25m - (17m+3m) - 35m -5m (can be bypassed) - 30m - (20m+7m) - 50m - 45m - 10m. Then perpetual running distances.

Suhi Potok (Baladovec): Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the markings in the direction of Planina Zapotok. After about 25 minutes, the markings leave the wide gravel bed to the right and lead steeply upwards. The path in the scree terrain is partially insured. Above the steep step, the path climbs gently through deciduous forest towards the abandoned alpine pasture. Here or just before, turn left into the streambed.
Tour: After a series of small slides, downclimbs and rappels up to 25m, the stream disappears into a very narrow gap. The three rappels that follow can be very uncomfortable when the water level is high. After this narrow passage, you stand in front of a large waterfall. 10m rappel to the orographic belay on the left, here 60m rappel to the belay on the rock island between the two arms of the waterfall. Be careful when pulling off the rope - there are many rock noses just waiting for a rope to get caught in them. From the rock island on the left, rappel about 28m to the old traverse rappel and climb carefully to the last belay on the edge on the left. From here, descend another 50m into a magnificent rock basin. Continue with some downclimbs and rappels to the last 3 rappels.

Suhi Potok (Baladovec): Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: Parkplatz vor Schranken
Access: Coming from Bovec, drive in the direction of Kranskja Gora. Before the hairpin bends of the pass road begin, turn left towards the Soca spring. Drive past the parking lot of the spring on a sand road towards the end of the valley. Parking lot at the barrier.
Return: Through the streambed back to the hiking trail.

Approach: Back almost to the Loisach bridge, but before this turn left onto the road that leads south to Farchant. Follow this road for 500m, then the road bends to the right. At this point we keep straight on in a south-easterly direction (signpost "Wasserfall"). First along the Fahrmannslaine, then passing a golf course, we come to the streambed and cross it to the northern side. There we take the path that goes up close to the stream in a south-easterly direction and exits at a bench. Here you have a view of the final waterfall and can assess the water flow. Now follow the path back a few meters and then follow an indistinct path to the right in a north-easterly direction uphill. The tracks gradually disappear. Continue upwards without a path. At around 980m above sea level, look for the descent into the still open scree streambed. If you can see the small entry waterfall at the beginning of the gorge, it is ideal.
Tour: We quickly come to the first narrowing with the first smaller rappel. This is followed by several (also higher) rappels (8 in total up to the final waterfall). At the final waterfall (52m), the large anchor in the streambed was knocked over in 2013, so we had to rappel from the large tree on the right (60m rope length). Climbing further down, you then exit to the right to the bench.

Approach: Enter the village and then take a track to the left (heading NE) down to the Viu de Llevata stream. Where the path loses its border of trees and bushes, we come to a flat and bare ridge. Here we would descend in an easterly direction to the entry to the Viu de Llevata. However, we follow the path on the ridge downhill in a northerly direction. Before we come across vegetation (trees and bushes) again, the path heads west. We follow the path, cross the Viu de Llevata on an old stone bridge and continue along the path until we reach the plateau and see the Teixidor at the bottom left.

Return: Normally you descend further in Viu de Llevata (approx. 2.5 hours), so compare to the exit there. Before reaching the Viu de Llevata, you could also turn left up a clear path to the old stone bridge and follow the approach path back to the starting point.

At the next junction, take the right-hand road and after about 400m follow a somewhat overgrown forest road to the left into the valley of the Kl. Ötscherbach. From the exit of the forest road, descend about 100m through steep forest to reach the stream.
Tour: Strong karst spring in the upper third. Many downclimbs.

Approach: Cross the bridge and ascend to the right onto a hiking trail. When the hiking trail reaches the sand road, descend to the right to a bridge over the Moznica gorge. Entry above this bridge. \You can also start the tour higher up (starting point 750m). Several small steps and slides in the lower gorge.
Tour: Several small but massive steps until you reach the first rappel. * 12m rappel from anchor left. The belay must be climbed strenuously. * 4m rappel from anchor right * 6m rappel from anchor right * 22m rappel from anchor right behind the edge, be careful when reaching the belay, better belay from the previous belay. Then rappel through the rock gate. * 15m rappel from anchor left * 10m rappel from anchor left. From here only downclimbing and sliding, first in an open canyon then in a somewhat narrower gorge.

Approach: A few steps before the fork, take the forest path that leads down to the streambed of the Riera de Sant Aniol. We follow the path, cross the stream and after 1.6 km from the junction we reach a large meadow. Here the path bends to the left away from the stream. However, we continue to follow the stream and after about 160 m we come to a small weir. Here, either on its crest or slightly below on the opposite bank. Continue north along a path in the valley. As the path continues, we cross the stream three times and finally reach the former monastery of St. Aniol d'Aguja. Continue in a north-easterly direction, first crossing the Riera de Sant Aniol again, then up the slope on the other side on a clear path. On a hilltop - Coll de Clarioles, approx. 555m above sea level - the path branches off. To the right would be the entry to the canal, but we head northwards up an increasingly steep slope. Views of the canyon open up. At a fork, we ignore the path that descends slightly to the left. Eventually we reach the top and head west towards the stream. When we reach it not far above the start of the gorge, we have chosen the optimal route.
Tour: At the beginning, entertaining rappels and possible jumps. Then the first higher step, the "Gran Collada". This is followed by a part with smaller steps, which exits at the "Salt de la Capa". After another running section, the final chord with the "Salt de Brull".

Access: From Figueres on the Perpgnan - Barcelona highway, we take the N 260 in a westerly direction and after around 22.5 km we pass the interesting town of Besalu and continue on the A-26 for another 10.5 km. Then - exit no. "75", "Montagut" - we turn right onto the GIV-5233. After 2 km we drive through the village of Montagut and turn left at the end of the village onto the GIV-5231 in the direction of Sadernes. 2 km further on we pass the entrance to the comfortable Montagut campsite and after another 3.8 km we come to the hamlet of Sadernes (also with camping facilities). It is no longer permitted to continue from here. So we walk (also possible by bike) on a dirt road that first heads west and then north uphill along the small river. 2.7 km after Sadernes we come to a junction.
Return: After a final jump into a wide pool, turn right and follow the path to the church. From here, take the approach path back to the car.

Sant Aniol: Waypoint
Comment: l\'eglise St. Aniol (descente)
Approach: A few steps before the fork, take the forest path that leads down to the streambed of the Riera de Sant Aniol. We follow the path, cross the stream and after 1.6 km from the junction we reach a large meadow. Here the path bends to the left away from the stream. However, we continue to follow the stream and after about 160 m we come to a small weir. Here, either on its crest or slightly below on the opposite bank. Continue north along a path in the valley. As the path continues, we cross the stream three times and finally reach the former monastery of St. Aniol d'Aguja. Continue in a north-easterly direction, first crossing the Riera de Sant Aniol again, then up the slope on the other side on a clear path. On a hilltop - Coll de Clarioles, approx. 555m above sea level - the path branches off. To the right would be the entry to the canal, but we head northwards up an increasingly steep slope. Views of the canyon open up. At a fork, we ignore the path that descends slightly to the left. Eventually we reach the top and head west towards the stream. When we reach it not far above the start of the gorge, we have chosen the optimal route.

Rio Rius: Canyon Start
Approach: Through the village and past the church square towards Palar. At the end of the village, a dry, brick-built streambed opens up on the right. Go through an iron gate into the streambed and ascend through it (leave the first red-marked junction on the left after a few meters). The beautiful path leads higher through rocky terrain, after a stone wall stay on the left path. After about 30 minutes you reach a wayside shrine and another 5 minutes later a crossroads with a junction. Stay on the lower path here. At the fork a little further on, also stay on the lower, unmarked path. Follow a long, in places somewhat exposed traverse to a viewpoint high above the canyon and then descend steeply into the Rio Rius valley.
Tour: * 20m rappel, anchor left at rock head * 2m jump * 50m downclimb * 20m rappel, anchor left * Downclimb and small possible jumps to the mouth of Torrente Palar A good 1.5km of hiking and downclimbing in the Torrente Palar. Short swimming passages and at the exit a nice 10m and 3m possible jumps from boulders. In summer there are many bathers here.

Approach: At the exit of the right-hand bend, where the upper vehicle is parked at the edge of the N 103, a small paved road goes down to the left. This meets a similar road coming up from the right. Follow the latter on the left (in a south-westerly direction) down to the stone bridge over the Saltadouro (entry on the left).
Tour: In the chaos at the exit, the rappel anchors are not always easy to find; twice you rappel on rope slings through narrow holes into cavities below.

Portela: Canyon Start
Comment: Portela 1
Approach: From the church, first climb northwards, then descend in a right-hand bend to the stream and the beginning of the gorge. If you want to avoid the pool filled with plastic garbage and the siphon in Part I, which is recommended, take the pathless access that starts behind the chapel and then descends keeping to the right. You will reach the stream between the 3rd and 4th drop.
Tour: If the siphon in the middle section really siphons - which is only to be expected at high water - it would be dangerous to dive through due to the strong current and the C25 immediately following. On the left wall, however, it is possible to climb over (with a handrail provided - but not easy! (In 2022, the rope was only wrapped around a "stalagtite" and could slip off - not hang fully into the rope traverse) However, a 50 m rappelling route must then also be mastered here. Otherwise, the longest rappel would be 35m. On the first rappel in part I, you should leave a rope hanging as a precaution in case you need to climb back down if the bolt above the siphon cannot be climbed (fixed rope available in 2008). You should also have a step sling ready here so that you can free yourself from the hanging belay.

Return: Exit after Portela 1: Exit when the canyon changes from solid rock to an open streambed for the first time. Climb up to the road on the right and follow it back to the church where you left your car. Or continue to Portela 2 - approx. 500 m in the streambed. Exit to Portela 2: Climb out to the left after the siphon, which only appears as such when there is a lot of water, and the following 24 m diagonal abseil and 50 m further on in the stream. Find the path upwards and then downwards along the edge of the slope until you come to an old water pipe. Follow this until you reach a gravel road. Follow this through some farmhouses to the car. Exit to Portela 3: We also walk the last part of Portela 3, which exits with a 25m dry rappel. After this 25m cascade, we turn left and after about 500m on a track that curves eastwards, we reach the car.

Altgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: From Gschwand we take the narrow road heading NW, following the signposts for "Krüner Alm". After about 800 m, we keep right at the fork and follow the forest road over the Finzbach for about 50 minutes. We come to a hairpin bend with a wooden bench, signposts and an information board. Here we leave the forest road and at this junction take the narrow track that branches off to the half-right (AV hiking trail 453, signposted "Krottenkopf"). \nThis path turns away from the Finzbach in a northerly direction and leads upwards high above the Altgraben. After the 5th wooden bridge and about 60 minutes from the wooden bench/information board, we look for a suitable area for the descent into the Altgraben (footprint available).
Tour: First we walk for almost an hour, sometimes downclimbing a few smaller pools.\nThen the first small rappel, which is now followed in quick succession by the others.\nAfter a total of 7 downclimbs, you reach the wide gravel bed in front of the bridge, where you can get off if you want to go straight back to the car.\nAlternatively, there is another descent into the Finzbachklamm gorge. To do this, walk under the bridge and soon reach the approximately 60 m high waterfall down into the Finzbachklamm gorge. At the height of the rock ledge, which is washed over by the Finzbach stream coming from the right, you will find a stand on the left where you can change (recommended rope lengths for this descent 2x35 m plus climbing gear for the person changing).

Access: From Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the B2 about 14.5 km in the direction of Mittenwald, Innsbruck, then turn right to Krün (no matter which of the 2 possible exits). Take the B 11 through Krün in a northerly direction (if you have taken the first exit from the B 2, only 20 m further), then turn left into Krottenkopfstraße. At the settlement "Im Gschwand" there is a paid parking lot for hikers at the beginning of the settlement on the right or at its exit on the left.\nIf you are coming from Innsbruck, Mittenwald, you will reach the turnoff to Krün about 7km after Mittenwald - Karwendelbahnstation on the bypass of the B 2.
Return: On the slope in an easterly direction in 1 hour back to Krün or through the Finzbachklamm (hiking canyon with another rappel - 18 m) in about 3 hours to the car.

Kramerlaine: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, walk about 100 m further upstream and then take the footbridge to the other bank. Continue straight ahead and up to the "Kramer-Plateu-Weg". Once there (800m above sea level), we reach the bridge over the Kogerlaine about 400m to the west. Immediately after the bridge, take the path to the right up towards Stepbergalm, Kramerspitz. At around 1260 m above sea level, the path crosses the cirque below the Gelbe Gwänd. Now either downclimb in this chute or return to the last steep grassy chute and descend to the stream.
Tour: Walking passages alternate with rappels. At around 860 m above sea level, we reach a longer flat passage in the open streambed. Here you can exit to the left onto a somewhat overgrown path, which later leads onto a forest path and then back to the ascent path.\nThere is now a challenging narrow passage in the stream itself before it reaches the valley floor at 760 m above sea level.\n

Approach: From the parking exit, continue in the direction of Sauris, drive through the tunnels and after a few bends (approx. 1-2 km) you will find a small parking lot on the right-hand side with a signpost on a wooden pole. Park here, the path leads directly from here down to the canyon in about 10 minutes. At a steel bridge, the path goes off to the left immediately afterwards and you are in the canyon in 2 minutes.
Tour: In the canyon itself there is only one prominent rappel of about 15m, everything else can be downclimbed or jumped. Variant: If you only want to do the upper part of the Lumiei after the Novarza, go left through the tunnel at the exit of the Novarza (at approx. 650m). There are several bolts on the left where you can attach a 20m rope. After attaching the ropes, go back about 50m to exit the Novarza orographic right at the large rock with vegetation. Before the small suspension bridge, go right down the path to enter the Lumiei after approx. 5 min. After the 20m rappel, you come back to "daylight" and to the previously attached exit rope. Climb up here and take the same route as before back to the bridge and then continue up to the parking lot

Eriste I+II: Canyon Start
Comment: Eriste I
Approach: We continue along the subsequent path and cross the Rio Eriste on the Puente Espigantosa. We continue along the path in the direction of Refugio Angel Orús, Pico de Posets. The canyon is down to the right and we can catch a glimpse of the Salto del Oso waterfall. The hiking trail forks. To the left is the Refugio Angel Orús, but we stay to the right and ascend parallel to the stream, albeit at a certain distance. The path crosses the eastern bank of the Eriste at 1920m above sea level. We join the path here. Büdeler/Flitner describe an access a little further up in their book.
Tour: 10 Rappels. Descent in wild high mountain landscape. After the first passage through the gorge, exit right onto the path and only rejoin at the bridge (part II). Walking passages again after the second narrow section. The final passage of this descent begins with the Salto del Oso (22m). The canyon opens up and we get off at the bridge.

Bargonasco: Canyon Start
Approach: Directly from the upper parking lot below the bridge.
Tour: The wooded canyon is relatively open and has some more attractive narrow sections. Sometimes there is garbage. The water looks clean. At the exit of the first narrow section is a nice 6 m slide; some jumps fail because the underwater is not deep enough. The belays are usually on steel cables attached to trees (sometimes hanging from above!).

Bargonasco: Canyon End
Return: As soon as you reach the two water drainage pipes, leave the streambed at the first opportunity and follow a path on the left bank. This leads to an old dam. Follow the drainage channel that begins here, go through a first tunnel in the channel and bypass two more. At the exit of the canal (approx. 50 m above the streambed), a path leads down to factory buildings, which you bypass on the left on a road. On the righthand side you come to the parking lot with the car parked below.

Bargonasco: Parking at Entry
Access: Leave the A 12 (Genoa - La Spezia) at Sestri Levante and take the SP 523. After Casarza Ligure, turn left uphill to Bargone. You can park your car on the left in the parking lot in front of the factory if you drive straight ahead for another 100 m on the SP 523. At the top of Bargone, follow the road from the central parking lot in the direction of Bocco. After approx. 300 m - before the road branches off - a somewhat hidden dirt track on the right leads down to the stream. There is space for the 2nd car. You can also camp (wild) here (2001).

Tour: The entry is at approx. 850Hm --> after a few meters there is an inlet and the first of many slippery downclimbs --> the canyon is very flat with only a few rappels that can be abseiled or jumped --> if the access were a little shorter and the walking passages between the canyons not so long, this would be a nice entry tour --> due to the amount of water, however, the pools at the abseiling points should not be underestimated --> the canyon is more of a jumping and hiking canyon -- at the end there are several pools one after the other with partly turbulent pools before it goes over another walking passages to a large pool in front of the weir -- exit at approx.620Hm.

Meltina: Canyon Start
2025-08-01: All weapons in excellent condition. Beautiful canyon with spectacular final rappel.
2024-08-10: After the 150 ascents of the canyon this week, the canyon was nice and grippy and in good condition.
2024-08-08: Spectacular rappel at the exit!
Approach: On foot: From the valley station of the cable car in Mölten, follow the asphalt road to the right for approx. 200m. There turn left into forest road no. 1 to "Schol - Mölten", after 200 m turn right and continue to Mölten. After approx. 1 hour, near a group of farms, turn onto the asphalt road at a blue fire hydrant. About 100 m uphill to the first bend then downhill. After the long suspension bridge, after approx. 400m hairpin bend with the actual parking entry. By car: From the parking entry follow the small path uphill in a few minutes to the stream. BY SHUTTLE: Leave the town and drive back towards Terlano on the SS 38 until you come to a restaurant building (Terlano wine bar) on the left after about 2 km, where a road leads uphill (Via Planatsch). Follow the directions on the map (click on the link at the exit of the page) until you reach the beautiful Ponte di Ferro bridge that crosses the canyon: park in the hairpin bend about a hundred meters before the bridge. From here begins the barely visible path that will take you to the starting point in 5 minutes. WITHOUT SHUTTLE: it is better to go to the park upstream first and leave your equipment there. From the park downstream, leave the village and turn right to the starting point of the cable car to Meltina (15' walk). Just past the cable car parking lot, you will find a path leading up into the forest with signs for SCHOL (see photo); walk up into the moderately steep forest and gain elevation quickly until you come out at some houses/farmhouses intersecting with an asphalt road; continue up until you reach the iron bridge that crosses the canyon and continue to the hairpin turn where the barely visible path begins that will take you to the trailhead in 5'.
Tour: * * http://www.ctgernstein.com/schluchten/moltener-bach\n * The descent in this canyon is always continuous and sustained due to the good flow; there are descents that require good rope management, mandatory handrails to reach the exposed anchors, floating parts, some small slides and even considerable jumps (always check the pool first) and also a detour on the left at the sixth descent (useful with plenty of water to avoid descending into a dangerous mouth); there are also some rings at the base of the more technical descents to set up the zip line. At the exit, the canyon drops with the beautiful waterfall of almost 80 meters (set back rigging, relay on the right at about -16 m from the start). The detailed profile can be downloaded from the AIC website in the Pro-Canyon section. This is not a canyon for beginners. To check the flow rate, walk along the path that starts from the parking lot (on one side the fire department and on the other a beautiful vineyard) until you reach the stream; on the side of a concrete fence is the hydrometer (see photo): we descended it without problems at 67 cm; some guides report that at more than 60 cm it is better to give up: in reality, we believe that the sediment deposit on the bottom of the stream below the hydrometer has distorted this "historical" data and increases the limit. We returned with a decidedly "dangerous" flow and photographed the final waterfall and hydrometer for a proper comparison (see photo gallery). Escape route on the right bank after the fourth descent, which we did not take and therefore do not know.

Access: From the Brenner highway A22, take the exit BZ Sud and take the Superstrada x Merano (MeBo). Then exit at Vilpiano and continue on the Strada Statale 38 to the beautiful village, then towards the provincial fire brigade school (signposted, see map), where you can park your car downstream in the designated spaces (observe signs and prohibitions) or in the village.
Return: Immediately after the last large waterfall on the right bank, get out and after a few minutes you will reach the parking lot in front of the fire station.

Meltina: Alternative Canyon Start
Approach: On foot: From the valley station of the cable car in Mölten, follow the asphalt road to the right for approx. 200m. There turn left into forest road no. 1 to "Schol - Mölten", after 200 m turn right and continue to Mölten. After approx. 1 hour, near a group of farms, turn onto the asphalt road at a blue fire hydrant. About 100 m uphill to the first bend then downhill. After the long suspension bridge, after approx. 400m hairpin bend with the actual parking entry. By car: From the parking entry follow the small path uphill in a few minutes to the stream. BY SHUTTLE: Leave the town and drive back towards Terlano on the SS 38 until you come to a restaurant building (Terlano wine bar) on the left after about 2 km, where a road leads uphill (Via Planatsch). Follow the directions on the map (click on the link at the exit of the page) until you reach the beautiful Ponte di Ferro bridge that crosses the canyon: park in the hairpin bend about a hundred meters before the bridge. From here begins the barely visible path that will take you to the starting point in 5 minutes. WITHOUT SHUTTLE: it is better to go to the park upstream first and leave your equipment there. From the park downstream, leave the village and turn right to the starting point of the cable car to Meltina (15' walk). Just past the cable car parking lot, you will find a path leading up into the forest with signs for SCHOL (see photo); walk up into the moderately steep forest and gain elevation quickly until you come out at some houses/farmhouses intersecting with an asphalt road; continue up until you reach the iron bridge that crosses the canyon and continue to the hairpin turn where the barely visible path begins that will take you to the trailhead in 5'.
Tour: * * http://www.ctgernstein.com/schluchten/moltener-bach\n * The descent in this canyon is always continuous and sustained due to the good flow; there are descents that require good rope management, mandatory handrails to reach the exposed anchors, floating parts, some small slides and even considerable jumps (always check the pool first) and also a detour on the left at the sixth descent (useful with plenty of water to avoid descending into a dangerous mouth); there are also some rings at the base of the more technical descents to set up the zip line. At the exit, the canyon drops with the beautiful waterfall of almost 80 meters (set back rigging, relay on the right at about -16 m from the start). The detailed profile can be downloaded from the AIC website in the Pro-Canyon section. This is not a canyon for beginners. To check the flow rate, walk along the path that starts from the parking lot (on one side the fire department and on the other a beautiful vineyard) until you reach the stream; on the side of a concrete fence is the hydrometer (see photo): we descended it without problems at 67 cm; some guides report that at more than 60 cm it is better to give up: in reality, we believe that the sediment deposit on the bottom of the stream below the hydrometer has distorted this "historical" data and increases the limit. We returned with a decidedly "dangerous" flow and photographed the final waterfall and hydrometer for a proper comparison (see photo gallery). Escape route on the right bank after the fourth descent, which we did not take and therefore do not know.

Rio Malborghetto: Canyon Start
Approach: From the Eggeralm, ascend to the Schlosshüttensattel and from there descend into the valley of the Rio Malborghetto on a path marked with occasional colored dots. From the forest hut, continue further down the valley until you reach the flat gravel bed above the old hermitage.
Tour: Upper canyon: 7 rappels up to 20m in Schrofenschlucht then 10 minutes hike until you reach the short but beautifully washed out lower gorge - 5 rappels up to 17m.\n\n

Rio Malborghetto: Parking at Entry
Comment: Eggeralm Parkplatz
Access: Similar to the neighboring Rio Bianco, very time-consuming as one car is needed on the Eggeralm and one car in the Kanaltal valley.\n\nEntry parking lot: from Hermagor up to the Eggeralm. Park at the designated parking lot\n\n\nExit parking lot: Park in Malborghetto in the area where the Rio Malborghetto flows into the Fella.
Return: Very long streambed hike with several downclimbs.\nAlternatively, you can also climb without a path to the forest road about 100m above.

Return: After a final 300m run, we see a prominent tree on the right bank (GPS: -21.02721 , 55.610818, altitude 662.5m). An overgrown track begins here, which first runs along the embankment on the river bank and then turns right into the sometimes quite dense undergrowth. Finally, we reach the road right by the car.\nIf we cannot find or miss this exit, we continue walking in the riverbed until we reach the water catchment. After a few meters along the riverbank, we come to a track on the right that also takes us to the road. Now turn right up to the car for the exit.

Vallon du Monar aval (II): Canyon Start
Approach: Above the bridge directly into the stream. If you only have 1 vehicle available, you can also climb up on a path (then access approx. 1 hour)
Tour: This canyon, which is not suitable for beginners due to its length, has a very long hiking route in the middle section, which, however, practically always runs in an incised canyon environment and offers only a few escape routes. The start and exit in particular offer fascinating abseils. Towards the exit, below the Chapelle St Sebastien, there is a rockslide that has to be climbed over.

Vallon du Monar aval (II): Canyon End
Return: Shortly before reaching the Pont de Clans, turn right on the marked "sortie canyon" path up to the road and then right to the parking lot. An exit is possible beforehand at the water drainage. This leads up to the road, which you reach just above the chapel. In this case, park the car (possibly the lower one) at the chapel.

Vallon du Monar aval (II): Parking at Entry
Access: From Nice, head north into the Tineetal valley (D 2205 towards Isola) as far as Pont de Clans. This is the parking exit. As you should not annoy the local residents by parking your car here, drive about 200m further to a parking lot at the junction of the road to Clans. Drive up to Clans in a second vehicle (D 55) until you reach a sharp leftward haipin bend after 4.5 km, which lies directly under a high-voltage power line. Turn right at the hairpin bends and follow the narrow tarred road slightly downhill for 300 m around the ridge. Turn left at the next Y-junction (slightly uphill, then flat) and after 500 m turn sharp right (signpost "pont romain") and follow the gravel road for 1 km directly to the entry point at the bridge.

From here, walk up the slopes until you come to an old water pipe running across the slope at around 680 m above sea level. Follow it to the right to the entry point. In the internet sources mentioned or in the book cited, an access route is described from the car northeast up the meadow and past the hamlet of Haut Agnerc above.
Tour: Mini-canyon, but attractive due to jumps into the sinter pools and the reddish limestone deposits in the streambed.

Val di Nai: Canyon Start
Approach: From Malga Prà delle Noci (685m altitude) we follow the signposts to Malga Prà Pià (1350m altitude) - compass hiking trail 222. Before reaching Malga Prà Pià, we turn off the path to the left down to the stream. Here we walk downhill to an altitude of 1225m, where we join the trail.
Tour: 20 Rappels. After about 2/3 of the descent, the stream from the Valle di Propriano comes from the left. We now continue in this stream. At the 65m rappel highlight (which can also be broken - about 45/20) there may be problems with the rope retrival. After the last (40m) rappel, the descent in the stream comes to an exit (925m altitude).

Comafreda: Canyon Start
Approach: At the bridge we descend into the streambed.
Tour: First downhill in the relatively open streambed. Sometimes water still flows here, but then seeps away a little later. The sequence of around 14 rappels begins with a 15m rappel with shorter runs in between. We finally come to a slide brake where the descent exits.\nThis is where the somewhat problematic zone begins, where you cannot avoid walking further down the stream over private ground. Shortly before reaching the slope to the right of the stream, we pass a property to the right of the stream ("Sa Coma" - barking dogs) and a barbed wire stretched across the stream.

Access: From the ring road around Palma 33 km on the Ma13 highway to Inca. From here on the Ma2130, past Selva to Calmari (8 km from the highway exit). Here turn right off the Ma2130 and drive 2.5 km in a north-easterly direction to Binibona, where you continue half-left in a northerly direction ("Hotel Abellons"). We always drive along the orographic right bank of the stream (Torrent de Sant Miquel), as far as permitted by road traffic law, probably up to the point where the road towards the hotel bends away from the stream (900m from Binibona).\nWith the second car we return to Calmari and continue uphill on the Ma2130 towards Lluc. After 8 km and a few hundred meters before the top of the pass (Col de la Batalla), after which the road branches off, the road crosses the Torrent de Comafreda. We park our car here.

Approach: We now follow the path on foot to the mountain huts of Motto dei Damini. This initially heads NNW, then turns SW and finally heads towards the Mengasca valley. From the Motto dei Damini mountain huts (670m a.s.l.), continue along the trail, climbing slightly to the SSW (black plastic pipe in the ground) until you reach the next stream cut. 20m further on - path now on the edge of the slope - down to the right, always following the red markings into the streambed. If you do not have a second vehicle available for this conversion, you can also climb up the orographic right-hand slope of the Mengasca. The initial path loses itself in the forest and we ascend without a path until we reach the path to Alpe Motto dei Damini. Turn right here and continue as described above (access from below approx. 2 hours).
Tour: A sequence of beautiful abseils, interrupted by short walks and downclimbs. The C 55 in the wide beam is impressive. However, this can also be rappelled approx. 10m around the corner (cross rappel), then there are still 46m to go.

Approach: Across the meadows west of the canyon or via Erler-Berg-Strasse. The upper weir and the sections leading to it can be overcome by climbing and balancing, which is not without danger (quite nice...), but you can also simply walk around it. A few fun steel ladders make the way up easier.
Tour: The short gorge section about 15 minutes after the entry is really beautiful. After that, the route continues very steadily in a V-shaped valley. At the exit there are two lakes, each with weirs. We skipped the second part of about half the route (~2km) to the reservoirs out of boredom, so no description can be given for this part. However, you can look in from above and it doesn't look very interesting (please correct if necessary as soon as you've been there!). The access or the way back is very long, depending on where you put the car. It is very advantageous to have a driver or two cars when walking the entire route. We recommend an exit after the three cascading steps that come after the gorge. After that there is nothing interesting for a very long time.

Finsterbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the marked access to the waterfalls. The lowest waterfall is a good place to estimate the water level. At the spring, do not follow the hiking trail to the third (uppermost) waterfall, but follow the blue dots steeply upwards without a path in places.
Tour: Three beautiful waterfalls, 35m, 21m and 24m, in between uninteresting block and walking terrain that is better avoided on the hiking trail. At the first two waterfalls the anchor is orographic left, at the last fall orographic right. You can climb up to the accompanying hiking trail at any time. The chain anchors are very massive but unfortunately too far back: Watch out for the sharp edges on the upper two rappels. Pulling off the rope on the top rappel is very difficult.

Finsterbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: In der Dorfstrasse, unterhalb der Volksschule gibt's ausreichend Parkplätze. Entlang den Wasserfallweg keine Parkplätze, alles Privatgrundstücke
Access: Leave the A10 at the Ossiacher See exit. Take the B94 to Sattendorf and follow the signs to the waterfalls.
Return: Follow the hiking trail back to the parking lot.

Finsterbach: Canyon End
Return: Follow the hiking trail back to the parking lot.

Gnaupenloch: Canyon Start
2025-09-08: Access with e-bike 10min + 45 minutes hiking to the entry. Stands ok, a few loose anchors but tightened. Great canyon, lots of pushing in the canyon
2025-08-23: Very nice canyon - as in the previous ascents, a lot of debris. Stands are ok - one stand can be "climbed" or reached with a "robber's ladder". All others can be reached normally.
2025-07-05: A lot of pushing.
Approach: From the upper parking lot, we take the forest path that leads directly above the hospital in an easterly direction. Follow the signs to the "Solsteinhaus" here and beyond. If you only have one car available, it is best to park it in the lower parking lot and then walk up the forest path that ends here. After just 300 m, you have the first opportunity to change to the upper access path ("Brunnalm"). After 2 km (from Hochzirler Straße) there is a second option (easy forest path) and after about 3 km a third option (just before crossing the Ehnbach). Follow the signs to the "Solsteinhaus". At an altitude of 1385 m above sea level, we pass the freight elevator to the Solsteinhaus. We continue uphill on a path past a fountain with fresh water. At 1610 m above sea level, we pass a hunting lodge (on the left) and shortly afterwards come to the Soln-Alm (1645 m above sea level - also with a fountain). To the right of the path we now see a fenced-in wooden cross. Directly to the left of this, a path leads down to the stream.
Tour: After about 100m in the open gravel bed of the Ehnbach stream, the gorge begins. Now follows a long series (about 30) of shorter rappels (mostly outside the beam) until you reach the exit of the first section of the gorge after about 2 hours. Here, if necessary, you can climb steeply up to the slope. The more recommendable variant leads after another hour and 5 not unattractive rappels as well as a longer stretch in the stream bed gravel down to the exit on the crossing piste.

Approach: We now follow the slope on foot for about 35 minutes (alternatively also possible by (e-)bike). Then we follow the signpost "Jas de Jartier". We ascend in serpentines, at an altitude of almost 1500m, a hiking trail walks in from the left. Further up, the path branches off (1580m altitude), we stay left. At an altitude of just over 1800m - we can now see the huts of Jas de Jartier and the Colombier waterfalls - we leave the path and cross into the streambed above the waterfalls.
Tour: First some smaller steps, some of which are slippery. Then about 20 rappels, first in relatively open terrain, later more indented. The tour exits when we see the slope on the left.

Return: Directly from the end of the gorge on the opposite slope, ascend onto a path. The first few meters are indistinct, then the path soon becomes more clearly visible. A rope safety device and a massive concrete staircase help you over a conglomerate upswing before the remaining meters of altitude are overcome with steep hairpin bends.

Rabenwinkelgraben: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue along the track and cross the Isar on or next to a dam. About 300m further on, the track bends to the right. At the exit of the right-hand bend, we turn left onto a slope that leads north. 70m further on, we also turn right off this track and take the forest path, which initially leads us steeply uphill in a northerly direction. About 500m after it begins, the path turns left and after another 200m we come to the Staffelgraben (this path - from Isar - can be easily traced on the "Bayernatlas" (tick "Wanderwege" in the menu, then marked in orange): layers=e528a2a8-44e7-46e9-9069-1a8295b113b5 . Now cross the Staffelgraben, then keep left of the Seibertsgraben flowing towards us (i.e. orographic right of it) up the steep slope and at an altitude of 930 m we come to a transverse and horizontal forest road. Up to here the same access as to Staffelgraben. Now take the forest road to the right in the direction of Jachenau, Höfen. The slope approaches the Seibertsgraben. Where it crosses it, we can easily get in without disturbing the marshy meadows.\nAccess is also possible where the forest road comes close to the stream for the first time. The cascades begin here immediately.
Tour: Alternate between walking, downclimbing and rappel. Some possible jumps. Nothing changes once you reach the Seibertsgraben.

Rabenwinkelgraben: Canyon End
Return: A few meters before the Seibertsgraben flows into the Staffelgraben, turn right, cross the Staffelgraben and follow the approach path back to the car.

Approach: From the road, initially without a path down to the river, we come across a path running parallel to the slope. Follow this downhill above the river until it finally winds down into the river bed (near a pipeline that crosses the river here).
Tour: First in the open riverbed, which usually still has water at the beginning. After just a few minutes, the water seeps into the ground and the descent continues - apart from a small but deep pool that can be climbed around - in the dry. Only after a walk of around 1.5 hours and a few passages for downclimbing do we come across the first compelling rappel. The canyon becomes more and more notchy and becomes more and more attractive. There are 27 rappels to complete. They are listed in detail at http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=13937747.

Torrente La Foce: Canyon Start
Approach: Either rappel from the bridge with a 30m rope or follow the road on the ororg. left bank about 100m uphill until you can descend into the streambed.\n\nIntermediate access:\nAt the southern end of the bridge, follow a path that quickly becomes clear to the water cave (or descend to the bottom of the gorge without a path beforehand)
Tour: Right at the beginning, you should not miss out on exploring the short gorge of a tributary stream from the left. Over the next 2.5 kilometers, the stream forces its way through narrow gorges with a depth of between 10 and 50m. There are always short, more open passages, but leaving the canyon in an emergency is likely to be very difficult. Slippery rock and plenty of downclimbs, possible jumps up to 4m, in 2011 there was an abseil point over a clamping block. Side streams with waterfalls flowing into the gorge and rock faces densely overgrown with ferns create a jungle atmosphere. In the area of a gorge widening with large boulders, a powerful stream flows in from the right, which rises a few steps above from a water cave (explored over >1km in 2018). Plan(rilievi) here: http://www.catastogrotte.it/dettaglio_grotta.php?ID=1709 \nThe intermediate entrance also leads to this cave.\nThe canyon becomes more aquatic, and the route heads towards the final gorge via a series of pools. There is a lot of swimming and jumping in the gloomy gorge, and you have to rappel twice in tree entanglements. The canyon flows into the Arzino at a wonderful swimming spot (possible jumps of up to 10m).\n\nIf you want, you can also swim through the last canyon of the Arzino. This begins with two easy steps and exits in a long swim below the road bridge.\nAfter the end of the gorge, follow a steep path on the left up to the road.

Approach: Continue along the road until you reach a bridge. Cross the stream and continue on the road until you cross the Rio Cjanevatte (in front of a large meadow). NEW: Access option via the bunker: headlamp required. At the exit of the canyon, you can enter the bunker on both sides of the rock face. The photo with the entry is on the orographic right side of the canyon exit at a large dark half-cave. The 2nd entry is at the climbing garden. Both shafts are overcome via 2 secured steps, one with a rope and the second with an aluminum ladder. Once at the upper exit, follow the dilapidated war path to the entry into the canyon. The middle entrance is a wooden rope ladder and the upper main entrance is a tasty overhang abseil.
Tour: Impressive scenic gorge, very narrow in sections. The first, widely overhanging rappel is particularly interesting. Unfortunately a lot of wood and very short. After the gorge you should not miss to visit the tunnel system crossing the gorge (entrance in the area of the half cave on the orographic right side of the gorge exit).

Moeserkargraben: Canyon Start
Approach: "The access leaves us about 500m further on the slope, from which we continue straight ahead in a south-westerly direction in a sharp rightward haipin bend - a few meters before reaching the bridge over the Lalidererbach. For the following. Here is an excerpt from a mountain hiker's report: "... follow a forest road for about 2km; leave it at a rightward haipin bend (800m after the Möserkargraben), where it leads down to the Gumpenalm hut - from now on, scouting skills are required! After a short descent to Klausboden, the path leads left (eastwards) up the clearly marked Klausgraben, which is temptingly easy to follow - however, I climbed much too high and therefore later had difficulty finding the "official" tracks; on the way back, I therefore erected a cairn at the point of the Klausgraben where you have to leave it orographically to the right (i.e. left in the sense of the ascent) to get into the forest. You reach this point before the Klausgraben becomes steeper, i.e. relatively far down, at around 1200m above sea level!\n\nFrom here you now have to follow the climbing tracks in the forest - sometimes steeper, sometimes flatter, sometimes reasonably visible, sometimes less recognizable. They initially lead up the western slope of the Gamsjoch north ridge and reach it where it dips into the forest at around 1440m. It is essential to find this point - the AV map shows the previous route quite clearly. At the same time, this point offers the first opportunity to get a reasonably good view of the route - so far it has always gone through forest. From the P6 parking lot, it will take about 1.5 hours to get here.\n\nThe path now becomes pleasantly good for a while: it crosses the screey northern slopes of the Gamsjoch north ridge exactly eastwards towards the lower edge of the Möserkares, always at the upper edge of the very dense mountain pines. Right at the beginning there is flat terrain to walk on, which is a bit uncomfortable (especially later on the descent) - I would call this singletrack terrain, although you need your hands more for moral support and to find your balance occasionally.\n\nDuring the following half hour, I crossed over and wondered how it would continue at the lowest exit of the Möserkares. You head towards the upper exit of the mountain pine belt there - at some point you will recognize a cairn on an embedded patch of rock, from which you can reach the wide saddle (1789m) between Ruederkarspitze and the Roßkopf peak in front. In between, you should take a look at the enormous high mountain landscape in which you are moving: the Falken group opposite with the impressive Blausteigkar deserves particular attention!\n\nAbout 9:15 a.m., I had reached the aforementioned Schrofenfleck with cairn - and was a little perplexed: where would I continue through these energy-sapping mountain pine fields? On the AV map, the small dots that now lead exactly northwards 200m to a stream are very easy to read - but what is required here is mountain pine fighting at its best: 5m up, 10m down, 15m up again, always looking for the least resistance, so I fought my way doggedly through - and finally reached the aforementioned stream, which flows directly down into the Möserkargraben." \nSo far the report ( http://www.hikr.org/tour/post12377.html ) .\n\nWe don't climb up that far, however, but at an altitude of around 1360m we look for a - pathless - descent option into the streambed of the Möserkargraben below the waterfalls of the two \nspring streams.\n\nRiml/Amor describe a pathless access via the western flank of the Möserkargraben. Here, too, the descent into the stream through the mountain pine fields causes orientation problems.
Tour: see photos and video!

Moeserkargraben: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Vorderriß in the valley of the Isar along the Rißbach to Hinterriß (10.7 km), from here take the toll road (2018: 4.50 euros) for another 8 km until the slope into the Laliderertal valley turns off to the right at an acute angle.\nFrom here, cycle 3 km to the bridge over the Möserkarbach. Alternatively, you can park your car where the path to the Lalidertal begins ("Lalidertal, Falkenhütte, Hohljoch").
Return: Exit onto the road bridge and back to the car.

Approach: Follow the signs for "Gießenbachklamm". After about 30-40 minutes, descend under the bridge in front of the dam wall.
Tour: Easy and relatively short gorge. Beautiful in the morning as the sun shines in from the east. Very easy to find, signposted from Kiefersfelden and marked on every hiking map. Scenic and formations very beautiful. 3 very short places for slides, 5 very short and easy abseils, 4 small jumps possible. Description and rating here applies to low water. Much more difficult at high water and belays partly under water. There is a small dam above the canyon. When water is released, the water level can rise quickly (water surge possible). The gorge is also used by tour operators.\nA 15m long rope is all you need.

Approach: Parking is possible in Pian di Qua and Pian di La. Access from both parking lots takes the same amount of time. If you choose the parking lot in Pian di La, you will be rewarded with a hike through the narrow streets of the village at the beginning of the access. The marked trail 622 leads directly to the streambed at a wayside shrine. Get in here.
Tour: Two unspectacular 20m abseils lead to the first passage of the 130m waterfall. First you rappel 30m into a small hanging pool, from where you reach the chain anchor for the next 60m (overhanging). On the following plateau you will find an anchor from which you can reach the actual belay on the edge. From here it is a good 40m to the ground.

Wadi Dham: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car, walk towards the orographic left rock face and follow the path that climbs up under the walls. Later it descends into the river bed. We see an old stone carving on a boulder and pass a small sinter pot. Later, on the left, we see a shallow boulder (which you can also swim under) covered with vegetation. Where the river makes a bend of about 90 degrees, there is a cave on the righthand side, from which a spring pours out.\nNormally, this is the turning point. However, you can also walk further upstream and after a largely open stretch of river you will come to another attractive narrow section.
Tour: Downstream, you can largely move around in the water. There are also some slides and possible jumps.

Wadi Dham: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We come from Muscat on the "15", pass the turn-off to Nizwa in the north after about 155 km, cross the Wadi Mahanna a little later and after another 37 km meet the "21", which comes from Bahla in an easterly direction. We now continue on the "21" in the direction of Ibri, but after 34.8 km (from reaching the "21") we turn right (in a northerly direction) to Al Ayn. After 25.8 km we get there and can take a look at the "beehive tombs" ( Al Ain beheeve tombs) located on a hill. Then we continue for another 11.5 km and the road finds its continuation in the streambed of the Wadi Dham. Depending on the condition of the road and the weather conditions, you can drive up the wadi in a 4x4 vehicle until you reach a large semi-cave within sight of the dam that drains the water. We park the car here at the latest.
Return: Once you reach the water drainage and the car parked by the half-cave, the tour comes to an exit.

Brusnik: Canyon Start

2024-08-03: Really beautiful and varied tour. In the upper part with little water and deep cuts, the route leads to the mouth of the Rocica without long walking passages. The protection was significantly improved...
2024-06-15: Most of the anchor points in the canyon have been changed, single bolts or chains. Beautiful canyon. Poor water quality if there is no rain.
Approach: At a distance of 30m from the southern abutment of the bridge over the Brusnik in the village of Kosec, a path leads across fields down to a chapel. Behind the chapel, go through the gate in the fence and look for a good place to abseil from one of the trees. We walked about 50 meters upstream in the forest and rappelled from the embankment. It is not worth getting into the stone-lined streambed at the road bridge.
Tour: Initially deep canyon with poor water quality. The protection sometimes only consists of old 8mm bolts.\ in emergency exit is only possible at the confluence with the Rocica. Here the amount of water triples in favor of better water quality. Spectacular is the massive 65m final waterfall, which is rappelled outside the waterline and flows into a huge basin - here you should use a 70m rappel rope. A much longer abseil rope is practical.

Then exit right onto the path and follow the stream parallel to the forest for a few more meters until you reach a brick weir step and turn right onto the road back to the car.

Access: From Athens, take the A-1 towards Thessaloniki as far as Lamia and then drive west into the Pindos Mountains. Drive around 50 km to Georgios, then take the winding mountain road via Karpenisi down to the Tauropos River. Continue uphill on the road towards Agri(nion). About 3 km after crossing the river (at a small pavilion), the road to (Nea-)Viniani turns off at a sharp angle to the right (north). At the exit of the village or the bypass, a dirt road turns off to the right after a hollow in the terrain, which leads to a sheepfold about 150 m to the north. Shortly before this, there is a good parking space for the car.\nA second car can be parked a little above the arched bridge over the Tauropos. To get there, drive back from the upper parking area onto the tarred road, turn left towards the national road and left again at the pavilion. After a few hundred meters, take a sharp right turn onto a dirt road and follow this until you reach a downhill section that leads to an arched bridge over the river Tauropos. Depending on the condition of the slope, park the car before the steep section. Note: If you are coming from the other (Adriatic) side (Igoumenitsa, Ioannina), you can drive to (Nea-)Viniani via Agri(nion) and the Acheloos reservoir.

Approach: From the parking lot, continue along the road on a slope that first runs behind the soccer field and then, after a leftward haipin bend, descends through a chestnut forest into the valley behind the sports field. You reach the exit of the slope at a meadow with two vacation homes on the left (approx. 250 m from the sports field). On the right below the two houses on the edge of the slope is an old house with a barn. Walk along the edge of the meadow in the direction of this barn, past the barn, continue down the ridge and where the path loses itself in the forest, descend to the left without a path to the streambed.
Tour: Despite the long transfer route and the relative remoteness from the usual tourist routes, this tour is worthwhile in a lonely scenic setting. See photos and video.

Comment: am Sportplatz
Access: If you want to do the whole tour, you will need two vehicles. However, if you get off before the last 40 m waterfall, you only need to drive to the entry point. Parking lot exit: From Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, head north on the SS-445 to Poggio. Turn left here and drive to the Lago di Vagli reservoir. Before the road crosses Torrente Edron on the lower right, a narrow tarred road branches off to the left and leads to Vergaia, a hamlet of a few houses on the northern shore of the lake. In this hamlet, the road passes above the houses and becomes a gravel track. Park your car a few hundred meters further on at a cemetery chapel. Entry to the parking lot: Take a second car back to the junction at the road to the reservoir and continue back to Poggio. Shortly before the village, turn right uphill towards Careggine. Approx. 1 km after Careggine, a road branches off to the right to the sports field (Campi sportivi). Follow this road downhill and just before the sports field turn left along the narrow tarmac road to the entrance of the sports field. Park your car here and the transfer distance is 15.2 km.
Return: After a 40 m high waterfall and an 8 m abseil point, you first walk approx. 100 m further along the streambed and reach another open 40 m waterfall. Here (above this waterfall) you can ascend to the left on an inconspicuous path back to the entry point (not tested by us). Once you have parked the car in Vergaia, however, you can rappel down this beautiful waterfall. Further downstream, you can see a stream flowing in from the left. Turn right here onto a path. A clearly recognizable path above the lake later leads north around a bay and further along the lake towards Vergaia. Another alternative is to be picked up by a boat at the mouth of the stream into the lake; this can be organized with the owner of the Albergo Le Alpi in Vagli di Sotto.

Cugnasco (superiore): Canyon Start
2025-06-01: 4 rocks washed over, no problem for canyonists who know the canyon very well.
2024-09-12: Good trip! Some nice abseils. Anchors are in good condition. The flow was normal today.

Approach: We continue along the dirt road and after about 350m we come to the houses of Alpe Ronchi. Here we take a few steps downhill, then we see the signpost "Curogna 705" on a white background and a signpost on the right down to "Cugnasco 1h". We would come up here if we only had 1 car available. However, we continue horizontally here, following the signs for "Monti Velloni 1h". The path leads into the forest, but after a few meters it goes uphill to the left, while we take the faint trail that continues more or less horizontally. We pass a stone house on the left and now follow the path, which is sometimes slippery and barely perceptible, then clearly recognizable again. After a ridge, we find ourselves high above the Valle di Cugnasco. We pass - somewhat exposed - a small rock overhang, then continue downhill. Where the path exits abruptly in a narrow rock chute, we climb steeply down to the right of the chute to the stream (can also be rappelled from trees). Luca Nizzola: "If you survive the approach on foot ..."
Tour: The tour begins immediately with the highest and most impressive 55m waterfall (anchor left). After about 16m to the right of the watercourse (but practically in the fall line), there is a comfortable switch, from which you rappel the remaining 43m. This is followed by a small jump (S4). We jammed down the following chute a bit and then jumped. The next rappel (15m) leads left onto a wide ledge. If you want to avoid the following chute, you can take the anchor on the top left above the rock structure (approx. 20m). The following rappel from the block in the narrow chute (C8) can be unpleasant if there is a lot of water. But then you are soon at the last rappel. Here you reach the belay on the right outside the beam after about 8m (possibly with a redirection right above). From here you descend the last 25m almost dry. After about 300m we come to the entry into the Cugnasco inferiore, possibly our exit to the right and up to the parking lot at 450m above sea level. The path starts to the right of a large boulder that lies directly on the right bank.

Cugnasco (superiore): Parking at Exit
Access: First as for Cugnasco inferiore: From the Locarno/Bellinzona road, turn off at the bridge over the stream in the village of Cugnasco and drive upstream on the left towards "Medoscio". 200 meters further on, in the parking lot on the left before the second bridge, you can park a car at the canyon exit if you want to add the Cugnasco superiore to the Cugnasco inferiore (450m above sea level). The road now winds steeply up the slope in hairpin bends. After the fourth left hairpin bend and the following right-hand bend, there is a small unpaved parking lot on the right. There are two signs opposite: "Via Medoscio" and a few meters further on "Sentee Colett" (park the lower car here if you only want to walk the upper part of the Cugnasco (450m above sea level). Continue uphill on the tarred road in the other car. After a left-hand bend and a longer straight section, there are 5 successive hairpin bends to the right and just as many to the left. At not quite 700m above sea level, we turn right after a detached house, pass the houses of the hamlet of Curogna on the north side, then keep left and park the second car about 400m after the turn-off (720m above sea level). The approach is also possible by bus, which runs approximately every 2 hours, with slightly shorter intervals in the morning.
Return: Either as described above right up to the parking lot at 450m above sea level or at the exit of the lower parts right from the slide brake out to the road.

At not quite 700m above sea level, we turn right after a detached house, pass the houses of the hamlet of Curogna on the north side, then keep left and park the second car about 400m after the turn-off (720m above sea level). The approach is also possible by bus, which runs approximately every 2 hours, with slightly shorter intervals in the morning.
Return: Either as described above right up to the parking lot at 450m above sea level or at the exit of the lower parts right from the slide brake out to the road.

Buuschebach: Canyon Start
Approach: From P1 take the hiking trail down to the bridge (entry).
Tour: First several hundred meters in the open streambed before the stream gorges. After about half of the total distance, about 6 smaller rappels follow to the exit of the canyon. There can be dangerous situations at the intake pumps if the water flow is high enough (e.g. due to dead wood). Access to several anchors is also not easy in some places. For this reason, it is advisable to make the ascent at the end of summer/beginning of fall, when there is less water. Before the inflow of the Morgetebach stream, we pass a water drain. It feeds the turbine of a small power station that used to supply electricity to the now demolished Weissenburgbad hotel building. It is still in operation today.

Buuschebach: Canyon End
Return: At the confluence with the Morgetebach stream coming from the right, turn right (890m altitude) onto the hiking trail. We ignore a second bridge over the Buuschebach and always keep left at the following forks. At a house, we step onto a meadow, then keep left towards a stream and, after crossing it, climb 80 meters uphill to the road, where we turn right to our (possibly lower) car at P. With the alternative route (car for the exit in Weissenburgberg - P2), the descent remains the same until the second bridge. At the first junction, we also keep left (to the right would be the meagre remains of the former Weissenburgbad). At the next fork, however, we would keep right and - keeping left at the beginning of the meadow - come directly to the car at P2 (see map)

Sparchenbach: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, we cross the road towards the bridge and then take the path up into the Kaisertal valley. After an ascent of around 25 minutes (approx. 150 vertical meters), we turn right towards the Tischofer cave. A little later, shortly before the first right-hand serpentine, we turn left onto a path that takes us across the meadow to a water pipe that leads - almost flat - into the valley of the Sparchenbach stream. If the prohibition of passage, which apparently only serves as an exclusion of liability, hinders you, do not turn off the main path towards Kaisertal, but continue uphill, past the Veitenhof inn to the hamlet with the Pfandl inn. A few meters after Gasthof Pfandl, a slope branches off to the right down to Sparchenbach (towards Klaushütte). No matter which path we take, we reach the Sparchenbach and can descend into the streambed before reaching the water drainage.
Tour: River walk in an initially relatively open valley until the river increasingly carves its way between towering walls. A 3m waterfall invites you to jump, but can also be bypassed.

Sparchenbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: We leave the Inntalautobahn (A12) via exit 1 Kufstein Nord. At the traffic circle we take the (3rd) exit onto the B175 heading NE. 450 m further on we cross the Sparchenbach, but then continue for another 570 m to turn right into Kaiserbachstraße at the exit of the forest. 700 m further on - before reaching the bridge over the Sparchenbach - we come to a parking lot for hikers who want to explore the Kaisertal. We park our car here.
Return: Left up to the road bridge and over the bridge to the car.

Sparchenbach: Canyon End
Return: Left up to the road bridge and over the bridge to the car.

Ladral: Canyon Start
2023-08-12: Actually, only the part above the bridge from the approach and the abseils afterwards are worthwhile. Much seems to have collapsed and it is also not really beautiful.
Approach: We climb up the orographic right-hand slope without a path until we reach a path coming up from the left at an altitude of around 1900m. We cross "our" stream at an altitude of around 2000m by following it uphill to the right. Now follow the stream uphill without a path to the entry point at 2040m.
Tour: A total of about 20 rappels, whereby the lower, more indented part seems more interesting.

Return: Where the streambed widens, turn right at a suitable point and cross the meadow to the car.

Torrente Poschiadea: Canyon Start
2024-09-08: Directions adapted. Park at the generator house because the neighbor on the upper road is not happy when his property is parked on. A nice hiking gorge with some water and a few dips and jumps
Approach: Follow the forest road uphill, keeping right at the first fork. Follow the marked hiking trail to a ford just before the mountain station of the wooden cable car (sign Stua)
Tour: Left of the tree, rappel 15m or downclimb 50m behind it. Rappel 7m from anchor on the left, then small jumps to a chain anchor on the right from which you descend 8m. A longer hike follows with the inflow from the Canal di Mezzo which more than doubles the water flow. 8m jump or rappel left from chain anchor (anchors available for deviation). Siphoned basin, be careful with high water levels. Downclimb and rappel 10m from the right over sloping rock slabs. Continue downclimbing and jumping until you reach a rockfall zone with large boulders. Abseil 5m into the gap on the left, then climb around the next 3 waterfalls on the right (there are 3 more rappels here, take a drill with you :) ). The Rio di Peschis comes in from the right, possibly also interesting as a canyoning tour. After a few downclimbs and small jumps, the canyon narrows again - another slide and a 2m rappel/jump (anchor for traverse on the right) until you reach the dam with water drainage. There are 5 more nice jumps up to 6m before the canyon exits.

Access: Take the A23 to the Carnia exit, then the SS52 to Tolmezzo and via Villa Santina and Ampezzo to Forni di Sotto. Drive through the village and turn sharp left after the end of the village (signs Campo Sportivo etc.). Follow this road until you reach the first houses, then turn right and follow the road until you reach a brick ford over the Tagliamento. If the ground clearance of the car allows, cross the ford and turn left behind it and drive to the generator house at Rio Poschiadea and park there. Directly at the generator house there is an inconspicuous path up to the forest road.
Return: Follow the streambed until you reach the power station house on the right. Behind the house, take the path back to the parking lot

Rio Garmoran: Canyon Start
2024-10-06: Walked today. A nice canyon with some climbing and walking passages. When there is a lot of water in Friuli, it's a nice opportunity to do something.
Approach: Only briefly follow the sand road into the valley of the Rio Nembrinette, when the road leaves the streambed, turn right onto a small path (small cairn, path is narrow but clear). Follow this path steeply to an abandoned mountain pasture, then cross less steeply into the valley of the Rio Garmoran (many red markings at the end). When you reach the rocky dry bed of the Rio Teis, descend. Entry above a beautiful plunge pool.
Tour: 3m jump into a nice round pool, then a short slide into another deep but small pool. The water then seeps away and a long hiking/climbing section begins with a short 10m tree abseil. When the water reappears, a few short slides and downclimbs follow, and a few jumps are also possible. A 20m drop is rappelled from 2 anchors on the left, then a short downclimb/hike until you reach the last high drop into the Rio da Cout valley: a short downclimb, then an 18m rappel from the left (the narrow pool is jumpable, but the drop afterwards is not), then a 50m rappel from two anchors on the right over a beautiful waterfall. From here it's just hiking/downclimbing with two possible jumps.

Approach: Cross the Torrente Settimana and follow the marked hiking trail 375 uphill on the other side. After several steep hairpin bends, the path leads briefly downhill, branch off here from the marked path onto an indistinct trail and follow this for about 300m. Just before the path turns into a steep meadow, descend steeply to the streambed on the right.
Tour: Downclimb briefly in the boulder bed before reaching the first rappel on the left.\n13 rappels up to max. 22m. Several small slides and possible jumps in a low gorge. The rock was extremely slippery during our ascent.

Nociu: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot in a southerly direction uphill through the village we come to the chapel of St. Antoine. Passing it on the left, we pass a water reservoir and then a small dam wall with a wash house on the left. Following the mule track, we pass another small dam wall at 445 m above sea level. Here the path bends in a westerly direction, then describes a slight curve in a westerly direction. At 588m above sea level, we take the path to the right (key point for access!), which first crosses the Ruisseau de Stollu (583m old) at about the same altitude and then continues uphill over a rocky terrain into a chestnut forest. Here we look for a path down into the stream.\nThere we walk downhill to the beginning of the Verengeng (entry).
Tour: About 10-12 rappels in a rugged canyon. Once at the bottom, the Ruisseau de Stollu flows in from the right, which is also accessible (see description there). Later, the Ruisseau de Campucassu flows in from the left.

Nociu: Canyon End
Return: On its orographic left bank, ascend a few meters; here a path leads to the ridge to the north. We follow this uphill for about 20 meters and then take the faint track that goes under the rock faces on the right. Follow the path that slowly descends towards the Raghiunti flowing below until you reach the river; then go up again, around a rocky outcrop, and you will come to a mule track that leads you down to the old stone bridge over the Raghiunti (Pont de Case Cocchie - 400m a.s.l.) Instead of getting off here to go up to Sorio, you can continue down the Raghiunti in the streambed until you reach the road bridge on the D62 (approx. 1 hour). In the lower Raghiunti, there is a rappel in front of a dilapidated mill (C9) and a short underground passage (C5 and C3) just before the road bridge (Pont de Briacale). Follow the road in a north-easterly direction up to Sorio.

Lanterna sup. (I): Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the path on the east side of the Laterna upwards, later following the yellow markings (especially arrows) under the rock faces near the stream. The entry is to the right (north) of the side stream; if the entry is too exposed and slippery, you can rappel 15 m from the tree into the bottom of the gorge.
Tour: Generally a good flow of cold, gray glacier water. The belays are inadequate when there is a lot of water flow and abseiling can then no longer take place outside the "stream". There is an emergency exit to the left about halfway down, see video.

Meienreuss (inferiore): Canyon Start
Approach: From the exit of the avalanche gallery, we walk back 270 m and then take the footpath that leads down to a wooden footbridge over the Meienreuss. Below the path, we climb into the streambed.
Tour: Partly laborious downclimbing of the granite blocks, but several possible jumps. Attractive ambience.

Meienreuss (inferiore): Canyon End
Return: After passing under 3 bridges, we come to 3 bridges again at the exit of the canyon. After the third (old road) bridge, turn right up to the car.

Meienreuss (inferiore): Parking at Entry
Access: On the A 2 or A 4 highway in the direction of St. Gotthard. The two highways walk together at the south-eastern end of Lake Lucerne (about 2 km north-west of the municipality of Altdorf). From here you drive another 55.5 km towards the Gotthard and then leave the A 2 at the Wassen exit.\nTurn left here onto the old Gotthard road, drive under the A 2 and 600 m after the underpass park your car in front of the old bridge over the Meienreuss.\nReturn with a second vehicle and drive into the center of the village of Wassen. About 100 m after the center (and 1.5 km from the lower car) we turn right onto the Sustenstraße, which takes us up towards Meiental. 2.5 km after the turn-off in Wassen, we come out of a long avalanche gallery and park the second car here at the roadside (parking bay).
Return: After passing under 3 bridges, we come to 3 bridges again at the exit of the canyon. After the third (old road) bridge, turn right up to the car.

Access: From Riva del Garda on the SS240, past Lake Ledro and through Storo, we reach the Fiume Pieve after a total of around 35 km, cross it and meet the SS237 on the other bank, which we follow to the NNE. After another 13 km or so, we come to the village of Argro and negotiate a striking double hairpin bend. Immediately afterwards, we turn right at the houses on the right-hand side of the road onto a smaller road. About 150m further on, the road bends to the right in front of a house with a fish farm before crossing the Fiume Pieve a few meters further on in a left-hand bend. In this left-hand bend, we park the car in a suitable place for the exit (exit parking lot). Continue for 1km in the second car; then turn right. The road now leads uphill through the forest. 800m after this turn-off, at the exit of a left-hand serpentine, a dirt road turns off to the right - in a southerly direction. We leave our second car here (parking lot for access).

2025-07-16: Lots of slides and jumps possible. The water is tainted brown, so inspection is mandatory... Full of commercial bolts and fixed ropes, which makes access quite easy.
Approach: From the car at the turning area near the barn (730 m above sea level), take the horizontal hiking trail in a westerly direction until you reach the streambed at the bridge - finally descending in serpentines. If you only have 1 car available, drive as far up the orographic right bank as possible, finally along a gravel road to the indicated parking lot. At the exit of the gravel road, follow the path on the orographic right bank for just under an hour to the entry point at the bridge.
Tour: So-called fun canyon; but when the water level is high, it is not always easy to swim out of some of the eddies. Be careful when jumping (Harakiri) into the third pool (S 3). Be sure to check the pool below the water surface as there is a rock that is invisible due to the turbidity of the water. Possible jumps are on the far right of the rock face, as there is a large rock under the waterfall in the remaining area. At the 6th pool (C4/S3) you can jump and slide down the wall on the so-called jumpslide. Heavily frequented commercially, especially in summer and at weekends. The flow rate should not exceed 400l/s! When it rains, the level paths extremely quickly.

Maltaschlucht: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot past the inn --> past the next small hut through the forest up to the road --> continue to the marked sign --> here a path (barrier) branches off (right) after 50m --> follow the path to the stream.
Tour: Very short but rewarding tour, possible jumps up to 17m. All passages are visible from the hiking trail. Clear landowners/hunting tenants At the beginning you can climb up to the first waterfall after a small climbing passage (right) --> slide or jump possible --> after a short walking passages and small tobogans you come to a place that you should definitely look at beforehand (washing machine) --> on the right side there is a rope traverse from which you can see the place well --> here the first person should have white water swimming skills in order to be able to set up a rope ferry if necessary --> the first person should have white water swimming skills. If you get into the circular return flow, you need strength to be able to swim out again --> the next point is not very dangerous --> however, you are briefly flushed under water (slide with underwash) --> short walking passages.

Edelbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the steep hiking trail up to the Stabalm and straight ahead on the road to the entry. If you want to enter the cave, you have to descend at the gravel patch to a small fir tree with a square block (approx. 10-15m before the first drop. The branches cover the anchor.
Tour: Level: At the first belaystation, the Edelbächlein stream on the left may only splash weakly over the rocky outcrop. Note: If the first narrow section is just fine, then it is better to get out at the next emergency exit. If necessary, set up the rope traverses to the abseil stands yourself.

Zernone: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, first take the narrow road uphill in a NNE direction. At the exit, a red-white-red marked path begins on the right with steps in the stone wall (signpost: Somasaccia). Here the path climbs steeply, partly on steps, until it touches the stream - entry.
Tour: The upper waterfall, which is visible from the road at the beginning, has its belay point at the top left by the small trees and after 20 m there is a belay on the right in the chute. The remaining 40 m of rappelling routes run over a heavily overhanging edge at the exit. Pay strict attention to rope protection here. After this overhanging edge, there is the only emergency exit to the right onto the ascent route. The following rappelling routes over 50m has the belay point on the lower left under the overhang. After the 15 m rappel, the belay point for the next 50 m on the other bank is somewhat difficult to find orographic on the left. The rappelling routes first leads through the bushes. The remaining belay points are obvious.

Zernone: Canyon End
Return: After the last, sloping abseiling point, which can also be downclimbed, turn right into the forest before a snag zone and return to the ascent route.

Bondone: Canyon Start
Approach: In each case directly into the streambed.
Tour: After 10 rappels you reach the Ponte Tripol (lower access). After another 20 rappels, you can exit to the right before the service bridge (480 m above sea level). Then there are another 4 rappels to the exit of the canyon. The rock in the watercourse is very slippery and rarely polished.

Bondone: Canyon End
Return: In the open streambed down to the slope.

Bondone: Parking at Entry
Access: From Sondrio, take the SS 38 eastwards in the direction of Tirano, Bormio. After 16.5 km we reach Tresenda and turn right over the Adda ("Passo Aprica"). After a further 170 m, turn right again and a little later left again into Via Falck. Here we head south ("Centrale Elettrica Belviso"). Before reaching the premises of the power plant, turn right towards the landfill site and immediately left again towards the slope. Follow the track along the foot of the slope until you reach the torrent. Park the first car here in a suitable place.\nWith the second car, drive back over the Adda and towards Sondrio. We stay on the SS 38 for almost 4 km (from Tresenda) and then turn left again across the Adda towards Carona, Bondone. First in a southerly direction to San Sebastiano, the road then climbs eastwards in serpentines. After 5.6 km (from the Adda bridge) you come to a prominent hairpin bend to the right (790 m a.s.l.).From here you can take the forest path to the nearby Bondone and find a lower access to the stream at Ponte Tripol.\nFor the normal access, continue uphill on the tarred road for another 2 km and park the second vehicle near the road bridge over the Bondone (just before reaching the hamlet of Luscio) (925 m a.s.l.).
Return: In the open streambed down to the slope.

Infernaccio della Val d'Abisso: Canyon Start
Approach: From Rifugio Corsini, walk eastwards across the meadows, cross the power line running down the slope at a right angle and head towards the edge of the canyon. Hiking trail no. 1 runs just below the edge of the gorge, which you follow to the right into the forest. You soon come to the stream. If only one vehicle is available, the tour can be accessed via hiking trail no. 1. Park your car at the hairpin bend on the way up to Monte Nerone, where the road reaches the canyon rim for the first time (see sketch in Gole & Canyons, page 37). From here, follow the marked and signposted Sentiero no. 1, which crosses the eastern slope of the canyon and heads up to Rif. It crosses the stream at about 1050 m (entry). After the exit (whether above the 30 m rappel or at the usual end point), follow Sentiero no. 1 back uphill in the direction of Rifugio Corsini to reach the parked car at the hairpin bend again
Tour: Apart from the 2 long abseiling sections, the fairly open forest gorge consists of a succession of slippery inclined passages in or next to the watercourse (moving mainly on your backside). So the ditch is more for collectors. Approx. 20 rappels; the highest is given as 45 m; however, the total rappel length from the tree is almost 60 m; an intermediate stand after 25 m and about 10 m to the left of the fall line (rope retrival problematic) still makes the use of 2 x 45 m of rope seem necessary from there.

Infernaccio della Val d'Abisso: Canyon End
Return: Where the stream emerges onto flatter terrain, you come to a dirt road coming up from Pióbicco. Here, hiking trail no. 1 comes up from the left and crosses the stream to the right, where it continues down to the church of S. Maria in Val d'Abisso (approx. 30 min.). You can also get off immediately above the 30 m abseil point and follow hiking trail no. 1 to the left (!) - initially slightly uphill - down into the valley.

Infernaccio della Val d'Abisso: Parking at Entry
Access: Take the A-14 past Cattólica and Pesaro to the exit at Fano. Continue on the SS-3 and after 39 km leave it and take the SS-257 in a westerly direction to Pióbbico (17 km). About 500 m before Pióbbico, turn south onto the road to the church of S. Maria di Val d'Abisso; park one car here. With the other car, drive back along the SS-257 for another 500 m and then turn right onto the road that leads to Secchiano and Cagli. After about 1 km and shortly after the hamlet of Acquanera, the road to Monte Nerone branches off to the right. Here it climbs in numerous hairpin bends for 9 km up to approx. 1300 m, where you take the first paved road on the right, which leads slightly downhill to a parking lot above the Rifugio Corsini and exits there. Park the second car here.

Johannesbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Cross the meadow and the Rissbach stream and follow a hiking trail to a forest road. Soon leave the forest road to the right and hike along a good path above the gorge into the valley floor. When you reach a mostly dry stream (Luchsegggraben), follow it. At the edge of the gorge, descend to the right over scree to the streambed.
Tour: Generally a lot of water (~1 m3/sec) and strong current. Unclear bends should be approached with rope help, anchors for such maneuvers are only partially available, otherwise you have to secure yourself to driftwood or your body. After a few rock channels, you come to a tree entanglement with anchors on the right - rappel 2m into the pool, then several more rock channels until you come to a particularly narrow passage, climb around on the left, possibly with a hand rappel around a dry tree. Immediately afterwards, rappel 3m from the rock niche on the right. After more rock channels and a tree hanging lengthways in the streambed, you are at the highest abseil point. Rappel 2m from the anchor on the left behind the edge to find a new anchor. Before here, rappel 10m with a floating anchor over the receding pool. The next passage looks very impressive from above. From the anchor on the left, rappel 15m into the large pool, watch out for wood in the white water. Climb over slippery rock out of the basin and on the right edge first follow a thin wire rope and then a static rappel to the belay on the right edge of the gorge and rappel 6m. From here it is only walking terrain to the wide gravel bed.

Johannesbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: In Vorderriss turn off into Rissbachtal and drive to the toll booth. Park on the right at the hotel, which closed in 2018.
Return: Cross the gravel bed and cross the Rissbach at a suitable point. Then follow the road back to the car.

Ostertaltobel: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the hiking trail along the stream until you reach a wooden pavilion. (22.08.2018) Direct access to the stream and thus crossing to the hiking trail is now blocked by a wooden fence! Out of respect for the residents and the tense situation, please do not climb over, even if the path is short and good! Instead, return to the road, turn left over the bridge and immediately left again to reach the hiking trail on the orographic left side of the stream. From there as before.
Tour: 3 abseiling points. The 1st abseil point can sometimes (!) be jumped from above or from the ledge in the middle of the wall (10 m).

Be Cabot: Canyon Start
Approach: We continue to the exit of the road and take the footpath that leads to the bridge. We cross it and - now on the orographic right bank of the stream - look for access to the streambed.
Tour: see topographic view and video

Be Cabot: Parking at Exit
Access: From St. André on the D48 to Salazie. Continue for 2km in the direction of Hellbourg, then turn right onto the D52 in the direction of Grand Ilet. A good 10 km after turning onto the D52, we cross the Rivière des Fleurs Jaunes. After the bridge, we park our car for the exit. (see google sketch approach)\n\nWith the second car, we now drive another 4 km up to Grand Ilet and from there - first in a northerly direction to Mare Martin and from there to Bé Cabot les Bas. There we look for a place for the car where it won't get in the way. Transfer distance 12.8 km. (see google map conversion)
Return: Once in the Rivière des Fleurs Jaunes, walk up the riverbed (regardless of the bank). After a good 2 km we walk under a pedestrian suspension bridge, 400m further on the Ravine Blanche à Jacquot flows in from the right (orographic left). We keep left (orographic right) and stay in the Rivière des Fleurs Jaunes. After another 400m, we look for a clear path on the orographic left bank (about 645m old) that leads to the road bridge where we parked the lower car. (see sketch on map)

Tour: See photos and video as well as the German description in the cited link. Only a shorter version is described here.

Kuzdere Kanyonu: Canyon End
Return: Get out in front of a low rock face jutting into the stream from the right. On the right, an ascending path leads away from the streambed, then winds up through the forest to the parked car. Alternatively, you can continue along the streambed to the road bridge (170 m above sea level) - an additional 2.5 to 3 hours. Then leave the lower car at the new road bridge (about 50 m north of the above-mentioned road junction). So in the German description in the quoted link.

Kuzdere Kanyonu: Parking at Exit
Access: We drive from Kemer on the arterial road 'Dörtyol Blv. heading west. We cross the E 90/D 400 highway and continue straight ahead for 3.2 km on Cumhunyet Cd. The two lanes later become one. After the bridge over the Agva Dere, we turn right and head orographic right along the stream. After 6.5 kilometers, we leave an old bridge on the right and then turn left (before the tarred road crosses the river to the right) onto a dirt road (2010). We ride steadily uphill. About 3.4 km after this fork in the road - a red and white marker on the right, immediately followed by a cairn - we park the car for the exit at the edge of the dirt road. We continue uphill in the second car. This is followed by 3 hairpin bends. About 5.3 km from the fork in the road, we reach the apex of the route (two paths turn off to the right) and continue straight ahead on the main road downhill to the wide gravel banks of the Agva Dere. Park the car shortly after the ford at the widened track - 7.6 km to this point (from the fork in the road).

Approach: 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.
Tour: 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.

Access: 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.
Return: 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.

Approach: From the parking lot at the two bridges (825m), follow the mountain road for about 150m until you reach an inconspicuous, very steep path on the left (partly fixed ropes), which soon leads down to the stream (790m).
Tour: In contrast to the more aquatic and technical lower section, the upper part of the Malvaglia is very entertaining and offers canyoneers several opportunities to jump, slide or rappel. This part is also often done commercially or as an alternative when other canyons have too much water. With the exception of a few places, there is usually no need for ropes. The siphon (clamping block) at the end of the Malvaglia superiore can be easily climbed over using fixed ropes and is usually not a problem. After the siphon there is a part with boulder terrain and a small 3m jump.

Access: From Biasca, drive north to the village of Malvaglia (second entrance). There are small parking facilities for the shuttle car right by the bridge (only necessary if you do the upper and lower part or lower part of the gate). In the village (approx. 100m before the stream) a mountain road branches off quite high up to the houses of Tagnugna (signs Val Malvaglia and Pontirone). After a few hairpin bends, at 591m there is a sharp right-hand bend with a bench and parking for 3-4 cars. This is the parking exit (shuttle car) for the upper part of the canyon. With the second car, continue up to the two bridges (wooden and stone) at Malvaglia/Chiesa at 825m. There is parking for several cars directly in front of the wooden bridge. (Alternatively, you can hike up to the entry via a hiking trail (Ponte Laù, Pontei, Sciarcel) on the orographic right side of the gorge for approx. 1.5 hours from the exit bridge/bend at Tagnugna where the car is parked).
Return: To get out of the canyon before the lower part (Malvaglia inferiore), look out for a steep path on the left side of the canyon by the water pipes. This path then leads up to the stone bridge. !!!Attention!!! From the stone bridge the lower part begins (2x50m rappels necessary! See Malvaglia inferiore). From the stone bridge turn left back to the parking lot (shuttle car) at the houses of Tagnugna.

Malvaglia - Orino (Superiore): Parking at Entry
Access: From Biasca, drive north to the village of Malvaglia (second entrance). There are small parking facilities for the shuttle car right by the bridge (only necessary if you do the upper and lower part or lower part of the gate). In the village (approx. 100m before the stream) a mountain road branches off quite high up to the houses of Tagnugna (signs Val Malvaglia and Pontirone). After a few hairpin bends, at 591m there is a sharp right-hand bend with a bench and parking for 3-4 cars. This is the parking exit (shuttle car) for the upper part of the canyon. With the second car, continue up to the two bridges (wooden and stone) at Malvaglia/Chiesa at 825m. There is parking for several cars directly in front of the wooden bridge.

Malvaglia - Orino (Superiore): Waterlevel Checkpoint1

Gottschlagbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the path directly along the stream upwards. Entry at the fourth bridge (possibly further up, but there is only a 5m rappel).
Tour: Several small abseils, max. 7m, then a final abseil of 20m.

Gottschlagbach: Canyon End
Return: From the stream, follow the path orographically to the right until you reach the car.

Gottschlagbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: At the exit of Ottenhöfen im Schwarzwald in the direction of Seebach, turn right towards a quarry and park at the exit of the street Edelfrauengrab.
Return: From the stream, follow the path orographically to the right until you reach the car.

Ravin de la Clue: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the signposted path in a curve around the estate on the left ("propriété privée") and then steadily up the mountain. At a saddle, you can already see the rock breakthrough quite clearly. Continuing up the path - occasionally marked in yellow - we come to a narrow rock cut, after which the path turns right. Now we have to descend pathlessly to the left down to the stream. The author has gone quite far and descended relatively far up the opposite slope into the streambed. Looking back (directly and figuratively), it would perhaps be better to look for a direct descent from the isolated rock needle on the left below the path into the stream to the left of the ditch that runs down to the stream beyond the rock needle.
Tour: If you don't want to slide in over the wide rock at the start of the descent, there is a bush above for the rope attachment. This is followed by 5 smaller rappels without running sections. The water quickly becomes cloudy due to the suspended particles in the water.

Ravin de la Clue: Canyon End
Return: After the last rappel, continue along the streambed until you reach the main stream. Cross it and then take the road on the left to the car. Alternatively, we can exit to the left at the exit of the descent and head left along the flat area to the access path. Follow this back to the car.

Ravin de la Clue: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Castellane on the Verdon (there from Nice on the N 85 - Route Napoleon - about 100 km) on the N 85 in the direction of Digne (north-west) we drive up to the Col de Leque in many hairpin bends, pass a rock gate where the Clue de Taulanne, which is forbidden for canyonists, begins on the left below and drive down again in many hairpin bends to la Tuillère (from Castellane to here 16 km). Just before the village, we turn left onto the D 21 and drive 6 km up to Blieux. We continue (northwest) on the D 21 towards the houses of Le Bas Chaudoule. Almost exactly 2 km after Blieux (village center), we see a signpost on the left-hand side of the road for "Portail de Blieux" and "Le Chiran". We park the car here.
Return: After the last rappel, continue along the streambed until you reach the main stream. Cross it and then take the road on the left to the car. Alternatively, we can exit to the left at the exit of the descent and head left along the flat area to the access path. Follow this back to the car.

Krottenbach III: Canyon Start
Approach: Continuing along the forest road, we pass the barrier and head towards the bridge over the Dürrach: after 1150 m and 250 m before reaching the bridge over the Dürrach, we turn off onto a half-right track in the direction of the Tölzer Hütte. We follow the forest road for almost 3 km. Then the road takes a sharp bend to the right uphill, but we keep straight on here. After another 600 m, a dirt road turns off to the right to a mountain pasture (4.7 km from the car). Here we descend to the left to the streambed.
Tour: Running sections are interrupted by smaller steps. The ropes are used repeatedly (see photos). Shortly before reaching the small steps that lead down into the Dürrach, there is an exit option to the left at a wooden footbridge. The path reached here leads directly back to the parking lot. If you descend into the Dürrach, after about 1 km you come under the road bridge leading high above the Dürrach. This is where the tour exits.

Krottenbach III: Canyon End
Return: After the bridge on the left at the edge of the forest, we take the dirt road, which leads us in a wide left turn to the forest road. Follow this back to the parking lot.

Aqabat El Biyout: Canyon End

Assal: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot at the aforementioned point (P1) head NNE down into the streambed.
Tour: First a longer "run-up" to the first drop. Here you have to reckon with the fact that there are no anchors to be found. A few rappels are followed by longer runs, then we encounter water flow and the resulting greenery. And then it's walk, walk, walk until your soles boil. Finally, we reach the exit of the tour.

Assal: Parking at Entry
Access: First we have to get a car to the exit. To do this, we drive from the town of Karak on the "50" down to the Dead Sea. After 26.2 km we come to the T-junction "Mazra Junction" and continue left on the "65" towards Aqaba. After 6.2 km we cross the Wadi Assal and a little later turn left onto a dirt road that takes us to some ruined houses. Here we park the car for the exit. The second car takes us back to "65", then to Masra Junction and right again up to Karak. We circle the town center and then take the road south to Mote. After a good 10 km we arrive in Mote. At the central crossroads in the middle of the village, we turn right and drive to Kathrabba (approx. 6 km). We drive through the village to the north-western end of the village and look for the road that descends in a northerly direction in serpentines. We drive down to the exit of the road beyond a ditch near an oasis-like plantation. Park the car here (P1). Cf. for approach, access and exit:
Return: Left out of the wadi and directly to the car at P2.

Lafairsbach: Canyon Start
2025-08-31: Access is very difficult, definitely allow more time (than the 45 minutes given in the book)! Stands so far all ok, 2-3 cool abseils in the watercourse.
Approach: Orographic right up the hairpin bends to the Rote Wand, then continue to the next left-hand bend (approx. 1420m). Continue through the forest on the same contour line towards the stream (until you reach a path and rope traverse). Then descend at a suitable point and abseil over trees into the canyon (approx. 100m in total).
Tour: Primarily abseils with walk/downclimbs in between. Smaller slides often not feasible due to the many obstructions. Generally very slippery canyon.

Approach: Follow the forest road up into the valley. When the forest road meets the stream again in the area of a valley extension entry (you can also walk about 5min further into the valley and enter at the road bridge)
Tour: The stream flows through beautifully washed-out mini-chutes with countless short slides. The smooth rock (compact limestone) and the large water flow ensure that even slides only 1-2m high are entertaining. But there are also a few slightly higher jumps (max. 3m obligatory). The most striking point is a 6m waterfall into a narrow gap, which can be problematic when there is a lot of water (in this case, it is better to avoid it on the right). \nJust before the exit of the tour, there is a 6m possible jumps into a large, round pool.\nThe gorge ends at a dam with water drainage, after which there are three longer slides. Recommended tour, but the water level must pass - check possible above the dam. The photos were taken at a flow rate of 2.0 m^3/sec at the Lunz am See gauge: rappels from tree trunks or individual expansion hooks.

Approach: From the western corner of the large square, heading SSW into the sparse forest, you quickly come to a wide path, which you follow to the right in a south-westerly direction. Where the path bends to the right after about 300 m, we follow the path that branches off to the left here. At a fork, a branch on the left leads steeply downhill (the footpath next to the Glorieta). We take neither this path nor the one straight ahead, but the one to the right, which after a few meters leads us to a bare rock slab, where the entry is via the left branch of the Glorieta.

Tour: 9 rappel. Varied. See photos and video

Access: From the A 7, take exit no. 34 (Tarragona - South; Airport) to Reus (5 km). From here continue north on the C 14 to Alcover (14 km from Reus). We leave Alcover in a north-westerly direction ('Mont-ral') on the TV 7041. Before we have left the last houses of Alcover behind us, a small road turns off to the left to 'Ermita del Remei'. If you have two vehicles available, take this turn-off, pass the aforementioned 'Ermita del Remei' and park the lower vehicle in the terraced parking lot at the exit of the road (before the barrier on the left) near the large old mill; with the other vehicle (or if you only have 1 vehicle), take the TV 7041 up to Mont-ral. There we take the second tarred road that branches off to the left from the TV 7041 (signpost 'la Febró') and, keeping to the left, come to a restaurant and the (probably former) soccer pitch behind it. We park our (possibly second) vehicle at the western end of the field. You can also park the only vehicle at the bottom by the large mill, but then walk the route to the exit and back twice (30 minutes each time), the approach from the top takes a maximum of 10 minutes and at the exit you can immediately take the path back up (but then with wet clothes - I still recommend it).

Mühltobel (oberer Abschnitt): Canyon Start
2025-06-19: Low water level, no jumps possible. But otherwise OK. Two stands are somewhat affected by flash rust, but still good
2025-05-30: The stands were fine and easy to reach. The entire upper parts were extremely slippery.
2024-05-10: Almost all picks in good condition. Canyons very slippery overall
Approach: From the greenery/wood storage area, follow the road uphill to the next sharp leftward haipin bend. There we take the footpath that branches off at the apex of the hairpin bend and follow it until we come across a small stream. At this point, take the left-hand path downhill to the stream. The entry point is the Osang bridge.
Tour: The highlight of the upper parts is the first rappel from the bridge (alternatively, you can continue up the stream without a route. There are still a few interesting abseils here. If you follow the stream from the bridge, there are a few low abseils, some of which can be downclimbed. In most cases, you can rappel next to the water or bypass the rappels.

We cross the Sarakinas River and park our car (for access) 80m after the bridge on the area to the right of the road
Return: After a conspicuous deciduous tree on top of 2 rocks in the streambed, look for a convenient exit option on the left bank. On an indistinct but wide meadow path you reach the bridge, cross the river on it and take the path up the opposite slope until you reach a large storage building ("P (2)" at the 2nd right-hand serpentine. From here continue uphill, turn right at the T-junction and up to the main road at the entrance to the village of Christos. Do not enter the village here, but turn right down the main road to the parking lot "P(1)". Due to the short distance, it is not necessary to change the route.

Tour: After reaching the stream "E", you can cross it and descend on the left bank slightly above the stream until you are required to re-enter the streambed before crossing under the road bridge. After about 10 minutes you come to the 12th rappel. The 3 further rappels follow without any significant walking passages. After the last and highest rappel, it is about 10 minutes to the exit.

Gouras, Φαράγγι Γκούρας: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Fyli, one of the northern suburbs of Athens, we head north towards the Moni Kliston monastery. After 2.9 km, i.e. before reaching the monastery, we turn left towards Filis Fortress. 4.8 km further on we come to a hairpin bend to the left, where we park our car (see google maps under Links). If we have 2 cars, we can park one car for the exit at Moni Kliston (risk of burglary).
Return: Where we see a children's swing hanging from a tree in the bottom of the stream, we take the path out to the right and up to the monastery. If we have only parked one car at the top of the road serpentine, it makes sense for the driver without luggage to pick up the car and the others with luggage to get in at the monastery.

Gouras, Φαράγγι Γκούρας: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the hiking trail (according to Wikiloc under Links) to the stream crossing (entry).

Comment: Zustieg zu Fuß vom Parkplatz
Access: To descend the Myloi canyon, we can park all cars on the coastal road at the exit point, which is a 5-minute walk from the exit. To reach the entrance on foot requires a pleasant, slightly uphill hike of about an hour. If there is an off-road vehicle in the group, we can drive up to the entrance of the canyon more quickly, especially if we want to combine this with another descent on the same day to Gerakina Gorge, a little further down the road near the village of Schinos.

Tour: see photos and video Note: Contrary to what is stated in the "Tyrolean Canyoning Guide" by Amor/Rimel, we needed 2x30m of rope for the penultimate rappel (at Riml 16m), which was barely enough. There is no indication of an intermediate position either on the topographic view in the book or in real life. It is possible that I am wrong in this respect. We drilled the last rappel down into the gravel bed of the stream.

Heckenbach I (oberer): Parking at Exit
Comment: bei Integralbegehung mit Heckenbachklamm
Access: We leave the A95 (Munich-Garmisch) at the Murnau/Kochel exit and drive to Kochel. Here we take the B11 (Kesselbergstraße) in a southerly direction (Mittenwald). The road initially leads us along the lake and we pass the Renken campsite (righthand side of the lake). 300m further on, the road to the Walchensee power station, Aparthotel Alpenpark and Kesselberg campsite turns off to the right (Altjoch). After another 300m, the road crosses the Heckenbach (exit, view of the final waterfall). We now continue uphill on the B11 for just over 1300m and then turn right into a parking and rest area. Here we park the car for the exit at the end of part I. With the 2nd car, we continue on the Kesselbergstraße for another 1.7km (alternatively on foot on the old Kesselbergstraße) and turn right onto the old Kesselbergstraße.
Return: At the exit of part I, turn left up to the road and the car. If the Heckenbachklamm (Heckenbach II) is added, see the description there.

Vallon de Gourgas: Canyon Start
Approach: From the car (750 m), take the path on the orographic right bank and walk uphill. Follow the path until it goes steeply uphill in serpentines. At the exit of the hairpin bends, turn left (waypoint 2) and follow the path after two changes of direction, continuing past a house to waypoint 3. Turn right into the valley until you reach the stream.
Tour: The descent begins directly with a fairly vertical section. The high rappel has an intermediate belay after 22 m, then C55. Caution for larger groups! There is not enough room for many people on the transfer, so carry more rope here so that you can rope through. Emergency exit after approx. half of the route on the left on a small path.

Approach: From the road, turn right along a barely visible path into the canyon.
Tour: At first the canyon runs through the forest, then becomes increasingly canyoned and vertical. At C55 you can rappel through the water on the left or dry on the right. This is followed by several abseils on very slippery rock. At medium to high water levels, some of the pools can develop backwaters. Always check well before rappelling. Rope traverses often have to be installed to reach the stands.

We look down from the bridge onto the Cannobino, then we drive up the many hairpin bends to Cavaglio. At the entrance to the village on the left, we can park the car in a free parking lot.
Return: A good 50m down the Cannobino, we look for an exit on the orographic right-hand slope. We scrambled up the steep bank without a path until the slope leans back. Across meadows with dilapidated buildings we come to the road. A few meters to the right and we are back at the Grotto al Mater restaurant. This exit is not easy to find and not without its problems. There is also an alternative: in Cannobino about 2 km downhill until you can finally leave the canyon below the Orrido di S. Anna chapel. The anchor of this exit is a baffle wall in the Cannobino, which is only unproblematic at low water. However, there is also a wild exit about 50m before the critical point. Orographic up to the left, you come to the Cavaglio - Orrido di S. Anna hiking trail.

A torrent with terrifying floods, but which dries out EXTREMELY quickly. It is very difficult to walk it with water. It is 100% karst-fed and comes out of a cave upstream. The water is then very cold. This cave probably serves as an "equalization shaft" for an as yet unknown underground circuit... Fun fact: It is impossible to do both tours (Ruine and Malvaux) on the same day and in the water, hence the local saying: Si Ruine en eau, Raft dans Malvaux...

Comment: Einstieg über den 1. Abseiler
Approach: Shuttle possible (usually no 4WD required).
Tour: After the first two rappels, a short river walk with a few more small rappels. The canyon is not very deep. About 300m before the arched bridge, the Izgaril flows in from the right. In the descriptions under the heading "Babos+Izgaril" it is apparently assumed that below the confluence of these two streams the further common continuation now bears the name Izgaril. However, the open street map below the confluence shows "Perroi Babos", which would suggest that the name Babos is also retained in the common lower course of both streams. After the old arched bridge (access and exit on a slope possible here), the highlight is the multi-stage drop into the deeply incised Lengarice Canyon (see description there).

It is usual to go downstream immediately after the last rappel in the Babos in Lengarice Canyon. The slippery debris deposits are quite unpleasant here, but are compensated for by the impressive ambience. At the exit of the tour, you should not miss the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing thermal bath in one of the pools by the old arch bridge or beforehand on the left bank (you may want to get a suitable drink from the nearby kiosk beforehand).

Tour: Not as incised as the lower part, therefore less susceptible to a lot of water. Often wood behind the waterfalls. The beautiful parts are interrupted by some walking passages. But they are definitely fun.

Approach: From the exit point of the tour, climb up to the power station on the mountain. A metal bridge follows after the power station. From here, follow the power lines and keep to the left. After about 20 minutes, you come to an open area with some ruins. Immediately after this would be a dry footbed (access or exit possible). Now it is only about 30 minutes to the entry via the hiking trail.

Tour: Entry above the road bridge. Initially a narrow canyon, which widens as the tour progresses. Muddy ground, i.e. very slippery. You pass Babos Canyon, which joins from the left. At the exit on the left is the first thermal pool, which is not as busy as the pools around the old arched bridge where the canyon ends.

Approach: Head downhill in a northerly direction until you reach the stream, as close as possible to the beginning of the narrowing.
Tour: The descent begins in a narrow, increasingly deepening canyon. After 4 or 5 rappels, there is a marked exit option to the right (steel cable) or left (better right, as the path leads back here). This is followed by 5 more rappels, some of them higher, with certain technical requirements.

Access on foot therefore seems more practical, see "Access" below
Return: On the left high bank we descend pathlessly through the bushes parallel to the streambed until we see our car on the left for the exit.

Comment: es folgt zunächst die lange Laufstrecke
Approach: From the parking lot for the exit, continue up the bad slope. When you reach the parking lot for access, turn left at an acute angle. First down the dirt road where the path exits, keeping left to the streambed (entry). Leaving the slope to the left, an inconspicuous path leads upwards, which later reaches the slope again.
Tour: First we have to walk and downclimb in the dry streambed (over 30 minutes) before we reach the 1st rappel. This is followed by 4 rappels, 2 of which exit in a Marmita Trampa. Both dry pools can be climbed around on the right. This is followed by another 15 to 20 minutes of walking and downclimbing until we find an exit to the left up the bank.

Access: From the E09 south of Kalo Nero, turn inland and drive via Rachel to the Peristeria archaeological site: park there. Van den Berge starts on the northern side of the forebay, which seems suboptimal compared to the route suggested here.
Return: Over the footbridge and up the path to the excavation site where the car is parked.

2023-05-22: Mud slogging in an inadequately secured forest ditch, which only becomes a highlight in the last few meters.
Comment: unterhalb der Straßenbrücke
Approach: From the car on the road back to the bridge. Get in there. Since the first 3 drops were not secured, I suspect that you can descend directly from the edge of the excavation site into the pot before the last step, or even rappel. This would save you the unpleasant part.
Tour: The first two steps are just as unprotected as the 3rd step. Only the final abseil offers a sling. Up to the final abseil, the forest canyon is muddy and without any interest. Directly above the final abseil the ambience becomes attractive. The last rappel leads down into a usually open siphon. At high water it will usually be dammed up, which is why van den Berge warns against this situation in his book. A little later you reach the picnic area with spring and connection to the hiking trail.

Approach: We take the dirt road leading northwards. Where it loses itself, we see a cairn on the righthand side, which leads us up to the right. After a while we come to a generally dry streambed, which we climb down to the entry point into the stream.
Tour: First many smaller steps with beautiful pools, small slides and possible jumps. Then we come to the 36m waterfall. Tourists can be seen bathing at its foot. This is followed by a smaller waterfall and finally the rappel into the river Neda (from the tree -2023). Here you can admire the gate to the underworld, behind which the Neda disappears (at around 200m),

Comment: Einstieg Ciol del Pes
Approach: CAI trail no. 366 begins on the orographic left side of the waterfall (directly at the parking lot; sign C.ra Pramaggiore). Follow the path until you reach a fork after about 35 minutes. Turn left here (signpost: C.ra Pramaggiore) and walk downhill for a further 10 minutes until you reach the tributary of the Ciol del Pes. This is where the tour begins.
Tour: In the tributary of the Ciol del Pes there is a rappel (approx. 30m), followed by the confluence with the Ciol del Pes. There are 2 ways to rappel here. Either stay with the tributary and over a rope traverse to the chain anchor and then rappel the 50m, or downclimb into the Ciol del Pes and rappel from there. This is followed by several abseils in a narrower gorge area before it becomes more open again. Beautiful tour with some rappels in the water.

Approach: From the parking lot "Casavento" to the hut "Casavento", stay on the path (do not go in the direction of the stream) and follow the path for about 25 minutes until you reach the stream at about 1120m and follow the barely recognizable path into the canyon for about 50m.
Tour: The start of the tour is more of a forest canyon with some outdated stands (as of June 2023). However, the tour gradually gains in character with some narrow sections and beautiful abseils. Some slides and jumps are also possible. The tour ends with a 60m rappel into a deep pool, where tourists are often encountered in summer, as footprints of dinosaurs are visible directly at the exit.

2024-06-01: Vertical and sunny at the top, then long slopes, unfortunately shady and slippery at the bottom in the forest
Access: Coming from Locarno, turn into Valle Verzasca in Gordola and follow the road to Lavertezzo, passing through Motta (small bar on the left). Shortly afterwards you cross the stream and reach the parking lot on the left behind a second stream (June 2023 CHF 5/day).
Return: After the last rappel, turn left onto the meadows and then right along the road back to the parking lot.

2024-06-01: Vertical and sunny at the top, then long slopes, unfortunately shady and slippery at the bottom in the forest
Approach: 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). Follow the path over the stream and turn right uphill in front of a dilapidated cottage (blue marker slightly set back). The path becomes increasingly steeper the higher you go. For the last 10 minutes, the path is exposed and follows the canyon rim. A few meters are secured with a thin wire rope. Shortly afterwards, you reach rocky ground and find yourself at the entry point by a small pool with a view.
Tour: Right at the start, you reach a 200 m high wall, which ramps out in easy steps and smaller ledges towards the exit. This is followed by many abseils and the trees line the descent.

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.
Approach: 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.
Tour: 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.

Valegiom: Canyon Start
2023-06-20: Not easy to find the way there...
2023-06-20: Increasingly slippery towards the bottom.
Approach: From the parking lot, return to Lavertezzo and cross the Verzasca over the famous stone bridge. Turn right immediately after the bridge and follow the path along the river. After about 5 minutes, re-enter the forest and turn left. You quickly gain height on very faint tracks and head towards the stream (Swissmaps on your cell phone is very helpful here, also for the further course). After crossing the stream, stay on the path for a short while and turn left at the first opportunity. The first few meters are steep but recognizable. After that, look for tracks (here you are sometimes far away from Swissmaps). Cut trees and branches point the way. (You get the feeling that you are moving far away from the canyon). On the map, the house Mött Coa, 985 m, is indicated. Behind the little house, look for a water pipe that first leads steeply upwards, where you will find better tracks again. Follow the pipeline to the stream.
Tour: The first rappel is over a tree or you can orographically go around the first step on the right via a small path. The rappels take place in an open environment and are mostly ramps, only in the lower part after the path does it get steeper. The canyon is suitable in spring when there is still some water in the canyon.

Access: From Locarno to Gordola and from there turn off into Valle Verzasca. Follow the road to Lavertezzo and park shortly after the village in the paid parking lot on the left-hand side. (The other parking lots directly at the bridge only have a maximum duration of 3 hours!)
Return: With the last rappel, follow the path on the right back to the bridge (and jump from it) or swim (at low water!!!) to the other side and you are quickly back at the parking lot, which is on the right.

Approach: From the parking lot, the hiking trail to Val Porta and Odro starts, which you follow past a chapel to Colletta, where the path to Odro branches off, which you then follow steeply. Up to an altitude of 1154 m, to the right of a ruin, there is a small path marked in blue. Follow these markings until you reach a stream that actually leads down to the canyon.
Tour: The tour starts with lots of rappels in a very open environment. It rarely gets difficult; towards the exit, the stream becomes a canyon. You end up directly on the hiking trail.

Ri di Chignöö: Canyon Start
2023-06-24: Worthwhile if you already know a lot about Ticino
2023-06-24: For higher rappels always double stands.
Approach: An unmarked path starts from the parking lot and quickly gains altitude. At a beautiful chapel, turn right at the crossroads. Turn left at the next crossroads (signs are difficult to read). The path is difficult to see through the houses because the foliage obscures the path. After a long, straight stretch, you walk up the stairs at the canyon rim and then easily reach the stream.
Tour: The first rappels follow shortly after the path crosses the stream. Many varied rappels follow and you reach a more open part that ends in a high step (150 m). A more wooded area follows, which leads to a 45 m waterfall and the final wall. Holzinger & Guignon recommend 70 m of ropes.

Approach: Follow the no-entry road southwards to the bridge over the Loblbach, cross the stream and ascend on the road until a well-trodden path branches off to the right in a left-hand bend. Follow this path to the valley floor. Two torrent obstructions can be bypassed orographically on the right (the second with some loss of altitude). Above the second torrent obstruction through the gravel bed to the end of the gorge, then stay in the streambed to the uppermost 15m waterfall. The waterfalls are overcome via a via ferrata of your own construction (B-C), at the last step orographic left into the gravel gully and as soon as possible left to the rocky ridge above the waterfall. Securing material is quite good thanks to a mountain rescue exercise in 2022. After the first wire rope, you could also ascend to the left into a side trench and then cross high above the canyon into the rock basin; this variant avoids the wire rope belays, but crosses a sandy, unpleasant erosion funnel.
Tour: 15m rappel at the beginning, then slide and downclimb to a 10m rappel and continue sliding and possibly jumping to the wide gravel bed. At the WIldbach obstruction there is an abseil stand on the right which can be used to save the ascent.

Comment: Start auch weiter oben oder unten möglich
Approach: From the lower parking lot: via the tourist path (8-10 EUR per person) in the direction of GH Deutscher Peter, cross the Bodenbach coming from the Tschaukofall and enter the main gorge somewhere above. Duration 45min - 60min From the upper parking lot, descend the tourist path and enter as you wish. Any blocked gates can be bypassed in the streambed. We only entered just before the mouth of the Bodenbach. 10min
Tour: Difficulties are strongly dependent on the current woodwork, only small steps that can quickly recede. Swimming up the steps can also be problematic. At the last 7m waterfall under the bridge, the new belaystation is located orographic left in the angle, there are anchors for a traverse rope. However, anchors are well placed and in logical places.

Approach: From the car park walk down to the waterfalls. Start of the obstacles is near the picnic bench and a broken down viewing platform. Left of this viewing platform we can use the tree for abseiling into the first obstacle and find a first bolt left bank, as an intermediate anchor, from which an ideal access is given to the geyser.
Tour: 01 - natural anchor on the tourist trail, left bank, 10m from a tree to a ledge (1p. only) 02 - 7m abseil, left bank, from a bolt on the ledge (exposed, 1p. only) into a waterjet-geyser (impressive when source is active) If the water is overflowing on all sides of this obstacle, the canyon is in high flow/overflowing. (01 & 02 are avoidable, but recommended to test the strength of the waterflow) 03 - 8m abseil, from a natural anchor, right bank, 8m, into a Niagara-pool, can be partially avoided by abseiling left bank from a natural anchor. 04 - 6m left bank, before the bridge, bolt 05 - 5m right bank, directly under the bridge, bolt. If high flow, then the rocks in the pool may be easily mistaken for white water, careful in the reception. 06 - 7m right bank, into a turbulent pool, bolt (possible jump, not verified) 07 - 9m left bank, into a pool with water movement, bolt + ring Hanging pool with tourist viewpoint on the right (possible escape) First option. Dry line to the left. 08 - downclimb, left bank, to a bolt + ring, followed by a 12m abseil 09 - To a bolt, left bank, 16m abseil Second option. Aquatic line to the right: 08 - climb up, right bank, to a natural anchor, abseil 18m or 16 + 2m jump (not verified) 09 - 20m abseil, right bank, from a bolt, down the double waterfall 10 - downclimb the sloping right bank, 5m 11 - traverse up a ledge, to a bolt, left bank (Or jump/slide into a small pool with water movement, not verified) 12 - Mc, from a bolt, to a bolt + ring (far, slightly ascending), left bank to avoid the small pool 13 - 5m abseil, left bank, from a bolt + ring Possible games in the small pool with water movement 14 - abseil from a bolt + ring, left bank, 15m across 2 small pools Exit of the canyon, right bank

Access: Coming from Ripoll, drive into the village of Queralbs. At the edge of the village is the parking lot "Parking Cremallera" right next to the station for the cog railroad. Two cars to be able to shuttle are strongly recommended, otherwise access should take 3+ hours. Leave one car at the parking lot and take the second car up the steep "Carretera de Fontalba" road with many hairpin bends to the last parking lot (approx. 30 minutes).
Return: Follow the hiking trail towards Queralbs as far as the parking lot. The quickest way is a road next to the tracks, but its use is prohibited.

Approach: From the parking lot, descend along the ridge along the tree line until you reach a small stream. Follow this downhill until it joins the Fontalba stream and walk a few more hundred meters next to the stream until the stream drops more steeply and you find the first rappel (30-45 minutes).
Tour: The tour begins with a short, narrow rappel in a fairly strong current. After that, rappels from trees (canyons and chain links available) dominate in the wide, slippery stream and open canyon. The middle section can be bypassed completely, the rappels are mostly very shallow. The final is a 60 meter rappel, but this can also be done with several shorter rappels on trees if you don't have 2x 60m ropes.

Access: On the SP1 towards Feltre, near the village of Gus, turn left towards Carve and follow the road to the small village where you turn right towards Valmaor. In Valmaor, turn left towards the sports field. You can park your car here. If you want to drive to the upper parking lot, stay right at the junction to the sports field (Venastadio) and follow the narrow road into the valley. First on asphalt, then on a sand road until you can park at an old charcoal pile with an information board.
Return: After the gorge, hike for about 5 minutes through the streambed to the sports field. Here you can continue into the large Val Maor canyon.

Approach: Follow the sand road to a ford over the main stream, then descend in the gravel bed for about 10 minutes until you reach the entrance weir to the first gorge.
Tour: Rappel 12m from the chain anchor on the right, then small slides and jumps in a beautifully banked gorge. When the gorge opens up, continue for about 10 minutes in the open gravel bed before another dam indicates the start of the second gorge. Either jump 8m from the dam or downclimb a little from the left and jump from there or rappel from the chain anchor. Then downclimb and jump into the mini gorge, which is only cut a little deeper later (footbridge over the gorge).

Access: Claut - Val Settimana - park by Stalle Nuccí (second barn on the opposite side of main river), from 1st weekend of July there is a road fee 6 EUR/car, payable in cash or card. The road becomes more exposed to landslides after Nuccí, and has been closed several times after extreme weather events (info on FB/IG pages of the Dolomiti Friulane), if so: (e-)bike is a wonderful solution.
Return: Follow Nuccí to the main river, or find the trail of the approach on your left, and back to the car, crossing the main river once again.

Approach: Trail 385 is no longer maintained, but still marked red/white & smaller orange dots most of the time and becoming better as more canyoneers go. Update: blue markings and the occasional cairn have been added, up until the entrance for Nucci-express (count 2hrs). Use of gps & orientation skills recommended. Cross the main river, walk past the Stalle Nuccí (stable), cross Río Nuccí immediately after, walk gently up river left, towards the gorge at first and take the steep trail diagonally up the woods and away from the canyon, sometimes disappearing in the high grass, sometimes involving minor scrambling1. At alt. 1200 there is an exposed traverse going left towards a small tributary canyon, hike up this little canyon for just a few meters and traverse/climb back in the woods.

Walenbach: Canyon Start
2022-10-08: Positively surprised, have added 4-5 anchors, some downclimbs would have been quite exposed.
Approach: 1h on the closed road, 30 min up the mountain (see waypoint.
Tour: Attention! Apparently, manual and automatic flushing takes place almost daily. Be sure to report this to the power plant operator! Note on descente-canyon.com: "4 km2 large catchment area with firn, but a water intake 200 m before the start of the canyon takes almost the entire flow. This water extraction is manual, the desilting takes place about once a week during the snowmelt and only occasionally thereafter. The safest way to enter the canyon seems to be to leave a note at the water extraction point stating the day you enter the canyon, the time and any other information you find useful, and to remove the note after your descent. This way, the people making the entry will be informed." A pleasant little canyon in the undergrowth. First some small obstacles to get to the two large waterfalls C30 and C25. Then you find a very nice little indentation, then a few more waterfalls and it's the final C18.

Tour: See photos and video of the ascent on 15.07.2023. After the 6th or 7th rappel (the rappels are numbered consecutively), a lateral rockfall fell into the canyon. This destroyed 2 of the old anchors. We helped ourselves with rappels from dead wood. The situation here is still somewhat unstable.

Approach: At the exit of the slope to the chapel on the left, then turn right down past the chapel until you reach a good path. Follow this to the left until a path on the right leads downhill. Thick ropes are available. Alternatively, there is now a via ferrata that you can follow from below. This exits at the entry point, from here you could then walk over the chapel to the other arm and thus have a little more variety on the way down.

Gave de Bious: Canyon Start
Approach: Take the GR10 (faster) or the road (shuttle bus possible) in the direction of Lac de Bious Artigues. At the first water intake, take the path on the right that leads down to the Gave de Bious.
Tour: The first two waterfalls are nicely shaped, you have to walk a bit and then you come to a beautiful pool (15 m in diameter) with a slide or a jump that you can repeat at your leisure. After that, it's less glorious: another huge but shallow pool with a tree in the middle, some mini waterfalls for mini jumps. A 50m micro indentation with a jump, but no other indentation of note, and lots of walking. Watch out for the dam above though! A canyon that is obviously walked by local guides (MC ropes on the access trail, spiked waterfalls, ziplining opportunities), but only of moderate interest. The start is currently very confusing. ' Regimentation: - Access to the canyon bed between the Bious Inférieur water intake and the confluence with the Magnabaigt stream is only permitted from April 1 to October 31 inclusive, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, when the RD 231 is open to the public. - Access is prohibited from the fenced plots of land concessioned to the SHEM.

Gave de Bious: Parking at Entry
Access: Valley: Park on the esplanade on the left after the bridge over the Gave de Bious as you drive up the D934 from Laruns to the bottom of the Ossau valley.

Chloterlibach : Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Schwyz, drive in the direction of Ibergereggpass. Park 750m after the windstock restaurant in the hairpin bend (alt. 915m).
Return: From the hay hut, head up along the edge of the forest along the RD canyon to the bridge of part 2. Cross it and stay on the hiking trail that leads up to the bridge (910 m above sea level) and take the path on the left back to the parking lot. To continue with the CHLINGENTOBEL canyon, cross the bridge that begins part 2, continue on the path and then turn right onto a path that goes over a hut and up the CHLINGENTOBEL stream in the forest. Descend as best you can to the mountain stream.

Chloterlibach : Canyon Start
Approach: The canyon begins at the bridge on the road below the parking lot. So at best, path down to the mountain stream or walk around it on the road.
Tour: Canyon, which consists of two smaller parts. The first part starts at the bridge (alt. 890m) and exits at the bridge (alt. 850m) and is 160m long. Several small obstacles are lined up in a small indentation. There is a nice T5. After this part, you leave RD and walk along the edge of the forest along the stream and get back into the water at the bridge (alt. 815m) for the second part. This second part is less well equipped, consisting of waterfalls of greater height. A first C25, AN wide RG, then a chute AN RD leading to a high RD relay for a final C30. Another 2-3 jumps and you arrive at the top of a large slab (60-80m?) which is slightly hollowed out. You can descend this slab using AN RD or leave RD on the path leading to a hay hut. Numerous escape routes possible. 3.5 km2 catchment area with wetlands. Possible from spring and quickly after rainfall.

Tour: The descent consists of small indentations with many small obstacles, including numerous slides and jumps of up to 10 m in height. There are several natural arches. You can easily get out between the individual indentations and find your way back. After the indentation below the chalets of Hinterbalm, you have to take the path to the right again to bypass a 200 m high boulder pile and reach the last waterfalls. In a final gulch, you line up 6 abseils from 15 to 60 meters. The waterfalls are nice, with depths, geysers... Three more small slides and the descent is done! Apart from the redemption of the last stunts, you can get out of the redemptions very regularly. Aquatic: The canyon is fed by 2 glaciers and a large watershed, so wait for the cool temperatures of fall to consider the descent. Be sure to bring your climbing gear: First time gear to add, we did a lot of de-escalating, jumping (up to 8-10 meters) or sliding without setting a point at certain obstacles.

2024-11-01: Upper part: You can easily get through under the avalanche snow. Watch out for falling rocks from the side. Access via the rocks orograghically to the right. If you take the access described in the bo...
Approach: New! A new access was tested in 2024, which saves almost 300-400 meters in altitude. It now goes past the Hüfisee (T4, marked with dots up to the lake), and then up a rock band onto the slabs north of the canyon. Details on the photos. From there just go down the tributary to the confluence with the glacier water. Right there is also the first rappel. Walk up the valley towards the village of Guferen, cross the bed of the Chärstelenbach and follow the path on the right bank of the Chärstelenbach towards the village of Blindensee. Cross the stream there to switch to the left bank and follow the path towards Hüfihütte. At an altitude of around 2,200 m, you reach the glacier by descending through a couloir and then over limestone slabs to reach the left bank of the glacier at an altitude of around 2,020 m. Follow the left edge of the glacier to about 1985 meters. Go into the hole on the left bank of the glacier to reach the watercourse and the start of the canyon. Allow 1 hour for the approach to cross the glacier and walk along the limestone slabs on the right bank, then rappel down one of the 80 meters as you dispense with the upper part below the glacier!!!!
Tour: First indentation under the glacier with about 10 waterfalls. After leaving the first indentation, you reach the Hüfisee on the left, follow it on the left and reach the second incised part with about 6 to 7 obstacles (alt. 1670m) Commitment A big commitment! No way out except after the first notch at the level of the Hüfisee. 1st committed part because under the glacier with the potential risk of the canyon being blocked by ice and 2nd committed part because of a considerable amount of water! Period/water character Autumnal canyon to be done when temperatures drop in altitude but before the first snow to facilitate the long approach and reduce the risk of avalanches and glacier crossings. Notes The uphill section has been opened up using caving techniques (fixed ropes) to allow you to turn back. Be careful and vigilant when you set off! Icefalls and falling rocks could block this part of the canyon!

Etzlibach : Canyon Start
Approach: On foot: Take a path that runs along the right bank of the stream and along a meadow, then up some switchbacks to the forest before joining a wide path and passing a small farm. You pass the hamlet and stay on the main path, which initially climbs and then flattens out. At the first small canyon and when you see the stream, you descend and reach it at the foot of a small waterfall in the boulders (45 minutes, a little longer with snow!).
Tour: Hydrology: There is no lack of water! As this route has to be covered in winter conditions, there is ice. It is better to have too much material than too little! Nevertheless, the current is quite strong and there may be backwaters // rollers in some catch basins. Watch out for the ice barriers... The last waterfall can cause difficulties if the current is too strong, but could be re-equipped on the right bank, which would allow a greater flow. A loophole on the right bank, before C9, tricky ascent through a canyon (see description). Occasionally on the left bank when the rock face retreats, but it is somewhat exposed. After C9 there is no way out. Commitment: Very pronounced! Blame the ice, the huge water catchment area, the hanging icicles and the wintry and therefore cold conditions. It seems to be a good precaution not to take too many people with you.

Etzlibach : Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Leave the highway in Lucerne and head towards Gotthard in Amsteg. Cross this village and turn left up the small road through the Maderanertal valley. The serpentines in tunnels are already a curiosity... Cross the village of Bristen, a first bridge, then turn right to cross the river again on a small bridge. Stay on the main road for 500 m and you will find the parking lot on the right just after another small bridge over the Etzlibach, where you can measure the amount of water (small artificial waterfall above the dam). Do not park in front of the timber loading traffic circle.
Return: A final small slide (4 m) ends the canyon. Path 10 meters up to the meadows, at the exit of which is the parking lot!

Chessiloch : Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, head towards Chessiloch, then on towards Stäldili. The path gains height as it runs along the canyon on the right. If you overlook the stream above the inlet, you can reach it by descending as far as possible. It is possible to continue on the path to descend 2-3 more waterfalls into the Seebebach, but they are not very interesting and add another hike in the river and 20-30 minutes of approach time. At a clearing at an altitude of 1300 m, descend as best you can to the Seebebach.
Tour: A series of small abseils in a beautiful wide gulch. Commitment No obvious loophole, but very short redemption. Period/water character Large catchment area, plus there are swamps upstream that act like swims and feed the creek continuously even days after rain. Wait for a dry period before considering the canyon. The equipment available is not optimal for very large volumes of water.

Chessiloch : Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Flühli, turn left towards Glaubenbielen Pass and follow the signs to Chessiloch. Park at the exit of the road.

Gornerbach: Canyon Start
Approach: Go back a few dozen meters to pass under the railroad bridge and climb the stairs. Back on the tarmac, turn left to find the rest of the path, which also leads up steps. You reach asphalt again and keep left to reach the departure of the cable car. Now follow the tracks. Soon you will find a nice path that winds along the pressure pipe until you reach a small chapel. From here, continue along the funicular and then beyond the terminus on a beautiful path. Soon you will find a beautiful path that branches off to the left and joins the Gornerbach a few minutes later.
Tour: In many places it should be possible to leave the streambed, except at the abseiling points. There is no swimming on this section, but there are some watered rappels that can be dangerous if the water level is high, especially after you cross the small wooden bridge before the C30. Please keep a low profile at this stage of the walk as the trail is a place of "gathering".... The first part of the trail can be walked even if the current is strong, but the very slippery rock must make this part very acrobatic! The rest should be avoided as the pool drops off to the right between the 30 and the 17 abseil, not to mention the abseil itself, which is watered plenty when the water level is normal. July to October, depending on snow conditions, seems to be a good time. Partly slippery downclimb without anchors.

Gornerbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From the small town of Amsteg in the canton of Uri, take the old road (Gotthardstrasse) for 6.8 kilometers up the valley in the direction of Gotthard. Turn right at the crossroads and drive 160 meters in the direction of Gurtnellen on the village road. After crossing the bridge over the valley, keep left towards the metal factory. Park in the large parking lot on the left-hand side (end of the road).

Approach: Take the Diegisbalm self-service cable car to the middle station (first stop). From there, follow the road on foot to the left along the dirt track to the stream.
Tour: Before that, there is always more water due to tributaries, but with little influence on the seriousness. The crux has no more water than you see at the start. The crux is an intermediate pool after 10 meters of rappel in a narrow chute. The pool is relatively small and turns even at normal water levels. The first climber must be belayed to the edge of the pool to get to the double belay for the following high rappel. Before the highest rappel into the collector, there is an intermediate stand after approx. 5 meters directly below the edge. From there it is about 20 meters along the rock and then 50 meters free hanging. Water catchment before the last 3 rappels.

Kernalpbach (superiore): Canyon Start
2024-02-04: Lots of wood in the canyon. Strenuous climbing over boulders. A few attractive single pitches. Good for warming up for the lower part.
Approach: Take the Diegisbalm self-service cable car to the middle station (first stop). From there, follow the road on foot to the right around the first hairpin bend and follow the path further uphill. Leave the road at a sharp right-hand bend and follow the marked hiking trail steeply uphill towards Diegisbalm Oberalp. The path is steep, then flat, then steep again, then flat, when the path bends to the right again and goes steeply uphill, follow the path straight ahead until you reach the stream. Abseil into the canyon from a tree.
Tour: The upper parts of the Kernalpbach are characterized by open, medium-high rappels. There is a lot of wood in the canyon. The rappels are medium-high up to approx. 30 m. A good preparation for the lower section.

2025-06-19: Very slippery, anchors are in good condition except for C18 we improvised with a tree. (see picture)
Return: It is best to continue through the Chli Schliere, otherwise orographically left out of the stream, following the hiking trail steeply uphill to the lower car.

Älggibach: Canyon Start
Tour: From the normal start, you quickly reach an approx. 200 m high ramp. Then a few downclimbs and another ramp, followed by an 80 m high waterfall. The exit of the tour is then quickly reached and you return to the asphalt road via the forest road on the right. Ice climbers probably use the anchors here more often!

Return: Follow the forest road to the right up to 1138 m. From there, follow the ropes upwards until you reach the access road again at 1399 m.

Access: From Widi on Lake Sarnen, follow the signpost to the center of Switzerland. At altitude 1578, in a left-hand bend just after the exit of the forest, an unpaved path turns off to the right. There is space to park here. You can also see the stream from here.

Lauibach: Canyon Start
Approach: 2 solutions from the parking lot: -Either take a mini-shuttle and take the cable car to the Turren cable car. From the cable car, take the path that branches off the road, 500 m further on and then (1570 m above sea level) take the path to the left and descend on the hiking trail to the altitude of 1310 m above sea level. From there, descend as best you can to the stream. At the exit, it can be useful to rappel down a tree to reach the streambed. Approach 40-50 min without shuttle bus or cable car. -Either take the hiking trail, which crosses the stream after 50 m and then climbs up in serpentines to the right. Ascend to an altitude of 1310 m. From there, descend as best you can to reach the stream. At the exit, it may be useful to rappel down a tree to reach the streambed. (535 m difference in altitude approx. 1h30-2h).
Tour: The canyon starts with some waterfalls, then you come to a nice C25 in a half tube, another C8, a small T2 and you are at the top of the C140. We descended from a tree from RG (sling created). A length of 40 m leads to a relay offset to RG (better rock quality and you avoid falling rocks). From there we moved directly down with a length of 105 m, but it would be possible to drill a relay to avoid friction at -20/25 m. Rappels of the rope not complicated. The lower part of the descent (the last 50 m) is done in the water when the wind pushes the waterfall in that direction. No easy escape routes, water is avoidable.

Lauibach: Canyon End
Return: Further in the streambed at best (30-40min) blocks.... You find 2-3 quite nice passages that you have de-escalated, then you leave the creek at the footbridge, the car is 50m away.

Lauibach: Parking at Entry
Access: On the Brünigpass road in Lucerne, take the Lungern exit and head towards Turren Bahn (Industriestrasse). At the large parking lot, turn left into the 1.4 km long studenstrasse, which runs on the right-hand side of the river.

2023-07-31: Rappel rings usually not redundant and placed so that you are directly in the water jet. At higher water levels certainly problematic. The two "interesting" parts of the gorge are already worthwhile.
Approach: From the parking lot, the hiking trail into Val Codera begins between the houses, i.e. not along the gravel road. Go through Codera, after a fountain take the hiking trail down to the right. Shortly before the bridge on the orographic right side of the stream, walk back through the forest for approx. 100m, then rappel from a tree into the canyon over a slope.
Tour: The initial section under the bridge is spectacularly incised. A few rappels follow. At times you are directly in the water jet. This is followed by a left-hand tributary that almost doubles the volume of water. Then comes a long walking passages before continuing with the second part. Then another long block climb before you can get off at a pipe on the right.

Approach: From there you will hear the Hongrin River. You are 150 meters from the river on the right. Cross the forest as far as possible to enter the canyon.
Tour: A horizontal, rather wide canyon lined with fir trees. A playful descent with interesting water movements. Several possible emergency exits in RG. The Hongrin has its source at Lac Lioson 1848m. Nival regime. The natural catchment area of the Hongrin is 81.8 km2.

Avançon de Torgon: Canyon Start
Approach: When you park at the bottom, take the hiking trail up 500 meters in altitude towards Torgon (not always marked red and white) until you reach the large waterfall at the top (1h-1h20). Beware of the ascent with steep passages, but secured with chains. When you park at the top, descend on the hiking trail (15-20 min.).
Tour: 2 small obstacles of 6-8m, then the large waterfall of 120-150m After the snow melts and until the first snow. The descent consists of a single large, sloping waterfall from which you have a magnificent view of the entire Rhône valley, which you should do for the view alone (see photos). No info on equipment (canyon not climbed, only seen), but there is a monopoint (new) on a block in the RG above the big waterfall and a harness (to be changed) on a tree in the RG at -20m, after that? But possibility to set slightly different points as the waterfall is not vertical. Shuttle possible, but long. Descent that can round off a day after Tine de Mayen and Tine de la Greffe.

Tour: A little involved "forest" canyon that includes a series of waterfalls with heights between 6 and 24 meters. The final sequence is aesthetically pleasing in a beautifully formed rock. However, the abseils are rather impractical and have poor friction for the most part. Possibility to get out of the water at any time. Numerous escape routes below the road in the RG

Torrent de Chavalet: Canyon Start
Approach: You can walk into the water directly from the road. For the part above the road, take a footpath 30m to the right in the direction of Champéry, this path leads away from the torrent, turn right at the first crossroads and walk back to the torrent at an altitude of 1040m.
Tour: Not very deep and interrupted canyon. For the part above the road, there is a pretty waterfall at the beginning, but this is followed by a fairly long part with hikes and de-escalations in slippery boulders. After passing under the Champéry road (at this point you can enter the canyon), the stream flows under 2 pretty bridges. These bridges overlook an area with small slides carved out of beautiful rock. After that, the creek gets deeper and offers a series of beautiful waterfalls. Watch the water level, however, as the catch basins of these waterfalls are narrow and can cause dangerous water movement. Emergency exits: You can get out of the water at any time and avoid obstacles in the RG if necessary.

Access: On the road towards Champéry, you cross the canyon 1km before the village in a left-hand bend. Park in a space 50m to the left after the hairpin bend.

Access: It is possible to drive up almost to Cabanna Cava With a little persuasion, it is also possible to take a cab. It is not worth taking a shuttle because the journey takes almost an hour!
Return: It is best to do the inferior part as well, otherwise get off at the entry to Inferiore and take the hiking trail back to the car. If you want to do the last big waterfall at Inveriore, you need longer ropes than recommended!

Cascades de Morcles: Canyon Start
2025-06-22: I think some of the anchors could be replaced and/or moved. Quite a lot of algae and slippery in places.
2023-08-19: Not particularly nice at first... but then great
Approach: Hairpin bends back to the road and inconspicuously take a path leading down to the river. Then follow the watercourse RG.
Tour: Description: After a horizontal parts you will reach the big waterfall. You have to make a 10 m long MC RG to reach the relay RG. Pay attention to the friction. It is not advisable to use the relay about 50 m below, which is in the active and impractical. Now medium-sized obstacles line up without much interest. In the C32 the whole thing gains character again. It leads down into the active and the water level must therefore be low. The C72 also requires a little sensitivity. Watch out for the unstable ice stick, which releases numerous stones, and first rappel about ten meters to the RG relay. From there, rappel below the water jet directly to the foot of the waterfall. Emergency exits: One escape option after C112. The others are trickier. Hydrology: Water intake without much effect. The waterfalls are lowered into the active. The water level quickly causes problems. Notes: Anchorage of C72 is RG, not visible from the start of the chute. Note: There is no point worrying about rocket debris in the canyon. You will not get any. However, avoid playing with the remains! You never know!

Access: Access to the valley: From Lausanne or Bern, drive in the direction of Simplon. Exit in St Maurice and drive through the village. At the traffic circle, turn off towards Lavey and then Morcles. Park at the first bridge below the C72. There are only a few parking spaces. Uphill access : Continue to Morcles and park before the bridge that crosses the river again. It is possible to make an intermediate access below the C112 at the 16th bend (numbered bends).
Return: Below the C72, take a small path RG that meets the road.

Gorges du Pichoux: Canyon Start
Approach: Reach the watercourse below the bridge.
Tour: The descent begins with a small gulch with a C10 (15m descent, AN RG), followed by a C12 (2 very high points RD). This is followed by a series of steps and de-escalation as the stream flows alongside the road (300m, some small slides possible) and you reach the final C20 (2 points RD). The descent is short and follows the road for much of the way, but it is not necessarily easy riding on the road. Uninteresting descent as too close to the road!

Gorges du Pichoux: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Go to the village of Le Pichoux, then head towards Châtelat and park on the right, just after crossing the torrent.
Return: Continue in the riverbed, take an RG trail to get to the road, and hairpin bends back to the car on the road.

Approach: On the north side, take the path along Ambra, then cross the bridge and take the forest path up along Bri.
Tour: Some nice rappels, also smaller jumps possible (or 3-5m slides at the exit of the rappel). The narrow part at the end is nice, although too short.

Approach: From the parking lot, an initially steep hiking trail begins opposite, which you follow in a south-easterly direction. At a junction, take the left-hand variant until you reach a small lake (Lago del Mot). After approx. 200m, turn right into the streambed, where you can clearly see the entry to the first part of the canyon.
Tour: Several very narrow, dark gulches with numerous rock arches separated by more open parts where you can easily get out. This is followed by a longer walk and downclimb with some water. In the final part, which is no longer so narrowly cut, there are about 10 more rappels.

Approach: At the bridge at 1009m you can walk down into the streambed, and in a little more than 100m the canyon begins.
Tour: The canyon actually has the same ambience throughout. Small steps rappeling in the water, in a constant 10-30m gulch. An emergency exit is often possible every 5 rappels (even if it is often steep up the slope). There are three larger waterfalls during the tour, with the very large one being the crux of the tour.

Approach: From the parking lot we can already see the canyon and the access. Follow the forest road to the wooden bridge. You can check the water level at the wooden bridge. Then follow the path (not marked but clearly visible) on the orthographic right-hand side of the canyon to the entry point.
Tour: At the beginning there is one rappel after the other. Beautifully polished rock with clear water in the pools. There are a few jumps and slides. In between, the canyon opens up and it is possible to get out. Smaller walking passages in the middle section. A few more rappels at the end.

Traversagna: Canyon Start
Approach: The Traversagna is a pretty canyon that begins in the village of Roveredo GR. There are two ways of "descending": 1. from the church, climb up the watercourse in an easy scramble for about 1 hour until you reach a waterfall where it is not possible to climb up. It is a beautiful environment with some pools, jumps and topogans. 2. we start the canyon upstream, where there are many steps that make entry difficult - in total there are three more waterfalls than in option 1.

2025-06-30: Everything ok. Slippery. Little water. Jump possible. Direct access to the lower part - without jump and running route, start directly below the house on the right at the edge of the path - apparently...
Approach: From the parking lot in the hairpin bends, descend a little to the next haipin bend. Follow the clearly visible path and cross into the valley. Pass two wooden buildings and continue down towards the stream. Beware of the risk of slipping. There are several fixed ropes here to make the descent to the entry easier. After a few minutes you reach the entry point.
Tour: The tour is quite easy and suitable for beginners. Starting with approx. 150m of walking passages in the streambed with some woodwork, we come to the first rappel C10. Here, after approx. 7m, there is a jump out of the chute. Jumping is often possible. However, if the water level is very low, be sure to check the pool beforehand. It is not possible to slide out of the chute, as a rock protrudes directly below the waterfall. After further downclimbing in the tree mikado, we come to a fixed rope R2. This was no longer accessible on the last tour (August 25). However, it can be bypassed on the right by downclimbing. The following C3 can also be downclimbed to the left. After another 150m of walking passages, we reach a rope traverse on the right to the chain anchor R8. Continue over another rope traverse to the C10 orographic left. After this rappel, go directly to the rope traverse of the maximum rappel C18 on the left. This is followed by approx. 100m walking passages over several tree trunks. We come to a slide T4. Attention: the arrival pool is not too deep. Alternatively, you can rappel here via a single bolt on the right. The chain anchor to the final abseil C10 is located directly afterwards. All belays are equipped with chain anchors. Only the rappel at the slide consists of a single bolt.

There is a wood processing plant here, where there are gravel areas with logs to the left and right of the road. Park the first car here (please note the no-stopping signs and company exit!). Take the second car over the bridge in the direction of Dafins. Park the second car in one of the bays.
Return: After the last waterfall, turn right onto a clearly visible path. Follow this trail a few meters through the forest until you reach the road. Follow this down to the second car or up to the car.

Approach: From the Car Park, follow the Devils Punchbowl Track once over the Bealey River and a second time over Devils Punchbowl Creek. Then turn right and follow the Mount Aicken Track for about 800m. At about 1620m, descend in a south-facing chute for 750m until you reach a small mountain lake. From there, descend steeply south-east into the canyon.
Tour: The tour starts at approx. 1400m. In 2019 only 3 stands were drilled. The rest were rappelled at natural points.

2024-05-18: Short canyon with one beautiful part. It is almost always doable, even if other canyons have too much water.
2023-08-13: As another canyon was dry, we went trapping again. Walked up on foot.
Approach: From the parking lot in Niederurnen, walk towards the stream and turn left onto a forest path (no driving). Follow this to the exit and then follow the path to the right, which leads across a meadow to the road, which you follow up to the top. At the exit of the asphalted road, follow the fence to the canyon rim, then rope down the tree 25 m into the canyon. The owner has paved a slope down to the stream, but has declared it as private land.
Tour: The tour starts in the forest with smaller rappels, sometimes trees are needed as it is slippery. After 15 - 20 minutes it becomes more raviney and the tour starts to be fun. When you get a view, you have almost reached the exit. A 70 m waterfall marks the end. Then there is a final rappel into the unsightly streambed.

Return: At the mine, exit on the left bank via the path

Torrent du Fournel: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the asphalt road uphill to the beginning of the canyon (signposted).
Tour: The descent consists of a series of small jumps, slides, etc. During the walk down, there are 3 or 4 passages under blocks or siphons that break up the descent. One of the siphons is remarkable in the middle of the canyon. The blocks form a floor with a siphon in the middle. Despite the feeling of confinement, it goes very well and you end up in the pool below in a fraction of a second. Everything can be done without ropes, without having to worry. The level can change quickly. The canyon has a number of via ferratas, which are equipped like climbing routes and, above all, are well marked. There is also a scale at the entrance indicating the water level. Allowed only if:- uniquement si le niveau est inférieur à 0 sur l'échelle de niveau située à l'entrée du canyon. July to September seems to be the best time for this canyon, which is heavily frequented by tour guides. It is the most frequented canyon in the Haut Val-Durance, as it is one of the easiest and suitable for a first discovery of the area, in a beautiful natural setting. If you know how to use the terrain, it even offers good opportunities for jumps, slides and unexpected passages.

Access: From Gap, head towards Grenoble, then Col de Manse; at the crossroads, go straight on towards Ancelle. Go past the ski station and cross the second bridge over the Rouanne stream (point 1341m, direction St Léger). From the bridge, always in the direction of St Léger, continue for 230m and then turn right. Follow this small road straight ahead, which becomes a dirt road, to the large parking lot near the sheep enclosure, altitude 1620m. From Grenoble, just after the hamlet of Brutinel, turn left towards Ancelle / Orcières-merlette. The best way to avoid passing through Ancelle is to turn right at the entrance to the village over a bridge towards Col de Moissière, then left towards St Léger. As with the approach via Gap, turn left at the 2nd bridge, right and then 230 m right.
Return: From the final C8 you can reach the parking lot in 5 minutes by walking along the watercourse RD or RG.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the main path, which you leave and switch to the left-hand path. Very quickly you reach the exit of the canyon with a view of the last waterfall (C8). Follow this track (the same path as the via ferrata), which you leave at the 1st hairpin on the right to reach a good path (quite steep in the undergrowth) that overlooks the canyon. From the top you bypass a small scree basin and reach a grassy plain. Continue along a path that crosses the stream just before the first obstacle (C4). For the intermediate approach, descend via a path in the trees directly after the boulder field.
Tour: A C4, then a C10, some small passages (qq slides and an inclined plane) lead to the middle start. Then a few small waterfalls, including a C10, and a short walk lead to the finale. For this penultimate pool, rappel, slide or jump over bank D. Note that this pool is not very deep, aim for the right-hand part for the jump; if in doubt, rappel or slide (which works very well). C8 concludes this beautiful descent. ATTENTION: In the upper part, some slides are not accessible, watch out for the sloping wall in strong currents or if the ratchet is very slippery. Only a few jumps are also possible in the lower section. If the water is not transparent, you are not familiar with this route and the obstacle is equipped, opt for an abseil. This canyon is often visited by groups under professional guidance, which is why you will often find permanently installed ropes at the small jumps. Have the decency to leave them in place... Commitment The intermediate entry is an obvious escape route located about 20 min from the classic entry. Néammois, before the 10 m high waterfall, you can escape on the right bank on a (somewhat exposed) but obvious ledge. Period/character of the water The water is quite cold, June/September. The water character (A2) at low water is corrected upwards in spring or early summer, as this canyon is a mountain stretch where the snow can remain for quite a long time. Check the flow rate at the last waterfall (not at the height of the slope, because of losses). Notes Another canyon very close by: Peyron Roux (the 45/50 m waterfall that plunges 15 min before arriving in RD). To link these two canyons in sunshine, prefer this tributary in the morning and then Rouanette around 1pm to get through before the groups. Likewise, to spend a pleasant and full day in the mountains, attack from the top (Jas Cerisier above, see map), some nice rappels with short sleeves, then the connection of 30min (1km).

2024-09-14: All anchors ok. Access down into the canyon from Cortesell a bit tedious - possibly descended too early
Approach: Then follow the initially paved, later gravel road westwards along the Torrente Osola. At its exit at the material cable car, you first cross a bridge over the Cortesell. Directly after this bridge, a path branches off upwards. Follow this up to an altitude of about 1300m (past the first house), then leave the path and descend slightly, more to the east, through the bushes more or less directly down to the stream.
Tour: After the first rappel, there is a slightly longer walking passage. This is followed by rappel after rappel. First over flat, open terrain. Later, the stream is cut into a little and is no longer so beautifully polished. The stream exits directly at the bridge we crossed on the access.

2025-05-11: Everything in order
Approach: From the chapel, walk into the valley, turn left after approx. 200m and walk under the road. Continue straight ahead to the edge of the forest. Turn left there and follow the gravel path to the right after the bridge. A narrow path immediately leads steeply uphill towards the Hemerachalm. At a junction, take the right-hand path, which leads a few meters to the Konerbach stream, where the entry point is (on the other side of the stream you will see a forest path).
Tour: Well suited as a "practice canyon" (many intermediate stands, very vertical) - nevertheless beautiful and scenically impressive! Stands in good condition (even if one would wish for one or two chain anchors instead of anchors). The highest rappel (45m) is very difficult to pull off! The height indications are all a bit short, especially if you want to go from stand to stand (better take a little more rope with you). In the topographic view from 2011 there are 12 rappels - but currently there is an additional one with approx. 7-10m before the highest rappel, so there are 13 rappels in total.

Approach: From the parking bay, follow the road further north. Cross the Verzasca at the 1st public bridge and follow the hiking trail south again. After entering the forest, the hiking trail branches off to the right after 300m. Be careful, the junction is not very easy to see. Follow this path up to an altitude of 1240m. This is the entry point. Alternatively, you can shorten the detour over the bridge by crossing the Verzasca and walking through the river.
Tour: From entry to exit, the canyon has rappels throughout and is very continuous. There are almost no longer walking passages. At the last rappel (comes after a 50m rappel from which you can already see the road) do not rappel into the crack but onto the back behind it. Otherwise it is difficult to pull off the rope. Then follow the ridge and descend to the hiking trail.

Access: From Corte on the T(erritoriale)20 we drive about 16.5 km in the direction of Ajaccio. Immediately before the new road bridge over the Vecchio (the "Pont Eiffel" railroad bridge on the right), we turn right onto the D723, which takes us into the Verghello valley. Follow the narrow road to the bridge over the Verghello into the valley floor. This road is closed on days when there is an increased risk of forest fires.

v3 a6 II | 5min/25min/5min | 5⭐ | 4m
2018-12-23: Normal water level for this stream (about 2.8 m³/sec at the Kamnik gauge).
Approach: Cross the gorge by means of a bridge and follow a hiking trail on the opposite bank upstream until you can descend to the stream above the gorge walls.
Tour: After a short walking passages and a massive rock channel, you come to the key point of the tour, a 4m waterfall. From a traverse bolt, traverse orographic left to a small rock platform and from there jump far(!) out to the front. If you want to rappel here, be sure to use a drift anchor. The pool is very receding and has already caused one fatal accident. After that, only swim and small downclimbs, some of which can be jumped. Difficulties here are heavily dependent on jammed tree trunks. At the exit of the main gorge, you can climb out orographic to the right or descend briefly through the small, less difficult Mali Predoselj.

2022-11-12: Perfect conditions, wonderful, challenging glacier water, and still really sunny. Incredible tour.
Tour: Great tour, in the top part cool rappels in beautiful limestone, then super vertical. When you've had enough, you come to the siphon, and at the end, you'll be trolling down the last waterfalls. Max c120 (30 / 50 / 40 )

Fluaz: Canyon Start
2024-11-08: 2 dead frogs in the stream, twice as many as in the Aua dil Mer last week.
Approach: Start early! Ideally, start at Alp Sura just as the sun rises (7:00). Follow the hiking trail for an hour, cross Gavirolas, and then another 10 minutes to the start of Fluaz.
Tour: Superiore : Carries about half of the water. If you want to make inferiore, the part should probably already have ice, otherwise there is too much water at the bottom! Attention! As soon as there is sunlight, the rocks on the left and right thaw again and stones fall down, so superiore is not really recommended (do Gavirolas instead, which runs parallel). Inferiore : After the confluence it gets sporty, the gulches are occasionally interrupted by steep emergency exits. The first big rappel "The White Out" (about 50-55m) has very strong water pressure after 40m, but it flies over the last 6-8m. At 2024 you could then stand comfortably behind the beam in the pool below. So it's better to put more rope in the rappel than to make it too short, in the last third (except for the very last 5m) you can hardly see anything.

Approach: From the Tschingelsee, follow the Bärenpfad in the direction of Griesalp / Golderli. The well-maintained hiking trail first leads steeply uphill and then crosses a small bridge over a stream. Continue on the path until you see a conspicuous building on the meadow on the right (downhill). Walk across the meadow to the edge of the forest, where you meet the small stream just before the slope. Continue to follow the stream.
Tour: For the last few meters to the edge, hang a rope from a tree and use it to descend secured to the last suitable tree. Use another tree as a natural anchor and rappel from there for about 80 meters. An intermediate stand can be set up after approx. 35 meters (in the water!) - but it is unlikely to find suitable anchors here.

Tour: The Rybi Canyon is a very beautiful canyon between Lauterbrunnen and Wengen. The access is a very easy to walk hiking trail with a superiore view of the valley (Lauterbrunnen), the Swiss mountains and the Mättlibach stream. The Rybi canyon is only visible from the hiking trail at second glance: The high waterfall of Canyon Mättli attracts everyone's attention. The Rybi is a little to the left and is much more difficult to spot. The Rybi canyon has several impulsive key points. There is a good shower at several waterfalls. The canyon is moderately well equipped - a few new anchor points wouldn't hurt.

Approach: Follow the road to Spiggengrund on foot for about 1.7 km until you reach the first bridge over the Spiggenbach stream just behind the dam.
Tour: Alongside the Gries and Gamchi canyons, the Spiggenbach is a canyoning gem in the Kandertal valley near Reichenbach (Bern/Berne/Berner Oberland). The canyon is very scenic and the abseils are a fun challenge. Caution: Don't tie out too early! In several places there were two steps down, this also applies to the C32! Warning from the power plant operator: Staying on or in the streambed below the water intake of a hydroelectric power plant is dangerous. If there is a technical fault in the power station, the water level can suddenly rise. What is dangerous is that the so-called surge water can neither be prevented nor predicted in terms of time. It is also independent of the weather.

Approach: Continue along this road on the D bank of the Vesubie for 600 m and take the first bridge over the Riou.
Tour: Attack at the level of the via ferrata's starting platform, rappel 15 meters to gain a foothold in the canyon. A T7 and then the beautiful 20-meter abseil that leads directly into the Vésubie. The route continues more or less floating depending on the water level. Length of the route: 215 m for the Riou de Lantosque + 330 m for the Vésubie. Do not start with a large volume of water in the Vésubie, which is very deep in this part. The flow of the Riou will therefore be modest. To be done from June to October as a complement to another in the valley. Very small shuttle possible...

Approach: Go up the tarmac road and after the three hairpins turn left onto the road to Crest.Follow the road and at the 3rd bend (right turn) take a good path to the left into the woods (signs: Orrido di Ratus, percorso alto).Continue on a good path that overlooks the breezy canyon that joins the stream (between a sloping C40 and a C20 with a basin).Cross it and climb up a small path on the right bank, which is quite steep. Very quickly, at a small right pin and a small plain, turn left horizontally (there is no longer a path) to reach the starting point, which is actually the tributary on the D bank of the Brenve and offers a nice little starting basin above the C50.
Tour: Jump, rappel or slide into the beautiful initial pool and then a 50 m long rappel introduced into the real Brenve torrent.A spectacular environment where easy slides and beautiful de-escalations follow one another until the last three pools, which offer a strong thrill on the descent.The last one in particular: deep, large, enclosed by overhanging walls, offers the possibility of a spectacular jump (about 13 m) or a magnificent rappel. Some areas outside the high water, few loopholes. Numerous washbasins. Canyons with a large and high catchment area. A fairly short canyon with obviously considerable mountain potential... Slippery canyon, very beautiful surroundings, crystal clear water.

2020-09-21: We have the intermediate state of the last cascade again (accessible with 45m+30m). Video of the tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYAgrrOmd88
Approach: From the church, take the road that leads uphill in a northerly direction. The road quickly becomes a path and then a trail. You can clearly see the last waterfall on the right. After the last field, the path turns left. At the first fork, turn right and begin the ascent in switchbacks to the canyon. At the top, the path is flat and straight across the canyon. After a sheep farm ("Chez la Ville"), turn right at the first crossroads. You quickly reach the canyon at the first hollow (where you can see an abandoned metal pipe on the ground). It is probably shorter to reach the canyon earlier. However, we have not tested this.
Tour: The canyon begins with a step that can perhaps be bridged (see previous observation). You encounter some widely spaced ledges, then the canyon gets deeper. The abseils become higher and narrower. An MC on a chain on the right overlooks a beautiful waterfall with a high pool (C14 + C28). The 65 m long waterfall at the exit is interrupted by an aerial ropeway, giving approximately two lengths of 38 and 27 m. Engagement There are no means of escape in the canyon, however it seems to be easy to get out of the first part, while it is much more difficult in the second part. However, it is relatively easy to get out of the flood. Period/ water character Strong water flow in spring, quite acceptable in summer. The ideal time is from the exit of June to September. Remarks Very average equipment, subject to high water. It seems advisable to take something to upgrade.

At the crossroads at the exit of Valpelline, go straight on towards Oyace (left: direction Ollomont). 150 m after this crossroads, turn left to reach Semon. It is best to park next to the church in the middle of the village.
Return: Below the last waterfall there is a waterworks to protect the village and just after that a footbridge to exit the canyon on the right. Walk straight ahead along the field you came across to reach the access path (obvious).

Torrente Comboè: Canyon Start
2020-09-28: A fascinating canyon. Impressive high water marks. Better for guided rappel. 2 ropes of 60 m each. Anchoring different. Video of the tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-ZeOOHvzZw Photos and GPS...
Tour: About 20 waterfalls, first part well equipped, in the second part the equipment could be improved and it is sometimes necessary to use the same ropes for several jumps. Commitment First way out at a rockfall in the first part. Second possible exit at the soiled pool (see comments). Period/ water character August-September. Estimate the amount of water well, as some waterfalls become problematic when there is a lot of water. Don't forget that a withdrawal above the lower parking lot causes a large part of the actual water volume to disappear, so check well above! Historical overview First ascent M. Rivadossi and S. Zipponi (08/1998) Remarks In the first third of the canyon there is a small siphon in a basin on the right, which can be overcome by an opposition. The final 45 m waterfall is characterized by a first inclined part where all the water collects in a chute that is abruptly interrupted by a vertical. A few steps without leaving the ropes to reach the second watered part.

Les goilles du Pourtset : Canyon Start
2020-09-29: All rappels in the dry. Nevertheless, high risk, as the Pourtset is crossed several times. There are several potentially critical points which should not be underestimated. Be careful, it is slippery....
Approach: Cross the Ayasse and walk 100 m along the river on a fishing path before entering the water (obviously). Before entering the canyon, follow the hiking trail that runs along the canyon some distance downstream in RD. From this trail, sections of trails are created for tourist purposes that lead to viewpoints overlooking the canyon. This allows you to gauge the flow rate and see what difficulties await you.
Tour: Anyone entering the Canyon Pourtset should know exactly what they are doing. There are several potentially critical sections that should not be underestimated. Be careful, it is slippery. Scenically, this canyon is very beautiful. After a short horizontal river ride, the canyon begins with a C8, which can be jumped over without any problems. Incidentally, from the wide catch basin, you can climb onto a ledge at a right angle to make a jump of about 15 meters. This is immediately followed by a second waterfall (visible from the first vantage point), which initially runs diagonally and then vertically and can also be jumped over. However, if you jump, a strong counter could prevent you from getting out of the pool, not to mention the risk of being pulled towards the overflow. A better option is to rappel down a rope and climb over the vein of water directly above the pool, then take a delicate step to gain a foothold on an RD platform. This is the only real difficulty of the canyon. Further along, there are numerous chutes that dangerously pool the still-strong water flow. They must not be entered under any circumstances. The flood-free facilities in the RD make it possible to bypass them safely. It is a little frustrating, but the descent remains of great aesthetic interest. A long inclined area located in the RD at the exit requires two 40 m ropes. The final abseil is skipped with the usual reservations. Nota Bene: In Arpitan or Franco-Provençal, a goille is a basin animated by the movement of water. A whole program! Commitment After the first waterfall, an exit from the canyon is impossible or extremely difficult without first putting on a rope. Season/water character The water level of the Ayasse river, which collects the valley, is high all year round. Wait for the exit of the melting of the high-altitude firn, not before July, to consider the descent. At the beginning of the canyon you will find the usual signs warning of the danger of a sudden rise in the water. According to a fisherman, there is a reservoir above the river to regulate the flow of the Ayasse, but no water is released, either at inopportune times or otherwise, only by overflow. Every spring, however, this reservoir is drained for maintenance purposes. The canyon is not accessible at this time of year. Geology Metamorphic rock Very aesthetic canyon with a pronounced gulch and water flow, an "atmosphere" that will delight many people.

Access: Between Verrès and Pont St Martin, leave the national road in the direction of Hône and then drive up the entire Champorcher valley to the center of this municipality, which is called "Château" or "Castello". In "Château", go straight on at the first crossroads. 300 m further on, turn left and park before the bridge over the Ayasse in a parking lot opposite a sports field.
Return: When the canyon widens, you can quickly get back on the above trail through an RD exit and return to the car in 30'.

2020-09-27: A canyoning tour in the Prouve is certainly not the highlight of the week, but it's fun nonetheless. Nothing special but still a beautiful scenic experience. Video of the tour: https://www.youtube.c...
Tour: The ascent to the first bridge (Alt; 660m) is really not very good, the waterfalls are very steep. Then a C22 under the bridge, the route gets better, a second small wooden bridge, then the highlight: MC, C16, hanging pool, C40. Then 2 small waterfalls and a C34. Path on the D bank, artificial basin from which you have to descend as best you can (rappel approx. 20 m) to reach the streambed. Commitment Medium, 2 loopholes at the bridges leading left to the road, no dip. Period/ water character Very small water catchment area, facing south-west and reaching its highest point at Monte dell'Aquila, 2580m. Therefore medium water flow, canyon accessible from April to October. A few pools. Geology Metamorphic rock similar to granite. Remarks The first part can be avoided: At the first hairpin bend on the right on the way up, take the small road on the left that passes at the foot of the ruined Castello, parking lot at the exit. Follow the path for about 10 minutes on foot to the bridge at an altitude of 660 m. Good bivouac site shortly after leaving Arnad between the road and the stream (valle del Va).

Cascades de Thuy: Canyon Start
2020-09-23: On 23.09.2020 we went canyoning in the Cascades de Thuy (Torrent de Septumian). This canyon is a very short canyon. The highlight is a 107m high waterfall, with two intermediate stands. Anchor very we...
Approach: Continue along the road, which is closed to traffic and turns into a path. This runs along the Septumian stream on the right-hand side. At a meadow with an unobstructed view of the canyon's large waterfall, the track makes a sharp 90° bend to the left. The exit of the canyon is at this point. Follow the ascending track for another 300 m until you reach a crossroads 60 m before a bridge over the Torrent d'Arlier. Turn right to walk along the stream and, 100 m further on, take a well-maintained and clearly visible path on the right that leads up to the hamlets of Thuy dessus and Thuy dessous. After just under a quarter of an hour of fairly steep ascent, the path bends to the left, bordered on the right by an imposing escarpment. The path then continues on a gentler slope. At this bend, note a barely visible track on the right that leads to a ridge overlooking the canyon, which can be reached in 3' from the trail (cairn erected in 2018).
Tour: Canyon Thuy actually only has one complex key section, but this is definitely worth a canyoning tour. The high rappel has 3 parts: On the left side are the rakes for the first 25 to 30 meters with a moderate gradient. Directly at the edge, you have to go far to the right (in the direction of the river). It can be challenging for the first to reach the second anchor point. There is no eye contact between the first and second anchor points. From the second anchor point, the route descends freely for about 50 meters. There is a shower, but not much water flows. The third anchor is again on the left side and from there the remaining meters go down. A fairly short and pleasant descent that will delight fans of big verticals. After an MC access (anchors at RD or AN height), the large vertical is divided into three lengths: 27 m inclined, anchors RG, then 55 m in vacuum, anchors RD, and 25 m, anchors RG at the height of a ledge. Exit in the RD via an obvious path after a water inlet and before a hydraulic structure to protect the village. Commitment Possible but difficult to exit before the large vertical. Quite easy after this. Period/water character The flow rate is generally low, but never zero. The optimal period is from the exit of May until the first cold snap. Geology Metamorphic rock. Poor rock quality in the area of the large verticals. History First ascent on 14.07.2018 by JM Aguilar and F Lété, whereby the large vertical was apparently already climbed during ice climbing (a single, rather poorly placed anchor on spits found at the top). Notes Descent with air relay only for people who are comfortable with rope maneuvers.

Approach: Cross under the road through the tunnel and follow the path to the left down into the canyon.
Tour: Many smaller rappels. The last one is the last one with a height of approx. 22 meters. Nice descent that merges without much downtime. A C7 comes before a C6 and two small slides before you come to a car wreck. After a jump of 3 meters, you cross a C9 and come to a 4-meter slide, which you climb down without ropes (after the usual precautions). This is followed by a nice C16, followed by a second 8 m slide. The next waterfall is a C11, from which you can also make a 3-meter jump. Two waterfalls of 4 and 7 meters follow at once before you reach the viewpoint (C22, which leads into a large pool), where tourists gather halfway up to admire you as you descend to their applause... Commitment Throughout the descent, there are numerous escape routes in the DR. Period/water character Cold water (07° C in August). No swimming and only a few jumps possible (4). Often "infran" during snowmelt (check the water level at Belvedere before descending). Remarks Canyon for beginners, quite slippery. A car wreck in the canyon at the start of the descent. It is possible to take a 3 km shuttle bus via the D 354 (the approach is then limited to 5 min.).

At the Chalets de Borets, turn right towards Bout du Monde. At the footbridge, descend the stream to reach the 1st waterfall. Access possible via the exit of the world, you walk past the foot of the waterfall and other equally beautiful waterfalls; 20/30 min more, but more comfortable.
Tour: A continuous series of large verticals in a beautiful hollow with a magnificent panorama. From the second rappel of 2 x 65 m, the rappels line up perfectly without putting the rope down. With a very large current, the start of the MC of the last rappel is not visible in the active. You would have to rig this MC in the RG in the counter-current to cross the active to the RD start and use it for a lead or unclutch from below. The first person to do this, watch out! ObligationThe only possible way out is at the exit of the first abseil. After that, no exit is possible. Caution: In spring, when the high firn melts and cannot be seen from the start, the flow can increase considerably in the early afternoon. History Groupe Spéléo d'Hauteville Lompnes (M. Cavet, P. Flochon, B. Hugon) in 1989. Notes Beware of friction. Risk of jamming the rope on the first rappel (last one better to use the relay). Currently MC start in the basin at the level of the relay to be used preferably, many unstable rocks on the upper MC.

Access: Access to the horseshoe is now prohibited, you park in the established parking lots downstream and cross the footbridge of Giffrenant, the difference in the duration of the route is not significant, but you change in the middle of the tourists. In 2009, a new parking lot was created and signposted on the right bank of the Giffre (wooden bridge), below Giffrenant, between Giffre and Nant des Joathons, saving about 500 meters. More inconspicuous parking spaces are available in the parking lot. Parking is strictly forbidden along the D907. Another note: the parking lot is paid in summer (2.50€) or you must arrive before 8am or park at the exit of Nambride, far, very far away.

Approach: 15min Only the lower part: Path straight ahead up the slope above the parking lot for about 100 vertical meters without crossing the torrent from the parking lot. Then the path branches off to the right to approach the torrent, which you clearly overlook. There is a spit there that you can rappel down to reach the stream below (approx. 15 m). Now the fun part begins. 45min-1h for the entire route: From the parking lot, it is best to cross the forest on the left to reach the slope. Follow this. 300 m after a bunker, a small, steep path leads over a scree slope down to the streambed.
Tour: Two unequipped landings must be de-escalated via the RG and then via the RD. A small slide is used to reach the narrows. A C6 equipped with RD precedes a second, similar obstacle equipped on both sides. This is followed by a C3, then a C4 equipped with R.L. before reaching the C13, which is active on the left bank and above water on the other side. A small ledge of 5 meters that is de-escalated. Then you come to the part that is the most fun (and practiced). This is where the middle part begins, starting with a T2 and then a T4 (you can ascend thanks to the equipment available). A well-grouped jump is even possible in the R.G. above the slide. A C5 in a well-cut section can be descended underwater on the R.D. or bridged on the R.G. on a large level. Then you reach the high point of this canyon: C17 (above water in the RG or in the active area on the other side...). Some small ledges end this beautiful descent. Narrow canyon, only one way out via a handrail (ropes). But equipped with high and low water. The middle, lower section can be completed in 1.5 hours with 2 people.

Access: In the valley of Nevache. Just after the sign for Plampinet, turn right onto a gravel road. Continue to the stream and park at the exit of the road (quite a lot of through traffic). Or go into Plampinet, turn right before the Auberge de la Clarée, continue to the barrier that blocks the slope from Les Acles and park in the parking lot.

Comment: Start der kommerziellen Touren
Approach: 15min Only the lower part: Path straight ahead up the slope above the parking lot for about 100 vertical meters without crossing the torrent from the parking lot. Then the path branches off to the right to approach the torrent, which you clearly overlook. There is a spit there that you can rappel down to reach the stream below (approx. 15 m). Now the fun part begins. 45min-1h for the entire route: From the parking lot, it is best to cross the forest on the left to reach the slope. Follow this. 300 m after a bunker, a small, steep path leads over a scree slope down to the streambed.
Tour: Two unequipped landings must be de-escalated via the RG and then via the RD. A small slide is used to reach the narrows. A C6 equipped with RD precedes a second, similar obstacle equipped on both sides. This is followed by a C3, then a C4 equipped with R.L. before reaching the C13, which is active on the left bank and above water on the other side. A small ledge of 5 meters that is de-escalated. Then you come to the part that is the most fun (and practiced). This is where the middle part begins, starting with a T2 and then a T4 (you can ascend thanks to the equipment available). A well-grouped jump is even possible in the R.G. above the slide. A C5 in a well-cut section can be descended underwater on the R.D. or bridged on the R.G. on a large level. Then you reach the high point of this canyon: C17 (above water in the RG or in the active area on the other side...). Some small ledges end this beautiful descent. Narrow canyon, only one way out via a handrail (ropes). But equipped with high and low water. The middle, lower section can be completed in 1.5 hours with 2 people. For the whole parts you have to reckon with 3 hours. Be aware of the risk of mudslides during summer storms.

Chillet, P. Droin in September 1991. Remarks Beautiful, sunny descent offering a lovely view of the Durance. This canyon is still called "Torrent de Saint-Crépin". Canyon rarely flooded; with an "unsurprising" amount of water (visible from the parking lot). It is possible to take a shuttle bus up to the hamlet of "Le Villard". In this case, the approach time is replaced by a fairly "vegetative" river walk of about ten minutes before arriving at the canyon proper.

Approach: From the parking lot (which is often crowded in high summer), take the path that crosses the Oules de Freissinières and climb up the G.R. on the right bank of the Torrent de Chichin. At one point, leave the forest and "shoot due north" into the boulder field. Continue in this direction and do not return to the south, which leads to the Oules. You will then reach the village of Dormillouse. At the small wooden bridge, head west again until you reach another small bridge, which is stone and Roman. The tranquillity and beauty of the surroundings should not stop you from getting out your equipment to gear up...
Tour: From the Roman bridge, walk 20 m up the stream to the first sill. A first C3 (spits in R.G.) can be jumped over when you see the block hidden under the foam. If the level allows, you can overcome it with a slide. You then pass under a natural millennial arch and can make a jump from a height of 6 meters. After crossing the Roman bridge, you can use the R.G. to get out. This allows a team member to install a zip line from below if you wish. The canyon then opens up to a more open area or between the sun with small abseils, slides and medium sized jumps (max. 10 m). Be careful with the numerous jumps, where you have to assess the "landing zone" well... Rappels too close from the water are guaranteed... too far is the knee in the chin... At the wooden bridge you saw on the ascent, you can take a break and eat by going to the right. Then you continue with a series of jumps and slides, including the famous "S" slide. Then you come to the most vertical part, where the abseiling sections This is followed by a fairly long sequence of abseils: C15 + C4 + R7 + C30 + C10 + C40 + C20 + C45... OUF... We have (at the top of this position) 170 m of gas under our feet... The gear is installed and the only special point of this part is the last 65m abseil, which has to be split. Then one member of the rope team descends to the relay (where there is no room for more than two members) to place the 45m rope for the final rappel. Commitment The equipment is very good, the depth of the pools varies from one year to the next.... The slips are before the wooden bridge, then two immediately after on the right. The last two are on the same bank at the top and bottom of the C30.... After that it is ... "atmospheric". Period/water character Some years the conditions for a descent will never be there ... This shows how watery this canyon is, which is only very rarely accessible before the exit of August and until the snow arrives. The history First ascent by Max Imbert and Henri Vincens. This route, considered very difficult, offers you the opportunity to navigate canyons in a remarkable alpine scenic setting. At the exit of the FREISSINIERES valley, the Biaysse river flows from the confluence of two torrents that emerge from deep and wild canyons: the Torrent des OULES and the Torrent de CHICHIN. The site at the heart of the PARC NATIONAL des ECRINS is exceptional for its fauna, flora and human environment. Climbing the Torrent de CHICHIN is a serious undertaking reserved for experienced sportsmen. You must be able to assess the risks before embarking on the descent, especially in terms of the speed of the water, as several passages can become traps. If the water spreads across the entire width of the waterfall and forms an almost uninterrupted curtain, the water level is too high. When the cascade splits into clearly separated rivulets, the conditions are most favorable. These conditions are usually present at the exit of the season (end of August, September). Don't forget to stow the equipment in the car. Once you have stowed the equipment in the car, you can try the excellent raspberry and blueberry tarts in the car at the exit of the parking lot. DORMILLOUSE, a village inhabited all year round, takes its name from the old French "l'endormie" (the marmot). It is only supplied by helicopter twice a year by the General Council of the Hautes-Alpes. So remember to bring the newspaper or something similar to one of the accommodations ... They will appreciate your gesture...

Approach: From the wooden sign, walk down the path and reach the streambed in a few minutes. Another option is to leave the cars at the bottom and walk up to the right bank on the GR that starts from the power station 600 m away. Good hikers will need 30 minutes for this solution.
Tour: Vorschriften: Canyoning zwischen 8:30 und 17:00 Uhr per Gemeinderatsbeschluss erlaubt. Achtung: Siphon! Es gibt eine gefährliche Stelle im Canyon, an der es bereits zu einem tödlichen Unglück gekommen ist. Das Wasser fließt dort unter einem Felsblock hindurch – an dieser Stelle darf man auf keinen Fall ins Wasser geraten. Die Gefahrenstelle ist im Canyon deutlich gekennzeichnet und so eingerichtet, dass sie über ein Seilgeländer sicher umgangen werden kann. Allgemeine Hinweise: Dieser sportliche Abstieg besteht aus einer Reihe von Wasserfällen, die unterschiedlich hoch sind: 6, 7, 10, 13, 5, 9, 7, 10, 10, 14, 7 und 6 Meter. Es gibt 3 kleine Engstellen, einen hängenden Felsen und, wenn man ein wenig suchen kann, kleine "höhlenartige" Passagen. Die Wasserfälle sind sehr schön und fotogen. Das Wasser ist kühl und ein Ganzkörperanzug ist unbedingt erforderlich. Die meisten Hindernisse können beliebig oft wiederholt werden oder bieten die Möglichkeit, im Notfall zu fliehen. Die Wasserbewegungen können hier sehr stark sein. Engagement: Keine, alle Wasserfälle können am linken oder rechten Ufer über einen Pfad geshiftet werden. Historisch: Gute Führer arbeiten dort seit langem (sie arbeiten in ihren Gärten...). Anmerkungen: Keine Sprünge und wenig Schwimmen, aber einige Abseilstellen werden gut bewässert. Pofiter, nach dem Canyon, um zum PRE DE MADAME CARLE am Fuße des weißen Gletschers "aufzusteigen" (45' Hin- und Rückweg hinzufügen). Für die Schlucht gibt es einen kleinen Parkplatz im Tal entlang des Baches auf der rechten Seite. Schöne Wasserbewegungen in fast allen Wasserfällen.

2018-09-24: This canyon is characterized by a very beautiful view of the mountains and two impressive final abseils. The water quality is not exactly inviting. Photos: https://www.christian-balla.de/duGa Video...
Tour: This canyon is divided into two parts: The first part is more or less an introductory descent, although the water movements can be very violent. This part is very aesthetic with a gulch that offers a view of the white snow of the Meije (great photo despite the backlight). The second part is technically more demanding with large abseils. Rating TD+ The whole thing starts with a 300 m hike. C 15 m (3 points (brooch, bolt + quickdraw, bolt)). Through large flow tree RD 2 waterfalls that de-escalate at low flow. At high flow there is 1 point each. After the 1st part, it is possible to ascend back to Chazelet. 2nd part: Waterfall 20 m, it is possible to make a small jump into the intermediate trough. The catch basin cannot be jumped over. Waterfall 30 m (2 bolts and 1 pin) : Beautiful waterfall with a pinched block that siphons at high flow. The descent is irrigated. In the event of large volumes of water, uninstalled drains must be provided to reach the unstable rock faces below. It is usually possible to jump into the catch basin. The next pool is skipped. Chaos with siphons. A 5 m waterfall on a crappy rope ring exposed to high water. 2 waterfalls with possible jumps. 1 point to descend must be checked. (10 m rappel). C15 m, Possible jump from 8 m into the broth with good attenuation (check beforehand). C25m: Waterfall toboggan. Caution: if there is a lot of water, there are terrible siphoning chokes in RG and RD (flat rock jutting out 10 m to reach the water). Large waterfall of 120 m: Difficult access to the relay. Plan equipment to get there in case of large amounts of water. There is a poorly visible RG spit to which we have added a quick link. The other points are jumped. Handrail from 10 meters to the relay. Relay big waterfall: (3 points: 1 pin, 2 RG pins). Possibility to descend all at once with 2x120 m (little friction), but full juice. If you do not rappel 60 m, descend on the left bank, pass the hump and head above water into a chute that you can downclimb. At the exit of this chute on the right is a relay with two pins and a chain. All the equipment is outdated, Nov. 2006. Commitment Watch out for water movement in the first part. Very engaged in the second part when water is present. History The first descent, and therefore the first equipment, was made by Pierre-Olivier Béal, who lives in Le Chazelet and runs the restaurant le Chalet des Plagnes in the same village. Remarks Beware, this canyon can be very dangerous. It is rarely accessible as the water is rarely low (at best in September and November). In addition, the bottom of the pools moves a lot, the water is black so you can't estimate the depth, and the rocks are slippery. All our comments are therefore relative, especially with regard to the jumps, which we advise against. Secondly, the equipment is badly damaged by the flooding. It is intended for descents at low water. We will give you some indications to estimate the amount of water. These are only suggestions. Your level should be sufficient to objectively assess whether the canyon is actually feasible. Best: If you watch the Pucelle jump, several clues can help you estimate the amount of water. At the exit of the waterfall, you should see two small, clearly recognizable jets of water around a rock. Likewise, you should be able to see through the rock without difficulty. Secondly, there should be no water packet hitting the RG. Finally, the base must be occupied by a thin veil of water divided into several nets. Maximum conditions: As long as you can see through the rock and no water packet is slapping against the left bank, it is possible to descend (also rare to find conditions).

Approach: Without shuttle bus: Leave your car at the parking lot on the valley side and walk up the small road to the Gaffe bridge, which crosses the torrent.
Tour: First there is a walking area with some de-escalations and abseils. This is followed by an indentation with some more or less watered abseils, which can be up to 25 m long. At the exit of the canyon, there is a walk with some de-escalations along a pipe that runs alongside the stream. Engagement Opportunities to get to safety outside the high water in some places where the embayment is missing. Escape routes are unclear or non-existent until the exit of the embayment (RD pipe). Time period/ water character The current can be considerable and some abseiling points are watered. In strong currents, two pools may have water movements that need to be managed. The last rappel is equipped high in RD and requires a climbing step, it is better to stay on the rope of the previous rappel to reach it. Historical overview 1956 Honnorat and Reynier

Approach: Take the path that leads up to the Refuges du Glacier Blanc and des Ecrins until it crosses the torrent with or without a footbridge.
Tour: The creek narrows very quickly and the watered waterfalls follow each other quickly with nice water passages. When you come out of the inlet, 2/3 of the way through the canyon, you have the choice of continuing in a more chaotic area (part 2) or crossing RD to reach a side gully and descending it (part 2b). Part 1: Almost a dozen abseils and very nice narrow sections. Part 2: A big block chaos with 5 or 6 abseils. Part 2b: well-formed chute (part already descended by one group, to be described for the next...). Strong effort in the first two 1/3. Possible escape at the exit of part 1 in the RD via a tributary. Time period/ water character Too much water during snowmelt and summer. Ice in winter, with the best season being fall before the big cold snaps. Above it is the largest south-facing glacier in the region. The amount of water can double from 8 to 12, even in the fall. Geology Complicated. Gneiss-like crystalline rocks, actually anatexites, disturbed by a bundle of N-S fractures that run through the Pic de Neige Cordier higher up. Historical background Already largely developed. Remarks Extremely slippery in the water, the rock is covered with lichen comparable to ice!!! Canyon in the Ecrins National Park. Light equipment (one point). Do not over-equip and remain discreet and environmentally friendly. Report: lolo and RV.

Access: In L'Argentière-la-Bessée, head towards Valorise, then Pelvoux, Ailefroide and finally Pré de Madame Carle, where you park (parking lot at the exit of the valley). Beware, the road closes in Ailefroide at the first big snowfall (and then closes in Pelvoux when the snow is lower), in which case you can forget about the canyon, as there are still miles of access road...).
Return: At the exit of the chaos you reach the glacier plain, then cross the path and reach the parking lot.

Cascades du Miroir: Canyon Start
2018-09-25: A very impressive canyon. It goes from one abseil directly to the next, usually about 40 meters.
Approach: Cross the river and follow the GR5, which climbs up the left bank and then turns right. It moves away and then returns to the left over rocky bars. At the fork (large boulder), take the left-hand path, which still climbs well. Soon (at 2000 m) leave it and follow a horizontal path (left) that quickly leads over a small hill and exits at the edge of a steep meadow. Walk diagonally down to our stream and then continue along the bank until you reach a small plain within sight of the 1st path.
Tour: A series of abseils in a beautiful mountain setting, offering a route whose height difference is greater than its length, which is quite rare. A first abseil (Lunula on the L bank) and a second (Relais on the R bank) lead to a flat spot from which you can escape. The next waterfall (C28) is approached via a small abseil on a large tree (not equipped), for a very small (thin line), so the abseil is almost water-free. 2. The final sequence (all relays are on the left bank), with no escape route, is as follows: C14, C14, C15, C38 (possible intermediate stop halfway). C32 leads to a level, from where you have to descend a little before crossing to the relay above the large beak. A small, easy climbing step leads there, do not re-equip the beak; it has jumped on its outer edge. C23 with relay always at right angles, well protected from the spray, on a lunula and a fairly thin line or 7-8 m further down on several planted anchors for ice climbing. Commitment The two slips at the start, then full commitment after the fourth admonition. Period/ water character To be done in late summer or fall. With good water conditions, you are practically above water, the watered passages are very short. However, you are often close to the water, in the form of spray. With large amounts of water, it's a different story... Mastery of this hostile environment, personal equipment, every maneuver must be executed efficiently and quickly... Geology Low quality limestone, beware of possible rockfalls. Historical background Lunula anchors and a little rope/cord, chain links, (at least) absolutely necessary for a route at the beginning of the season. Notes Some friction to be overcome if you simply descend. Be alert as it is quite easy to miss a relay in the big waterfall at the exit, so two 45 ropes may be very welcome. The suggested time of 3 hours can vary greatly depending on water levels, number of participants etc.

2018-09-25: A very impressive canyon. It goes from one abseil directly to the next, usually about 40 meters.
Access: From Guillestre in the direction of Ceillac, it is always signposted. Do not drive into the village, but straight on to the ski lifts. Ideally, you should park in the large parking lot about 250 m from the lift, opposite the pedestrian bridge.
Return: Descend along the left bank and then follow the GR that you took on the way there.

Approach: From the parking lot, take the path that goes up the Onde on the RD. After about 400 m, the path becomes a dirt road (at a bridge), continue on the right-hand path. About 400 m further on, the track crosses the La Pissette footbridge. Immediately after the bridge, take the path (signs cascade de la pissette) that goes up to the right. You will soon reach the lower part of the waterfall and follow the path up to the right. After rising above the waterfall, leave the path and walk along the small canyon. Enter the canyon at the beginning of the indentation.
Tour: 3 small ledges before you reach the C20 in a chute. Commitment Very short canyon with little commitment. Period/ water character Water all year round, sometimes too much in spring and icy in winter. History Used by glacier skiers as an introduction in winter. Remarks Canyon without equipment, you have to make do with the AN.

Approach: Shuttle bus option: Continue along the path and then take the path on the left towards "Champaussel", the path leads down to the watercourse. Option without shuttle bus: From the RG parking lot, follow the path towards ESE for about 100 m, turn left towards the canyon and go around a house on the right. About 100 m after the house, leave the slope and take the path that branches off to the right (cairn, alt. 940m). You reach the canyon, alt. 1050m, and go right (do not go left into the canyon, where the passages are exposed). Long descending traverse until you reach a clear junction on the left (tackle the ascent between the climbing sectors on a very good path). You will reach the hamlet of "Guions", the exit of the approach is identical to the shuttle bus option.
Tour: The descent begins with a 15-minute walk through the watercourse, then comes the C38. This is followed by C14 RG, C12 RD in a nice basin with a jammed block (not very deep, you're good on foot), then C12 over the jammed block with a deflection. Then C18, C15, C13. Commitment Once past the first waterfall, it is impossible to get out of this descent without taking a real risk. The story First known descent: Michèle VINCENS and the mountain guides Francis ELICHABE and Henri VINCENS before 1990. Remarks The equipment is in order. Facing south-west, little sun (best to set off after 12 noon to benefit from the exposure). Often impassable until mid-June due to the water level. If you leave the vehicle downstream, you can easily assess the water level.

Tour: At the height of the footbridge, you overcome a first jump of 2 m. After a short hike, you reach a 4 m long de-escalation that leads you to the first 20 m long waterfall. Arrive in a beautiful pool that immediately opens up into a C. 23 (another beautiful pool). After two 4 m long ledges you reach the last C.17. Engagement A short canyon, but already very committed at the first waterfall. The rock is slippery and the relays are not designed for more than 5 people. Period/water character The water is cool all year round. In winter this canyon is often icy and the water level is high all year round. Notes Full EAST exposure under the canopy of larch trees. No visual contact in the rappels. The gear is very good, paired with lunulae.

Torrent de la Valette : Canyon Start
2017-09-24: Video (from minute 5:15): https://youtu.be/fRSZPXlqXUY?si=2rAjobZlPSwIREtI&t=315
Approach: From the bridge over the Guil, follow the well-marked path (signpost to Furfande) that goes uphill until you come to a road after about 40 minutes. Follow it to the right until its exit (parking lot for the shuttle bus) and then continue on the wide path that goes downhill until it crosses the river, at the level of the remains of the bridge that was swept away by a flood a few years ago.
Tour: Some waterfalls, interspersed with hikes in a wild environment and a beautiful mountain atmosphere. Commitment Strong, there are virtually no loopholes. Period/ water character To be done at the time of snowmelt to take advantage of a good water flow, or after a rainy period. The water level is visible at the arrival of the torrent. May - July History 1st descent and equipment: Corinne and Max Imbert Comments The descent would be more interesting if there weren't so many steps between the obstacles and especially the beautiful waterfalls at the exit. There is almost no water in August. The canyon is hardly ever used and the equipment regularly suffers from high water and rockfall.

Cetina: Canyon Start
Approach: A path starts at the steel manhole cover and leads to the last lake in 5 minutes.
Tour: Go up this huge cauldron and leave it at a right angle (be careful, you are upside down) at a scree slope. Take the path up and continue 20 m further up. From here, admire the hanging pool on the right and especially the huge siphon on the left, which collects all the water from the river, even though it carries a lot of water. The tormented rock offers numerous shapes. From the points, it is possible to install a handrail to take advantage of the balconies that offer jumps from different heights after the usual checks. Caution Avoid descending to the dry spillway for fun. If you slip, you will be crushed in the pool. Always keep at a right angle, reach the river via the rocks and head upstream. This part of the hike over the boulders can be tiring. Be careful not to slip. You quickly reach the second point of interest, the Cubavica waterfall. It consists of two parts, a 35 m long first waterfall and a 13 m long second waterfall. The atmosphere is impressive. Once the MC RD is installed, you can climb up to the second pool. Jumps are also possible here after the usual checks. Access further up is through an RG tunnel, which is difficult to reach. It can be found at the exit of a scree slope that begins 100 m below the Cubavica waterfall. In addition to the darkness, you may encounter accompanied groups, which can make the crossing more difficult. For the way back, go back the way you came. Commitment Strong. There is no escape. Time period/ water character Be careful, the flow speed is always enormous. Take a professional with you if you want to walk it without risk. There are no abseiling points in the waterfalls. Everything can be bypassed through tunnels. However, you can take advantage of some of the pools. You can also climb back up from the bottom! Notes Dangerous water flow! This canyon can only be tackled in an out-and-back route

Vrajzi Prolav: Canyon End
Return: Go back to the path you created

Vrajzi Prolav: Canyon Start
Approach: You have to pay a fee at the guesthouse. The complex is divided into two parts. The first is Vrajzi Prolav, which you climb up via a footbridge. If you continue to the exit, you will reach a cave that you can climb up until the water becomes too much. For the waterfall (Vodopad), also go up the path that starts to the left of the inn. You can get all the way to the top RD (no equipment). Admire the resurgence gushing at its feet.
Tour: The most interesting part is after the second bridge with an 8 m high waterfall. At this height, the river is well contained and forms some jumps, which can be playful in deep pools. After this indentation, there are no more interesting obstacles. Engagement Repetitions throughout. Period/ water character Beware of high water.

Aua da Cavrein: Canyon Start
Comment: Start wie beschrieben in Swiss Alps Canyoning V2
Approach: Cross the Aua da Cavrein stream and hike up on the RG hiking trail until you cross the Aua da Cavrein a second time (altitude 1775 m). Either start just above the bridge or continue for 5 minutes to find an unexplored part that we missed when the canyon opened.
Tour: As there is always a high water level in Val Cavrein, it is more of a water gorge with some challenging and impressive-looking abseils. Several exits are possible. The exit offers some very beautiful abseils... Less interesting at the top, best to start at the main entrance.

2023-05-12: Other canyons were not accessible due to heavy rain. This waterfall had the perfect amount of water thanks to the rain. For information about the canyon, see https://www.christian-balla.de/Fortogna Vi...
Approach: A hiking trail leads up to the canyon
Tour: Starts with a multi-pitch consisting of a short rappel that is drilled very deep and a medium-high rappel (right around the corner) Short run, then short rappel from the tree. It is recommended to use a sling/carabiner at the edge. Rope traverse to the ~70, which has one between. Short run, rappel from the tree. Some downclimbs and another C15 lead to the final waterfall, for which there is a rope railing point and 2 belays. The belay behind the edge has a better rope run than the upper chain - using the front chain extends the rope requirement to approx. 85 meters!!! Finally, 10 meters of rope traverse and 25m of rappel on a sharp edge.

2023-01-18: Very short abseil canyon with only one key section
Approach: Follow the hiking trail in the direction of Calhau da Lapa. This hiking trail leads along the "Ribeira do Campanário" stream
Tour: From the railing, rappel into the canyon. This is followed by a 15-meter-high rappel, shortly afterwards the technically complex 90-meter waterfall on the left bank, consisting of a short feeder and the initially free-hanging C90. The extremely exposed abseil stand is very far ahead and can only be reached via another short abseil point and a lot of skill or experience. The rope course is free-hanging over a long stretch and therefore very gentle on the rope. Initially you are next to the waterfall, but you get closer and closer to the water or the spray until you finally find yourself in the middle of the waterfall. As the canyon is very short, we did another round immediately afterwards. Below the C90, we walked through the riverbed to Calhau da Lapa.

Approach: The access first follows a forest road slightly uphill (there is a small construction company on the right). Then follow the track downhill and always straight ahead, the track becomes narrower and becomes a path, follow this downhill until you reach a levada, which is initially covered by concrete slabs. Now continue to the right, a little later over a narrow green bridge and continue to follow the levada until you reach the stream.
Tour: Some low abseiling points and a nice slide. Be careful, there were several sprained feet on this slide in the 2023 season!

Approach: From Ribeira Funda it is a short, easy to find hiking trail to the canyon of the same name. Get in at Funda or alternatively follow the path to Terra d'Alem, which flows into Funda.
Tour: It begins with a downclimb, a small rappel and a short run. This is followed by the 60 meter high waterfall, for which there are anchor points on both the right and left banks. The anchors for the right-bank feeder to the C60 belay are very far back. Below the C60, the canyon is deeply incised, at the following C8 it becomes almost dark. This is followed by several small to medium rappels, a maximum of two jumpable. The C22 at the end is another beautiful waterfall.

2025-04-20: I can't share the opinion about the glued U-hooks. They look like something from a DIY store or homemade. I cannot estimate how deep they are drilled or whether a thread or similar measures are provid...
Approach: By car: Walk up the Vereda das Furnas stairway, which offers a great first impression of the waterfalls. When the path flattens out, stay on it for a few more minutes until a small path between a wooden telephone pole and a steel electricity pylon leads down into the cultivated fields. Orientation is somewhat difficult here, depending on the path you choose, you will end up more or less high up in the stream. Ideally, you should start the tour under a large tree with a small downclimb a few meters before the first rappel. (60 min) With two cars: Walk a few meters further towards the village and then descend the stairway and follow it along the houses. Shortly after the last houses are behind you, a small path branches off sharply down to the left between a wooden telephone pole and a steel electricity pylon. See above for the rest. (25 min)
Tour: It doesn't start very spectacularly with a few small abseils. After the 4th anchor, we find ourselves in a beautiful, deep canyon. At the 8th anchor, the character of the canyon changes again massively: the canyon opens up significantly and we find ourselves in the 85-metre-high cascade of Furnas Canyon. This is rappelled in two lengths. There is limited space for 3 to 4 people at the intermediate belay station. This is followed by a 50 meter waterfall (10m + 40m, there is just enough uncomfortable space for people at the intermediate stand) and a 20 meter waterfall. A little further through the undergrowth and you can see the back of the church.

Return: When you reach the sea, turn orographic right (the sea will be on your left). If the high tide cuts off the path at a rock ledge, you can climb it. There is an anchor at the top to rappel down the other side. After a good 15 minutes over rough scree, you can climb 2 to 3 meters up a bad staircase of boulders on the right. Follow the path at the top until it joins a paved road. Now turn left and walk to the valley station of the cable car (45 min). Take this to the top. Pay attention to the travel times. If the cable car does not run (wind, too late, defective), you can climb 200 meters northeast of the cable car via the Vereda do Calhau to the top station. The path initially leads up steep steps through the Ribeira do Tristao canyon. Keep right at the fork. (450 m, 75 min).

There is an anchor at the top to rappel down the other side. After a good 15 minutes over rough scree, you can climb 2 to 3 meters up a bad staircase of boulders on the right. Follow the path at the top until it joins a paved road. Now turn left and walk to the valley station of the cable car (45 min). Take this to the top. Pay attention to the travel times. If the cable car does not run (wind, too late, defective), you can climb 200 meters northeast of the cable car via the Vereda do Calhau to the top station. The path initially leads up steep steps through the Ribeira do Tristao canyon. Keep right at the fork. (450 m, 75 min).

Rio Blanco: Canyon Start
Approach: After a 20-minute hike, you reach the starting point for the descent. It's a little uphill, but the surroundings in the middle of the forest are worth the effort.
Tour: Everything you would expect from a canyon can be found here: Jumps (from 4 to 14 meters), slides, rappels. The whole thing is very playful and aquatic. Commitment Open canyon, numerous retreat options. The rappel at the exit is equipped. Period/ water character Very watery, never dry. Best time from November to March due to the mild temperatures. Geology On the slopes of the Calbuco volcano. History 2003 equipped Remarks Amateurs aged 5 to 65 and a dog descended. All in all, a very easy canyon: nothing is compulsory, but there are plenty of options for those who love a thrill.

Mondelli (superiore): Canyon Start
2025-08-23: Very nice parts. The first long rappel (2nd rappel) is almost 60m. Anchors at the belays are made of chain links (see photos). But all still look good (nut was sometimes to tighten) and the rope (9mm)...
2025-08-09: Everything tip top. Wolfgang's times fit well. Mega tour.
2025-08-08: Most stands are small chain links bolted on with body washers. Slim carabiners and thin ropes are an advantage. Super grippy and beautiful.
Comment: Canyon Start 1540m
Approach: First take the same hiking trail as for the entry to Mondelli 2 (intermedio), but at the fork at the "Cascata" signs, continue right towards Alpe Corteveccio. Approximately at the highest house in Corteveccio, keep left and cross the open area on a small path. The path runs over a small, steep ridge past grazing cattle. Cross a short marshy area and enter the open streambed of the Rio Mondelli at approx. 1540m.
Tour: Pretty much at the start, an open diagonal rappel about 50m long at the start, where we didn't find an intermediate belay. A few aquatic rappels and a perfect slide follow before you come to the last rappel via a huge garnit slab with washouts, from which you can see the bridge at the entry of Mondelli 2.

Approach: Follow the forest road upwards. Exit the first hairpin bend and stay on the lower road at the next bend. Continue to a clearing with a hunting lodge and private signs. Here it is best to stay on the upper forest road for a while and then descend to the forest path below without a path and at a respectful distance from the hunting lodge. Follow this forest path to Koglbach (last path). Alternatively, you can stay on the upper forest road and continue along it to the Koglbach stream. Then 10min downclimb in the streambed.
Tour: Descend briefly in the streambed until a low forest gorge forms, downclimb 3m here (fallen trees) and in the gorge to the edge. Either rappel 33m from the chain on the right or 8m to a small pool and rappel another 25m from glued anchors on the right. Downclimb into an eroded rock basin and rappel 25m and 14m with two more chain anchors. An anchor is broken at the first chain anchor.

Tour: Rappel canyon with mostly old stands; partly thin chain links as is "usual" here. The anchors are sometimes rather unfortunate; (pull-off problems!!) In the canyon there are old mining tunnels (gold mining). Especially the 2nd entrance (rather in the lower third on the right side) is worth a visit (headlamp!!) You can easily walk around in the tunnel for 30 minutes. Rather cool tour, so ideal when it is too hot everywhere else

Approach: Follow the E5 in the direction of Memminger Hütte to the "Schmidlerskreuz" at approx. 1520m. From there descend pathless to Lochbach.
Tour: The first approx. 2km/300m are pure block climbing (river walk), only then does the actual canyon with its 10 abseiling points begin.

Return: After the fountain, turn left up to the powerhouse, past it along the asphalt road to the highway gallery. Immediately after this, turn left at the fence onto the path along the meadow, at the exit of the meadow at the signpost in the direction of Zams on the asphalt road back to the parking lot.

Cròsa (Calnègia Sup): Canyon End

Cròsa: Canyon Start
Approach: Cross the riverbed and start walking on the hiking trail until you reach the point 1305m. From here, turn right or left (both paths take about the same time) and walk either through the tunnel or up the steep hill until you reach the plateau where the impressive waterfall begins. There are several good points to look into the canyon. Start where the canyon almost meets the trail, at an altitude of about 1720m.
Tour: Nice shaped but rather flat upper part with some jumps and slides until you reach the big waterfall. The 118m free hanging waterfall requires good technique to reach the anchor and manage the rope work. The waterfall itself is really nice to rappel down. The rope and your feet don't touch the rock anywhere until you reach the bottom. The waterfall creates nice rain showers when the sun is shining. The part after the big waterfall is not as nice and continuous, but it contains some nice sculpted marble rocks.

Cròsa: Canyon End
Return: Step out at an altitude of 1370 m, where you can see the corner of the road.

Cròsa: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Drive up the Maggia valley, past Bignasco and Broglio. In Peccia, turn left and continue on the road towards Gheiba until the exit (barrier). Park here.

Lettenbach: Canyon Start
2024-06-22: We could not find any W-rings. Rappels on trees possible. Lots of wood in the stream.
2023-10-08: All hooks ok, same amount of wood as always :-)
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the mountain road (Lohhäuselweg) in the direction of Gasthaus Fageralm/Entrudisalm. After approx. 150m (in the first bend on the right) you can take a shortcut through the forest and come back to the road a little further up. At the next fork in the road, continue left towards Höhenwald. Now follow the road without any difference in altitude to the bridge over the Lettenbach.
Tour: Who would expect a short canyoning tour near the city of Salzburg? The Lettenbach is a nice little forest canyon which, after enough rain, offers a short tour for canyoneers who only have a short time. All steps have been drilled with W-rings. However, most of the steps can also be slid, jumped or downclimbed after checking the water depth. The highest compulsory abseil point is 15m high. The conglomerate rock in the water channel is very grippy, but the surrounding area is very slippery. Without the wooden obstructions, the tour would certainly be suitable for children. After about an hour, you reach the hiking trail of the Glasenbachklamm gorge. This is where the Lettenbach flows into the Klausbach.

2024-09-25: Beautiful canyon with clear water.
Approach: You can either take a second car to Sumvitg or walk for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, there is also an "alpine bus" that runs from Surrein to Sumvitg for 15 per person. There are various options for the start, depending on how much you like walking or how long you want the tour to be. 1. access According to Swiss Alps Canyoning Vol. 2 2nd access A little further up via a path down to a bridge. 3rd access Over the side river Acla Mulin.
Tour: There are always crystal-clear pools, some of which invite you to jump and slide. If you have an eye for jumps, you will find some up to 15 meters. Only the first 22-metre rappel is compulsory, the rest can also be jumped (after checking the pools). The canyon exits at the last pool, a slide with a 2-metre drop, and you walk another hour or so to the car through some really beautiful scenery.

There, a path branches off to the right down to the access bridge. Entry to the canyon is either directly from the bridge by rappel or a few meters upstream over the side down into the streambed.
Tour: The tour is hardly vertical (only at the end when the lake is empty), but offers varied and fun jumps between 2 and 10 meters as well as one or the other slide, which can also be done several times. Attention: In the pool under the slide T25 (according to Swiss Alps Canyoning Vol. 2) there are already rocks about 0.5 meters below the water surface. These are not loose blocks, but solid ground.

2022-10-22: The original description is based on this walk-through. The anchorage evaluation refers to the condition after the walk-through.
Approach: Follow the road through the tunnel up to the dam wall. Cross the dam wall and pass through the tunnel on the north side. After a short time you will reach a ladder where the ascent begins. Follow the path until you come to a technical building with a ladder and some kind of measuring apparatus at an altitude of approx. 2340 m above sea level. Turn left (NW) here. The rest of the trail is not marked on the Swisstopo, but on OSM maps. However, it is relatively obvious and partly secured with steel chains. At an altitude of approx. 2720m, the path branches off to the entry.
Tour: The water from the glacier is extremely cold and ice must always be expected. Also with icefall on the high rappel. After the first part, there is a heavily cut passage that offers no escape route for some time. An ascent should therefore only be made by very experienced teams who can move quickly in these conditions. Depending on the amount of ice, it may be necessary to set a large number of additional anchors or to set appropriate belays in the ice. The lower half of the canyon is gripped. It is therefore essential to obtain information from the operator or to wait until the canyon is closed in mid-October before attempting the route. Rope requirements: The highest waterfall has a height of approx. 90m and 4 stands (approx. 20m, approx. 25m, approx. 50m, approx. 15m (please adjust if exact values are known)). The lower two stands may not be usable depending on the water level and icing. An 85m rope is required to rope through from the second stand. If the water level is low and there is little ice, a 60m rope is sufficient.

Otherwise there is a parking possibility at Bonatchiesse at an altitude of approx. 1580m (registered coordinate). It is then advisable to use e-bikes or normal bicycles to get to the dam wall 5.3km/420m.

Approach: We start east of the bridge over the Neidernach, which flows into the Loisach a few meters below. We take the forest road on the orographic left bank of the Neidernach and hike upstream, past a field chapel. We cross the Nudelgraben and the Sunkenlaine. 1000m after the start of the path and 140m after crossing the Sunkenlaine, we turn right onto rough vehicle tracks in the mire (two small signposts without inscriptions on trees in diametrical directions). We follow the "path", which later becomes a path, uphill. At 950 m above sea level, the path branches off. Turn left (signposted "Schellalm"-"251") and in a few meters you reach the footbridge over the Schellaine. For entry, from the 3rd leftward haipin bend, we carefully rappel from tree to tree over into the streambed.
Tour: Smaller rappels, several downclimbs over deadwood.

Access: To Saint-Benoit, then to L'Abondance. Takamaka is signposted. A well asphalted but very winding road leads to the SW, follow it to the exit. There is a parking lot.
Return: Approx. 200-300m after the viewing platform is the exit on the left (no markings). But you can see footprints or the cut-out path up. There is some climbing involved and no slipping is allowed in places as it is very exposed. Then it turns into a nice path until you reach the grand finale, where you looked down in the morning at the viewing platform. There are 1236 steps that have to be climbed to get to the car. How long this exit will be tolerated is questionable. But it is currently the only sensible option. If anyone is there or working, please make yourself heard politely.

Takamaka 3: Canyon Start
2023-10-01: Great canyon. All rappels next to the water jet. Way back requires full concentration at the beginning.
Approach: Continue along the road and you will come to the viewpoint at the power station, which is also the final point on the way back if you look down. The road becomes a path and you follow it to the first junction. The path descends steeply for a short while, then flattens out and you cross a few waterfalls. Continue along the water pipe until you reach a rope insurance. At a signs down to the dam.
Tour: It is best to change at the dam. Then pass to the left and cross the stream and go to the edge (between the trees). The first rappel on the tree through the bushes (belay available). Be careful when pulling off the rope. Leave the pool and go ortographic left to the next abseil. There is the first rappel C12 left, which takes you to the exposed belay C55 left. Rappel onto a ledge from there C50 left to the ground (several belays available). Bypass the large pool on the left and cross the stream to the next edge. C10 to the intermediate belay and from there either C80 right next to the water jet or with intermediate belay after about 20 meters. Then a nice jump and block hopping. You pass a high waterfall with a little house at the top. Then another 30 minutes or so until an old viewing platform appears ortographic left.

2024-12-29: Stands including rope protectors in good condition. For the first part of the canyon you don't need to put on the neoprene (dry until after the second long walking passages). For the exit: as soon as...
2023-10-02: Little water. All stands tip top. A highlight with a very demanding way back. Be sure to save energy for the exit. One of the top gorges on the island.
Access: Drive to Plaine de Palmistes and take the road heading north-west. Park approx. 50 m before the bridge that crosses the Takamaka stream. This is the same road as towards trou de fer.
Return: This is probably the most challenging part of the tour. Climbing at least 3rd degree is required on the way back. Some of the footholds are cut into the vertical walls. The holds are mostly natural roots, some with footholds. Absolute surefootedness required. There are always very good anchors. The way back is marked with small signs (blue and white with inscription). These are there almost to the end. Watch out for beehives on the way back. Then forest road to the asphalt road.

Approach: At the bridge down to the stream.
Tour: Just after the bridge is the first high free-hanging C70. There are several abseil stands. The most beautiful is from the hanging stand ortographic to the right of the edge, which has to be climbed or traversed for about 10 meters. Very challenging to reach. Can be secured well from one of the belays. Then long boulder terrain to C130, which is divided 4 times ortographic left. After that some really nice single pitches. The mini trou de fer passage is certainly one of the most beautiful spots in the area. Jumps, slides and high rappels with challenging rope traverses. A great canyon. Certainly a highlight.

2025-05-23: Nice little tour with rather little water. An anchor for higher water pressure is missing in one or two places.
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the hiking trail signposted Alpgartensteig, which after a short time leads to the Wappbach stream and a metal bridge (exit). From the metal bridge, you can either hike up the orographic left or right path next to the stream (Alpgarten circular trail) as both paths lead about the same distance to the upper metal bridge (entry).
Tour: The Wappbach is the lower course of the Alpgartenbach and is located on the German side where canyoning is officially prohibited (the Alpgartenbach itself is unfortunately not interesting). The canyon is ideal for a short morning or afternoon tour and is also suitable for beginners or children. Immediately after the metal bridge at the entry point, there are two small slides and one of the two highest abseiling points (C15) in a narrow passage. This is followed by a small step and a longer open walking passage before the canyon narrows again. In the next part, there are several small steps that can be rappelled, slid or downclimbed. The next higher rappel (C10) can alternatively be dry rappelled on the left. Now follows the most beautiful part of the tour, a longer parts with the second 15m high abseil in the watercourse that goes 90° around the bends, beautiful washouts and some small slides. After another open walking passage, there is a casual abseil (C10) with a shower under a clamping block and the last incised gorge section where there are still many small slides and abseils. Towards the bottom, the canyon opens up more and more and you reach the lower metal bridge where you can decide whether you want to get out or overcome the last abseil. Attention! In one of the last pools where you can slide (approx. 100m before the bridge) there is a piece of metal (Oct.2023).

Access: From Salzburg West via the Walserberg Bundesstraße to the turn-off on the left towards Großgmain (alternatively, you can also drive to Großgmain via Salzburg Süd-Grödig-Fürstenbrunn. Then continue on the Großgmainer Landesstraße to the village of Großgmain, Bayerisch Gmain (state border). Immediately after the border, continue left until you reach Bundesstraße 20, turn right here and after approx. 200m turn left (signposted Bahnhof/Wanderzentrum). From here, follow the road with the signs to the Bayerisch Gmain hiking center. There is a paid parking lot at the exit of the dead end (3h/€3,-).
Return: Either before or after the metal bridge (last abseiling point) get off to the right and follow the hiking trail to the parking lot.

Val de le Prese: Parking at Exit
2021-09-08: Got in too early, which meant two abseils in the steep forest. Beautiful gorge, but I would only do it again with a water passage.
Comment: Gleicher Parkplatz wie Rui Einstieg
Access: Parking exit: From Belluno on the SP 1 over the Piave in a south-westerly direction, past Limana and Trichiana to Mel (16.5 km). Drive through Mel and continue for 1.8 km on the SP 1 towards Feltre. Then turn left to Villa di Villa and on to Tiago. At the end of Tiago, take the narrow road to the right (Rui - Colade). Follow this road for approx. 3 km. Park at a water basin on the left. You may also be able to park further ahead, near a bridge over the Rui. Parking entry: Back to Tiago and before the village turn right downhill towards Castello di Zumelle. Before you reach the Castello, turn right onto Via Nabie towards Val Maor. Stay on the sand road until you come to an asphalt road again, here turn right towards Praderadego. Follow this road for about 3 km until an asphalt road on the left leads to a small parking lot.
Return: After the canyon opens up, walk through the streambed for about 25 minutes, then descend on a forest road on the left. If the forest road runs along the streambed, it is best to stay in the streambed (farm on the right) until you reach a bridge. Follow the sand road downstream to the parking lot

Approach: Just above the crossroads, a forest road begins that crosses into the Val de le Prese. Follow this road to its exit and descend without a path to the right to the streambed. Do not descend too soon, the stream is deeper than it appears from above.
Tour: Long, narrow corridor in the layered limestone. Even in dry months, there are pools in the lower third that you probably won't be able to spread out. At the highest waterfall, the abseil bolt is on the right behind the edge.

Access: Option A: Coming from Innsbruck, take the A12 highway towards Bregenz and take the Mils/Schönwies exit. Then follow the B171 and immediately after the second Inn bridge turn right onto the Milser Landesstraße. After a few meters, take the first turn-off to the left (Bichlifelder) and then immediately turn right again. Now follow the road (along the edge of the forest) to the Starkenbach forest chapel. You can park on the right just before the chapel. Option B: Coming from Innsbruck, take the A12 highway towards Bregenz and take the Mils/Schönwies exit. Then follow the B171 and after 1.6 km turn right into Milser Landstraße. After another 1.6 km, park at the depot on the side of the road without obstructing the exit.
Return: Variant A: After the last rappel, follow the stream to the water tap, downclimb here, shortly afterwards a faintly recognizable path leads up to the left. Then follow the path down to the Milser Landesstraße and turn right back to the parking lot (20 min, 1.26 km). Option B: After the last rappel, follow the stream to the water tap, downclimb here, shortly afterwards a faintly recognizable path leads up to the left. Then follow the path down to the Milser Landesstraße and turn left to the car (15 min, 1 km).

Approach: Option A: Follow the panorama trail until it crosses the stream at approx. 1100 m (75 min, 390 m elevation gain, 80 m elevation loss, 2.74 km). Option B: A slope starts directly west of the depot and leads to the Panorama Trail. Follow this. At 990m, this leads very close to the Fallender Bach, where there is a narrow path that leads directly to the high final waterfall (40 min, 250m elevation gain, 1.14 km). If you want to start at the well-known entry point, follow the panorama trail another 100 m up to 1090 m (50 min, 350 m, 1.45 km). Here the path crosses the stream.
Tour: At the beginning, several smaller rappels and walking passages follow each other. The main part is certainly the 215m high waterfall at the exit. It is rappelled via a total of 4 intermediate stands. The first belaystation is orographic on the right, all other belaystations are orographic on the left.

Approach: Make your way to the start directly below the hamlet of Agro.
Tour: 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.

Approach: From the upper parking lot, walk another 100 m along the road. The hiking trail then turns off to the left. Follow it until it crosses the stream.
Tour: From the entry point, the route first leads through an open, wide streambed. Here you rappel from trees. After about 1/3 the stream narrows and a series of 8 to 9 smaller rappels follow. When you reach the high waterfall, the first anchor is on the left. From here, descend about 70m to the next edge. Directly at the edge is the next belay on the right. From here down about 75m. There is the 3rd anchor directly in the fall line. From here another 30m to the large plateau. From the plateau there are 3 more rappels on the right edge: 20m, 50m and 35m.

2024-09-15: The first 4 rappels, where the canyon is still very open, were all abseiled from the tree. We then had to set 2 new anchors in the narrow part, as the old ones had been destroyed by the floods in June...
Access: Take the country road between Soazza and Lostallo and park directly on the road about 500 m to the north, where the stream crosses the road. Take the second car to Soazza, drive up through the village and back up the narrow paved mountain road. At the coordinates of the upper parking lot, a maximum of 3 cars can park on the meadows in the hairpin bends.
Return: From the last rappel, keep right and you will come to a path. Follow this to the road. Then head north towards the cars.

2024-11-04: Good anchors; first C8 after the 100m walk is one very difficult to reach bolt, but there is alternative natural anchor on the right side. Foto: normal water level at the start of the canyon.
2024-11-03: Normal water level for Sefi. Great canyon. Superiore conditions at the moment. We started in Mürren and walked down to the Stechelberg gondola at the end.
2024-11-02: Beautiful alpine canyon. All the pools are filled with gravel. We started from Gimmelwald. Most of the abseils are in good condition. Very aquatic. The rappels lead through waterfalls. 3 people around...
Return: The way back is also very long.

2024-07-21: Better grip than expected. Very nice stream for beginners or after rain. At the very end, a few meters before the exit, sewage is introduced. Anchors all in good condition.
Comment: Start Inferiore
Approach: Entry Holzi at 920HM Depart from the bridge (moor at the bridge).
Tour: A series of medium-high waterfalls on the first part of the trail, followed by a section consisting mainly of walking through garbage. The exit can be made to the left once the guardrail of the road is visible, but it is easier to take the exit to the right shortly after. Canyon spoiled by the ugly final step. Not very playful to master. Equipment on Expansion Mono Point.

Return: Follow the road to the car.

Treccio: Waterlevel Checkpoint
Hydrology: Difficult evasion options. Easy exposure to high water. Can also be used after extreme rainfall. Carried out at high water, beginners should not be taken along. All waterfalls can be easily bypassed (with a rope). The first waterfall is the only one that could be problematic when descending in the axis (large basin with water backflow). The C30, which looks like a chute from above, goes by (possibility to use the RD trees to bypass it). A jump at the foot of the C30 from 5 m would be conceivable (after probing).

Trümmelbach I: Canyon Start
2025-08-23: If you like alpine canyons, this is certainly one of the best. Very grippy, generally superiore conditions
Approach: From the parking lot to the train station and take the train to Kleine Scheidegg station and continue by train to the Eiger Glacier. Since the exit of 2020, it has been possible to take the Eiger Express from Grindelwald, which takes you directly to the Eiger Glacier station in 15 minutes. From the Eiger Glacier station, you continue hiking up on a blue and white marked trail, which initially runs along the railroad line. The path is exposed in some places, but there are fixed hand lines to help you over the steep parts. Continue along the path to an altitude of 2680m, from where you can begin the traverse to the right through the loose rock field to the start of the canyon.
Tour: The canyon is more of a mini-canyon in terms of depth and width, especially at the beginning. The water has ditched a very narrow and small slot towards the first abseiling points. After the first waterfalls, the canyon continues in beautifully polished rock and gets deeper and deeper. There are always some steep downclimbs, but this is not a problem with the enormously grippy rocks. The canyon with its beautiful views and surroundings is a great adventure. At the exit, the route continues directly in front of the ice field and it is recommended to include Trümmelbach Il in the same tour, as this combination works excellently. If Trümmelbach Il is to be appended, you can enter the same stream after bypassing the snow/ice field and do some nice downclimbs and slides until you reach the start of Trümmelbach II. Caution: the plates on the rakes are often missing, even if someone has been in there shortly before. Better take a few plates and M10 nuts and washers in SS316 with you.

Return: If you only do Trümmelbach I, then leave the path at the snow/ice field to the right and traverse to Eigergletscher station, which is more or less at the same altitude. If you add Trümmelbach Il, you can either hike up from the exit of the canyon to the Eigergletscher station or hike down to Wengernalp to catch the next train.

Gorga: Canyon Start
Approach: Zum Bach hinuntergehen. Gleich kommt der erste große Wasserfall.
Tour: Sehr kurze, einzigartige Kletterroute in diesem Gebiet, nahe am Meer. Ein wenig Reibungsmanagement (!) und zwei mögliche Routen nach dem ersten großen Wasserfall: trocken im Sommer oder aktiv in Zeiten mit viel Wasser. Für eine Passage im aktiven Bereich bei minimalem Durchfluss (Ausrüstung auf Bolzen und AN) Hindernis Nr. 1: R 40 m Hindernis Nr. 2: R 25 m (Umleitung) Hindernis Nr. 3: R 14 m (Höhlenstart unter Felsblöcken, AN) Hindernis Nr. 4: R 20 m (in einem Kamin und an einem Spinnennetz) Hindernis Nr. 5: R 22 m (leicht treppenförmige Schräge, Monopoint) Hindernis Nr. 6: R2-3 m (optional, Monopoint) Für eine Trockenpassage (Ausrüstung auf Stiften und chemischer Verankerung) Hindernis Nr. 1: R 36 m (Erreichen des Felsvorsprungs oder der Terrasse, ohne ins Wasser zu gehen) Hindernis Nr. 2: MC 10 m + R 12 m + R 20 m Hindernis Nr. 3: R 20 m (Vorsicht beim Abseilen über einer Spalte und einer Höhle) Hindernis Nr. 4: R 25 m (Abseilen ebenfalls etwas heikel, am Ende eine Spalte und ein überhängender Abschnitt) Hindernis Nr. 5: R 22 m (leicht treppenförmige Steigung, Einpunktsicherung im aktiven Teil oder umgehbar) Hindernis Nr. 6: R 2-3 m (optional, Einpunktsicherung im aktiven Teil)

Gorga: Canyon End
Return: Ohne Shuttle: Nach dem 5. Abseilpunkt (auf einer leicht treppenartigen Steigung) 5 Minuten im Fluss laufen, einen Mühlgraben überqueren, dann möglichst im Zickzack den teilweise steilen Hang hinaufsteigen und über die ehemaligen Terrassenfelder zum Straßenrand gelangen. Entlang der Straße laufen, um zum Ausgangspunkt zurückzukehren. Vorsicht! Mit Shuttle: Nach dem 5. Abseilmanöver (auf einer leicht treppenartigen Steigung) dem Flusslauf etwa 15 Minuten lang folgen (einige flache Flussläufe und ein 2 m hoher Wasserfall mit einem Einpunkt-Sicherungssystem), bis Sie einen Nebenfluss auf der rechten Seite erreichen. Nehmen Sie hier einen Weg, der immer auf der rechten Seite des Flusses entlangführt. Sie kommen zu einigen Grundstücken, nehmen den Pfad, der zum Weg führt, gehen den Weg entlang und überqueren die Furt, um wieder auf die rechte Uferseite zu gelangen, und gehen dann hinauf zum alten Auto. So vermeiden Sie insbesondere, entlang der Straße zu laufen.

Gorga: Unknown Parking
Access: Am Ortseingang von Puerto de la Selva (El Port de la Selva) nehmen Sie die Straße GI-613, die nach Cadaqués hinaufführt. Kurz vor dem Kreisverkehr, der die GI-613 mit der GI-614 verbindet, kann man die Schlucht von der Straße aus sehen. Parken Sie nach einer Kurve in einem felsigen Gebiet am Straßenrand. Der Ausgangspunkt befindet sich direkt darunter. Shuttle: Ein Shuttle ist möglich, aber nicht zwingend erforderlich. Dazu lässt man ein erstes Fahrzeug (Geländewagen oder hohes Auto) auf dem Nebenweg der GI-613 stehen, der zum Plateau von Palau (Gebiet mit kleinen landwirtschaftlichen Parzellen und bewohnten Hütten) hinunterführt. Es ist der erste Weg rechts nach dem Restaurant Els Pins. Nach 5 Minuten erreicht man eine Weggabelung, an der ein sehr altes Auto geparkt ist! Parken Sie daneben.

Abseilmanöver (auf einer leicht treppenartigen Steigung) dem Flusslauf etwa 15 Minuten lang folgen (einige flache Flussläufe und ein 2 m hoher Wasserfall mit einem Einpunkt-Sicherungssystem), bis Sie einen Nebenfluss auf der rechten Seite erreichen. Nehmen Sie hier einen Weg, der immer auf der rechten Seite des Flusses entlangführt. Sie kommen zu einigen Grundstücken, nehmen den Pfad, der zum Weg führt, gehen den Weg entlang und überqueren die Furt, um wieder auf die rechte Uferseite zu gelangen, und gehen dann hinauf zum alten Auto. So vermeiden Sie insbesondere, entlang der Straße zu laufen.

Approach: From the parking lot you reach the obvious beginning of the canyon.
Tour: Very short but beautiful, deep canyon in beautifully shaped white rock. Normally dry. There is water in the pools at the bottom of the rappels, but they are never very deep. You end the descent with a short thermal section with 38°C water. 4m, 5m, 15m, 12m, 10m, handrail to get to the C25. A 7m abseil under the bridge takes you to the short thermal section.

2025-05-03: Nice canyon, to do when the others in the area are high.
Approach: A few meters to the left of the power station, a serpentine path begins (beware, it is steeply uphill, but you are in the shade). At the crossroads, turn left and continue uphill to the "Mirador" (spectacular viewpoint). On the right-hand side you can see the valley with the canyon. From the viewpoint, turn right. The path occasionally gets lost on the sloping meadows (be careful not to slip). Cross a vague tributary and try to descend into the riverbed.
Tour: Very beautiful canyon in the mountains. The start is open (the first waterfalls may still be under firn, depending on the time of year). Then it becomes narrower, gaining verticality with really surprising obstacles. Depending on the amount of water, you may experience two small "cannonballs". The view during the entire descent is breathtaking. Some friction at the start. Well equipped. Definitely worth a visit, a very pleasant surprise awaits you. The meaning of "outdoor activity" comes into its own here. Don't miss the nearby via ferrata!

Sacs: Canyon End
2025-05-03: Nice canyon, to do when the others in the area are high.
Return: After the last (avoidable) abseil point, you can clearly see the path that cuts through the watercourse further down. Descend into the fields and take RG for the way back by car.

2025-05-03: Nice canyon, to do when the others in the area are high.
Access: Cross Benasque on the N260 (A130) and drive up the valley. 200 m after leaving the road leading up to the Cerler ski area on your right, turn left into an empty area from which a path leads across the watercourse. Power station (parking lot).
Return: After the last (avoidable) abseil point, you can clearly see the path that cuts through the watercourse further down. Descend into the fields and take RG for the way back by car.

Approach: Directly behind the cross, take a path that leads along a field. Remember that you will arrive at the top left of the field and that the start of the canyon is at the bottom right of the field. Avoid crossing the field. Walk along the edge.
Tour: A hike through a long, slightly incised corridor with waterfalls and shallow pools. The only obstacles worth mentioning are a 4 m high tufa waterfall that can be de-escalated (steps) and a 20 m long waterfall that flows into a large pool. It is possible to climb up the right-hand side and jump into the same pool, which adds a little life to this descent, which is only suitable for beginners. A curiosity: in the first part of the descent, a crevasse crosses the stream at right angles, revealing small, shallow caves on either side. September 2003: At a "natura 2000" meeting, the mayor of Amondans seriously threatened to ban access to the training area in the canyon of Amondans. The reasons for this were the development of professional canyoning and the presence of tags on a tufa waterfall... After a discussion, only the descent to a small tufa waterfall on the left bank was prohibited. Budding tightrope walkers could walk on a 15 m long, very straight log...

2025-05-14: Climbed in two days with bivouac. Anchors are (mostly in the upper part) in an old condition but mostly trustworthy. The last multipitch is secured with very good anchors. An anchor for a rope travers...
Approach: Follow the path that leads to the Veréran hut. You enter the canyon 500m before the hut, when the path crosses the torrent. Caution: follow the direction of the hut to the exit. Branches cross the torrent several times before entering the canyon.
Tour: The first part is long, with fewer large waterfalls. However, there is a 120 m long waterfall and a 90 m long one. The rest of the trail is largely hidden by trees. This part has beautiful, deep parts and is less busy. The second part consists mainly of the impressive succession of more than 250 m of vertical drops, with the main waterfall being a C200 with three relays. On September 6, 2023, the large waterfall of Arpenaz was re-equipped by SDIS 74 in close collaboration with CDPC 74, which provided the material for the re-equipment. The aim was to clean the obsolete equipment and refit the relays with chain-shaped stainless steel pin seals. So the topographic view is as follows: In the pool at the exit of the big waterfall: a fixed handrail is placed on the right bank to get to the relay for the first rappel. Be sure to make an abseilable handrail on the left bank on two sealed pins and use the fixed handrail to get to the first abseil relay. There is a sealed clipable pin in the middle to attach your abseilable handrail and make it easier to overcome this difficulty. 1st rappel: Relay Full Throttle (Mood!!!). Two pedals are set up to help with the rappel. Then 48 m rappel with spider web. For the tall ones, there is the option of touching the wall with the tip of your foot to swing and reach the next station. The others can easily swing or help themselves with a stick. 2nd rappel: 45 m rappel in the axis to reach the next rappel, which is on a ledge (obvious to find). 3rd rappel: Make sure this abseil is new and changes the information of all TOPOS. Rappel for 55 meters, pulling slightly to the right as you rappel. You will pass the old relay (we have left a dot to show you the way). Continue down for about 5 to 8 meters to come across a small, clearly visible ledge. The relay is visible in the last few meters. Relay with 3-point chain. 4th rappel: Rappels of about 40 meters. Past the first pool to the exit of the next waterfall. Chain relay with handrail. 5th rappel: Approx. 35 m. Walk from the base of the large waterfall and descend the riverbed. The relay of C23 has been redone. Relay on chained spits 2 m above the old relay. The last abseil is a C45 which allows you to reach the pool at the foot of the waterfall with regular crowds. Some old resting places have been preserved and restored. They serve as storage relays for group abseils. There is a handrail to reach the new stainless steel relays for rappels. However, the new equipment does not change the fact that very good experience is required for such combinations! There are two possible escape routes through this canyon, which are very easy to find as the paths meet the watercourse there! However, this canyon is very long and once you have started the different parts, there is no escape for the first 2 to 3 hours and for the last at least 3 to 4 hours! This canyon can only be tackled with little water, otherwise the sequences are deadly. A light wind is enough to move the water jet 20 m sideways at the last chain! Excellent control of the large verticals is required. Plan to retrofit, as the ice puts the anchors to the test in winter. For your information, the LPO (Ligue de Protection des Oiseaux) informs us of the presence of a pair of eagle owls (for 15 years). Seen from the parking lot, the nesting sites are located on the ledges on the right side of the waterfall. Its nesting season, during which it needs absolute peace and quiet, lasts from December to the exit of June (rather outside the optimal time for canyoning - which is a good thing). Given the distance between the rappelling routes and its nesting sites, cohabitation with canyoneers is not a problem for it. This species is fragile, there are only about 20 pairs left in Haute Savoie and only about 1000 in France.

Return: After a few seconds in a field, you will reach the parking lot on the left bank. You will find some spectators picnicking below the waterfall in summer!

Access: If you are coming from the Bonneville side of the A40 white highway, take the Cluses exit and then the N205 towards Sallanches. Drive past Magland and turn off in Oëx on a small road towards Luzier. You pass a first watercourse: Le Nant de la Rippaz, and 2-3 km later you cross the Torrent d'Arpenaz. 250 m after this bridge, you will find a path on the left that leads to the parking lot. Note that there is a dirt road that is closed for part of the year (generally open from September) and can only be accessed with an off-road vehicle. It is the slope that leads up to the Verran hut by continuing the slope of the intermediate access from Crève Coeur.
Return: After a few seconds in a field, you will reach the parking lot on the left bank. You will find some spectators picnicking below the waterfall in summer!

Baou: Canyon Start
Tour: A succession of small waterfalls and canyons. Quite a lot to walk. This canyon is somewhere between a water hike and canyoning. The biggest difficulty is the 15-metre high waterfall, otherwise the rest of the canyon can be negotiated without ropes. All difficulties can be avoided.

Baou: Canyon End
Return: Possibility to return via a walk of about two hours instead of taking the shuttle bus. At the exit of the canyon, take the right branch of the Baou (which is interrupted by a lock) and then a path on the right that leads to the D123 and follow the road to the car. (not very easy).

Baou: Parking at Entry
Access: From La Palud sur Verdon, take the D123 to the junction just before it and then continue straight on to the Ponsonnet bridge over the Baou (IGN altitude 922 m). To use the shuttle, park your car at the bridge on the D952, which crosses the Baou where the canyon exits.
Return: Possibility to return via a walk of about two hours instead of taking the shuttle bus. At the exit of the canyon, take the right branch of the Baou (which is interrupted by a lock) and then a path on the right that leads to the D123 and follow the road to the car. (not very easy).

Approach: Follow the marked path "Les Chaudières". Access to the upper cauldrons; start 50 m from the viewpoint.
Tour: A series of small waterfalls and ledges that are well suited for beginners. C2,R1, C4, slide possible or S4 from the viewpoint (but not recommended, narrow pool and often branches, especially plumb the pool well) , C2,C2 and R1. Fixed ropes in the RG to C4 to repeat the first part. A very short canyon for beginners, fully equipped with RD (plaques, pins and chains...) and allowing short rappelling routes. Canyon for the introduction of children... or a walk in the late afternoon when you hang out after Morteau...

Ciambairo: Canyon Start
Approach: Folgen Sie der Straße (Route de la Condamine) 750 m weiter und nehmen Sie den Fernwanderweg GR, der zur Kapelle St. Bernard hinaufführt. Dann entweder: - Steigen Sie etwa 1 Stunde lang hinauf. Auf einer Höhe von 650 m, nach einer Haarnadelkurve, wo Sie das Tal im Rücken haben, führt ein nicht sehr gut sichtbarer Pfad direkt über ein Geröllfeld. Vom Tal aus, sobald Sie die Vegetation erreichen, wird der Pfad besser sichtbar. Von dort aus steigen Sie so gut wie möglich zum Tal hinab. - Erreichen Sie die Kapelle und den Col St. Bernard. Biegen Sie links (nach Norden) ab und nehmen Sie den Weg links, der hinunterführt. Sie kommen sehr schnell an einer bewaldeten Schlucht vorbei. Gehen Sie etwa 250 m weiter, bis Sie einen Bergrücken erreichen (Höhe: 681 m). Nehmen Sie einen Nebenweg links (gelbe Markierung), der leicht diagonal zur oben genannten Schlucht zurückführt. Der Aufstieg beginnt auf einer Höhe von 500 m am Zusammenfluss dieser Schlucht und des Ciambairo-Baches.
Tour: Die ersten beiden Hindernisse werden übersprungen (mit den üblichen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen). Ein Abseilpunkt (C7) führt in das Becken oberhalb von C70. Guter Standplatz (Ende 2012 verbessert) am rechten Ufer. Schönes Zielbecken, dann C20, C5, C7. Der große Wasserfall hat eine Fallhöhe von 5 m und eine Stufe von 66 m.

Ciambairo: Canyon End
Return: Deutlicher Ausgang am linken Ufer auf Höhe der Brücke.

Ciambairo: Unknown Parking
Access: Von der Ausfahrt A8 in Menton fahren Sie in Richtung Sospel. An der Abzweigung nach Castellar biegen Sie rechts ab. Die Ankunft im Tal ist an der zweiten Brücke.
Return: Deutlicher Ausgang am linken Ufer auf Höhe der Brücke.

Ce sentier croisera une première fois le ruisseau d\'escarran pour arriver jusqu\'au chemin (prendre à droite) qui mène aux granges de l\'esponne. Arrivé aux granges (ruines), continuer le sentier sur 200m jusqu\'a croiser le canyon. Descendre.

Approach: We cross the two roadways and the railroad track with great care. On the other side, we follow the hiking trail along the Canal du Gabre (yellow markings). Then cross the canal and follow the path up the orographic left slope of the canyon. Where the path crosses the stream, we take the path.
Tour: Sequence of many smaller steps, many of them slippery.

Imberguet (Amont): Canyon Start
2025-04-11: Open woodsy canyon. Some shorter rappels and one 35m. All anchor points good condition but all not connected (except the 35m). Cold water.
Comment: Arrivé sur un replat avec des ruines, le chemin principal fait un lacet qui continue auNord. Le quiter pour prendre une sente a l\'est qui descend à la rivière
Approach: Take the PR path with the signs for Collet Boiera up to Collet des granges abandonnés (approx. 30 minutes). There you leave the PR via a small path to the right, which leads to the watercourse after 3 minutes. Note on finding the small path: At the last hairpin bend on the left, there is a ruin on your right, continue along the path and ten meters further on you will come across another ruin (again on your right). The small path turns off to the right just before this second ruin (large pile of stones).
Tour: This little-visited walk offers a wild setting in a valley that remains quite open overall. Numerous waterfalls (mostly calcified, the rock clings very strongly) that can be climbed down via de-escalation or rappel, with a very nice C38 in the first third. There are several diversions along the entire route, particularly at the water catchments that lead to the hamlet of Calençon on one side or the other. Quite open many emergency exits. For a nice, full descent, you must continue with the lower part after depositing the large ropes at the car.

Access: From Nice, take the RD-6202 (ex RN-202) to Plan du Var, at the end of the town after the bridge, turn right onto the D-2565, which runs alongside the river Vésubie. Continue in the direction of Saint Jean la Rivière to join the D-19 which leads to Duranus. Drive up to the hamlet of Calençon (second bridge) and park in the parking lot on the left before the hamlet. Start path (marked) shortly after crossing the hamlet.
Return: When you arrive under the bridge, stay on the bank and ascend on the right bank via the access path of the lower part of the valley.

Infernet: Canyon Start
Approach: Vom Parkplatz aus den GR hinuntergehen, unten links abbiegen. Der Weg führt zum Bach La Cause und dann zu einem Pfad. Biegen Sie rechts ab in Richtung Le Prieuré und Puyloubier GR9, überqueren Sie die Brücke La Cause und folgen Sie dem Weg, bis er sich in zwei Richtungen teilt. Nehmen Sie nun den linken Weg, der mit einem Wegweiser (SV102) und einem Verbotsschild für motorisierte Fahrzeuge in Richtung Vauvenargues (Rundweg Vallon du Délubre) gekennzeichnet ist. Wandern Sie bis zum kleinen Pass auf 427 m Höhe laut IGN (Schlucht vom Weg aus sichtbar). Kurz vor dem Pass hat sich rechts unten eine Art Talsohle gebildet. Folgen Sie dieser und steigen Sie zunächst zum Ausgang der Schlucht hinab. Biegen Sie dann 20 m nach dem Stamm einer großen umgestürzten Kiefer (Steinhaufen) links ab und gehen Sie in Richtung des Felsgrats an der offensten Stelle des Hangs (folgen Sie den wenigen Steinhaufen). Ein schlecht markierter Pfad führt Sie zu einer kleinen Kluft, die Sie hinunterklettern müssen, um zum Beginn der Schlucht zu gelangen.
Tour: Die Schlucht ist sehr kurz. Man passiert die Mulde unter der großen toten Kiefer, überquert einige kleine Gours und gelangt dann zu einer Schlucht mit einer C3 (Sprung möglich + Schwimmen), C4 (Sprung von 4 oder 6 m über eine MC auf der rechten Seite möglich + Schwimmen) , Abstieg von der C3 oder Abseilen an einem Punkt auf der rechten Seite, wenn es rutschig ist, C5 (Sprung möglich + Schwimmen). Am rechten Ufer aussteigen, wenn die Schlucht endet. Geeignet für Kinder und Erwachsene ohne Erfahrung, die sich zum ersten Mal im Canyoning versuchen möchten. Achtung! Der Felsen ist beim 6 m hohen Sprung über den zweiten Wasserfall ziemlich rutschig, der Absprungpunkt ist schwierig zu erreichen. Verwenden Sie den vorhandenen Handlauf zum Klettern. Der Zugang zum Massiv ist während der Sommermonate streng reglementiert. Beachten Sie die geltenden Vorschriften!

Infernet: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Von Aix-en-Provence aus fahren Sie auf der D10 in Richtung Vauvenargues. Fahren Sie an St-Marc-de-Jaumegarde vorbei, an der Abzweigung zum Staudamm von Bimont und Les Bonfillons mit seiner Ampel, um zum Parkplatz Venturiers auf der rechten Seite der D10 zu gelangen, eineinhalb Kilometer vor Vauvenargues.
Return: Auf der rechten Uferseite den Pfad bis zum Weg hinaufsteigen und den Hinweg zurück zum Parkplatz nehmen. Sie können den Abstieg mehrmals am Tag wiederholen, da die Verbindungsstrecke nur 10 Minuten dauert.

Approach: Continue on foot and take the path (red and yellow markings) that begins in a grove of trees surrounded by two meadows. A little further on, leave the path that leads to the Grotte des Gaulois on the right and follow the path to the portal of a cave from which the spring that causes the waterfall emerges (blue marker).
Tour: Sequence of waterfalls for a total of 360 m; the first abseil point is on an empty full tree RG. From the second relay there are no more alternative routes. The last waterfall can be avoided by joining the RD ascent route. Due to the width of the relays, a team of three people is recommended, no more and no less. The largest waterfall in the region

Approach: From here, follow the GR in the direction of Muscadet (there are signposts). After about 40-45 minutes, we reach a small stream on the left coming down from the Fontaine d'Aouen. Soon you will see the GR zigzagging up the slope. This is the moment to take the path to the right towards the canyon.
Tour: Natural abseiling points, numerous abseiling points, many of which can be bypassed via side routes, and to top it all off, the waterfall area with 3 abseiling points almost in a row to save 100 m of altitude difference. Emergency exits: During the entire descent

2025-05-06: Our first ascent, everywhere else was flooded after extensive rainfall. We installed a few new anchors to protect our ropes.
Comment: Etwas unterhalb des Parkplatzes über die Piste und die kleine Wiese Richtung Bachbett.
Approach: Either follow the trail from the upper car a little below the slope across the meadows into the forest. There you will immediately find the streambed. (2 minutes) Without a second car, follow the road south from the parking lot. Follow the fourth road to the left (Route de la Rippaz). At the upper hairpin bend, a track starts which initially runs parallel to the neighboring stream (Nant de la Rippaz) and then leads up to the left into the forest. Simply follow this ascent until you reach the road with the upper parking lot (white container). (30 minutes)
Tour: After a short rappel along the stream, the first short rappels follow, which are partly on single hooks, partly on tree slings with rings. Some abseils lead over several steps! You quickly reach the first high waterfall: C 15, 2 bolts far back on the right, C 25, 2 bolts on the left, C40, chain anchor on the right. Further rappels from trees (emergency exit via a path on the left) lead to a water tap and the next and last high rappel: C 5, 2 anchors left, C30 chain anchor left front

Comment: Nach dem zweiten hohen Wasserfall das Bachbett an der Brücke verlassen.
Return: The last high rappel is followed by a few meters through the stream. You then reach the garden of a house on the right. Although you can simply get out here, you are probably entering private property. It is better to continue through the stream for another 20 meters and then get off at the bridge.

Approach: The road leads directly to the first rappel.
Tour: The descent begins with 2 jumps (<5m) on AN. This is followed by a C10 and then a C25. The rest of the descent is a long hike interrupted by jumps and a nice little narrow section (C10). You reach the last obstacle, a small blockage that leads to the very nice C45. Watch out for the friction. Commitment quite high, no evasive options along the whole route, but possibility to get clear of high water very easily.

Rosiéra: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot above, walk back down to the church, from where you take the GR in the direction of Utelle. Follow the GR for an hour. You reach the well-marked valley, easily recognizable by a plaque on the side of the path (commenting on the erosion of the rock by the water). You can see the Madonna of Utelle up ahead. Go down into the valley about 10 m after the stone bridge that spans the valley.
Tour: Mostly dry, wild, slightly incised, vertical valley. You start with a series of medium height abseils and de-escalations (max C20), interspersed with short steps, in a wooded environment. The high point of the valley is the large vertical (C95), which divides into two parts (handrail RD for access to the first abseil (C45m), then wide platform for the second abseil (C50m)). In both parts, some bushes can obstruct the descent and tangle the ropes in bushes. This is followed by another, shorter series of small abseils or de-escalations. Commitment: Moderate, thanks to the dry and relatively open character of the valley.

2025-05-23: Top conditions after 25 mm of rain the day before, frost above 2000m and clouds.
Comment: Der schmale Wanderweg führt direkt zum Bach
Approach: A forest trail starts directly at the parking lot, which leads straight ahead at the beginning and later upwards in serpentines. It has a few shortcuts at the beginning, but these lead back to the main trail after a short time. After two hairpin bends on an open section without trees, there are two more narrow hairpin bends in the forest. A narrow path starts at the third hairpin bend, which initially leads over a sometimes extremely slippery streambed. This path quickly leads to the entry of Salvadon Canyon.
Tour: After having to stow the rope back in your rucksack between the first few ropes, it remains in the fresh air afterwards, with a few exceptions. Some narrow sections quickly become dangerous when the water level is high, and you have to look for jumps and slides. In good weather, there are great panoramic views of the mountains.

Return: After the last short drops, when the streambed flattens out, turn right into the forest. After 100 meters you reach a meadow, which you cross until you reach a trekker's trail. Follow this to the right (stay on top). It leads to the parking lot in a few minutes.

Access: From Sixt Fer a Cheval, drive a good 1.3 km along the Giffre in the direction of Cirque du Fer a Cheval. Then take the turn-off to "Le Crot" / "Echarny" and follow the narrow, asphalted road to the entry parking lot.
Return: After the last short drops, when the streambed flattens out, turn right into the forest. After 100 meters you reach a meadow, which you cross until you reach a trekker's trail. Follow this to the right (stay on top). It leads to the parking lot in a few minutes.

Salvadon: Waterlevel Checkpoint
Comment: Von hier aus ist der hohe Wasserfall zu sehen.
Hydrology: Tour reports repeatedly note that the water level rises significantly in the early afternoon during snowmelt months. An estimate of the water level in the morning of the day of the tour should be supplemented by an observation in the afternoon of the previous day.

Syratus: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, take the GR that climbs up to Chatelet.
Tour: A series of waterfalls that are not surrounded by rock faces. Relays in the form of ropes and chain links around the trees. You can bypass the first waterfall by 50 m by taking a vague path to the left in the first hairpin bend of the GR after crossing the road. You then walk along the road from above, past the road shelters. An escape is possible on the other side. The part below the road is closed to canyoning in order to protect the tufa concretions. The Natura 2000 biotope regulation prohibits climbing and canyoning on the Baume rock face and the Syratu waterfalls from February 15 to June 15. You are hiking on very sensitive tufa, so please be careful... A very beautiful descent that must be protected and respected! This descent can serve as an abseil point after climbing La Baume rock.

2025-09-02: In optimal conditions, like today (nice, stable weather and a good amount of water after rain the day before) a very impressive and absolutely worthwhile canyon. The view is impressive, the rock is b...
Approach: Überqueren Sie kurz nach dem Parkplatz den Rif Bel Fluß auf einer Brücke und gehen Sie dann auf dem orografisch rechts verlaufenden, bequemen Weg taleinwärts. Er führt meist schattig durch den Wald. Nach gut 20 Minuten überqueren Sie den Bachlauf des Vallon Claus. Auch wenn hier kein Wasser läuft, heißt das nicht, dass der Canyon trocken ist. Ein paar Minuten weiter kommen Sie an einen Wegweiser "Vallon Claus, Alt. 1910". Hier biegen sie links ab, Richtung "Col de la Colette Verte"zum Vallon Claus führt. Was eben noch ein vergnüglicher Spaziergang war, wird zu einem steilen Abenteuer nebst Metallstufen und Geländerseilen, bei dem Trittsicherheit unerlässlich ist. Sie landen in einem kleinen Lärchenwald, den Sie auf dem gut erkennbaren Weg durchqueren. Kurz darauf passieren Sie in offenem Gelände den einzigen Notausstieg der Tour, eine trockene Rinne, die in den Canyon führt. So verlockend es auch ist, hier bereits einzusteigen, um sich weiter Höhenmeter zu ersparen, folgen Sie weiter dem Weg, Sie verpassen sonst sechs schöne Abseilstellen und damit fast die Hälfte der Tour. Der Weg führt kurz darauf quer durch ein nahezu vegetationsloses Gröllfeld, in deren Mitte eine einzelne, ca. 2 Meter hohe Kiefer steht. Wenn Sie die Gratkante 30 Meter danach erreichen, haben Sie das Ziel vor Augen. Steigen Sie über die Wiesen zum Bachlauf ab. (Gesamtzeit ca. 2 Stunden)
Tour: Wenn der Wasserstand stimmt und die Sonne lacht, erwartet Sie eine tolle Tour zwischen hohen Felswänden, in der Sie fast mehr abseilen als zu Fuß gehen. Zu Beginn ist es recht frisch. Die Wasserfälle folgen Schlag auf Schlag, die Verankerungen werden dem Canyon nicht gerecht, vielfach finden sich nur Einzelhaken: C10, C6, C15, C15 + D3, C15, C12 Ausstieg möglich links C40, MC4 + C25, C18, C12, D5, C12, D10, C15, D10, C15 + C25, D20 (Gesamtzeit ca. 4 Stunden)

Access: Von Guillestre aus nehmen Sie die RN D902 in Richtung Vars. Nach einigen Kilometern und einigen Serpentinen biegen Sie links auf die kleine, steile Straße ab, die zum Val d'Escreins und zur Basse Rua führt. Parken Sie auf dem zugehörigen Parkplatz (am Ende der Straße), eine Weiterfahrt ist seit 2018 nicht mehr erlaubt.
Return: Nach dem letzten Abseiler folgen Sie dem Bachbett einige Minuten und landen direkt auf der flachen Passage des Anweges. Folgen Sie dem Weg nach rechts talauswärts zurück zum Auto. (Gesamtzeit ca. 30 Minuten)

Approach: Nehmen Sie dann den Weg, der hinter dem Straßenwärterhaus hinunter zu einem Obstgarten zwischen zwei Häusern führt. Durchqueren Sie den Obstgarten nicht, sondern nehmen Sie rechts einen Pfad, der rechts vom rechten Haus in Richtung eines Strommasts verläuft (Pfad auf alten IGN-Karten eingezeichnet). Nach dem Mast nicht geradeaus den Weg weitergehen, der bergauf führt, sondern an einer Weggabelung den linken, mit einem Steinhaufen markierten Pfad nehmen, der zu einem weiteren Steinhaufen 30 m weiter unten hinunterführt. Von dort aus geht es weiter in Richtung des Tals (halten Sie sich an den beiden Strommasten auf dem Kamm in der Ferne). Zuerst passieren Sie den Grund des ersten trockenen Tals, dann verläuft der Weg mehr oder weniger eben, bis er den Ausgangspunkt kreuzt. Ohne Shuttle: 800 m nach der Brücke (Höhe: 597 m mit Markierung, direkt nach einem Weg mit Verbotsschild) den bergauf führenden, gelb markierten Weg nehmen. Nach 25 Minuten passiert er einen Kamm (Ruinen des Schlosses d'Ongrand), einen Pass und führt dann leicht bergauf weiter bis in die Nähe der Quelle von Yéga. Biegen Sie rechts ab, um einen Pass zwischen zwei Hügeln (Höhen: 965 m und 976 m) zu erreichen. Steigen Sie hinter dem Pass hinab und halten Sie sich dabei möglichst rechts, um einen besseren Weg am Rande einer ersten Schlucht zu erreichen. Dieser führt durch die Schlucht, gehen Sie 3 Minuten lang nach links zu einer kleinen, gut begehbaren Schlucht. 1h15. Ein Parkplatz befindet sich etwa 600 m hinter der Brücke. Rückweg: 20 Min.
Tour: Kleines Tal, zunächst trocken, das im interessanten Teil wieder auftaucht. Im ersten Teil eine schöne Abfolge mehrerer Abseilstellen. Zu beachten ist eine unpassierbare Brombeerzone, die zwischen der ersten Abseilstelle und dem Zusammenfluss (Punkt 595) rechts umgangen werden muss. Am Ende (nach der Straßenbrücke) ein eingeschnittener Teil, ästhetischer und spielerischer (einige Sprünge). Beschreibung der Hindernisse: 45 Minuten Fußmarsch, Pi3, Pi17, C9, C12, C13, C6, C15, Umgehung rechts, C12, C4, C7, C2, Pi2 unter der Straßenbrücke, C11, Pi3, R4, S3, S2, Pi8, C3, Ausgang.

Yéga: Canyon End
Return: Verlassen Sie das linke Ufer vor einer kleinen, vollständig mit Efeu bewachsenen Steinbrücke und gehen Sie links den Gemeindeweg hinauf bis zur Straße, dann rechts bis zum Auto.

Yéga: Parking at Entry
Access: Am Ortseingang von Peille nehmen Sie die Route des Banquettes in Richtung L'Escarène. An der Kreuzung (Quartier de Tana) biegen Sie links ab und passieren das Vallon des Banquettes in einer Haarnadelkurve. 200 m danach parken Sie Ihr Auto auf der rechten Straßenseite vor der Kurve. Die Durchflussmenge des Baches kann man 300 m weiter überprüfen. Mit dem anderen Fahrzeug kehren Sie zur Kreuzung zurück und fahren links bergauf in Richtung Col des Banquettes und Sainte-Agnès. Am Col des Banquettes biegen Sie links auf die Straße in Richtung Mont-Ours ab. Nach etwa 10 Minuten führt die Straße am Straßenwärterhaus vorbei (das wahrscheinlich 2010 renoviert wurde), kurz danach parken Sie rechts gegenüber dem Eingang zu einer großen Wiese.
Return: Verlassen Sie das linke Ufer vor einer kleinen, vollständig mit Efeu bewachsenen Steinbrücke und gehen Sie links den Gemeindeweg hinauf bis zur Straße, dann rechts bis zum Auto.

Débousadou: Canyon Start
Approach: Vom Parkplatz aus nehmen Sie den mit einer Schranke gesperrten Weg, gehen 200 Meter weiter und nehmen den zweiten Weg links (wenn der Weg nach rechts abbiegt). Begeben Sie sich in den Wald hinein (wenn Sie geradeaus weitergehen, gelangen Sie zum Ende der Schlucht und zum Fuß der C13) und nehmen Sie dann relativ schnell einen weiteren Weg links: Das Ziel ist es, den Felsvorsprung zu umgehen, um zum Beginn der Schlucht zu gelangen. Der Zugang ist (möglicherweise) auf der rechten Seite der Schlucht einfacher, bitte überprüfen Sie dies.
Tour: Zwei Vorsprünge: einer von 2 Metern (Bolzen ohne Plättchen) und dann die Vertikale von 13 Metern (Standplatz mit Kette). Es lohnt sich, einen kleinen Abstecher in die pseudo-Höhle auf der rechten Seite der Schlucht zu machen. Der Zugang ist während des Aufstiegs oder vor dem Abstieg über den ersten Felsvorsprung möglich (MC zur Sicherung der Überquerung anzubringen, Plaketten vorhanden).

Débousadou: Canyon End

Duc: Canyon Start
Approach: Vom Parkplatz aus folgen Sie dem schönen „Chemin de Nietsche” mit seinen Steinstufen, der einen herrlichen Blick auf die Küste bietet und dann nach Osten führt, wo Sie das rechte Ufer des Vallon du Duc überblicken können. Weiter oben umgeht der Weg die Mauer eines Hauses und steigt steiler an, bis Sie eine gelbe Markierung auf dem Felsen erreichen. Verlassen Sie den Weg und folgen Sie einem Pfad, der rechts in den Wald bis zum Tal führt, in der Nähe einer Ruine, dem Ausgangspunkt des Tals.
Tour: Das bewaldete Tal beginnt mit einem schönen Wasserfall, dem zahlreiche weitere Wasserfälle folgen, die im Laufe des Abstiegs austrocknen. Einige steile Stufen auf zwei Dritteln der Strecke behindern buchstäblich das Vorankommen! Ausrüstung für den Baumkletterpark: Bringen Sie Seilstücke zum Umrüsten und Ihre Astschere mit! Nach einer grandiosen Anfahrt über das Mittelmeer schlängelt sich eine echte Schlucht durch die kleinen Engpässe oberhalb des Meeres unterhalb des wunderschönen Dorfes Eze. Aufgrund seiner Südlage sollte man den Abstieg im Sommer vermeiden.

Duc: Canyon End
Return: Das bewaldete Tal beginnt mit einem schönen Wasserfall, dem zahlreiche weitere Wasserfälle folgen, die im Laufe des Abstiegs austrocknen. Einige Stufen auf einem Feldweg auf 2/3 der Strecke erschweren das Vorankommen im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes!

An der nächsten Kreuzung biegen Sie links in Richtung Cap d'Ail ab und fahren an der nächsten Kreuzung rechts weiter auf der M45, die im Zickzack bis zur Küstenstraße M6098 hinunterführt. Fahren Sie am Stoppschild rechts auf die M6098 in Richtung Eze-bord-de-mer. Nachdem Sie den langen Tunnel durchquert haben, fahren Sie 1 km weiter und parken Sie links von der Straße auf den Parkplätzen.

Komoot track upper part: https://www.komoot.com/tour/2275420176 (1 hour, 370 m), Komoot track lower part: https://www.komoot.com/tour/2275425443 (50 minutes, 280 m) You can drive to both entries via narrow mountain roads. From there, follow the forest road northwards up to the stream (5 minutes each)
Tour: A rappel from a tree that is tricky to reach through a very fragile rock face marks the entry into the canyon. The waterfalls soon become higher and more beautiful. The exits and intermediate access points are clearly visible. You can see that much of the forest above the tour has fallen victim to storms or sawing. The tour is currently (as of May 2025) well equipped, all anchors are doubled and as rope-friendly as possible.

Approach: Kein Shuttle. Folgen Sie dem Wanderweg bis zur ersten kleinen Brücke, dem Startpunkt der Tour.
Tour: Kleines, trockenes Tal ohne jeglichen Anspruch und ohne Hindernisse, das wirklich einen Abstecher wert ist. Ein Muss, wenn Sie in der Gegend wohnen Es kann mit der Launa verbunden werden (oberhalb der Launa).

Galambert: Canyon End
Return: Verlassen Sie die Brücke an der nächsten Brücke, es sei denn, Sie möchten weiter zum Vallon de la Launa wandern, das ähnliche Eigenschaften aufweist. Auf dem Rückweg folgen Sie dem Galambert am linken Ufer bis zur Ausgangsbrücke und steigen dann zum Auto hinauf.

Galambert: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Von Peille aus nehmen Sie die D53 in Richtung La Turbie und biegen nach einer großen Haarnadelkurve (in diesem Tal gibt es nichts Interessantes zu sehen) rechts in eine Straße auf Höhe des Stadtteils Lacs ab.

Garde: Canyon Start
Approach: Weiter zu Fuß auf der Straße, vorbei am Ortsschild von La Ciotat, dann links (auf Höhe der zerbrochenen Mauer) den Weg nehmen, der zum Quartier de la Garde hinunterführt, links am Haus von Michel Simon vorbeigehen, weiter geradeaus zum Meer hinuntergehen (rechts den Weg zum Canyon von St. Jean de Capistran links liegen lassen). Sie kommen auf einen schönen Weg, den Sie überqueren, um gegenüber durch die Buchsbäume hinunter in die Talsohle zu gelangen.
Tour: Start im Unterholz, dann wird es enger, aber mit ein paar Brombeersträuchern (einige Vorsprünge müssen überwunden werden), gelangt man dann zur Felsspalte, die sicherlich die engste im gesamten Gebiet ist. Diese ist nicht gesichert, eine C6 mit festsitzendem Block, dann Weitergang bis zum Meer (Möglichkeit, gegenüberliegend abzusteigen und dann ebenfalls gegenüberliegend zum Meer zu gehen, bei starkem Wellengang nicht empfehlenswert).

Inguillième: Canyon Start
Approach: Nehmen Sie den GR in RG vom Destéou, der auf den Lambert-Weg hinaufführt. Oben biegen Sie rechts ab in Richtung IGN-Punkt 573. Von dort aus steigen Sie auf Höhe einer Brandschutzschneise hinab zur Felsverengung, dem Ausgangspunkt der Tour.
Tour: Eine Reihe von geneigten Flächen, die man abseilt oder absteigt. Je nach Durchflussmenge ist das Abseilen vorzuziehen... Bei geringem Wasserfluss sind 2 bis 3 Abseilmanöver erforderlich.

Inguillième: Canyon End
Return: Verlassen Sie den RG über einen Pfad, wenn der Höhenunterschied horizontal wird. Folgen Sie dann dem Weg bis zum Fahrzeug.

Inguillième: Unknown Parking
Access: Auf der D14 in Richtung Collobrières biegen Sie rechts auf die D41 in Richtung Bormes-les-Mimosas ab. Überqueren Sie eine Brücke und nehmen Sie 600 m danach den Weg links. Folgen Sie dem Weg nach rechts, entlang des Baches, bis Sie eine Furt überqueren und sich auf der rechten Seite des Baches befinden. Überqueren Sie die Furt von Destéou und parken Sie am Ausgangspunkt des Fernwanderwegs GR, ohne zu stören (Punkt 220 auf der IGN-Karte). Bei starkem Regen können Sie die Furten nicht überqueren. Sie können kurz vor der ersten Furt des Baches Malière parken. Dies verlängert den An- und Rückweg um 20 Minuten.
Return: Verlassen Sie den RG über einen Pfad, wenn der Höhenunterschied horizontal wird. Folgen Sie dann dem Weg bis zum Fahrzeug.

Launa: Canyon Start
Approach: Kein Shuttle. Folgen Sie dem Wanderweg bis zur ersten kleinen Brücke und gehen Sie dann weiter bis zur zweiten Brücke, dem Startpunkt des Laufs.
Tour: Kleines, trockenes Tal ohne besonderen Anspruch und ohne nennenswerte Hindernisse, das einen Abstecher wert ist. Zu empfehlen, wenn Sie in der Gegend wohnen. Dennoch gibt es einige schöne Passagen. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, den Bach Galambert mit dem Bach Launa zu verbinden. Dazu steigen Sie an der ersten Brücke auf dem Hinweg in den Bach hinab. Dadurch verlängert sich die Wanderung um eine knappe Stunde. Die beiden Bäche sind ziemlich ähnlich.

Launa: Canyon End
Return: Verlassen Sie die Brücke an der nächsten (also der dritten) und versuchen Sie nicht, bis zum Paillon weiterzugehen, da der weitere Verlauf wirklich uninteressant ist (man stößt dort auf ein Chaos aus Felsblöcken und vermoderte Wasserbecken, aber keine Hindernisse oder interessante Passagen). Von der Brücke aus geht es am rechten Ufer der Launa entlang, der Weg entfernt sich vom Bach. An den beiden folgenden Kreuzungen biegen Sie jeweils rechts ab, um nach etwa 30 Minuten zur Ausgangsbrücke zurückzukehren. Kehren Sie dann auf dem gleichen Weg wie auf dem Hinweg zum Auto zurück.

Launa: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Von Peille aus nehmen Sie die D53 in Richtung La Turbie und biegen nach einer großen Haarnadelkurve (in diesem Tal gibt es nichts Interessantes zu sehen) rechts in eine Straße auf Höhe des Stadtteils Lacs ab. Nach einer Linkskurve parken Sie auf einem ausgezeichneten Parkplatz auf der rechten Seite in der Nähe der Wanderwegmarkierung.

Ortas: Canyon Start
Approach: Vom Col de la Coupière (440 m) aus geht es etwa 400 Meter lang auf dem Waldbrandbekämpfungsweg DFCI des Trois Monts (GR 51) in Richtung Süden bergauf. Von dort aus gelangt man durch das Gestrüpp zum Tal und schließlich zum Wasserfall.
Tour: Der Abstieg beginnt oben am 60 Meter hohen Wasserfall. Über einen ersten Standplatz am rechten Ufer gelangt man zum Hauptstandplatz am linken Ufer, der sich etwa fünfzehn Meter flussabwärts befindet. Das Ende des Abstiegs markiert der Fuß des Wasserfalls. Der weitere Verlauf des Tals ist ebenfalls sehenswert, lässt jedoch angesichts der Vegetation und des geringen Höhenunterschieds bis zur Autobahn keine Träumereien aufkommen. Das Hauptrelais befindet sich im Hochwasserbereich. Es wäre vorteilhaft, ein neues Relais außerhalb des Hochwasserbereichs am rechten Ufer anzubringen. Hinweis für Interessierte ... Dieser Parcours ermöglicht Seilmanöver in großer Höhe, ohne dass ein ganztägiger Abstieg erforderlich ist.

Ortas: Unknown Parking
Access: Von der RD 67 auf Höhe von Cap Martin fahren Sie 2,5 km auf der RD 51 in Richtung La Turbie. In einer großen Kurve biegen Sie rechts auf die RD 50 nach Gorbio ab; folgen Sie dieser Straße 1 km lang und biegen Sie dann links auf den schmalen und steilen asphaltierten Weg La Coupière ab, der zum Parkplatz des Passes (440 m) führt. Parkplatz auf der linken Seite.
Return: Über halb markierte Pfade durch das Gestrüpp am linken Ufer hinaufsteigen.

Pont du Diable - Creux Billard: Canyon Start
Tour: It starts with the approx. 30 m long waterfall of the Devil's Bridge. This is followed by a long river walk (>2kms) to get to the Creux Billard waterfall (~90m, several stops in between). The Creux Billard rarely carries water, but can be very large at high water. The Devil's Bridge is used for ice climbing in winter. Rappels from the bridge are prohibited.

Approach: Vom Parkplatz aus bleiben Sie auf dieser Hochebene und folgen der Straße ein Stück weiter, um dann sofort den rechten Weg einzuschlagen. Folgen Sie diesem bis zur Kreuzung mit einem anderen Weg, die Nr. 1 und 2 befinden sich nicht weit rechts von Ihnen am Fuße des Felsvorsprungs.
Tour: - Nr. 1: Einzelpunkt mit Kettenglied. 2x30 Abseilen, um 3 Wasserfälle zu passieren. Dann AN (Felsen oder anderes) 2x25. Nr. 2 befindet sich daneben, man muss nur so gut wie möglich auf den Felsvorsprung klettern (Option 1: so gut wie möglich durch das Gebüsch klettern, indem man ein wenig links vom Weg entlanggeht (15 Min., Wildschweinzugang Stufe 4) oder den Weg zum Parkplatz nehmen und den Hinweg in 35 Min. zurücklegen. - Nr. 2: Einpunkt-RD (Ring) zum Ziehen eines Handlaufs und RD-Ring für eine C15. Zwei RD-Punkte hinter einem Strauch, um 6 m tiefer zu einem Standplatz und einer C8 abzusteigen. Erneut zwei RD-Punkte zum Abseilen von 4 m. Ankunft auf einem breiten Randstein und am Standplatz der letzten C15. Am Ende der Strecke nehmen Sie den Weg in die entgegengesetzte Richtung des Parkplatzes (tatsächlich Ausgang RG). Dieser führt am Fuße von Nr. 3 und Nr. 4 vorbei. Nachdem Sie diese passiert haben, nehmen Sie den Weg links, der auf den Felsvorsprung hinaufführt, um zum Start von Nr. 4 zu gelangen. - Nr. 3: (Fontaine de l'oule) (Fontaine de Rognac) Eine schöne C18 (Seile 2x25) an zwei Punkten auf der rechten Seite. Es ist auch möglich, eine leere Relaisstation 2 m tiefer zu nehmen, um das Abseilen zu erleichtern. Der Bogen ist eine Kletterroute (Karabiner unter dem Bogen sichtbar). Ausgang auf der rechten Seite, um den Weg zum Parkplatz wieder aufzunehmen. -Nr. 4: Abstieg C1, T2 und C2. Marsch und C15 (Seil 2x25) auf AN in RG (großer Baumstamm, 6 m unterhalb des Wasserfalls abgeschnitten). Dann ein kleiner Abstieg über Felsblöcke (lassen Sie die Seile am Baumstamm, Sie kommen später zurück, um sie zu holen). Ausstieg RG, um den Weg wieder aufzunehmen, der oberhalb der Felsbarriere hinaufführt, um Ihre Seile zu holen und zum nächsten Tal (Nr. 3) zu gelangen. Bei Windgeschwindigkeiten über 80 km/h dürfen diese Abfahrten nicht befahren werden, da sonst eine Geldstrafe durch die ONF verhängt wird. Das Gebiet ist während der Waldbrandgefahr gesperrt.

2025-08-06: Many "home-made" stands (typical for the region). Apart from the one river walk, a beautiful alpine tour.
Comment: Canyon Start
Approach: Follow the road until you reach a wash house and then follow the signs to Alpe Bee, which can be reached via a beautiful old mule track that is almost entirely paved. At a crossroads halfway along the road, ignore the signs for Diogna and continue on the right. After reaching a first house in a meadow, continue straight on past more huts until you reach the main settlement of Bee. Follow the marked path that leads back into the forest and soon reaches the stream.

Approach: Folgen Sie der Straße und steigen Sie vor der ersten Rechtskurve in das trockene Flussbett des „Rio del Grugni” hinab.
Tour: Der erste Teil besteht aus einem Abschnitt zum Wandern, Abseilen und kleinen Abseilstellen in einem bei Niedrigwasser ausgetrockneten Bach (1 Stunde). Dann taucht Wasser auf. Ein erstes Becken (Sprung möglich) führt schnell zum höchsten Wasserfall der Schlucht (28 m). Danach wechseln sich Wanderabschnitte (manchmal ziemlich lang) und herrliche Becken (viele Sprünge möglich) bis zur Ponte di Pau (561 m ü. M.) und dann zur Ponte di Cin (435 m ü. M.) ab, dem Ausgangspunkt des unteren Teils (für dessen Abstieg sind gut 3 Stunden zusätzlich einzuplanen). Ausrüstung etwas leicht. Gurte (viele Bäume am Ufer) und Ausrüstung zum Nachrüsten mitnehmen.

Barbaira (amont): Canyon End
Return: Entweder über den Zugang oberhalb der Barbaira-Schlucht (ca. 45 Min.) oder für Sportlichere mit der Fortsetzung des unteren Abschnitts, vom Staudamm über den Rückweg der Barbaira-Schlucht am rechten Ufer.

Cavalli: Canyon Start
Approach: There are several access points, one direct and quick via a path that has disappeared. Another access follows the path, but is longer in terms of kilometers. You can also take a long shuttle route. - Direct and technical approach: Before the river, you have to go uphill to reach a path that runs above the hamlet. At about 890 m, go left along the cliffs on an apparent path. You pass a rocky outcrop and continue horizontally through two canyons. At 1180 m you reach a small, pleasant high forest. Now climb straight up onto the ridge. There is no path. At around 1450 m, you have to find a path on the left below the cliffs, which is not visible at first. It runs alongside the complex and finally overcomes the bar a few hundred meters before the Cavalli. Now the path runs along the canyon and finally crosses it. (2h30) - Approach without shuttle via the Porcini refuge: continue along the path along the scura. Go under the canyon and at 1190 m turn right onto a path that leads up to the refuge. Continue to the right until you reach the ridge above the Cavalli. On the descent there is a ruin next to a spring. (3h) - Approach with shuttle (40 km): Drive back to Rieti and head towards Terminillo. Continue in the direction of Leonessa. After the CAI refuge, at the 10th hairpin bend, while the road no longer climbs, a dirt road branches off towards the ridge. Park the vehicle without obstruction and follow the track to the Porcini hut and from there to the canyon. (1.5 hour hike)
Tour: After a few jumps and an avoidable waterfall RG, you get to the heart of the issue. The waterfalls line up without interruption and form beautiful sheaves as the canyon flows. The highlight is the 95 m long, two-part waterfall with a smooth wall. The water level paths up as the RD arm arrives. A lengthy part follows, which is an avalanche hazard in winter and takes almost three quarters of an hour. Only at the exit does the canyon narrow again, offering obstacles that break up the descent without being original. No loopholes in the first part. Difficult evasions in between.

Cavalli: Canyon End
Return: Find the path that is RD de la Scura.

Cavalli: Parking at Entry
Access: Approach (downstream): Coming from northern Italy, between Firenze and Rome, take the Orte exit and head towards Terni. Then drive to Rieti and follow the signs to Ascoli Piceno via Antrodoco. Leave the SS4 in the direction of Sigillo. In the village, pass the small bridge over the river Scura and, after the fountain, take the road on the left that leads up the watercourse. This turns into a dirt road that is only open to authorized vehicles. The starting point is in the hamlet of Cassette, just before the track crosses the river Scura. Shuttle service possible, but very long.
Return: Find the path that is RD de la Scura.

Approach: With shuttle: From the Duno parking area, continue along the paved road for about 100 m onto Via San Martino. After a house garden, a trail on the left descends to the streambed near a small aqueduct. Follow the stream for about 100 m to reach the first boulder rappel (45°54'50.8"N 8°44'06.6"E). Approximately 10 min, 10 m ascent (D+) and 40 m descent (D-). Without shuttle: Briefly ascend the Via Crucis in front of the downstream parking and keep right to take the trail called Brevissima. Following this trail leads to a hairpin of the paved road. Cut across the hairpin and continue on the trail on the opposite side, quickly reaching the upstream parking (30–40 min, 190 m D+). From here, continue following the approach described for the shuttle.

Upon reaching the first buildings, ignore the trail on the right (leads to private property) and continue in the channel, pass under the road bridge, and exit on the left bank by climbing the small wall directly below the parking area. Approximately 5 minutes.

Approach: Follow the small road and shortly afterwards you will reach the meadows of Alpe Briasca. Keep to the right and climb up to the last houses on the right. There is a fountain a few meters behind the last house. From there, it is best to climb diagonally uphill (uncomfortable descent...) down to the streambed.
Tour: Beautiful torrent with some nice, deep passages, a few jumps and slides. Similar to its neighbor, the Rio Margologio, but more irregular. Retrieving the ropes is sometimes difficult. Very slippery rock. Equipped with "small French-style chains".

Access: Drive down the valley: Leave the A26 at Domodossola and continue on the SS33 del Sempione. Take the Masera exit and continue on the one-way road. Turn right at the crossroads and cross the railroad line. Continue for about 2 km and turn left towards Trontano. Drive through the village and continue to the bridge over the stream. Park in the parking lot immediately in front of it. Access uphill: Continue after the bridge and turn right at the first junction. Cross the railroad line and turn right again shortly afterwards. Follow the small road that winds uphill to a significant widening at the level of a small chapel where you can park your car. The road is narrow, without guard rails and turns into a dirt track in places. Approach without shuttle: The approach without shuttle is possible via the road, facilitated by a marked path that shortens the long bends of the road (1 hour to Alpe Briasca).
Return: When you reach a dam blocking the stream, rappel one last time and shortly afterwards climb back up in the forest on the right until you find a path that leads down to the road and your car.

Lona: Canyon Start
Approach: Cross the bridge and continue on. When the asphalt exits, follow a level dirt path and then a slightly sloping concrete path past a house. A latticed canal leads to the bridge over the Rio Lona. Immediately afterwards, steps lead to a path on the left bank. Leave this for a "gentle wild boar climb", which ascends steeply via small paths and after 10 minutes of effort meets a good path, which you follow to the dam. The access paths (at the start of the ascent) lead to private property, so behave discreetly and politely.
Tour: After the fill, return to the river and go through the tunnel. 3 abseiling points (5, 10 and 10) and some 2 to 3 m high ledges that have to be jumped over or climbed down. Good hold.

Turn right just after the bridge, signs "Meosü". Park just before the bridge over the Argentina.

Approach: After the bridge, descend to the right side of the river.
Tour: About 26 abseils. Above, after a first hurdle, the steep C26 begins. This first part is a bit steep and narrow, but offers beautiful parts. Cross a path (approx. 500 m altitude), after which it becomes a little more difficult. Then there are beautiful waterfalls again. Then the old bridge, below which are two magnificent waterfalls with deep pools. Then the large pool, very popular with the locals, marks a classic exit (hanging tube). This is followed by a C16, another one to go around on the right and then the final of about 18 meters. Be careful through the passage in the flood protection wall when the current is strong. Very good equipment. Exit options after the 9th and 19th anchors: the road up to Colloro is often nearby. In the last part, before the bridge on the left bank, then at the bridge and afterwards, it is possible to get off at almost every anchor. "Ponte Express": is often practiced, especially by professionals from the area. From the old bridge, walk along the left bank for a few minutes to an access point about 3-4 m high, equipped with a fixed rope and rungs; some waterfalls before the bridge, then the T5 under the bridge. The exit is at the large waterhole, clearly visible from above. Very short, but very beautiful, a real highlight... It is best to park the car in the hairpin bend on the left 1.3 km after leaving the village. From this hairpin bend you can reach the old bridge in 5 minutes (signs).

From there, follow the signs to Colloro. Downhill access: Once you reach the stream, cross it and park on the bank on the right shortly afterwards. Uphill access: Continue along the steep and winding road to Colloro. Pass the village and continue on a small paved road to the parking lot opposite the hydroelectric power plant basin.
Return: A few meters behind the flood protection dam, use the stairs to get back to the right bank.

2025-08-04: Occasionally very rewarding abseils, but very overgrown at the start. A detailed description will be prepared soon.
Approach: Without shuttle: Continue 200 m on foot along the road and after the former Hotel Magenta turn left into a small road (signs "Cascata la Valletta"). After the bridge over Bogna (view of the last waterfall), walk up the right path for 160 m until you reach a stone bench. Climb straight up into the forest on a barely recognizable path without reaching the canyon too soon (so climb slightly to the right). You will come to a building from which a better path leads diagonally to the left up to the dam (Brise Vague), the starting point of the canyon. From the parking lot above, take a path in front of the oratory towards the stream and then descend as best you can along the torrent to the dam.
Tour: 8 abseils from 3 to 32 m; the two biggest waterfalls are beautiful and a bit wet. MC possible to reach the belays (useful for beginners), only the last C32 (with 1 intermediate point) is obligatory and a bit airy...

Approach: We continue on a forest path (compass hiking trail no. 251). This leads us downhill and crosses a stream (Rio Nota) after about 800 m - entry. You can also descend a little earlier on footpaths to the stream as soon as you see it. ( 00h 20' )
Tour: Via this orographic left side stream, after a few small steps, you reach the Vione superiore. Elsewhere (e.g. in "Gole und Canyons") an access from the orographic right side directly into the Rio Sernifa (Vione) is described. Shortly after the confluence of the Rio Nota (with several small slides and jumps) and the Rio Sernifa, you will come to an approx. 9 m long bumpy slide. Immediately afterwards, you can climb back up to the upper parking lot on a path to the left. The 8 m rappel that follows should only be jumped if the depth of the pool is sufficient (check!). The lower part of the Vione (from the road bridge) down to Lake Garda is a pure rappel canyon (16 rappels, max. 45 m, partly exposed access, approx. 3 hours) with unfortunately contaminated water, which can be a risk, especially if there is insufficient flow in midsummer. Access is currently (2012) prohibited. In the meantime, the municipality of Tignalga has issued a comprehensive access regulation for the Vione, the main content of which is the payment of a fee (2012: 2 euros) at the tourist office (ufficio del turismo) in Tignalga.

Access: From Riva del Garda on the northern shore of Lake Garda on the "Gardesana Occidentale" - SS 45 approx. 23.5 km southwards, where the road to Tignale (SP 38) branches off at an acute angle. Follow this road uphill for 2.8 km until the road crosses the "Vione" (the stream is actually called Rio Sernifa) in a sharp right-hand bend. Park the lower car at the bridge. Take the other car uphill for another 4.2 km until the road to Gardola branches off to the left. Go through Gordola and at the northern end of the village turn left onto Via Panoramica towards Aer (571 m above sea level), pass this village on the right until you reach the exit of the tarred road. Park the second vehicle here.
Return: Immediately out onto the road bridge.

2023-01-26: A canyon with jumping opportunities
Approach: First follow the path to the Levada do Pico da Urze, then follow this levada for a short distance to reach the Lajeado canyon. Alternative access: Park in Rabacal, from there an easy 3.5km walk along the Levada de Alecrim to the canyon. If you start here (and not 200m further up), you can save yourself a longer streambed hike, but you will miss R1. If you despair at this easy jump, you can always climb over it from below (more jumps follow anyway).
Tour: We were in the first part, which is particularly suitable for canyoning enthusiasts who love jumping. The highest parts in this part measure 20 meters. The second part follows on seamlessly with an 80-meter cascade. This is followed later by a 130 meter high cascade.

Comment: Die Schlucht beginnt unter der Brücke vor dem Tunnel
Approach: 1) From the fish farm, walk further into the valley until you reach a broken dam. Cross it orographic left (stairs) and follow the path through the forest. At the exit before the river Seixal there is a wooden sign "Lombo Barbinhas". Cross the river here and continue straight ahead towards the mountain (faint tracks). Then follow the steep path uphill (single wooden steps, rotten) until you reach the Levada do Seixal (water channel). Follow this to the right in the direction of flow. About 100 meters later there is a small path that leads further uphill. Follow this until you reach the Levada do Norte. Here we go left in the direction of flow of the levada for 500 m until we reach a bridge and a tunnel. The canyon begins under the bridge. (2h) 2) From the upper parking lot we walk almost north on a wide track ("Terra Cha"). We pass the accesses to Seixal superior and Hortela superior (both on the left). After a good 2.1 km (30 min), we turn left onto the slightly sloping slope. This leads to a hiking trail that descends steeply through the forest to the Levada do Norte ("Vereda do Lombo Barbinhas"). Once you reach the levada, turn right and follow the levada in the direction of flow for 500 meters until you reach a bridge and a tunnel. The canyon begins under the bridge. (45min)
Tour: The canyon begins rather harmlessly with a few short downclimbs and abseils up to a maximum of 15 meters. Then, somewhat unexpectedly, you are confronted with a huge panorama that stretches as far as the parking lot at the fish farm. A 20-meter rope traverse / rappel brings us to the edge of a "mega" waterfall. After another 15 meters, we reach the last, extremely exposed and free-hanging abseil, after which the wall overhangs. From here, the route descends 150 meters into the depths, the first 130 of which are free-hanging. There is only room for 2 people at each belay station, so take ropes with you. On every second tour, the falling ropes fall into unreachable, sharp-edged ledges from which they can no longer be pulled out. There have already been several rescues! After this rappel, there are three more (60, 15, 50 meters), this and the phenomenon described above must be taken into account when planning the rope!

2024-11-26: After a few days of rain, this was a sporty but manageable water level. The high waves, which can be observed beautifully at the level of the final waterfall, were also impressive.
2024-11-07: Everything ok. Nice short stream. The 50er and the cable car at the end make the creek worthwhile.
2024-10-22: Nice, short abseiling tour with exit in the sea. Everything was okay.
Approach: From the parking entry, follow the path on the right that leads towards the mountain and after a few meters crosses a small bridge and then a streambed that is almost always dry. The trail then climbs up the slope parallel to a wall for a few minutes. Depending on the state of maintenance, which varies greatly from year to year, a machete is helpful. Currently (November 2024), the path is very passable, even if it is narrow and exposed in places in the upper section. Finally, the path turns off into the forest and shortly afterwards you reach a large tree with a large blue (also November 2024) sling attached to its roots. (Total approx. 10 minutes) From here, you can rope a good 25 meters into the canyon. The access is marked with a red dashed line on the map provided here.
Tour: 10 abseiling points. The first rappel is the highest waterfall of the tour at approx. 50 meters. After several small drops, the canyon exits with an approx. 30 meter high waterfall, where a rappel guide to the lakeside boundary wall of the road is possible (two glued anchors).

Return: If a car is parked at the exit, the way back is to climb out of the basin. If there is only one car on the tour, turn right along the old ER 101 to the main road. Then turn left through the short tunnel, another 100 meters along the road and then the most strenuous part of the tour follows with the ascent to the car. Fortunately, this is very short.

Access: From Sao Vicente: Drive in the direction of Porto Moniz. Approx. 500 m after the Seixal tunnel, turn left steeply uphill and park at the top next to the picnic table. From Porto Moniz: Drive in the direction of Sao Vicente. Drive through the Faja Contreiras tunnel, then through another short tunnel, 100 meters after that turn steeply right at the top, park at the top next to the picnic table. There is the (less sensible) option of parking a second car at the end of the canyon (exit parking lot), turn off onto the old ER 101 between the short tunnel and the Faja Contreiras tunnel. Sometimes this road is closed. There is often some debris on it, which indicates the risk of falling rocks. After a good 100 meters you reach the final waterfall. Shortly afterwards, you can park your car on the left. When the waves are high, water sometimes splashes over the wall.

Access: From Sao Vicente: Drive in the direction of Porto Moniz. Approx. 500 m after the Seixal tunnel, turn left steeply uphill and park at the top next to the picnic table. From Porto Moniz: Drive in the direction of Sao Vicente. Drive through the Faja Contreiras tunnel, then through another short tunnel, 100 meters after that turn steeply right at the top, park at the top next to the picnic table. There is the (less sensible) option of parking a second car at the end of the canyon (exit parking lot), turn off onto the old ER 101 between the short tunnel and the Faja Contreiras tunnel. Sometimes this road is closed. There is often some debris on it, which indicates the risk of falling rocks. After a good 100 meters you reach the final waterfall. Shortly afterwards, you can park your car on the left. When the waves are high, water sometimes splashes over the wall.
Return: If a car is parked at the exit, the way back is to climb out of the basin. If there is only one car on the tour, turn right along the old ER 101 to the main road. Then turn left through the short tunnel, another 100 meters along the road and then the most strenuous part of the tour follows with the ascent to the car. Fortunately, this is very short. (Total return journey approx. 10 minutes)

Approach: There are many ways to get in. The most exciting is the Botchechlempen. Before that, there are often only a few steps and a lot of scree.
Tour: It's very cold in the Botchechlempen, so you're almost glad you have to walk from time to time afterwards to warm up again. If the stream is not slippery, a few higher, very technical jumps are certainly possible, but usually only the small and medium ones will be feasible. The second part, "Botchechinni", is very narrow, with two very dangerous consecutive glacier potholes, so be careful not to slide into them.

Trümmelbach II: Canyon Start
2025-08-23: If you like alpine canyons, this is certainly one of the best. Very grippy, generally superiore conditions. More serious than the upper part.
Approach: From the parking lot to the train station and take the train to Kleine Scheidegg station and continue by train to the Eiger Glacier. Since the exit of 2020, it has been possible to take the Eiger Express from Grindelwald, which takes you directly to the Eiger Glacier station in 15 minutes. From the Eiger Glacier station, you can hike south along the remains of a moraine down to the riverbed and the start of the canyon. Further up to the official entry point at 2098 m above sea level, there are several small steps and slides in an open but pleasant riverbed.
Tour: The canyon is relatively short, but offers some beautiful abseils in beautifully carved rock and crystal-clear pools. We do not recommend only doing Trümmelbach Il. It is advisable to combine Trümmelbach I and Il or Trümmelbach Il and Ill to make a full-day canyoning tour and it is worth investing the money for the train or cable car ride to the starting point.

Return: There are several options for the way back. If you parked in Lauterbrunnen, your best bet is to hike down to Wengernalp (45min), which is also the station of choice if you add Trummelbach Ill to Trümmelbach II. If you parked in Grindelwald, I would recommend hiking to the Eigergletscher station (1h15min) to return to your car. Whatever you decide, a hike in this region is a great experience in itself.

2024-10-27: As Christoph has described ;)
2024-10-27: Top condition anchors, new ropes at the exit.
Approach: From the parking lot, walk to the train station and take the train to Wengernalp station. From there, take the path heading east, which soon passes under the railroad line. Continue on the path down to the cable car station in the direction of Biglenalp. After the cable car station, follow the path that leads around a mountain ridge. Continue hiking downhill, still in the direction of Biglenalp, until you reach a footbridge over the Trümmelbach (water level control, 1739 m above sea level). Stay on the path on the right bank until the next bridge, where the canyon begins (1715 m a.s.l.). Install/check the exit ropes (1h30 to 2h round trip): Continue on the path along the stream, still on the right bank. After 200 m, you pass houses, then the path continues 200 m into the forest. Cross the fence on the left (pile of stones and red painted dots on the trees) and go down as best you can in the forest (follow the red markings), heading southwest, around small rocks. We walk to a hill (1615 m above sea level), still in a south-westerly direction. Turn left around this small hill and then descend to the south. Watch out for the canyon on the left. As soon as the path is too exposed, you should attach ropes to the trees. A first 65 m rope length in the grassy slope leads past a 4 m high rock. The second pitch of 55 m starts at a tree and leads over cracked slabs (4 cracks, watch out for the stainless steel bolts) down to the stream. When you have finished with the ropes, head back to the starting jetty.
Tour: After a canyon hike, the canyon becomes deeper. An inflow comes from the right bank. The slope is beautiful, abseils follow one after the other until you reach a 15 m high waterfall in a narrow crevasse, which can be a challenge when the water level is high. The canyon now becomes very narrow and dark until it widens near another tributary on the right bank. Long passages lead to a left-hand bend and a wider part with a few more obstacles and the confluence with the main stream. This is where the previously placed ropes are located. Do not go any further in the river (Trümmelbach IV): unless you are prepared. The route is long and can be dangerous as it is exposed to ice avalanches from the Giessen glacier on the left bank.

2024-10-27: Anchors in perfect condition. Water level was about double that of Trümmelbach III and sporty. No avalanche remnants visible in the stream or ice fields on the edge.
2024-10-26: All anchors still in place. No avalanche snow in the canyon. Water level normal but still sporty.
Approach: From the parking lot, walk to the train station and take the train to Wengernalp station. From there, take the path heading east, which soon passes under the railroad line. Continue on the path down to the cable car station in the direction of Biglenalp. After the cable car station, follow the path that leads around a mountain ridge. Continue hiking downhill, still in the direction of Biglenalp, until you reach a footbridge over the Trümmelbach (water level control, 1739 m above sea level). Stay on the path on the right bank until the next bridge, entry Trümmelbach III (1715 m a.s.l.). Continue on the path along the stream, still on the right bank. After 200 m you pass houses, then the path leads 200 m further into the forest. Cross the fence on the left (pile of stones and red painted dots on the trees) and descend as best you can in the forest (follow the red markings), heading southwest, around small rocks. We walk to a hill (1615 m above sea level), still in a south-westerly direction. Turn left around this small hill and then descend to the south. Watch out for the canyon on the left. As soon as the path is too exposed, you should attach ropes to the trees. A first 65 m rope length in the grassy slope leads past a 4 m high rock. The second pitch of 55 m starts at a tree and leads over cracked slabs (4 crevasses, watch out for the stainless steel bolts) down to the stream and the start of the tour. Alternatively, climb after Trümmelbach III.
Tour: Trümmelbach section IV is the longest and potentially most dangerous part of all five sections. It is strongly recommended that you take at least one complete set of crampons, ice axe and ice screws with you. Depending on the conditions, there may still be large patches of snow and ice in the canyon below the Giessen Glacier. In addition, rockfall is to be expected in the area of the Giessen Glacier and a quick crossing of this part is recommended due to unpredictable ice and rockfall. Apart from the potential dangers, this part offers incredibly beautiful sequences in a breathtaking area. On the right hand side, the rock faces rise over 2000m to the Schwarzmönch and the Jungfrau. The canyon is very varied and offers a multitude of different possibilities. Sequences in different rocks, repeatedly interrupted by walking passages. It is not as good and continuous as Trümmelbach Ill or Trümmelbach V. It is ideal to combine this part with Trümmelbach Ill or Trümmelbach V for a strenuous and full day of canyoning.

Comment: Straßenbrücke über Bach
Approach: Continue along the paved road in the direction of Cadero until the road bridge over the stream (46,03,24,9"N 8,45,56,1"E), about 10 minutes. Descend in the river directly from upstream side of the bridge (approx. 15-20 meters).

Rassina: Canyon Start
Approach: From the cable car square, cross the bridge over the Viaschina stream and climb to the right towards Monteviasco, then immediately turn left towards Mulini di Piero. Upon reaching Mulini di Piero, there are two options: 1: stay high and find, at the end of the meadow, a trail that climbs steeply into the forest for about a hundred meters, then sharply turns left (a few cairns and occasional white marks). Upon reaching a more open area with meadow and birches, follow the trail continuing on level ground marked with red; it soon descends to the streambed near the first rappel on the map (50 minutes). Approx. 260 m D+. 2: stay low and follow the path along the Giona River until reaching the mouth of the Rassina stream. Cross the stream (assess the flow) and pass shortly after a mountain hut. The trail begins to climb, but after a few dozen meters, a faint path marked with red paint branches off to the right. This path enters the stream valley, follows the right bank upstream, and finally crosses the stream—this is the starting point of the descent (50 minutes). Entry coordinates: 46°04'43.3"N 8°49'42.5"E

Rassina: Canyon End
Return: Upon reaching the confluence with the Giona River, follow the trail on the left bank back to Mulini di Piero and then to the parking (15 minutes).

Giona: Canyon Start
Approach: With shuttle: from the upper parking area, continue along the dirt road descending into the valley. Ignore the first dirt road on the right and continue straight. Pay attention to the next trail on the right, sometimes barely visible but marked in white/red. This trail continues descending into the valley, reaching the Bolletta huts. After the alpine pasture, a bridge allows you to cross the Giona River. On the opposite bank, entry is possible just upstream of the bridge (46°05'46.2"N 8°50'09.5"E). About 15 minutes for 120 m of elevation loss. Without shuttle: from Biegno, follow the entire paved road to Indemini (about 1h), or (recommended) park directly in Indemini and exit the stream at Ronco. This way, you skip the final part of the canyon but no shuttle is needed.
Tour: 01- C20 (1 dx) 02- C12 (MC 1sx + 1 sx) 03- C8 (nat central) Exit Frèssan 04- C20 (2 sx) Exit Ronco/Valecc 05- C7 (1 sx)

Giona: Canyon End
Return: After the confluence with Valle del Ri (right side), continue along another section that is partially enclosed but free of difficulties. When the riverbed opens up, you will reach the ruins of the historic Pont de Là (46°05'01.8"N 8°49'27.5"E), which recently collapsed. Climb up the right bank (grade II) to reach the now-abandoned trail leading up to Indemini. About 50 minutes for 300 m of elevation gain.

Giona: Parking at Entry
Access: Downstream: from Maccagno, follow the signs for Indemini and the state border along the SP5 road. Once in the village of Biegno, take the first small road on the left as you enter the village to reach the church. In front of the church there are a few parking spaces (46°04'59.4"N 8°48'54.6"E). Upstream: from Biegno, return to the SP5 and continue towards Indemini. Just after the customs and before the village, a road descends to the right (A strada da G’esa). Follow this road; after a couple of switchbacks you will reach a small bridge with some parking spaces (46°05'39.9"N 8°49'38"E). Beyond this point, the road becomes unpaved and offers few parking options.

Cusella: Canyon Start
Approach: With shuttle: from the parking at 758 m, hike towards Monti di Mezzovico, keeping left to reach the last alpine huts at Garzon. Several fountains along the way. From here, follow the trail that enters the valley on a gentle traverse until crossing the stream near 1134 m, which is the canyon entry point (46°05'35.6"N 8°53'03.8"E). Approx. 1h, +350 m elevation gain. Without shuttle: starting on foot from Sigirino (440 m), cross the stream on the north side of the village, then keep left to climb along the trail towards Monti di Mezzovico and the parking at 758 m. This adds another +320 m elevation gain and nearly 1h to the approach.

Cusella: Canyon End
Return: After the last narrows, it is possible to exit immediately on the right bank via a steep slope, reaching the trail that leads to the upper parking in Sigirino, or continue more easily along the streambed until the bridge, where you can exit on the right bank and return to the cars in approx. 5 minutes.

Büelbach: Canyon Start
2025-08-09: beautiful lower part
2024-08-10: Very slippery at the moment and a little wood in places. All in all, a worthwhile ascent.
Approach: The parking lot is located directly by the stream, by a small wooden bridge. Please note that the road and parking are subject to a toll, which can be paid on the way to the entry at a ticket booth on the road for 5 francs. (Do not pay for parking zone 4, which costs 10 francs)
Tour: Mainly rappel (also a lot on trees) and downclimbing. If you are looking for slides or jumps, you can find them, but they are not beautiful. The rock is relatively slippery, some experience in downclimbing is helpful. The walking passages are easily passable.

Magliasina: Canyon Start
Approach: • 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.

Magliasina: Canyon End
Return: 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.

Magliasina: Parking Entry and Exit
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: Follow the hiking trail up to Alpe Melano and then join the trail at the stream.
Tour: At the beginning there are many wide rappels from trees, after the 120m waterfall it becomes narrower and very beautiful. Unfortunately, at the final waterfall of 180m, a large boulder has slipped on the right side and an intermediate belay is no longer there. It would make sense to redrill this intermediate stand on the left side. At the point where it is currently on the right, the rope gets stuck in the waterfall and it is difficult to get it down.

Continue below this along a meadow path into the next ditch. (ATTENTION: the landowners ask that gates/doors be left as they are found AND that the tour is not undertaken during the hunting season in the fall! Thank you!) After the small gate, walk up the ditch and then follow a faintly visible hunters path steeply uphill in the forest. Always keep to the ridge until you reach a ridge head. From here, turn left on a path to the streambed.

Access: From Bovec to Kobarid, always stay on road 203. Once you have passed Kobarid on road 203, you come to a traffic circle where you take the 3rd exit in the direction of Tolmin and Nova Gorica (road 102). Stay on road 102 for approx. 6.1 km until you reach the junction for Kamno. Turn left here towards Kamno and drive over the Soca bridge. In Kamno, drive past the church, keep right and then come to a larger road where you turn off again towards Tolmin. When you pass the exit from Kamno, stay on the road for 1.4 km until you reach the bridge over the Volarja (park a shuttle car here). (N46.213051,E13.656092) Take the 2nd car back to Kamno and stay on the main road. Before you pass through Kamno, take the turn-off to Vrsno. The small road goes uphill until you reach the village of Vrsno after about 4 km. Continue along the road and after 700m you come to the bridge over the Malenscek stream, after another 1.5km you cross another small bridge with a right-hand bend until you reach the bridge at the Brinta stream after another 600m. You can park here both before and after the bridge. (N46.23354,E13.660991) It takes a good 15 minutes to move the vehicle.
Return: You come out directly at the parking lot at the bridge over the "Volarja".

Comment: Einstieg direkt am oberen Parkplatz
Approach: Cross the bridge and follow the forest path on the ortographic left for about 230m. Then comes the first small abseiling point.
Tour: Once you have reached the streambed, you come to the first small rappel point C7 (right), before you have to rappel 25m directly into the water jet. This is followed by 3 smaller abseils, 2 of which can also be jumped. This is followed by a downclimb (approx. 10 m), which is also secured with a fixed rope ortographic right. This is followed by another 25m rappel directly in the water, before a walking passages (approx. 430m). Then you come to a point where you can reach the abseil point on the ortographic right via a rope traverse (this point could also be slid after a previous check). After 2 more rappels you come to a place that can also be abseiled or jumped (C9 right or S7). After another small rappel you come to the vertical highlight of the tour. This is followed by a rappel of approx. 100m, which cannot be rappelled in the water due to the water pressure. There are fixed ropes there because you come to an intermediate belay along the wall ortographic right and have to avoid a pendulum fall at all costs. Therefore, take the fixed ropes for the self-arrest and traverse for about 15m ortographic right to the intermediate belay, which can be quite challenging because the rock quality is not ideal and stones come loose. After the 15m traverse you come to another abseil belay - an intermediate belay. If possible, it is advisable for the entire group to come together at this intermediate belay before the first person rappels the remaining 8m to the main belay. The reason for this is that stones come loose on the 15m traverse (watch out for falling rocks!!!), which then fall in the direction of the main belay. After you have rappelled the 8m from the intermediate belaystation to the main belaystation, the highest rappel of the tour follows at 70m. The traverse before this means that you hardly come into contact with the water, which makes sense, as the waterfall - 100m high in total - pools the water and you don't want to get into it. After the 70m rappel, there are 3 more beautiful rappels in the water before you have a 45-minute strenuous walk and climb in the blocked stream ahead of you. After 45 minutes, the "Mrzli Potok" stream flows in from the ortographic left and after a further 10 minutes you arrive at the dam wall, which you have already seen from the exit bridge. Here you either leave the stream ortographic right or, if the dam wall is jumpable, you have one last jump here and leave the stream also ortographic right under the road bridge.

Bachgraben (-Rothmannbach unt.): Canyon Start
Comment: Zustiegsweg kreuzt Bachgraben
Approach: From the southern exit of the parking lot, head south on the B 305 and after a few meters take the small road on the right before the pass tower. We then follow the forest road, first west and then southwest through the forest above the Rothmannbach stream. We keep left at a white and red barrier and later take a shortcut that leads us back up to the forest road on the left. After a good 30 minutes from the B 305, the track turns to the northwest. It now runs on the orographic left side of the stream ditch. If there is a suitable opportunity, we now descend to the left down to the stream ditch, at the latest at 700m above sea level, where a path branches off to the left over the stream
Tour: At the beginning of the access via the Bachgraben - up to the mouth of the Rothmannbach - there is a lot of block climbing with a few smaller rappels (3). The tour continues in the lower Rothmannbach; see the description there. At the beginning there is talk of "an inflow from left". This is the Bachgraben. Time required: approx. 45 min. in the Bachgaben + approx. 90 min. in the lower Rothmannbach. Rothmannbach. Distance: 650m in the Bachgraben + 1500m in the unt. Rothmannbach.

Tour: You can either start the canyoning tour "downstream" or take a quick look into the cave. At the beginning you have to overcome a short/cold swimming section. Then you go into the cave for a few more minutes (headlamp !!) before continuing for cave divers only. The canyoning tour consists of 7-8 rappels (up to 25m), mostly from trees, before you reach the final rappel on the left (60m). Follow the hiking trail back to the parking lot for about 5 minutes An old entry from the AIC site describes that you can continue along the stream to the parking lot (+ 2 short rappels).

U Viru: Canyon Start
Approach: About 70m in a south-westerly direction down to the river. If we only have 1 vehicle available, we will walk on the orographic right side. First over the Golo, then basically parallel to U Viru. It is up to us where we want to get in and start the tour.
Tour: We hike down the river on smoothly polished granite, enjoying the ambience, taking the occasional dip, combined with no slides or jumps. The tour can drag on quite a bit. Finally, the Golo flows in from the right through a narrow crevice. A few meters later we get off after the two bridges.

Approach: From the viewpoint, follow the old coastal road back towards Sao Vicente. Shortly before the old, now buried tunnel, a steep path goes up on the right-hand side. At the beginning, this is easily recognizable and obvious from the old steps. After a short time, the quality of the old path deteriorates noticeably. The condition becomes worse and worse and more dangerous. If you have a queasy feeling, it is better to turn back immediately. The path is very overgrown in places. Progress is therefore very difficult and slow. After about 200 meters in altitude, the worst is over and the path is once again in a passable condition.
Tour: Beautiful canyon. Anchor points all in good condition, some with high-quality titanium glued anchors. Approx. 20 to 30 meters below the anchor point of the C90, orographic to the right, there is a rock window of the tunnel of the old coastal road ER 101. The canyon can be exited here at high tide or if the waves are too strong. However, there is NO longer a safe way back via the ER101 due to numerous landslides. Large parts of the old road no longer exist! The intermediate stand in the final waterfall is exposed and, depending on the wind, is more or less exposed to the spray. There is only room for two people here. This should be taken into account when planning the rope.

Return: The C90 exits directly below the cliffs on the Atlantic Ocean. The way back along the cliffs is only possible at low tide. It leads orographic right over round stones including small climbing sections. At the trickiest passage, you can climb a rock ledge and rappel from an anchor at the top to escape the waves. The anchor is currently (October 2024) heavily rusted, but will be replaced soon. After a good 30 minutes, the coast becomes flatter and the road can be glimpsed. Shortly afterwards, you can cross under the road in a concrete channel (Corrego da Furna waterfall) and then exit to it. The parking exit is opposite. Without a second car, follow the coastal road through a long tunnel to the parking entry (another 30 min).

2024-02-28: Very beautiful canyon with a really spectacular cascade. Unfortunately a lot of garbage in the canyon. New anchors would significantly enhance and simplify the canyon.
Approach: By car: Follow the road in a wide arc to Faja da Ribeira and take the Vereda da Eira do Mourao path upwards. Unfortunately, the route is not entirely clear at the start, with various similar-looking paths leading between the houses. Follow this path through the mountainside until it crosses the stream at a small bridge. (40 min) With two cars: A short easy trail (Vereda da Eira do Mourao) leads down through the houses at the exit of the road heading south. It crosses the stream at the entry point. It is quite steep in places but well maintained. (15 min)
Tour: At the bridge into the stream, which is usually very slippery here. Downclimbing is virtually impossible. The first anchor is somewhat hidden far ahead on a ledge. Several medium-height abseils warm you up for the 90-meter-high final waterfall. This is conquered using rope traverses and two lengths. You are sure to be watched from the supermarket parking lot! Caution: Always stay on the ropes until the next anchor! The canyon is not optimally equipped (as of early 2024). Some of the next anchor points cannot be reached if you pull off the rope too early! Caution 2: There is room for a maximum of two people at some intermediate points, so this must be taken into account when planning the rope.

2025-04-17: Look carefully for the access route.
2024-06-10: Well equipped. Also some extra anchors to fraction the two 23m rappels should you need them.
Approach: Follow the road, which turns into a path after a few meters. A little later, follow a dry streambed uphill to the left (mostly blue signs (Poco das Pulgas). Initially, the path is logical and self-explanatory, but later there is a risk of missing important junctions and getting lost in the dense forest! Without local knowledge, it is best to use GPS tracks for navigation. The access path exits at R3. Continue upstream to the waterfall (Poco das Pulgas, R2). Now you can see the first two waterfalls. Move here (there is little space at the top), then follow the steep and muddy path on the right bank. It leads closely along a rock face and there is a rope traverse at a tricky passage. Finally you reach the entry point.
Tour: Regardless of whether you start at R1 or R3, the tour begins immediately with the first rappel. The waterfalls follow each other quickly in extremely lush vegetation. In R6 and R7 there are anchor points on the left and right. The orographic ones on the left are extremely uncomfortable and lead through the main stream when the water level is high. It is better to use the glued anchors on the right. The first two are a feeder for the rappel, which is two meters below the edge. The rope sling at the front of the tree should not be used (anymore), the tree is rotten and will eventually fall out of the wall. If the water level is normal, there is a small slide before the last waterfall, then climb out of the pool on the right. If the water level is high, you can rappel down the slide on a single hook. The danger of being swept over the edge by a strong current is real after a slide. In R 8 there are two starting points at the top, after three meters a point as a redirection point (pulling off from the bottom is then somewhat difficult) or another three meters further on a ledge an abseiling point. If this is used, you can walk the canyon with 25 ropes.

2024-06-10: Well equipped. Also some extra anchors to fraction the two 23m rappels should you need them.
Return: After R8, leave the canyon on the left bank and follow the path. This is very unclear in places, disappears in places (then follow the streambed), only to reappear shortly afterwards. Finally, cross the streambed to reach the first junction. Now simply downhill to the car. Attention! After R8 there is also a path that runs along the right bank and starts very invitingly. It leads back to the trail in the forest, but involves a sporty 50 meters of ascent, which you descend again directly.

2024-03-05: At first everything was very overgrown. The amount of water in Terra d'Alem was good, but a lot of water later in Funda. Anchor in Funda very good, in Terra d'Alem not so great in places.
Approach: From the parking lot, walk slightly uphill through the houses to the south. After a good 10 minutes you are at the entry to the Ribeira Funda. Cross the (mostly dry) stream and continue on the poorly visible path until you reach the neighboring gorge (approx. 25 min). From the official parking lot, take the old coastal road heading northwest and follow it until you reach an old, steep tunnel. Follow the road uphill to its exit (approx. 40 min, see above).
Tour: At the beginning, you struggle a little against sometimes prickly undergrowth. In the upper part, there are abseils at heights of 45, 35 and 20 meters. The equipment is OK, but nothing more. Leads into the Ribeira Funda, so that you can continue with the beautiful final passage of the Funda.

2023-09-23: Was part of the first ascent. A real rain creek for times when the surrounding canyons are not feasible. The next day the canyon was almost dry. A few video impressions: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Approach: First continue along the road towards Kunkelspass. After approx. 500m, a forest road branches off to the left. Follow this forest road until a hiking trail continues at its exit. Follow this hiking trail to the canyon.
Tour: The Alpine Canyon initially has rather low rappels. In the mostly open terrain, there are nevertheless some narrower rappels that go right through the middle of the water jet and give the canyon a sporty flair. From the halfway point, the rappels get higher. At the penultimate high rappel, there is an intermediate belay on the orographic right-hand side, directly on the edge of the overhang. The last high waterfall is rappelled in three stages. First it goes down about 10 meters. The second anchor is orographic on the right. If you look down from this anchor, the next intermediate belay is behind the plateau on the orographic right, directly on the edge, approx. 45 m below. From there another 40 m in depth.

Approach: Walk back to Laverezzo and take the first road on the left uphill, over a bridge and on to the mountain village. Continue along the path/steps until you come to a handful of houses where there is a drinking fountain. From there, continue up the path/steps into the forest. From here there are hiking markings. In the forest, follow the canyon upwards until you reach a suspension bridge. Cross this and you have a great view of the pools. You can get off at this bridge later. It may be advisable to lay a short rope in the slope. The slope looks slippery and steep. The 2nd ascent in the forest follows. At some point you reach the height of the river. This is also the entry point.
Tour: On a rappel, the hook is under a large boulder in the watercourse. The first person should be secured there with a man belay and build a rope traverse. However, there should also be an abseil point behind the boulder that is outside the water. Here, too, it would be useful to have a hook in front of the abseiling point to build a rope traverse. When you get back to the suspension bridge at the bottom, you can get off to the left. If you continue, you should have checked the water level in the village beforehand. The water inflow from the Real Agro is difficult to see because of the large boulders. Everything that follows is very watery with long swimming spots. This is followed by great jumpable pools with 30-40m swimming sections. This part takes about 1.5 hours.

Access: Park in Achadas da Cruz at the mountain station for the cable car (Teleferico) (1 car). If you have a 2nd car: Drive back up the road and after 1.2 km take the first right (Rua Juvenal Isidoro de Carvalho). Follow this asphalt road for a good 350 meters and park on the right just before the exit (2 parking spaces by an electricity pylon).
Return: When you reach the sea, turn orographic right (the sea will be on your left). If a high tide cuts off the path at a rock ledge, you can climb it. There is an anchor at the top to rappel down the other side. After a good 15 minutes over rough scree, you can climb 2 to 3 meters up a bad staircase of boulders on the right. At the top, follow the path until it joins a paved road. Now turn left and walk to the valley station of the cable car (45 min). Take this to the top. Pay attention to the travel times and don't forget to pay for your ride at the top (one way 3 euros (October 2024)). If the cable car does not run (wind, too late, defective), there is the option of climbing 200 meters northeast of the cable car via the Vereda do Calhau to the top station. The path initially leads up steep steps through the Ribeira do Tristao canyon. Keep right at the fork. (450 m, 75 min).

Approach: If 1 car is available, take the path described above on foot (approx. 25 minutes). Then turn right and walk the few meters to the exit of the concrete road, follow the path downhill. Cross the slope and continue downhill (the path gets a little lost here). Turn right at the ruined house and follow the more or less mown path. It leads along an edge slightly above former fields. At the exit, turn left downhill through the bamboo, past two ruins. Continue along the mown path, keeping straight ahead at any junctions, the left-hand arms are former attempts at access. Another ruin. Turn right here into the small "forest" and continue along the highest part towards the sea. A few sawn-off trees serve as a guide. Finally, you are at the edge of the sea, which breaks in waves on the pebble beach over 500 meters further down. Descend the dusty and slippery boulder field on the left and keep left at its foot through the bamboo towards the audible stream. Sawed-off branches and trees here and there can serve as orientation. (1 hour from the cable car station, 35 minutes from the 2nd car)
Tour: The tour begins immediately with the first rope traverse/rappel combination, both from trees. Further abseils follow in quick succession up to a height of 25 meters, here and there a few blackberry bushes grow in the canyon, garden shears can be helpful. The first rappels are abseiled over rope rings around trees. Finally, there are abseiling points where solid rock has made it possible to drill titanium anchors. After the second higher waterfall, a short walking passages follows and you stand at the edge of the huge waterfall, which is abseiled in 5 lengths: MC 8, C50, C40, small pool with some space,MC 8, C60, minimum walking passages, C10, C40. This is followed by the Igreja inferior, there is a theoretical possibility to get out via an old path, but the path from here is extremely exposed and currently (October 2024) can only be walked on with a very high risk of falling due to landslides, often the path is not usable after landslides. This is definitely an EMERGENCY exit. It starts on the right bank between the knee-high plants. In the Igreja inferior there are 9 more abseiling points up to 50 meters.

Sarpdere: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot (for entry) we now continue down the slope and after about 550m we come to the bridge over the Sarpdere. Now we walk down the right bank of the stream and after about 200m we come to the beginning of the gorge - entry. If we only have 1 car at our disposal, we can follow the route on foot as described. However, there is also the option of taking the "Lycian Way" to the entry point. To do this, we continue from the car on the tarred road in the direction of Faralya. After 700m we come to the "Gül Market" (righthand side). A few meters before we leave the road and follow the sign "Watermill Hotel" uphill to the left. We pass the watermill (on the righthand side) and then cross the stream that feeds the Butterfly Canyon. We are now on the "Lycian Way" (Likya Yolou 2.01) and follow it until we reach the bridge over the Sarpdere stream at an altitude of 545m. At the fork in the path shortly before reaching the stream, we leave the Lycian Way to the left.
Tour: Small rappel in narrow and winding corridors, see photos.

Sarpdere: Parking at Exit
Access: From the town of Fethiye on the southern Aegean, we drive about 12 km south to Olüdeniz, a tourist stronghold beautifully situated on a bay with a lagoon and sandy beach. Towards the exit, the road descends steeply into the village. Where it begins to level out again - about 400m before reaching the coastal promenade - we turn left onto Kidiral CD in the direction of Faralya. The road initially walks towards the slope and, as soon as it reaches the foot of the slope, turns right and heads south, gradually ascending along the coast (beautiful view of Olüdeniz). About 3.4 km after turning onto Kidiral CD, we drive around a large hotel complex located directly on the coast. The road now climbs steeply, partly in serpentines, and after a total of almost 8 km we reach the canyon rim above the Kelebekler Vadisi. The road branches off here, we keep to the right at the canyon rim and reach the crossing of "our" stream 1.3 km after this fork in the road in a right-hand serpentine. There is space to park 1 car here. If there is no parking here, there is another parking space on the right-hand side of the road about 100m further on. With a second car, we would drive another 1.3 km back to the aforementioned road junction and turn right uphill at a sharp angle. We now drive uphill for another 2.5 km. Then, at the exit of a long left-hand bend, we turn right onto a dirt road and arrive at our parking lot for the entry on the next right-hand bend.
Return: After the canyon exit in a few minutes to the road where the car is parked.

Gaisalmklamm: Canyon Start
2024-06-23: Definitely climb higher! (as described, you come cross-country through mountain pines, side arm at risk of falling and falling rocks, access was longer for us than the canyon itself) Great high rappel...
2020-10-04: Great fun for those that like alpine canyons with high rappels! The ascent and the way back take some effort though. Anchors (usually old single bolts) were in pretty bad shape when we were there in 2...
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the signs to the Koglalm (45 min). From there, follow a difficult to recognize path up the ridge (at the beginning still a forest path, thinning out more and more). As soon as you reach flatter and more open terrain (approx. 1600 meters altitude), traverse southwards. If you stay at about this altitude, you will find a small "side gorge" that leads into the Gaisalmklamm (with a lot of scrambling and danger of falling rocks!). The better alternative is to climb another 100 - 200 m further up (at the upper exit of the mountain pines) and then enter from above via the scree slope.
Tour: Many high abseils and beautiful views. The canyon starts very open, but becomes quite incised towards the exit, although it is never extremely narrow. Brittle limestone with old anchors (two new anchors set in 2020, 2024, but take a drill // emergency drill set with you). Some places have to be downclimbed. Alternatively, many anchors are still missing to rappel these places.

Seeache: Canyon Start
2024-10-28: Beautiful short canyon. Unfortunately, the water was very murky. Great for beginners or children's groups
2024-09-06: Average canyon but still scenic. We didn't need a harness or ropes. We walked back through the canyon - so the tour can be done in 2 directions (at least when there is little water).
2023-09-23: Super easy tour under normal water conditions. Great for whitewater practice during high water conditions. Lots of jumps, deep pools. Very open "canyon".
Comment: Start
Approach: From the upper parking lot, head northwest, cross the bridge and follow the path into the river.
Tour: Many jumps (up to 6 - 7 m) and a few slides. Can be done with quite a lot of water, but then requires whitewater skills. Often run by commercially guided groups. By no means a deep canyon, but fun for beginners or children. If you use the water level indicator "Unterer Walchen", 50 cm is still quite feasible, but not without it. With perfect knowledge of the canyon and good white water skills, it is possible to climb at 80 - 90 cm. However, this can be quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. At higher water levels you should take your white water kayak or raft with you!

Gerra: Canyon Start
Approach: Approach: With shuttle: from the upper parking area, follow the flat path leading towards the alpine pasture, gain altitude with a couple of switchbacks, and exit the pasture in the direction of Monti di Sant’Abbondio. Ignore a couple of tributaries until you reach the main branch of the Gerra stream (46°06'37.9"N 8°47'58.7"E). About 25 minutes for 100 m of elevation gain. Without shuttle: from the lower parking area, first follow the paved road towards Monti di Gerra. At Cheventino, you can then take the trail to cut a few switchbacks. Once at Monti di Gerra, follow the same directions as for the shuttle approach. About 1h 30min for 630 m of elevation gain.

Gerra: Parking at Entry
Access: Downstream: reach the small village of Gerra (Gambarogno) and park at the beach parking area, right next to the stream (46°07'21.4"N 8°47'01.3"E), at a cost of 1 CHF per hour. Upstream: return to Via Cantonale, turn left crossing the bridge, then turn right onto the road that climbs up to Monti di Gerra. At Monti di Gerra there is a large parking area on the hairpin bend just before the barrier (46°07'06.9"N 8°48'03.2"E).
Return: After the last vertical drop, there is a long stretch of walking along the streambed, about 800 m, until reaching a flood-control wall. Here you can enter the tunnel on the right and quickly return to the village and the cars. About 45 minutes for 250 m of elevation loss.

Dirinella: Canyon End
Return: After the last 45 m rappel, continue along the streambed for about 400 m, paying attention to locate the trail on the right bank that climbs to the small chapel seen during the approach. It may be helpful to descend during the approach to memorize the exit point. Then follow the approach trail in reverse (approximately 30 min for 200 m of descent, D-).

Dirinella: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking area, enter the historic center following signs for Monti di Caviano. Climb between the houses until reaching the paved road at a helicopter landing pad; at the barrier closing the dirt road, the trail to Monti di Caviano (Sentiero Cento Campi) starts on the right. While ascending, near a small chapel, locate on the right the trail descending to the streambed, which will be used for the exit. The trail later rejoins the road, leaving it shortly after to reach a panoramic viewpoint (small chapel) and Monti di Caviano. Upon entering the alpine pasture, keep right and identify the flat trail toward Monti di Pino. The trail enters the valley and soon reaches the Dirinella Stream. Descend on the left bank alongside the stream to reach the canyon entry point (46°05'58"N 8°46'12"E). Approximately 1 h 10 min for 375 m of ascent (D+).

Dirinella: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Caviano (CH), reach the hamlet of Scaiano and park in the obvious parking area at the end of the road (in front of the historic center) (46°06'11.7"N 8°45'41.5"E).
Return: After the last 45 m rappel, continue along the streambed for about 400 m, paying attention to locate the trail on the right bank that climbs to the small chapel seen during the approach. It may be helpful to descend during the approach to memorize the exit point. Then follow the approach trail in reverse (approximately 30 min for 200 m of descent, D-).

2024-07-09: Cool day, but quite long, just to get from Bellinzona/Locarno to Indemini you have to ride for almost an hour. Very slippery in places, so even quite small jumps suddenly become much more challenging...
2023-09-09: 1 and 2 can be done once 3 and 4 are worthwhile.
Comment: Start Part 1
Approach: > Part 1: from 1410 m to 1290 m (120 m descent). Length: 200 m. From the Monti Idacca parking area, briefly continue uphill on the paved road until you find on the right the trail to Monti Sciaga and Alpe di Montoia. At the junction, keep left and climb toward Alpe di Montoia. Once on the ridge (1560 m), continue briefly toward the alpe and then descend steeply into the valley (meadow) in the direction of Alpe Vecchio (150 m descent). Upon reaching the streambed, follow the torrent until you find the first obvious waterfall (46°05′19.4″N 08°51′14.6″E). About 2 hours for 380 m of ascent and 3.5 km in length. >Part 2: from 1290 m to 960 m (330 m descent). Length: 900 m. From the Monti Idacca parking area, briefly continue uphill on the paved road until you find on the right the trail to Monti Sciaga. Follow the signs to Monti Sciaga, pass the alpine pasture, and continue up to the locality of Piancader (underground cistern). From the cistern, climb the meadow up to the first trees; on the right, a trail descends first toward the forest (Piancalunga) and then enters the valley decisively (blue and pink markers). After crossing several tributaries, you finally reach the Laveree Torrent (46°05′18.5″N 08°51′06″E). About 1h 30min for 200 m of ascent and 3.7 km in length. > Part 3: from 960 m to 780 m (180 m descent). Length: 770 m. To reach the start of Part 3, follow the directions for Part 3 until you arrive at Alpe Laveree. At the end of the meadow, climb into the forest between old huts until you intercept a flat trail. Follow the trail to the right (cairns), entering the valley and gradually gaining elevation until you reach the torrent shortly after the confluence with the Asino Torrent (46°05'13.8"N 8°50'28"E). About 1h for 140 m descent and 200 m ascent. > Part 4: from 780 m to 690 m (90 m descent). Length: 550 m. From the Indemini parking area, continue descending on the road, which is now unpaved, ignoring the first road on the right and shortly afterward finding the trail to Alpe Bolletta. Once at Alpe Bolletta, cross the bridge over the Giona and keep to the right, following the signs for Alpe Laveree and Monteviasco. Upon reaching the bridge over the Laveree, you can assess the water flow. From the bridge, continue to the huts of Alpe Laveree (46°05'24.1"N 8°50'02.4"E), where it is possible to enter in order to do only the lower section. About 30 minutes for 140 m descent.
Tour: At the beginning it is quite bouldery but still vertical; afterward it becomes briefly less interesting, but as soon as the Asino tributary joins, the gorge regains its appeal, as the pools are finally large enough for jumping, and some of the waterfalls are quite graceful in shape. > Part 1: 1 h 01- C8 (nat dx) 02- C30 (1 sx) 03- C25 (MC nat dx + 1 sx) 04- C20 (1 dx) 05- C12 (1 sx) 06- C18 (1 sx) 07- C15 (1 central) > Part 2: 3-4 h 08- C17 (MC 2 dx + 2 dx) 09- C12 (2 sx) 10- C8 (2 sx) 11- C15 (nat sx) 12- C7 (1 central) 13- C17 (2 sx) 14- C10 (1 sx) 15- C9 (1 sx) 16- C15 (2 sx) 17- C9 (2 sx) 18- C30 (2 sx) 19- C22 (MC 1 sx + 2 sx) 20- C12 (2 sx) 21- C15 (nat sx) 22- C10 (1 dx) 23- C12 (1 dx) 24- C8 (1 sx) 25- C9 (1 dx) 26- C10 (nat sx) 27- C7 (1 dx) 28- C30 (2 sx) 29- C10 (1 dx) 30- C10 (1 sx) 31- C15 (1 sx) 32- C12 (2 sx) River Asino 33- C8 (1 sx) dis > Part 3: 1-2 h 34- C6 (nat dx) 35- C8 (1 dx) 36- C20 (nat sx) 37- C15 (2 sx) 38- C8 (1 sx) 39- C25 (2 sx) 40- C10 (2 sx) 41- C20 (2 sx) 42- C20 (2 sx) 43- C12 (2 sx) 44- C15 (2 sx) > Part 4: 1 h 45- C8 (1 sx) 46- C20 (2 sx) 47- C18 (MC 1 sx + 1 sx + 2 sx) 48- C23 (1 dx) 49- C8 (1 sx) 50- C25 (MC 1sx + 2 sx) River Giona 51- C4 (1 dx)

Access: Downstream access: Going up Val Veddasca, cross the Italy–Switzerland border along Via Cantonale and, just before the village of Indemini, take a road that descends to the right (Stráda da G'ésa) following the sign for the church of San Bartolomeo. After two hairpin bends, keep descending straight ahead until the end of Via I Prèd, where there are some free parking spots before the dirt road begins (46°05'40.0"N 8°49'37.4"E). Upstream access: Return to Via Cantonale and continue up Val Veddasca to Monti Idacca. Just below the village (Via Indemini) there are some free parking spaces on the right (46°06'08.4"N 8°50'34.3"E).
Return: Part 1: via the approach trail of Part 2 (1h 15’). Part 2: after the confluence with the Asino Torrent and the subsequent C8, it is possible to exit on the right (46°05'13.8"N 8°50'28"E), following in reverse the approach trail of Part 3 (cairns). About 45 min for 200 m descent and 140 m ascent. Part 3: after the last rappel, walk about 200 meters in the streambed until you reach the area near Alpe Laveree, where you can easily exit on the right bank and return along the comfortable approach trail of Part 4. About 30 minutes for 140 m ascent. Part 4: upon reaching the Giona River, descend it briefly with a downclimb and a nice jump (C4). On the right, you will then see the waterfall of the Valecc Torrent and shortly after the ruined hut of Alpe Ronco (46°05'27.5"N 8°49'45.5"E). Behind the hut, a steep trail (blue markers) climbs the steepest part of the slope and then, with some switchbacks, reaches Canora. From here, a comfortable path leads back to the cars. About 50 minutes for 200 m ascent.

Part 3: after the last rappel, walk about 200 meters in the streambed until you reach the area near Alpe Laveree, where you can easily exit on the right bank and return along the comfortable approach trail of Part 4. About 30 minutes for 140 m ascent. Part 4: upon reaching the Giona River, descend it briefly with a downclimb and a nice jump (C4). On the right, you will then see the waterfall of the Valecc Torrent and shortly after the ruined hut of Alpe Ronco (46°05'27.5"N 8°49'45.5"E). Behind the hut, a steep trail (blue markers) climbs the steepest part of the slope and then, with some switchbacks, reaches Canora. From here, a comfortable path leads back to the cars. About 50 minutes for 200 m ascent.

Comment: Start Part 2
Approach: > Part 1: from 1410 m to 1290 m (120 m descent). Length: 200 m. From the Monti Idacca parking area, briefly continue uphill on the paved road until you find on the right the trail to Monti Sciaga and Alpe di Montoia. At the junction, keep left and climb toward Alpe di Montoia. Once on the ridge (1560 m), continue briefly toward the alpe and then descend steeply into the valley (meadow) in the direction of Alpe Vecchio (150 m descent). Upon reaching the streambed, follow the torrent until you find the first obvious waterfall (46°05′19.4″N 08°51′14.6″E). About 2 hours for 380 m of ascent and 3.5 km in length. >Part 2: from 1290 m to 960 m (330 m descent). Length: 900 m. From the Monti Idacca parking area, briefly continue uphill on the paved road until you find on the right the trail to Monti Sciaga. Follow the signs to Monti Sciaga, pass the alpine pasture, and continue up to the locality of Piancader (underground cistern). From the cistern, climb the meadow up to the first trees; on the right, a trail descends first toward the forest (Piancalunga) and then enters the valley decisively (blue and pink markers). After crossing several tributaries, you finally reach the Laveree Torrent (46°05′18.5″N 08°51′06″E). About 1h 30min for 200 m of ascent and 3.7 km in length. > Part 3: from 960 m to 780 m (180 m descent). Length: 770 m. To reach the start of Part 3, follow the directions for Part 3 until you arrive at Alpe Laveree. At the end of the meadow, climb into the forest between old huts until you intercept a flat trail. Follow the trail to the right (cairns), entering the valley and gradually gaining elevation until you reach the torrent shortly after the confluence with the Asino Torrent (46°05'13.8"N 8°50'28"E). About 1h for 140 m descent and 200 m ascent. > Part 4: from 780 m to 690 m (90 m descent). Length: 550 m. From the Indemini parking area, continue descending on the road, which is now unpaved, ignoring the first road on the right and shortly afterward finding the trail to Alpe Bolletta. Once at Alpe Bolletta, cross the bridge over the Giona and keep to the right, following the signs for Alpe Laveree and Monteviasco. Upon reaching the bridge over the Laveree, you can assess the water flow. From the bridge, continue to the huts of Alpe Laveree (46°05'24.1"N 8°50'02.4"E), where it is possible to enter in order to do only the lower section. About 30 minutes for 140 m descent.
Tour: At the beginning it is quite bouldery but still vertical; afterward it becomes briefly less interesting, but as soon as the Asino tributary joins, the gorge regains its appeal, as the pools are finally large enough for jumping, and some of the waterfalls are quite graceful in shape. > Part 1: 1 h 01- C8 (nat dx) 02- C30 (1 sx) 03- C25 (MC nat dx + 1 sx) 04- C20 (1 dx) 05- C12 (1 sx) 06- C18 (1 sx) 07- C15 (1 central) > Part 2: 3-4 h 08- C17 (MC 2 dx + 2 dx) 09- C12 (2 sx) 10- C8 (2 sx) 11- C15 (nat sx) 12- C7 (1 central) 13- C17 (2 sx) 14- C10 (1 sx) 15- C9 (1 sx) 16- C15 (2 sx) 17- C9 (2 sx) 18- C30 (2 sx) 19- C22 (MC 1 sx + 2 sx) 20- C12 (2 sx) 21- C15 (nat sx) 22- C10 (1 dx) 23- C12 (1 dx) 24- C8 (1 sx) 25- C9 (1 dx) 26- C10 (nat sx) 27- C7 (1 dx) 28- C30 (2 sx) 29- C10 (1 dx) 30- C10 (1 sx) 31- C15 (1 sx) 32- C12 (2 sx) River Asino 33- C8 (1 sx) dis > Part 3: 1-2 h 34- C6 (nat dx) 35- C8 (1 dx) 36- C20 (nat sx) 37- C15 (2 sx) 38- C8 (1 sx) 39- C25 (2 sx) 40- C10 (2 sx) 41- C20 (2 sx) 42- C20 (2 sx) 43- C12 (2 sx) 44- C15 (2 sx) > Part 4: 1 h 45- C8 (1 sx) 46- C20 (2 sx) 47- C18 (MC 1 sx + 1 sx + 2 sx) 48- C23 (1 dx) 49- C8 (1 sx) 50- C25 (MC 1sx + 2 sx) River Giona 51- C4 (1 dx)

2024-05-10: After the winter everything is OK, all stands are in place. A new stand was set up at waterfall 4, as there is too much water at the main stand for a dry ascent.
Approach: From Kote 900 follow the road to the official parking lot of the Bertahütte at 1150m above sea level (30min). After the barrier, continue up the gravel road for another 250m and turn west at the first path. After 100m at the Futterkrippe, ascend the slope without a path in a SW direction to the rock faces approx. 150m, at the foot of the wall continue in a SW direction and you can already recognize the small saddle that you have to climb with all fours. Once at the saddle, either rappel 20m from the thick spruce or descend very steeply over ledges/scree into the high forest. In the high forest, continue slightly downhill to the west to the stream. Follow the stream for 10 minutes and you are at the first rappel/climbing point.
Tour: 1: tree abseil, 7m, possibly climbing bar 2: the split waterfall, 15m, chain left 3: the step fall, 15m, chain right, watch out for sharp edges, stay close to the water. 4: the wet ramp, very slippery, 6m, chain left 5: Main waterfall, 18m, chain right high up, you can rappel right next to the waterfall, 2x25m rope necessary. If you rappel a little drier 6m next to it, 2x30m are necessary. There is also an emergency exit rope out into the forest. 6: Bröselkante rappel, 6m, chain left at the top of a harness area. Return 30-45min along the stream, in between small climbing sections, a short old aluminum ladder and countless crossings of the stream. At the scree barrier 1 min to the car.

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

Ri Di Canigg: Canyon Start
Approach: 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.
Tour: At the beginning beautiful abseiling point(s) followed by a varied river walk with beautiful individual sections.

Torrente Caltea: Canyon Start
2024-05-11: Solo trip through this rarely climbed tour. A handful of beautiful passages and a great finale in the Barcis reservoir, but also a lot of slippery block climbing.
Approach: Follow the road uphill, at the 20th post for the crash barrier a gently descending path begins (small cairn) which you follow to the stream.
Tour: Easy downclimbs lead to a 2m slide, a swimming passage and a beautiful rock arch. Then briefly through a low rock channel before you reach the highest abseil point. 16m from an anchor with a chain link in a massive channel. Immediately afterwards there is a 3m slide. This passage can also be rappelled orographic to the right of a tree. Continue descending and swimming through low rock channels to the next 14m abseil from a ring bolt on the left. If there is a lot of water, you should avoid being washed left into the cave next to the waterfall. Downclimb briefly through more open terrain until you find the next 2m abseil point on the right under a large clamping block. From here, the bottom of the gorge is covered with large, round and slippery boulders. The downclimb is confusing and tedious until you reach a block the size of a house. At the belay on the left (in the water jet), the lugs were missing in 2024, but to the right of the block you will find a 7m abseil stand which you can reach by means of a downclimb under a smaller clamping block. After that it is only a short block climb until you reach the narrow final gorge via a magnificent 8m jump. The jump could also be rappelled to the left using a chain. In the gorge there are several small downclimbs and an interesting semi-siphon under a giant boulder. After two bridges and a statue of the Madonna on the left in a rocky corner, the gorge exits into the warm water of the reservoir. Swim out briefly to the right and get out near a concrete pier.

Approach: Follow the road briefly to a house, then turn right up a sand road to a fountain where hiking trail 579 crosses. Cross the hiking trail to the right into the valley and join it at a wooden bridge. You can also climb half right at the fountain up to 800m on a path. In this part, however, there are only downclimbs and a 15m rappel.
Tour: 7 rappels up to 40m, some of which can also be jumped. Possible jumps up to 12m. In the Maé, drift down another 100m before you can get out on the right in the area of a landslide. Whether you can continue through the depth and 4.5km long gorge of the Mae would have to be tried out by a group experienced in white water.

Approach: From the parking lot, head north into the small village and follow the hiking trail at Säga. At first, the path leads leisurely across meadows, then it becomes a little steeper in the forest up to about 917 m above sea level, where you meet a gravel road. Follow this up to around 1251 m above sea level and then turn right and follow the road down towards Schneeflocht. The entry point is at the bridge.
Tour: The tour begins comfortably with an easy descent to around 1235 m above sea level. After the first two abseiling points at 1100 m above sea level, you are in the canyon and there are no more emergency exits (but you should always find places safe from flooding). This is where the high risk of falling rocks begins. Parts for walking and descending follow again and again, interrupted by individual abseiling points. The last abseiling point is at around 650 m above sea level (a 100 m high waterfall with little water can be seen on the right). After that, it's just a walk and descent to 556 m above sea level, where you reach a bridge.

After that, it's just a walk and descent to 556 m above sea level, where you reach a bridge.

Lawenabach: Waypoint
Comment: Hier dem Wanderweg Richtung Lawena folgen
Approach: From the parking lot, head north into the small village and follow the hiking trail at Säga. At first, the path leads leisurely across meadows, then it becomes a little steeper in the forest up to about 917 m above sea level, where you meet a gravel road. Follow this up to around 1251 m above sea level and then turn right and follow the road down towards Schneeflocht. The entry point is at the bridge.

2024-07-09: Only interesting as collector's canyon. Wild approach on a very faint (animal) trail in high grass, right bank via the ruins of Stalle Costa Spessa. We completed/made redundant the more riskful caving...

Torrente Variola: Canyon Start
Comment: Einstieg Rio Mulino
Approach: Shortly on the road until a good path leads downhill to Torrente Glagno. In the valley upstream, over the bridge and with many hairpin bends up to Stavoli, a village without road access. Descend through the village, past several guard basins until you cross a side stream of the Rio Mulino, descend here on a path that is clear at first to a dilapidated mill on the Rio Mulino. Descend in the streambed or to the right of it to the first abseil point. If you only want to walk the Variola, you can take the path on the right bank to Variola, which you reach above a small gorge.
Tour: Rio Mulino: forest gorge with three rappels up to 30m, on the last rappel descend via the large basin to Torrente Variola. Torrente Variola: Great canyon with a few beautiful pools. 2 rappels (1.5m from clamping block on the right, 8m from anchor on the left). Mostly hiking in beautiful surroundings. After the last narrow section, the canyon opens up and a stream with a gravel bed comes in from the right. Here you can exit to the left onto a path (2 secured passages) Otherwise continue down the streambed and stay in the glagno until after the railroad tunnel (a few jumps possible).

Comment: ca bei 780hM
Approach: The ascent is orthogr. right. Especially the first 5 minutes are practically pathless; just steeply uphill (keep left) Once you have found the path, follow it uphill for a good 60 minutes with the help of the RED trail markings; partly exposed, secured with steel cables and often with several possibilities (make it shorter or longer, ...) you go up; at about 800 hm a path points right to the stream entry at about 750 hm The path is roughly marked on the Swiss topographic view, on OSM etc. nothing is currently visible.
Tour: First some shorter rappels (max. 35m). Then you reach the high edge; this is divided into approx. 55m / 50m / 15m / 35m. At the second higher abseil, after approx. 20m to the right of the water course, you reach the belay for the final C50 Thanks to Lars , Luci ,..etc for setting it up and making it "public"

Deos/Goura : Parking Entry and Exit
2024-06-04: On the 1st higher rappel, the amount of water tripled. No idea why. The amount of water was not a problem, but a bit scary....
Access: From Ioannina, take the A2 highway in the direction of Thessaloniki and take exit 6a (M. Peristeri/ Votonosi/ Chrysovitsa). Then follow the road to Paliochori on the right.
Return: When the canyon opens up, you come to a concrete wall, after which a dirt road begins about 25 m to the right, which you follow. At the first junction turn right up to the road in about 30 - 40 minutes.

Approach: From the asphalt road, turn right onto the slope and follow it to the second hairpin (right). An indistinct path descends to the stream.
Tour: The tour begins with short rappels, which can be done dry or in water. A headlamp is an advantage in the dark part. There are no jumps or slides, the tour itself is very slippery. The cave part is beautiful. 2 rappels in the dark part.

Approach: Continue along the road until a path branches off to the right towards "Alpe Costa". Once you reach the huts, continue slightly uphill on the trail. As soon as the streambed becomes accessible, leave the trail and descend to the water. The first anchor is somewhat hidden in the vegetation.

Approach: On the RD: ascent to Bissoggio. At the highest point of the village, turn right towards Alpe Solia. Cross the Rovine tributary and continue to Alpe Solia di Fuori (alt. 753m). Continue slightly uphill for another 450 m to Alpe Solia di Dentro (alt. 795 m). Shortly after a fountain, descend to the right and after the 3rd house at a stone slab, descend steeply into the forest on a very inconspicuous path. The Raduno topographic view 2018 indicates that the descent can be made through an old canal if in doubt... 15 to 20 minutes descent. Approach RG: With the 4.4 km shuttle bus: From the bridge, follow the small road south, climb up to Cardezza, pass the hamlet and turn left towards Marzone. Follow the road until you reach a hiking sign below a magnificent chalet (Marzone: 50 min, 2 places). Or you can drive a little further and park near the prohibition sign (parking lot 200 m after the sign)... The path is therefore forbidden, but a quick drop-off should be "possible"... From Marzone you reach the highest house, via a small road you reach the helicopter drop zone. From there, follow the path that always runs horizontally and always turn left. After the first junction, the path is unmarked but obvious.
Tour: Long and challenging route aimed at trained teams.

Approach: Pass the barrier and reach the former quarry; cross the stream and then follow the yellow-marked path. At the GR51 marker (450 m), continue straight ahead (the ruins of La Virette on your left) until you come to a large scree slope. Then leave the path and follow this scree which leads to the stream (40 min).
Tour: After about 10 minutes on foot you come to an unsecured, hollowed-out narrow passage C6, which leads to a pool (jump?). A short footpath leads to the intermediate step C12, the base of which can be reached on foot from the path. Continue by belaying the last 28 m high waterfall, which falls into a water basin.

Approach: Approach to the Notre Dame de la Garde parking lot (15-20 minutes): Walk along the road to the gate with the Cap Canaille sign. Go through the gate and follow the well-marked path to the ruins (green markings). You can also reach the ruins via another clearly visible path that starts on the road before the gate. At this point, take the path on the right that descends towards the Trou Jeannette ravine. Climb up the other side through the low bushes and you will reach an abandoned house that is still in good condition. Enjoy the unique view. You have now reached the edge of the area. Do not attempt to take the track or go through the gates from the road. The locals are vigilant and there is a high risk of conflict. Approach to the area from the Sémaphore car park (30 minutes): from the car park, take a clearly visible path below the road. Follow it for a few meters and, once you have passed the semaphore, leave it for a path marked with triangles and blue dots. This trail descends along the magnificent cliffs to the first abseil point at Lou Pitchoun or Lou Souléou. From the house, follow the trail for 150 m and turn left onto the path that climbs into the bushes (blue markings). At the first fork, turn left (large rusty barrel) and the start is 50 m further on. The canyon begins with a pseudo-tributary on the right bank of the first ravine encountered, forming a black mark on the rock. The first belay point is located at a small pine tree (a strap on this pine tree connected to a bolt in the conglomerate).
Tour: The first rappels go smoothly. One of them is overhanging and drops onto a wide ledge that can be climbed back up (Grands Ducs vertigo hike). We continue the descent to the last “plateau.” From there, there is the last rappel, “Cathy,” which is overhanging and ends on large pebbles at sea level.

Approach: Climb up to the needle, there is a small tree to which the rope is attached to get to the canyon.
Tour: Above the entry, the canyon is not worthwhile. Vertical descent. A belay station has been set up halfway up the last large waterfall. This is interesting as you only need to take 25 m ropes with you and the ropes are less exposed to friction halfway up the first abseil section. The south-west exposure is ideal for starting the descent in the early afternoon in the early and late season.

Access: From Ventimiglia (Italy), drive up the Roya Valley. 3.4 km after the junction for Fanghetto (Canyon Audin), take the D90 towards Libre. As it is better not to organize a shuttle, leave your vehicle upstream. Access upstream: follow this narrow road and park 100 meters before hairpin bend no. 5 (the hairpin bends are numbered in color). NOTE: Anything upstream is worthless and only serves as a garbage dump.
Return: From the paved plateau at the foot of the last waterfall, climb up to hairpin bend no. 1 and then follow the road to the car.

Reninge: Canyon Start
Tour: A descent with a drill to re-equip everything would not be a luxury; old anchorages +++, poor handling of friction, the C50 has two good RG spits, connected, well placed, then before the C100, take the RG anchorage (2 spits) to descend in the axis (12m) (attention, reform the anchorage with chains you can see + in RG of this anchorage) to the edge of the C100; from there, a mixture of old and new anchors awaits you, which goes a little awry. The relay is 50m further down, slightly to the G on a good ledge (3 points connected). You can see an exit at the exit of the C100 RD to reach the parking lot for the GR. Bring your helmet!!! (as always...) lots of stone chips.... and the retrofit kit, because new obstacles can appear depending on the landslide.

Approach: If you are traveling with 2 vehicles (4x4), you can drive to the chapel of Agios Ioannis. The terrain can be bypassed. From the exit of the slope across the small grassy area, the route quickly descends along the canyon rim to the entry point.
Tour: Numerous rappels in a beautifully carved canyon - unsightly brackish water pools possible.

Comment: Start unterer Teil
Approach: For entry to superior: Continue uphill on the dirt road for about 2 km, leaving the antennas on the right and going left at the next forks, until the end of the road. Take the obvious uphill path indicated by the blue marks and E6 signage. Cross the small tributary that you meet after 300 m. Continue for just over 1.2 km, always uphill, in a forest of oaks and ferns, until a fork (altitude 680 m). Take the obvious path on the left, downhill, until you reach the banks of the Tsivdogianni. For entry to inferior: From the parking lot, follow the road uphill that crosses the residential area until it turns into a dirt road. Continue until you reach the two cylindrical water collection cisterns where you must turn left. Continue climbing until you reach a horse paddock where the dirt road turns into a path. Cross the fence and continue climbing through a thick meadow of ferns, and then walk alongside a black PVC pipe for a short distance. The path, used to go to the top of Mount Fengari, continues climbing in zigzags and becomes increasingly clear. Continue until you reach a clear fork where you need to turn left onto the blue marked path. Continue along the slope, entering the Tsivdogianni valley, where the slope decreases. After a short stretch, leave the main path and take the faint trail to the left, still marked in blue, which approaches the stream gradually and in a false flat, until it meets the PVC pipe again. Continue taking the pipe as a reference and, after passing a narrow ledge, descend to the left into a gully until reaching the riverbed.

Approach: Continue along the road, first downhill and then uphill, until you reach a clearing where there is a large tree and from which you can see the canyon. Continue along a flat path, parallel to the canyon, which climbs up a hill. Turn left and zigzag down, along the line of least slope, until you reach the stream, following the blue marks.

Return: After the last rappel continue until you come across an old concrete wall, after which the canyon opens up and the riverbed becomes completely stony. You will shortly reach the exit signed with blue marks. Climb the small slope to reach two large plastic pipes. Follow the pipes until you reach a clearing where there is a path signed with red marks. Turn right, downhill, on the path that becomes increasingly wider, until you reach the concrete road. Continue on the road to shortly reach the parked vehicle.

2024-06-06: Surprisingly beautiful canyon with some walking passages.
Approach: From the junction, follow the slope in a zigzag down to the bottom (with 4x4 also possible to the entry). The first rappel is at the ford.
Tour: The first two rappels begin beautifully incised with water, which then quickly disappears into the streambed. This is followed by a longer, dry walking passages. This is followed by more rappels, but this time with a deeper cut. Following a chute, which may have brackish water here, you then suddenly rappel into clear water that comes out of a semicircle into the basin. The further course is almost cave-like in places. The water is cold but crystal clear and you can usually downclimb the steps. However, you have to walk a little to get to the exit.

Approach: From the car park, behind the repeaters, a steep, stony, 2 m wide path starts, very obvious and marked with blue marks. Continue along the path until you reach a flat clearing where you will find the ruins of refuge (altitude 900 m). Go past the ruins and continue along the path, which follows the crest, to an area with large trees at the base of a high rocky spur. Go around the rocky spur on the right side and climb steeply, overcoming difference in height of about 20 m, to find a passage between the rocks and look out over a large landslide. Follow the landslide zigzagging between large boulders and brambles, referring to the blue marks, going up and down, to climb up the hill in front. Arrive at the saddle that divides the Fonias valley from the Angistros valley (altitude 1010 m), and find a double Y-shaped arrow, drawn in blue, which marks the crossroads between the paths for Angistros and Giali. Turn left and continue downhill into the drainage basin of a tributary of the Angistros, which is initially dry but is soon fed by small resurgences and small tributaries. Continue down the riverbed until the beginning of the verticality where you intercept, on the right bank (altitude 790), a trail, indicated with blue marks, which allows you to skip some uninteresting and not equipped differences in height. Follow the path for 200 meters and then return to the bed of the tributary until the confluence with the main branch of the Angistros which comes from the right and carries the same amount of water.
Tour: See topo. Pay attention to sharp edges and to the recovery of the ropes.

2022-08-19: What beautiful water. And what a day it was, at first huge rainfall was forecast, but then only a few drops and in the afternoon we were in the Soca in the sunshine.
Approach: From the car, follow the Soča trail along the river on the left near the gorge. A possible entry is from the middle, where after 50 meters you will see a wooden staircase on the left, find the spot, put the rope around the tree or the rocks “before the dangerous part in the gorge” and abseil down into the gorge with a 1x50 meter long rope. Further upstream is possible, but on our visit we went from the middle based on the knowledge of others
Tour: If you abseil in the middle, you can expect nice swims in very cold water. It is recommended to take a diving mask to observe large numbers of Soča trout in 6-8 m deep water. At low water levels of 2-3 m3/s on the Kršovec gauge, it is easy to bypass the siphons.

Approach: Shuttle approx. 15 min.
Tour: A slightly incised canyon consisting of a series of waterfalls between 3 and 30 m high, separated by short steps. It is very sunny and offers a beautiful view of the Rhone plain. The water level is usually quite low and it is a good alternative if the canyons in the region are too full. At the beginning of the season, however, there may still be residual firn from avalanches. Due to its equipment, it is very suitable for practicing canyoning techniques.

Approach: The real difficulty lies in the ascent. The sloping slabs require safe climbing at grade II. There are enough anchors for the ascent. The grass-covered rock in the ascent must be dry otherwise it will be tricky. From the SP13, follow the orange markings from point 44.0615267N, 10.2879448E. Then climb on the orographic left side following the yellow markings. Later, follow the markings again at the bottom of the gorge. After the "waterfall" 44.0660266N, 10.2841258E you can continue to follow the markings or start the descent with them.

After the "waterfall" 44.0660266N, 10.2841258E you can continue to follow the markings or start the descent with them.
Tour: Equipment super, ascent hooks not quite so super but they should be enough for the sloping slabs.

2025-08-04: Everything was great, except for the many trees on the tour. You have to be careful or think carefully about how to do the rappel so that the rope doesn't get caught. A saw would be useful. No anchors...
Comment: Aus Karte ermittelt. NICHT verifiziert.
Approach: Follow the signs to Alpe Bee, which you reach via a wonderful, almost completely asphalted mule track. At the only fork, which you reach about halfway along, ignore the signpost for Diogna and continue to the right. When you come to the first house in the middle of a meadow, continue to the left and reach the mountain pasture (fountain and some houses). From here, always following the path, you enter the forest again and then descend to the stream.
Tour: Note: the second part (below the described exit) can be safely avoided (+1h and 6 rappels); if you only do the first part, you will have a wonderful memory of this canyon...

Return: When the canyon opens up clearly, a marked path crosses the stream, turn left and you will soon reach the access path. You reach a bridle path and walk along the left bank across the meadows to the cars.

Comment: AIC: Parken in der nähe eines auffällig dekorierten Hauses - Koordinaten nicht verifziert.
Access: Drive past Domodossola in a northerly direction and continue to the turn-off to Val Formazza. You pass the villages of Crodo and Baceno until you reach Premia. Ride past the village center until you reach the junction on the right for Cagiogno. Pass the Toce and continue for a few hundred meters until you reach a large clearing near a very ornate house that almost looks like a caricature.
Return: When the canyon opens up clearly, a marked path crosses the stream, turn left and you will soon reach the access path. You reach a bridle path and walk along the left bank across the meadows to the cars.

2025-03-03: Combined with nearby Quincoajo, i would only recommend the latter as Cacabillos is really... caca slippery. Rockclimbing or via ferrata or thermal baths are the better options.
Approach: Hike up right bank on a gentle trail in the forest until a saddle, the entrance is below where the streams join.
Tour: After an open start with some downclimbing, it becomes more narrow. Very slippery.

Approach: Traverse through the village, more or less horizontal, first on a cemented trail but soon on a path (past a lonesome building) and with a couple of zigzags down to the stream.
Tour: First a simple mountainstream, until the rocks oblige the stream to form a couple of scenic waterfalls. Well bolted, for training purposes and guided abseils.

2025-04-06: Gully to be done after rains, nice vertical, anchorages quite old.
Approach: From Torla, continue on the road that leads to Puente de Los Navarros. On the right and a few meters before the bridge over the Barranco de Repetruso canyon, take the turnoff that leads to the La Glera bridge and the measuring station (park here, but remember that this point can also be reached on foot via the path that starts at the northern entrance of the road tunnel ditched under the village church). From the Puente de La Glera bridge, continue on foot along the Diazas forest path, leaving the Camino de Turieto on your left, just before the ascending bends of the path that lead you to the exit of the canyon. From here, the path continues in a very long straight line to SSE, where after 400 meters (250 meters after the exit of the Barranco del Lobo canyon) we find an obvious path on our left. This path leads us in numerous loops to the entrance of the canyon, after passing a repeat point, crossing the Barranco del Lobo canyon in its middle part and the tributary of the Barranco de Duáscaro (Barranco del Furicón) at its upper exit, as well as the "Bosque de Los Anfibios" (Amphibian Forest).
Tour: A canyon with an open morphology, either through the wooded areas or along the walls of the large waterfalls. A real treat for lovers of great verticals. From the entrance to the canyon, a first route leads through the "Bosque de Los Anfibios" (Amphibious Forest) with small ledges that can be climbed, where the first abseiling point is located, the "Cascada de Los Anfibios", to "La Rampa del Capi" as access to the waterfalls of "El Patio de Mi Padre", a semicircle with a spectacular drop of 120 meters, which is naturally divided into three abseiling points: "Cascada Helen", the fourth abseil ramp and the "Cascada María José" to reach the middle part of the descent. Back through the forest, the "Faja Superior" with its short abseils leads to a beautiful waterfall, the "Cascada Gloria", which with its 25 meters marks the descent to the "Faja Inferior" and its great abseil point "El Tubo de Machard Man". From here, the descent exits with some easy abseils. Exits: numerous. Before abseiling point 2, hairpin bends through the forest back to the access path. From rappel 6, climb (with caution or with luck) through the wooded belts in a northerly direction to the fields of the Ribera del Río Ara. Place name: Barranco de Duascaro. Duascaro de Morer canyon. It is often confused with its tributary, the Barranco de Furicón, as the Peña de Duáscaro is much further north. Can be combined with the descent from: Barranco del Furco de Arán canyon and Garganta de Las Gloces del Río Jalle.

Duascaro: Canyon End
2025-04-06: Gully to be done after rains, nice vertical, anchorages quite old.
Return: After the last abseiling point, continue along the riverbed until you reach the Diazas forest path at the bends mentioned above. From here you can walk back to the bridge of La Glera.

Approach: Juzgar, aka the smurfvillage, either park in the village and hike down from there. Or take a steep and curvy road to the below factory by the exit of the canyon, from which you hike up or do a shuttle. Other - and recommended - option is to park at the exit of Majales canyon and combine both canyons, visit Juzgar and go for food etc on the return hike.

2025-02-11: Water flow was still consistent after rainfall some days ago. Well protected from wind. Easy, open canyon, lots of escape possibilities, optional abseils, or options from trees to avoid certain pools....
Approach: Hike up a few streets. On the left side, behind the restaurant in the village, at the small park leaves a trail quite in traverse that takes us to the Pajaruco.
Tour: First part (2 abseils and open riverbed) is optional, but given the minimal length of the canyon it is recommended to complete the descent.

Access: Take the A26 Voltri-Gravellona Toce highway and continue until the highway turns into a state road (SS33 del Sempione). Take the SS33 up the Ossola Valley until you reach the exit for Piedimulera. In the village center, cross the bridge over the Anza and park in the parking lot on the left (lower car). From the parking lot, take Via San Rocco up to the village of Gulo. Park in the large square above the fairground (upper car).
Return: Walk down the right bank to the Gozzi power station. Here you have to cross the Anza to get to the left bank. Continue until you pass under the bridge of the power station road and, after about a hundred meters, you come to a second lake that you can cross again, bypassing a ridge and returning to the right bank. From here, take the easy service road of the Piedimulera power station that leads back to the cars.

Continue until you pass under the bridge of the power station road and, after about a hundred meters, you come to a second lake that you can cross again, bypassing a ridge and returning to the right bank. From here, take the easy service road of the Piedimulera power station that leads back to the cars.

When the canyon becomes visible, there are some parts that cross the steep forest. Eventually you reach a very exposed rocky outcrop at a height of about 180 m, from which you can you can reach the canyon with abseiling equipment.
Tour: A difficult and challenging alpine canyon characterized by a very long corridor with numerous abseiling points, almost all of which are under waterfalls, with the canyon walls being less than one metre deep in many places. There is no escape route for the first 220 meters. The second part offers more breathing space and a few more escape routes, but is by no means to be underestimated. The exploratory routes are obviously the only ones you should use, and although they are in sheltered places, they are very risky given the nature of the canyon. Entry at 1170 HM is 25 rappels. ATTENTION: On weekdays there can be loud, rather disturbing disturbing explosions from the nearby quarry, which could be dangerous during the last rappel. Avoid on weekdays or exit to the left before the last rappel.

Approach: From the parking lot, walk down and follow Via Locher for about 150 meters. Then take the wide path on the right that leads up the Sinigo stream to a small bridge. After crossing this small bridge, descend to the river bed on the orographic left bank and follow the watercourse until you reach a large stone wall, where the route begins.
Tour: Difficult canyon for normal water flow. Risk of landslides and falling rocks. The route is divided into three parts: upper part, rarely passable due to strong current; middle part, generally passable and fairly open; lower part, often with little water, but becomes dangerous in strong current. C135 (35-20-20-50) Emergency exit near the first tributary on the left. Remarks: it is recommended to bring your own material to reinforce inadequate anchors. Check the water level very carefully!

2025-02-25: The original data from Gulliver.it refers to a hike in northern Italy. There is probably no technical canyon in Pantalica. But there is a nice aqua trek: Depending on the water supply, the character...
Approach: The starting point is the parking lot at the eastern entrance to the Anapo Valley. At the entrance to the nature park you have to register in a book. The opening hours of the entrance vary depending on the season. Follow the road along the old railroad line. The first signposted possibility to leave the track leads towards the Ferla entrance. After a few meters you have to cross the Anapo. Continue uphill past the somewhat hidden Roman water pipe to the Ferla entrance (parking lot). From there, descend to the left in a large arc (on the way, a green gate blocks the descent to the interesting Grotta dei pipistrelli) down to Torrente Calcinara. This is where the actual trek begins.
Tour: Depending on the time of year, this is the point to put on the neoprene. You now follow the watercourse through a number of pools and a few short, easy waterfalls. On the left you reach the beginning of the Bohemian aqueduct. There is a possible jump of 4m here. Opposite is a steep path that can be used as an emergency exit. After 200 m you reach the Fiume Anapo. Now continue downstream until you can get out onto a path on the right. You can follow the Anapo further downstream. However, this quickly becomes tedious due to the slippery rock.

Approach: We walk along the Moinho path, after 500 m two interconnected bends and a path with a marker on the left. We take it and continue climbing gently until, at about 850 m, it crosses another path that descends. We will follow it ( left) making a bend and approaching the river. After a few linked bends, we take a path to the right that leads us down to the river

Access: From the A18 Catania-Messina highway, take the Taormina exit and continue on the S.S.114 state road towards Messina. When you reach the village of Letojanni, continue on the state road and, just before the bridge that crosses the stream of the same name, turn left and continue straight on until the road, which is asphalted but turns into a dirt track, ends in a small clearing where you can park your car. (Parking exit) Drive back to the highway exit and continue towards Taormina and then Castelmola. A few kilometers before the village of Castelmola, turn right towards the sports field and just before it turn left up a steep slope and continue for about a kilometer until you reach an old, peculiar, abandoned restaurant (Le Quattro Stagioni); here turn right and drive down a small road, which soon becomes unpaved, to the other side of the valley where you can park your car near a residential house. (parking entry)
Return: At this point, it is possible to turn left and reach the car by crossing abandoned fields and then descending steep and impermeable slopes. However, the most comfortable way is to follow the walk of the torrent between chaotic boulders in a very open environment until, 300 meters further on, a path descends to the right that leads to the car parked downstream in a few minutes. Continuing along the stream, however, you descend another 10 meters to reach the confluence with the Letojanni stream shortly afterwards, not far from the clearing where the car is parked.

Tour: 2023-07-05 low insufficient Climbed on foot from the entry point at 420m to the river crossing at 940m. It is best to cut right inward on the previous route, which should reach the river at about 880m. The gear is the only fast one of 2009, often no gear and natural gear is used. On the last beautiful 35m descent the ropes have been replaced and a quickdraw added.

2025-07-09: Start was a bit confusing as the river appeared dry. After some downclimbing we saw the water appearing. Nice experience, good anchoring
2025-07-05: Also beautiful the 2nd time.
2025-04-06: Beautiful environment.... Very cold water Weapons often very backward Very slippery
Approach: Description for the lower part: From the lower parking lot back through the village somewhat hidden over one of the two small bridges into Franz-von-Fenner-Straße, follow this up the hill until you come to a cupboard. Park the car there and continue on foot. Follow the road further uphill until you can see DISTINCT climbing tracks on the left (after about 50 meters downhill there is a small hut, then you are in the right place). If you walk until the road is close to the stream and you can see the slide brakes, you have gone too far. Follow the path downhill and descend along the stream. (In 2024 there were some helpful rope traverses.) Once you have descended over several slide brakes, you arrive directly in the stream. Entry.
Tour: Upper parts: Lower part: Quite fast parts, later even deep parts in wonderful scenic scenery with a short dark passage (no lamps necessary). Rappels and running sections of varying lengths alternate. Few technical difficulties await the canyonist, only at C40 a rope traverse has to be set up. If there is a lot of water, it can be difficult to get to the optimal position, especially on the C40.

Comment: Im Bachbett unterhalb des Straßenendes
Approach: From the parking lot you can see a small steel bridge over the stream, cross it and follow the path to the right. At the exit, turn right again and follow this path. A little way after the forest, after the second steel bridge, it gets lost in the vegetation, but reappears after the ruins on the right. Follow this until you reach the concrete track, turn left here and descend to the streambed at the exit. (30 min)
Tour: The tour begins with two rappel lines to the left and right of the ridge. Then the two lines join and the highest and most beautiful rappel follows at 16 meters. After a good 200 meters of running, the rappel continues. After a sometimes almost dry passage (most of the water is diverted into a levada here), the character of the canyon changes from open and bare to somewhat incised and very green due to several tributaries. After a few more abseils, the first steel bridge is reached from the approach path. The canyon has been fully equipped with glued anchors since August 2024.

2024-12-18: A fantastic rappel canyon! The following points should be taken into account: Cable car operating times, tide/flood/wave height, drill Sensible, the water is in a smaller chute in places Video of the...
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the stone steps down to the levada. The streambed is almost always dry for the first few meters. The abseiling fun begins at the entry with a C20, two anchors on the left. Here you can judge the amount of water falling from the levada into the canyon. Note: The old entry into the canyon via a wooden beam staircase no longer exists!
Tour: After the dry entry abseil of 20 meters, you have to work your way down through some vegetation, depending on the season (garden shears can be helpful). This is followed by a challenging 2 x 2 meter downclimb when the water level is high. A few more meters and then you are at a breathtaking vertical that drops a good 250 meters to the Atlantic. What follows: C 10, anchor on the outside of a boulder (be sure to stay on the rope until the next anchor!) C 35, anchor on the outside of the boulder (stay on the rope until the next anchor!) C 35, anchor left, quality doubtful C 75, two anchors from December 2024, 12 mm, approx. 10 meters below the large tree on the right (crossing the waterline is sporty when the water level is high) OR C80, two anchors just below the tree (crossing the waterline is sporty at high water levels) Now you can relax for a moment and admire the remains of a tanker truck. The route continues: C 8, two anchors on the left C 60, chain anchor at the front left of the large boulder C 35, two anchors on protruding rock outcrop (ATTENTION: when the water level is high, this anchor point is fully in the water jet) The high verticals are now behind you and you can already feel the salt of the sea. Another C 15 over two steps, an anchor on the right and, depending on the tide, you are in the water.

You can park here. Theoretically, it is also possible to walk around the gardens and re-park, but we strongly advise against parking a second car at the cable car, as spaces are limited and are intended for day visitors to the gardens. In addition, the way back to the car is short and downhill.
Return: It goes over the pebble beach to the right (be careful, at high tide and high waves the passage becomes impassable, there may then be a path above the last step). After two narrow passages, the beach widens and the second part of the truck lies in front of you. fallen from above. You reach the small harbor, a restaurant and finally back to the cable car. The cable car operates from 10.00 to 19.00 in summer and from 10.00 to 18.00 in winter (no guarantee). The single trip to the top costs (as of December 2024) 8 euros per person and must be paid on arrival at the top. Now follow the road for a good 800 meters and then follow the first junction to the right. After another 650 meters you are back at the parking entry. Resourceful canyonists look for a shortcut through the plantations.

Approach: At the beginning of the parking lot, a path starts in the direction of Levada das Faias, climb up to it and remember the point for the way back. Cross the levada and continue up to Levada dos Tornos. Follow the levada to the right, the entry point is a good 700m further on. (1h, 400m)
Tour: At the beginning, the path through the forest is mostly dry and characterized by a couple of abseils. The first small abseiling points soon appear, mostly rope rings on trees. Depending on their age, these are over-mossed and therefore sometimes difficult to find. Currently (October 2024), all rope rings are new and pink, making them easy to see. The first high rappel has a feeder and a rope-protecting stand (3 bolts each, two of them with a ring, some of them newly set in October 2024). The route continues with many lower rappels until another 30-meter rappel awaits with the very beautiful final waterfall. Here, in addition to the rope ring on the tree, there is a line on the left in the dry (2 anchors, 1 ring each) and one on the right that runs in the water (2 anchors, 1 ring each, newly set in October 2024). You can easily rappel past the levada until you have comfortable ground under your feet. (3h)

Here you will find a parking lot with 6 to 8 spaces. Please park to save space. The alternative with 2 cars is not recommended due to the very poor condition of the slope, it is also not time-saving.

2025-03-05: Done after canyon 40 aniversario. High flow but possible thanks to local guide. Luckily i visited the touristic cave as well, bcs the beauty of it is obviously more impressive (lights, deco...) than t...
Approach: From parking Atalaya, head east on a rocky trail to the gated entrance (2025: no key needed).
Tour: Many fixed ropes (often 3 lines, it gets busy in high season), but a few abseils still have to be installed. The most impressive one is the 3rd one, which is overhanging and dropping into a room with beautiful formations (25-30m). The bigger abseils can be broken down to 30'ish meters or done in one go with 50/60m ropes. Two more splashy abseils outside, followed by a river crossing or flying fox (tyrolienne). In high season: count more time and dress warm for possible waiting times.

Scala: Canyon Start
Approach: ACCESS: from the locality "al lago" at km 1.2 of the S.P.56 Canal San Bovo-Caoria, take the ENEL path directly from the house in front of the parking lot and follow it comfortably to the water intake (beginning of the lower part) in about twenty minutes. Now continue to the right on a clearly visible path, following the blue markings, until below the last waterfall of the upper part, where you cross the stream, continue along a chute, always faithfully following the blue markings, after this rather uncomfortable part, take a nice ledge on the right that leads to a collar from which you can see the upper part of the canyon. From here, go around a chute and then cross towards the stream on the right (blue markings) to reach the start of the canyon slightly downhill, right at the first beautiful 25 m high waterfall. (50min- 1 hour)
Tour: The most beautiful and branchy part is the upper section with 14 abseiling points and 250 m difference in altitude. This is followed by an intermediate section up to the water inlet, which affects the flow. In the lower part, although with very little water, there are some beautiful verticals in a worked granite environment (80 m drop).

Crana: Canyon Start
Approach: With shuttle: from the upstream parking, continue along Via Roma towards Sarona until the bridge over the Riale stream. Cross the bridge and take a faint trail starting on the right, between the bridge and the roadside barrier. The trail, not very obvious, follows a series of terraces without gaining or losing elevation. Once the canyon comes into view, descend to the streambed near the first rappel (46°03'03.5"N 8°48'20.5"E), following a few stone cairns. Approx. 20 minutes. Without shuttle: from the downstream parking, cross the bridge over the Crana and immediately find a steep trail climbing into the forest on the right. This faint path gains elevation quickly along a small ridge. At about 650 m a.s.l. turn right, following the remains of an old trail that enters the valley with a gentle ascent. After passing some ruined huts, follow the stone cairns that indicate the best descent route to the first rappel (approx. 25 minutes, +100 m elevation gain).

Crana: Canyon End
Return: Immediately after the last rappel the canyon opens up and the road bridge becomes clearly visible. Climb up on the right bank, first below the bridge and then to its right, until reaching the paved road and the cars. Approx. 5 minutes, +40 m elevation gain.

Crana: Parking at Exit
Access: Downstream: coming from Dumenza you reach the stream just before the village of Curiglia, where the road (SP6) crosses it via a large bridge (signposted Torrente Crana). Park just before the bridge in some pull-outs on the left-hand side (46°03'17"N 8°48'04"E). Upstream (shuttle): continue to Curiglia and take the road to Viasco (Via Cesare Battisti, on the right after the Town Hall). At the “no entry” sign at the top of the village (near a fountain), turn right (Via Roma) and continue a few hundred meters to a parking area on the left (46°03'34.5"N 8°48'23"E).
Return: Immediately after the last rappel the canyon opens up and the road bridge becomes clearly visible. Climb up on the right bank, first below the bridge and then to its right, until reaching the paved road and the cars. Approx. 5 minutes, +40 m elevation gain.

Approach: Access: From the Tumlhof farm, follow the unpaved path past the farm on the left until you reach the streambed on the right-hand side. If you follow the course of the river, you will pass an old mill and immediately find the first abseiling point after 50 meters.

Pfossentalbach: Parking at Exit
Access: Parking exit approach: from Bolzano, head towards Merano and then continue into Val Venosta, turning off into Val Senales shortly after the village of Naturno. About 1 kilometer before the turn-off to Kartause/ Certosa, you will see the turn-off to Val di Fosse- Pfossental on the right-hand side. If you have two cars, you can park the first vehicle shortly after the turn-off, near the bridge over the Schnalser Bach stream. Parking entry: with the second car, drive about 500 meters further to the first bend at the TumIhof, WHERE you can ask if you can park the car.
Return: Exit: after the last jump (about 2 meters). at the mouth of the Schnalser Bach, climb back up on the right side of the river.

Cam Dedaj: Canyon Start
Tour: The tour has slightly changed since it was published in Pascal's book. Some anchors were damaged and/or missing (emergency cordes were found on natural anchors), therefore new lines were chosen in 2024, some of which were ideal with abalakov (puente de roca) bring bolting kit and thin rope (or durable corde) to replace the ropes in situ.

Cam Dedaj: Parking at Entry
Access: Recommended is the version via the highest tributary right bank, it suffices to traverse into the tributary shortly after the ruins on the trail.
Return: Exit right bank, following the aquaduct (defunct in places) and back to trail of the approach.

Lizerne de la Mare: Canyon Start
2021-10-08: I quite liked it, it would certainly be cool to do it right after the rain.
Approach: Cool hiking trail up through Poteu du bois.
Tour: The canyon has 2 parts, with a walking passage in between. At the top it is more open with beautifully polished waterfalls, and a great gulch with more angular rock.

Approach: Take the gondola up to Kilcherberg, and from there head towards Seewli. You can do the via ferrata on the way up.
Tour: Start at the left inflow. Not very many anchors have been set and should certainly be added. The highlight of the tour is certainly the 60m waterfall. No polished rocks anywhere, but a fairly continuous tour.

Gornera: Canyon Start
Comment: Start Teil 1
Approach: Part 1: at the bridge Part 2: From Furi down over the bridge, turn right and follow the canyon briefly upwards, then enter near the reservoir house Part 3: Orographically left on the hiking trail down. Leave the hiking trail in the direction of the gondola lift mast. From there, follow the cliff for another 50-100m until an obvious, gently sloping path leads south into the canyon. Start at the "via ferrata".
Tour: Anchors are regularly damaged or cannot be found under the snow. A drill is strongly recommended. Parts 1+2 or 2+3 make a nice day tour. Part 1: only possible with little snow/fresh snow (avalanche danger) and not too cold temperatures. A side tributary can block the whole canyon with a wall of ice. Part 2: More water contact than in part 1 but not very technical. Exit orographic left before the via ferrata or start of part 3. Part 3: More rappels and downclimbs follow. Attention, there is a pool from which you may not be able to get out if the siphon is closed. Therefore, from the start of part 3, you must first climb via the via ferrata to this point and hang a rope (approx. 2x20m). Alternatively, one person can follow the group via the via ferrata and react from above if the siphon is closed. The pool is located after the cool rope pendulum in the via ferrata, with which you can get from the orographic right to the orographic left side of the canyon. If the siphon is closed, people have to rappel up the rope to the via ferrata and back down into the canyon after the siphon. This takes some time and warm clothing is essential. Exit at the start of part 4 orographically to the right, climbing up the steep streambed as soon as possible. Crampons and ice axes/ice tools recommended. Part 4: ? worse water quality possible from here onwards Part 5: Poor water quality possible. Canyon should be checked before entering via the tourist gallery. Possible wooden blockages.

Approach: The stream has been climbed from the very top, but only becomes interesting from a height of 780m. So it's best to walk up the path west of the canyon and then look for tracks down the 40-50 degree slope.

2024-07-25: Got in via the band at 1840m. Some very nice sequences with cool spots. Many pyrite inclusions in the rock, very sunny canyon. Due to the extreme bed load operation, carrying a drill is mandatory.
Approach: The hiking trail up to Säss 1880Hm, from there horizontally following an easy path, at the end the path is quite overgrown but still easily visible. Entry at 1840Hm
Tour: A drilling set is recommended, as the stream carries a lot of bed load during floods.

Pevereggia: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, follow Via Morina briefly westward. Just before the bridge over the stream, a trail enters the forest on the left. Follow it for a short distance and enter the riverbed just upstream of the first waterfall (45°59'45.1"N 8°48'58.4"E). Approximately 5 min.

Pevereggia: Canyon End
Return: After the 40-meter waterfall, exit on the left and follow trails back to the path, which shortly leads to the entry point.

Pevereggia: Parking at Entry
Access: Upstream: the car can be left in the parking lot opposite the Sessa cemetery, between Via Morina and Via Cantonale (45°59'48"N 8°49'04"E).
Return: After the 40-meter waterfall, exit on the left and follow trails back to the path, which shortly leads to the entry point.

Miglieglia: Canyon Start
Approach: Approach: from the downstream parking, return towards Miglieglia and take the first path on the right, which quickly reconnects to Via Alpetti (paved but closed to traffic). Ascend to the barrier; from here you can continue on the paved road or take the trail that cuts across some switchbacks. Once at Alpe Boscone, continue on level ground along the road, passing above some mountain huts until you reach the stream a few meters from the path (46°01'53.6"N 8°50'59.4"E). Approximately 50 minutes (230 m D+).

Miglieglia: Canyon End
Return: After the last waterfall visible from the road, exit on the left bank to climb back up to the bridge (1 minute).

Miglieglia: Parking at Exit
Access: Downstream: once in Miglieglia, continue briefly on the main road (Via Cantonale) towards Breno until you reach the bridge over the stream, right at the final waterfall of the route. Just before the bridge there are 1–2 parking spots in a small pull-off. (46°01'47.6"N 8°51'14.05"E).
Return: After the last waterfall visible from the road, exit on the left bank to climb back up to the bridge (1 minute).

2021-09-24: We walked the stream from the hiking trail at 1380m, but it only becomes worthwhile in the last 100 meters of altitude.
Approach: Take the path up to Maiasc, cross at 900m through the forest to La Brüsgiada, where there was still a path about 50 years ago.
Tour: You can also start much higher up, but it makes the most sense to start at 840m and then do a somersault.

Tour: There is a lot of wood and domestic waste in the stream. The equipment is old and trees often have to be used as anchors. Those who want a leisurely expedition into the green will get their money's worth here.

Tsanfleuronne: Canyon Start
2023-08-20: Sunny, open tour
Approach: The access trail starts directly above the parking lot. It crosses the Tsanfleururonne at point 1754. If you only want to do the 2nd part, you can enter the canyon here. Continue along the well-marked path until you reach a large hairpin bend on the left directly below the Hotel du Sanetsch. Leave the path to the right, pass a ditch and then a small hump and enter the canyon.
Tour: The first part consists of a series of waterfalls and jumps that lead to a 26-meter-long section that is dangerous for ropes. This part exits after two or three abseils and/or downclimbs. After a short hike on the right bank, you reach the second part, whose rocks are more beautiful and the surroundings more beautiful. It is characterized by a beautiful waterfall about 60 m long, divided into three easy relays.

Here you join the track that leads back to the road. 1,5 h. The track is on the right-hand side, about 300 m further downstream than indicated on some maps. The best way to reach the path is to climb up the dried-up riverbed.

Access: From Tepelene, drive towards Kurvelesh and on towards Gusmar, cross Rexhin and park your vehicle in Nivica by the bridge.
Return: After the corridor, a stream joins from the left. Follow the streambed until you reach an old concrete structure, which was probably intended as a retention system. Here you join the track that leads back to the road. 1,5 h. The track is on the right-hand side, about 300 m further downstream than indicated on some maps. The best way to reach the path is to climb up the dried-up riverbed.

Ademi: Canyon Start
Approach: Directly at the parking lot.
Tour: The tour begins immediately narrowly under the bridge, some jumps are possible. A few walking passages follow, then it briefly becomes open and a 25 m waterfall follows. After that, there are only extremely elaborate emergency exits. It gets narrower and is soon followed by a 65 m waterfall (divisible into 15 m and 50 m) and shortly afterwards an 85 m waterfall. After a longer walking passages, a C 40 ends the technical part. This is followed by a very beautiful 3 km corridor, which has to be mastered by swimming and walking (3 - 3.5 h). The rock faces are up to 150 m high and in places you can touch both gorge walls with outstretched arms. Caution! Very aquatic in some places!

Einödgraben: Canyon Start
2024-07-31: Only had to rappel once from a tree, otherwise expansion anchors were available or we downclimbed. Partly brittle scales, otherwise non-slip rock with good grip. Mosquito invasion on the way back

Approach: From the parking lot, cross the road and follow the forest road up the mountain. At the first junction near the house, we follow the left-hand path until we come to another junction, where we continue to the right. After the bends around your high rappel, which leads over another stream, we enter the stream just above the waterfall.
Tour: This is a tour in rather open terrain, but with short parts that are cut a little deep. The highlight is the highest rappel at 38m and the sometimes quite dark rock with quartz, which runs through the rock in veins. Due to the heavy thunderstorm at the beginning of June 2024, some trees in the lower part of the canyon slid into the stream.

Approach: Recommendation: Park at the cable car in Lofer and take the Almbahn I and Almbahn II up to the Lofer Alm. From there, follow the waterfall path until the path meets the stream. Alternatively: From Gasthof Loderbichl, follow the "Wasserfallweg" in the direction of Bimalm. The trail initially follows the toll road and later turns right towards Würmbach. At a junction of two field paths, you have to stay on the waterfall path at the top and not go down towards Klausmaisalm. The path passes a waterfall, then another 2-3 minutes and you will find the entry point at two pools. You can also continue to the bridge, but this part is not worthwhile.
Tour: Cool down in the pool, then first rappel single bolt left with 4m. Short walking passages, then anchors hidden in the middle in front of the hole, then chain anchors on the left and over the tourist waterfall. Then comes a short downclimb and the only deep pool of the tour (jump 2-3m possible). This is followed by the rappel highway with 20/25 rappels, some with single hooks, some from tree slings (see topographic view for details). The penultimate rappel is a 45m, followed by another 20m. Then you walk along the stream for about 150m until you climb up to the meadows on the right. Supposedly there is also a lower part which is not so beautiful...

Comment: Recommended start
Approach: Cross the main river on a wooden bridge slightly upstream from the parking. On the backside of the barn (Stalle Susanna) is an ancient oven, and start of a trail towards the canyon on our right. Well before reaching the canyon, blue markings by a little junction indicate we go left & up, immediately confirmed by another blue marking on a small pine tree. This trail is now faint, but marked with blue dots and the occasional cairn, it zigzags its way up through the trees and brings us closer to the canyon. At this point there is a bigger cairn, marking an emergency exit, but we continue up on our left, steep and at times not so clear, but always marked. The trail uses the forest on the ascending ridge (offering views and occasional phone reception) towards the final chimney 'Col Della Question'. Up on the chimney we continue shortly straight, then rapidly descend towards Susanna on our right (blue markings lead the way). A higher entrance exists but offering little reward with only 2 more obstacles won.
Tour: Jump 3m 15m 1 bolt with ring in the middle on a stuck boulder (overhang). 21m 2 bolts one with ring left, in a niche, double drop. 6m optional MC to install from 1 bolt, left, alternatively tobogan with exposed exit. 25m 2 bolts, left, one with ring, from a hanging pool, start of the vertical, U-shaped part of the canyon. 10m handline to install from 1 abalakov + 1 bolt, right, to the top of the 76m 'goulotte'. 76m 2 bolts with ring left, alternatively 2 intermediate anchors -25m (2 bolts w. ring) & -45m (2 bolts w. double ring), both left. Possible escape on the right, not verified. 20m 1 bolt with ring, in the middle. 19m 1 bolt with ring, left. 20m 1 bolt with ring, left. Downclimb little pools. 5m optional abalakov, right, alternatively downclimb. 35m 2 bolts one with ring, right, make sure to perfect the rope retrieval. 30m 2 bolts one with double ring on a ledge, low, left. 15m 1 bolt with ring, right. 20m 1 bolt with ring + 1 small abalakov, left. 20m 1 bolt + 1 abalakov, right. 10m MC, left, from 2 bolts 50-60m two 8mm bolts with ring (placed by a 2nd team) one of which is now backed up to more solid rock, however cutting edge still exists, active belaying. Emergency anchor for smaller ropes, right, at -47, one bolt, 10m. Walk + tobogan, natural anchor or abalakov optional. Possible escape right towards the trail of the approach. 40m 2 spits, left, backed up with 12mm, geyser with high flow 5m downclimb or natural anchor 20m optional abalakov, right, or downclimb, left.

Approach: Follow the normal hiking trail in the gorge to the exit of the dark gorge. Where the canyon opens up, you can rappel from the orographic left using a single rappel, or otherwise climb over the iron and down the rock.
Tour: After the entry, there are several abseils between 10 m and 40 m. There are generally very good belays and a few small jumps. However, a little caution is required due to gravel (or chain position) and wood piles.

Klobensteiner Wasserfälle: Canyon Start
Approach: We first follow the hiking trail down to the Ache. There we cross the suspension bridge and ascend along the well-maintained path. At the junction, we continue left until we reach the viewing platform. After another 100m, we take a poorly recognizable trail into the forest on the right until we reach the stream and the first rappel
Tour: We start with a 7m rappel (expansion bolt, left) and continue climbing down to a "steel rope bridge". After a longer and slippery downclimb, which goes under a wooden bridge of the hiking trail, we come to a rope traverse (steel, right), where there is an approx. 35m rappel (chain anchor expansion, right) at the exit. When pulling off the rappel, the rope often gets caught in a V, which is why it is worth using the chain anchor after approx. 1/3 of the rappel (chain anchor expansion, left). At the exit of the tour, you can get off at the suspension bridge at the Klobenstein bay after a short swim, or take a rafting/kayaking tour on the Ache towards Schleching.

Burrone Giovanelli: Canyon Start
2025-07-06: Because it was like this last year, just again.... Unfortunately a bit short

Approach: From the parking lot, follow trail no. 505 (keep right, otherwise take the via ferrata). Follow the path steeply upwards, secured by a steel cable, with easy climbing sections that are not difficult, up the slope until you reach the gulch. Continue a few more meters until you reach the stream. (Theoretically, you can continue up the via ferrata to get a little higher)
Tour: To reach the first belay, a rope traverse can be set up (either from the gear hooks on the ladder or from an anchor a little further ahead). After reaching the first belay, rappel after rappel without any significant running distances. The description in the AIC booklet from 2024 mentions a slide - however, all pools are currently covered with gravel.

2024-08-04: Beautiful canyon with good water in the wide run. It took us a long time to find the first stand. Now well described. Water level picture from the bridge at the exit
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the road for a short distance and then turn right onto the hiking trail to Cascata. Follow this until you reach the foot of the 135 m waterfall (the exit of the upper part).
Tour: Once you reach the stream, you stand on a "balcony" with a railing. To the left of the large stone is a good downclimb. Then go directly to the right and walk underneath the retaining wall until you almost reach its exit. On the left-hand side, there are climbing tracks down to a small ridge. Follow these down a few meters and downclimb again to the left - i.e. back towards the large waterfall. Here you will find a single bolt on a slab with which you can reach the belay about 15 meters ahead (do not go down to the stream - keep up - the belay is behind the small crest. In the further course of the stream, rappel in the wide terrain, a lot of time is spent looking for anchors. Alternatively, there are often trees for rappels. For a Pro Canyon equipped canyon quite poorly equipped (or we simply did not find the anchors). Be careful with the potential jumps - for us, only one pool was deep enough (there is a thick rope on the left hand side to get back up)

Comment: oberer Einstieg
Approach: Follow the forest path in a south-easterly direction to the "Stalla dei Ronche". For the upper entry, take the right-hand path at the crossroads and continue past the "Alpe Rocchetta" to the "Tamarin de Cianpestris", built in 2020. Follow the path to the left to the streambed (approx. 1680m; approx. 1.5h) For the middle entry, take the left path at the crossroads and follow it to the bridge (= exit), then continue on the orographic right side to a crossroads. Follow the right-hand path down to the stream (approx. 1580m; approx. 1h). For the lower entry, cross the bridge as for the middle entry and then follow a narrow path down to the stream at approx. 1360m.
Tour: In the upper part are the first places for downclimbing, then it goes under a natural arch, followed by beautiful waterfalls into turquoise, clear pools. A slide of approx. 3-4m (05/2025 possible), also smaller slides. A longer river walk follows between the upper and middle sections. In the middle section it becomes very incised (few escape routes!). Some downclimbs/river walks. The free-hanging, approx. 30-35m high waterfall is certainly a highlight. A description of the lower part is still missing.

Approach: Access: the entry (black arrow on the guardrail) is located about 70 m after the small parking lot at 1100m. It is highly recommended to wear a wetsuit here on the road. Descend into the canyon using a tree as an anchor (rappel of about 40 meters).
Tour: The canyon begins with a 25-minute hike to the first abseil point. A few passages of sub-horizontal pools of water in succession, don't let go of the rope until you find the next belay station! In the middle of the canyon, there is an area of large fallen trees that slows down a bit (be careful not to get the rope stuck: Intermediate belays at natural or good existing anchors ). There are often unconnected double anchors (but new - ver. J. 2024). Shortly before the bridge over the canyon (path), the character of the canyon increases, with successive hanging pools (v5 a5). This part is more frequented and better equipped with chains and handrails already installed.

Before the bridge that leads to "Haselstaude", keep right where you can park a car Parking entry: return to the main road and turn left. After approx. 1 km, turn left again towards Andreus Golf Lodge and continue along the road that climbs towards Pfandler Alm. At the hairpin bend at altitude 1026 (coordinates: 46.779489, 11.241726) take the road to the left and after approx. 2 minutes you will find the first parking lot in a bend to the right. A little further on there is an additional, small parking lot on the left for two cars. From the parking lot in the valley, you can hike up to the entrance of the canyon in 1 hour on easy paths. (Eishöfe, Pfeiftalhof, 5a, 2)
Return: After the last waterfall, take an obvious path on the left bank (old building), walk down the meadow, cross a bridge over the stream and reach the car on the right bank in a few minutes.

Approach: From the parking lot, walk briefly across the stream and parallel to the watercourse across the meadow. After 5 minutes it becomes rockier and you automatically want to get to the canyon.
Tour: The first pools look jumpable. Then a higher rappel soon follows. Tourists are often encountered at the foot of the rappel. Unfortunately, anchors have been stolen here, so you have to follow the path downwards. Then you walk along the stream on path tracks and after a few minutes it becomes rockier again and the second part begins. There are some nice pools here too, until the 80 m final waterfall provides a beautiful finale.

Staudinger Graben: Canyon Start
Approach: We follow the hiking trail to the Aufinger Alm, past the barrier. After two narrow bends, we cross a cattle grid. After the gate, we follow the path branching off to the left, which we leave after the first bend downhill towards the forest. From here we look for a path straight down into the stream.
Tour: This is a tour with several rappels at low altitudes up to a maximum of 9 meters. There are also some jumps and slides in the upper part of the canyon, but these are either blocked by gravel or trees (as of August 2024). In the lower part of the canyon, you currently have to fight your way through a lot of dead wood that has fallen into the stream. It is advisable to leave the tour early via the emergency exit on the left-hand side.

Staudinger Graben: Canyon End
Return: If you choose the emergency exit option, simply follow the forest path back to the parking lot. If you go all the way to the exit, shortly after the large waterfall that flows into ours from the right, turn left and follow the hiking trail past a bench and a memorial to the road. You can either take the previously positioned vehicle to the top or walk along the road to the parking lot.

2024-08-24: Little water (unproblematic). It is recommended to start in the morning to take advantage of the warming sun.
Comment: kurz oberhalb von die Mündung von seitenbach (rechte ufe)
Approach: From the Stoissengraben parking lot, follow the cycle path for about 200 meters in the direction of Weißbach. Cross the B311 and follow the forest path that starts in front of the Stoissenbauern. After crossing the Mühlbach stream, the path begins on the left bank (orographic north). Caution: After about 900 meters, at the last hairpin bend and a crossroads, do not follow the better developed path that leads north, but keep left. Follow the path further up to about 1050 meters and enter above the confluence of the main tributary (orographic southwest).
Tour: The Mühlbach was used for the first time at the exit of August 2024 as part of a canyoning rescue exercise. The canyon has more than 20 steps/waterfalls. About 14 single hooks were installed and some tree slings, but a few small waterfalls were bypassed or double rappelled (two steps from a stand). It is therefore necessary to bring additional equipment! This is a beautiful abseil gorge that is almost uninterrupted. It is very scenic. There are a few small slides, but there is no big highlight. Nevertheless, the tour is definitely worthwhile. The canyon was filled with boulders, but under different conditions there might be several pools where you could jump or slide.

Angerschlucht: Canyon Start
Approach: You can either start from the parking exit or from the Angertal parking lot in the direction of Hartl. Above Hof there is a small path that leads to a pasture. Afterwards, the trail leads cross-country through the forest in a northerly to north-easterly direction
Tour: You start with a walking passage through difficult terrain (slippery, block climbing, lots of trees) to reach the first abseil points. This is followed by three beautiful rappels, all of which are shorter than 20 meters. On the last rappel, you can ideally slide down on the left side into a very deep pool. This is followed by another arduous walking passage to the next steeper part. This begins with a jump or a slide or rappel (a saw is recommended to clear the slide of obstacles). This is followed by another 4-5 rappels. The first complete ascent took place in 2021, and there have been no known repeats since. In any case, you should take sufficient equipment with you. Unfortunately, I no longer know the exact lengths of the abseils, but I estimate the longest abseil to be around 25 to 35 meters. I therefore recommend taking two ropes with a length of 40 meters.

In front of the elementary school (Via Squardìn) there are some parking spots reserved for teachers, which can be used when the school is closed (46°05'32.3"N 8°55'05.2"E). Upstream: from the school parking, head south, turn right onto Via Morengo, then right again onto Via Ai Ronchi. The road ascends with several switchbacks; follow it to the end and park in the large parking area (46°05'20.8"N 8°54'25"E). At the cable car: return to the main road and head north towards Rivera. Park in front of the Monte Tamaro cable car, in the large Splash and Spa Tamaro parking area (5 CHF/day) (46°07'34.7"N 8°55'11.5"E).
Return: Immediately after the last rappel, an aqueduct can be seen on the right bank near a resurgence/tributary. On the left bank, there is the access trail to the aqueduct, which can be used to exit the valley and return to the vehicles. A steel cable assists progression on the more exposed sections. Approximately 30 minutes for 250 m of descent (D-).

Duragno: Canyon Start
Approach: By cable car: from the Monte Tamaro cable car arrival at Alpe Foppa, take the trail south towards Alpe Duragno. The trail initially loses elevation to cross a small valley, then climbs over a ridge entering the Duragno basin. At Alpe Duragno, briefly follow the trail descending along the valley; when it crosses the stream at 1420 m, enter the side valley. The first waterfall is encountered shortly after (46°06'12"N 8°53'47.4"E). Approx. 50 minutes, +80 m elevation gain. With shuttle: take the uphill trail from the upper parking. At the first junction, keep right towards Alpe Uggi. Continue north until reaching the Duragno stream bridge, cross it, and at subsequent junctions keep left following signs to Alpe Duragno. When the trail crosses the stream again at 1420 m, enter the side valley. Approx. 2h, +660 m elevation gain. Without shuttle: from the school parking, head south, turn right onto Via Morengo, ignore Via Ai Ronchi, and turn right shortly after. Take the trail that initially cuts across the switchbacks of the paved road, then climbs steeply to Alpe Tortoi. Just above Alpe Tortoi, reach the Duragno stream bridge, then follow signs to Alpe Duragno as described in the shuttle approach. Approx. 3h, +1000 m elevation gain.

Approach: Follow the CAI 212 hiking trail for just under 1000m to the Forcella Rancolin (1874m). At the saddle, descend immediately into the valley of the Rio Marodia, there are only a few markers left of the path marked on the tabacco map, it first descends across meadows to the beginning of a dry streambed, then from 1700m down a small channel over easy boulders. The path crosses to the right at 1576 above the first higher waterfall (Latschengasse). This path would actually be a good approach option, but the Vaia storm of 2018 left enormous wind damage in the area west of the canyon, which has not yet been cleared up. An attempted ascent in 2021 exited there at 1400m in tree chaos. Climb around the first waterfall on the left behind boulders, the following approx. 60m high sloping waterfall can be rappelled from the right over mountain pines, or climbed around on the left over gravel. At the bottom, descend briefly in the gravel bed before the stream meets bedrock.
Tour: The stream quickly cuts into a gorge of about 10m depth in the bedrock, many pools and many small rappels which can sometimes be slid or jumped (7m max.). The flow is constantly increasing due to the many springs. We have set some anchors, but several passages have to be downclimbed or rappelled from natural fixed points. Some rappels go over several pools, make sure you can reach the next anchor before the rope retrival. The canyon then opens up briefly, via small slides to a 16m step and then to a 25m waterfall, where you can also jump 10m from a small platform on the left. From here in a gorge up to 30m deep with beautiful passages, which unfortunately is currently garnished with some trees. After the gorge, downclimb until an 18m rappel marks the exit of the canyon. Short downclimb to an artificial step.

Morini,” in the spaces in front of the tennis court (45.910667°N 8.888551°E).
Return: Upon reaching the bridge carrying the provincial road, exit the stream on the left bank and proceed single-file along the road until you reach the car park.

Murante: Parking at Exit
Access: Downstream: from Porto Ceresio, follow provincial road 61 (Via Casamora) towards Brusimpiano. After a slight uphill, you cross a small bridge; here you can see the stream exit on the left (45.914007°N 8.897893°E, assess the flow), while the Bellevue Park entrance is on the right. Continue on the provincial road for another 500 meters and park on the right near a sharp left curve (45.91865°N 8.899204°E). Upstream: following Provincial Road 29 towards Alpe Tedesco, near the hamlet of Borgnana, park at the municipal sports field “R. Morini,” in the spaces in front of the tennis court (45.910667°N 8.888551°E).
Return: Upon reaching the bridge carrying the provincial road, exit the stream on the left bank and proceed single-file along the road until you reach the car park.

Murante: Canyon Start
Approach: With shuttle: from the sports field parking, head towards the roundabout; 20 meters before it, take the road on the right that enters the adjacent forest (see photo below). Follow it for 80 meters until you catch sight of the river on your left (45.911403°N 8.889745°E). Without shuttle: from Porto Ceresio, at Via Cantine near the bus stop, starts itinerary 3 of the Cadorna line, “Sentiero della Pace,” also indicated as a variant of trail 3V from Porto Ceresio to Sette Termini. Follow this very scenic route until you reach the forest road mentioned above; you will find the river on your right.

Return: Upon reaching the bridge carrying the provincial road, exit the stream on the left bank and proceed single-file along the road until you reach the car park.

Monte: Parking at Exit
Access: Downstream: coming from Cremenaga towards Luino, pass through a tunnel and shortly after turn left towards Biviglione. Park in the first small clearings on the right just after the turn (45°59'20.7"N 8°47'04.3"E). Upstream: few parking spots in the center of Biviglione village (Via Biviglione) (45°59'19.5"N 8°46'45"E). It is also possible to park right at the canyon entrance; however, the road is currently closed to traffic and partially overgrown (45°59'11.3"N 8°47'03.3"E).
Return: After the last vertical, exit on the left bank to reach a trail that runs along the left side of the stream. After fording a small tributary, it is possible to climb up to the paved road, right at the downstream parking area. Approximately 5 min, 20 m D-.

Monte: Canyon Start
Approach: With shuttle: from the village of Biviglione, continue briefly on the paved road towards Montegrino Valtravaglia until you reach the old road to Cremenaga on the left. Follow the road to Cremenaga up to the bridge over the stream; the first part of the canyon is clearly visible from the bridge. To enter, go back a few meters, take the forest road on the left, and enter the water where it fords the stream (45°59'10"N 8°47'03.1"E). Approximately 15 min, 40 m D+. Without shuttle: from the downstream parking, it is possible to climb to Biviglione along the paved road or cut directly through the forest (steep but faster). For the latter option, take the trail coming from the stream, follow its left bank for a while until you spot a prominent ridge. A path allows you to ascend this steep ridge and reach the road to Cremenaga, right near the canyon entrance. Approximately 20 min, 120 m D+.

Hager-Doppelgrotte: Canyon Start
Approach: We walk along the forest road in the direction of Kössen until after approx. 1.3km a hiking trail on the left leads towards the mountain. We follow this along the Kalkgraben, which runs past on the right-hand side of the path. When the path exits at a stream (emergency exit of our tour), we cross it and follow the serpentine trail until we reach the stream again. When we reach the wooden ladder by the stream, we are in the right place and can climb in. The tour is only makeshift! It is therefore best to take a drill with you and you may have to do some rappels over trees.
Tour: This is a rather dry, not very deep tour, which only carries water at certain times after heavy rain. The highlight of the tour are two consecutive rappels, each with a larger grotto/cave, where free-hanging rappels are used.

Hager-Doppelgrotte: Canyon End
Return: The tour exits directly at the forest road next to the Tiroler Ache/Großache. We follow this road to the right for approx. 1.3 km until we reach the parking lot

Comment: Der Zustiegsweg kreuzt den Bach.
Approach: On the other side of the road, pass the farm on the right and follow the tractor tracks straight ahead across the meadow to the edge of the forest (bench). A steep path starts here and leads through the forest to the entry point in 15 minutes. There is enough space here for a group to change clothes.
Tour: The first rappel starts directly at the beginning from a tree on the right. A total of seven abseils up to a height of 30 meters follow almost immediately after each other. Depending on the conditions, sling ropes were knotted around trees (without a maillon) or galvanized single pitons 10 mm each with a ring drilled into them. A little tree entanglement does not hinder progress. Afterwards there is a little downclimbing in the forest canyon.

Kitzwandgraben: Parking at Entry
2025-06-09: Not very spectacular at the top and bottom, the middle is surprisingly rewarding with some higher rappels. Stands ok, rappels from trees often necessary.
Access: We drive from Niederaudorf in the direction of Brannenburg on the country road. We park the first car at the coordinates of the lower parking lot. Then take the second car in the direction of Tatzelwurm. When we have left the Agg district and are approximately at the height of the apple orchard on the left (before the Humelei), we turn right onto the narrower road towards Bichler See. Here we drive as far as the indicated coordinates of the Wildbarren hiking parking lot.
Return: Follow the river bed until you reach a wall in it, where you can also see a forest road and a hunter's stand on the orographic right-hand side. Alternatively, you can also get off a little further up, as there is still some walking to do below and only a small step to follow. To do this, we exit at the level of the remains of an artificial basin and trees marked with ribbons towards the forest road.

Kitzwandgraben: Canyon Start
2025-06-09: Not very spectacular at the top and bottom, the middle is surprisingly rewarding with some higher rappels. Stands ok, rappels from trees often necessary.
Approach: Access variant 1: One car to the exit and one car to the upper parking lot. From the upper parking lot, follow the forest road to the Felixalm. From there, follow the poorly recognizable path in a north-easterly direction to the entry point. Access variant 2: We walk from the lower parking lot in a northerly direction along the forest road until it exits into a dilapidated path in a westerly direction. We follow this path until we finally cross the ditch (emergency exit). From here it is not far to the entry point. Simply follow the path.
Tour: The tour starts relatively unattractively with three steeper downclimbs, over loose scree, of about 50m and two rappels over expansion bolts of about 30m. We climb down the next step via the left side before reaching a series of several rappels. These consist of two higher rappels (approx. 25-32m) and several places between 7m and 18m.

Wimgraben: Canyon Start
2024-10-04: With cold rainy weather and lots of precipitation, just the right time to practise the abseiling systems in a "gorge-like" environment.
Approach: Orographically follow the climbing tracks to the right of the stream upwards, then do not cross directly to the large waterfall but continue orographically to the right along the ridge until you can enter the large rappel from above.
Tour: Important: Some anchors are available, some only bolts. If you use the canyon for training, please take a few 10mm bolts, straps and rapid links with you. Climb from top to bottom (from memory): - 10m rappel from the tree (possibly jump/slide) - 25m rappel from the tree (anchors available) - 5m rappel diagonally - 3m rappel into small pond - small climb - 5m final waterfall

Approach: After a few meters downhill, a hiking trail branches off to the right (initially asphalted), which you follow until after about 10 minutes you turn left onto the path to Rio Lavarie. The path is well marked on OSM.
Tour: This is followed by 6 abseils in an open area (the highest is split) By now all higher rappels are equipped with 2 anchors. The tour starts with C20 & C10 on the right; after a few smaller sections we come to the big abseil. This is actually a C55 which is split approx. 35m / 20m (both belays on the left); there is room for a maximum of 2 people at the hanging place. Bypass the next edge on the right. Then either climb up to the right to the road and then take the usual access path for the lower part; or follow the streambed.

Breitgrieskarbach: Canyon Start
2024-10-15: Added (double) anchors where previously there were none, also added more abalakovs to take away some of the exposure in the downclimbs. Would be great to add quicklinks for all 7 abalakovs.
2024-07-07: Possible thunderstorms didn't allow for time to complete the anchors, just a quick visit to the canyon. Water levels seems rather stable throughout the year.
2022-09-15: Having done all tours in the area, i was curious about the smaller canyons that are nowhere described. To my surprise there was no anchors, i completed the tour on abalakov or downclimb.
Approach: Park the bike by the bridge and hike up orographic right. The trail takes a wide turn to the left and away from the canyon (do not mistake it for smaller animal trails) and comes back to the canyon gradually through small bushes and pine trees. The trail is not marked but is rather obvious in its upper part.

Gänsbach (oben): Canyon Start
Approach: Possibly check with the owners of the Straubinger Haus (1558 m) whether they can drive you to this house. From here it is probably only a 1-hour hike to the entry point. Otherwise, a steep hike of at least 2 hours is assumed.
Tour: According to hearsay, it was set up a very long time ago. However, the information is not certain and the tour should be regarded as not yet completed! Supposedly a very long tour with some high rappels. There have also been problems at the exit with local residents who don't like canyoning here. Any information about ascents can be entered under ascents.

2025-06-09: Little water, but the pools were at least full. All stands are only single bolts, but all ok.
2025-04-21: Short and interesting rappel canyon. Super canyon for people who are not so fond of aquatics. All stands still ok. 1x 40m ropes is enough (or 2x20m)
2025-04-12: Everything in order. Fuses simple but ok.
Approach: We follow the Hausstattweg until we reach a small settlement. From here, we walk in an easterly direction until we reach house no. 20. Shortly before the house, a path on the left leads past the property up the hill. About halfway up, we follow the serpentine path branching off to the left in a north-westerly direction until we cross our river at the entry point of the lower section and the exit point of the upper section. During access, you often have the opportunity to take a look into the canyon and check the water level.
Tour: We path into the stream on the orographic left side. After a short walk/downclimb passage, a series of downclimbs follows in the following order: A5 left, A25 right, A12 right, A8 right, S1, A9 right, A3 left All passages are to be completed via expansion bolts in an alpine and rather open canyon. However, there have also been problems with local residents at the exit who do not like canyoning here. Any information about ascents can be entered under ascents.

Access: We drive from Kössen in the direction of Erpfendorf. When we arrive in Erpfendorf, we turn into the second road on the left after the bridge over the Großache (Hausstattweg). Continue along this road until you pass a salt silo. Shortly afterwards there is a parking lot on the Grießbach (left-hand side of the road). It has been clarified with the local residents that you can park here, as there is a high probability of disputes in the rear area (near the canyon) if you park near the houses.
Return: We exit on the orographic left side via a clearly recognizable trail before the hut at the streambed. We then follow the same hiking trail past the golf course to the car.

Access: We drive from Kössen in the direction of Erpfendorf. When we arrive in Erpfendorf, we turn into the second road on the left after the bridge over the Großache (Hausstattweg). Continue along this road until you pass a salt silo. Shortly afterwards there is a parking lot on the Grießbach (left-hand side of the road). It has been clarified with the local residents that you can park here, as there is a high probability of disputes in the rear area (near the canyon) if you park near the houses.

Comment: Canyon from top (long river walk plus bolder hopping, not recommended)
Approach: To do only the (lower) part of the canyon entering on the 110m dry rappel, you walk from the viewpoint parking towards the dry river and then on the dry river bed to the edge of the big drop. On the right hand side you should see bolts for handline and a two bolt anchor. Potential "Middle" Entry: You park there next to the access road of a hotel (Hacienda Lomajim). There should be a small dam to be seen (not confirmed yet) and you follow down the dam outlet into the canyon. The last part looks like some scrambling to do, see also pictures. To do the full canyon: enter the canyon directly on the bridge on km 18.
Tour: If you would do the full canyon starting from the bridge you will have additional 1-2h of walking and bolder hopping with smaller pools. Entering from a potential "middle entry" you will have to do approximately 30 minutes of walking/downclimbing todo until you reach the first bigger potential rappel or jump. - rappel approx. 10m, bolts on the left - approx. 20m, bolts on the right - approx. 15m, bolts on the left - downclimb or abseil on a single bolt, approx. 15m, bolt left - approx. 20m abseil with handline, easy if you have long legs Do NOT exit the trip to the right on the path, continue for the next two rappels - there is another smaller rappel, maybe 15m - and the final one looks like the biggest one, approx. 25m (not confirmed yet) Then you do a small walk until you find a water way leaving on the left side of the canyon. If you do the entrance with the 110m dry rappel from the wall you will get roughly 35m, 30m and 40m rappels in the wall and then hit the canyon skipping the first three rappels but also a lot of bolder hopping, which would be the recommendation.

Comment: Start of the walking in the stream
Approach: Use the pictures to navigate to the canyon. Basically first from parking walk down the road for a few meters more, then a gravel road for 20meters in and to the left follow a small foot path. This path spilts after 100m, take the left one. Then walk up always following the bigger path, continue on a first ridge until you reach some houses. There continue until you see the three with the ant nest shortly after the house. Go left there and follow to more houses after 15-20min. Then walk to the stream=canyon after the houses (canyon can be seen right behind them) and walk at a small path. If you are scambeling bushes you are wrong, try to find a clear path. Then after a steep climb you will hit a gravel road, follow it to the right. Then you reach the entrance a few minutes after.
Tour: Downclimbing and bush whacking until a few minutes later you reach the drop - First rappel approx. 25m recommended from the tree to easily reach the bolts below. Otherwise you have to continue to the next bolts approx 50-60m further down - Second rappel approx 35m to two bolts in the middle of the stream - Third rappel approx 40m and full in the water flow. In order to avoid the water use the tree next to it - Last rappel approx 15-20m On the way back avoid crossing on the house, go to the canyon and cross out there to not „disturb“ the locals there

2024-11-06: Cool to be able to climb something like this for the first time in Switzerland in 2024. For Cotschna you should probably take anchors with you, we didn't get up there today.
Comment: Start Cotschna
Approach: Either take the forest road or the hiking trail up to Motta d'Err. For Cotschna, pass Alp Viglia, otherwise go straight down to the stream.
Tour: Cotschna was last done in about 2015, so the condition of the anchors should be checked. Several small rappels in a mighty gulch. It was drilled in 2024 so that you don't have to rappel in the water (only one step over the beam is necessary). At the narrowest rappel, a long rope traverse must be set up on the left before you can descend the last 15m vertically.

Tour: The canyon carries quite some water, most of the time you are not exposed to the full water flow but at some spots on high water levels it will become interresting. In the first part of the trip you will do some bolder hopping with nice pools in between, in the lower part you will find most of the highlights which can be repeated mostly.

Approach: Go to the animal crossing on the village entrance and follow the fence trough the fields. Keep kind of the same level (and also check gps) with ending up going down at about 20min walking crossing a small stream. Then go uphill again and continue on the ridge to the right later when you already see the entrance crossing over to the left an scrambling down.
Tour: The canyon consists of quite a lot of small rappels and two big ones, one at the middle 40m and one at the end 35m. The water flow can be checked at the first rappel as you be quite exposed to the water at the 40m rappel. A few smaller rappels and jumps up to 15m 40m rappel win the water More smaller rappels and some walking Final 35m rappel plus handline

Comment: Drop in at the cliff
Approach: Two options, the original approach was to get the GPS data and parking shortly after the farmhouse. Follow after the parking into the fields until you hit a small stream bed. Then follow this to the left until you come closer to the cliff. You then can use a lot of boulders to do bolder hopping for another 20min, then cross in grassland and over corn fields until you hit the entrance. A better approach would be probably (not done yet) to drive back from the ranch into town again and use the other access parking and see how far you could go on the road. Then follow there the obvious path to the edge. Do not follow the stream directly a its quite small and also in Grasland but try to reach the edge where the first drop is in the best available walking way.
Tour: First rappel (about 30m) could need some proper bolting, for example handline and above the tree would be a solid option. Currently you have the choice of rusty bolts of better a tree on the left. Be careful to keep the water pipe next to the tree intact. Next rappel can be from a tree on the left or bolt on the right, maybe around 20m. Then some walking until the highest rappel (55m) is needed. There there are some bolts behind the edge, better option would be probably to do a handline plus hanging belay after the corner. Then for approx. 30min you walk in the river with smaller pools. Later you got a descent on the right hand side off a tree (5m) and shortly after that an 10m rappel from bolts on the left. Then maybe 5min after that the canyon can be exited on a path to the left (stone piles). If you do the other 10m descent after that you probably will get in trouble because then you need to do some river swimming for 4km or somehow climb up again, so the recommendation is to exit the canyon shortly after the first 10m on the left hand side.

Comment: Park before the bridge
Access: You drive to the town of Acatic, then continue following the GPS point to „Rancho Venado“ where you pay 150pesos per person for the access to the road/hotsprings. From there you have two different options, one is drive a little further and park at the same road and do the car shuttle down to the bridge. The other probably better option would be to drive back from the ranch to the last crossing and go to the other approach parking. From there its probably much easier to reach the entry point as you can walk on farmer trails instead of the fields.

Rio Trementina: Canyon Start
2025-07-08: Today, after the 2nd thunderstorm, we surprisingly had water. The canyon has many beautiful spots, but is a pure rappel canyon, which is very rewarding with water. Unfortunately, there are no entries...
Approach: Parking entry: on foot, take the underpass near the church. Turn left, following the signposts to 680 foigen. Climb up the steep path to a fork at 410 m (Molinel); keep left (signpost Lamar- Val Trementina 681). After this fork we cross a first stream near a fence, a second (Rio della Netta) and the third is ours (Rio Trementina).
Tour: The slope north of Trento (east side of the Paganella summit) is apparently inaccessible and ugly: in 1955, a landslide destroyed a large part of the village of Zambana and the Zambana-Paganella cable car station. From a canyoning perspective, however, lines and routes can be guessed; after heavy rainfall, the waterfalls gush out everywhere. The Val Trementina begins at an altitude of 1550 m, at the foot of the vertiginous east face of the Paganella, and runs straight down to an altitude of 200 m, north of Trento. Here we suggest the lower part, which is logistically the most impressive. There is a middle section from an altitude of 1000 m, with old but good belays), and an upper section (from an altitude of 1700 m, set up expedition style in 2023) The lower part begins with easy downclimbs. After the third belay, the canyon narrows and becomes steeper. The Netta stream (also drilled in) joins. Continuous waterfalls follow until the end.

Approach: Follow the hiking trail up to the Flueseeli, and then past the Flueseehöri, down the scree slope to the start of the Trüebbach gulch.
Tour: At the beginning, the cut is not so deep, but now and then there are beautiful zebra rocks, up there you can still get out of the water, but unsure whether you can get out of the wall. Towards the bottom, the gulch becomes more and more massive, and then there is only one way: down. The tour is not recommended when the water level is high, as there are several vertical rappels that become extremely narrow over several meters.

Return: After the last rappel, either follow the stream until it flows into the Taurach and then follow the hiking trail back to the zoo or keep left beforehand and through the forest at the height of the power station on the forest road and then the hiking trail back to the zoo and car.

Schlaniggraben: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, follow the signs towards Hakaralm, past some huts, follow the forest road, initially rather flat until it starts to become steep for about 500m after a right-hand bend, then continue along the path towards the forest, you cross a streambed with striking concrete slabs that form a chute, then there is a fork which you follow to the right (slightly downhill), at the next fork after approx. 200m keep left, stay on the forest road, you cross a streambed 3 times until you reach another fork after approx. 1600m, here follow the road to the left uphill, the road climbs slightly until it flattens out after two hairpin bends, follow the road for approx. 600m until you reach a streambed, put on your shoes here and get in.
Tour: Climb directly into the haipin bend and follow the river for approx. 700m until you reach the first rappel (it is still necessary to cut out or look for an alternative entry!), bindings on the right, watch out for the tree lying across, very slippery, then descend right over two hairpins for approx. 25m until you reach a hairpin bends on the left where you can/must set up a rope bend to reach the next belay (very slippery!), rope traverse to the right onto two hairpins, abseil 25m and descend approx. 25m further to the belay on the left. 25m further down to the belay on the left, nice rappel with subsequent walking passages to the next belay on the left, stepped rappel over very slippery terrain (be careful!), followed by approx. 70m walking passage (keep right rather leave the river) to the next and longest rappel of the tour, belay on the right, after rappel, bolts available for lowering so that you don't have to rappel over the slippery terrain, but you have to look a bit, after downclimbing and walking until you come to the last rappel, belay on the left, be careful with the tree in the fall line.

Approach: From the lower Eurobin Creek carpark, rock hop up the creek until you nearly meet Crystal Brook. From here, head left, up steeply through varying vegetation until you reach aprox. 730m. From here, head right down into Eurobin Creek.
Tour: The first few abseils stand back from public view. They typically roll off and occasionally finish more steeply before reaching the next anchors. All but the first rapel have unlinked double rings held by screws or expansion bolts. Some bolts may be a little tricky to find in medium to high flow conditions, so be ready for some distant visual or whistle based communication. The rope pull on R5 appears to have claimed somebodys rope - although it is easy to prevent this.

Approach: Largely off track navigation. From the Fainters Falls carpark, follow the track and look to walk up the spur on your right hand side, heading SW up to an implied knoll. At the western end of this knoll, turn south and begin your descent into the creek.
Tour: The creek is full of moss, logs, and mossy logs. While beautiful and wild, it is slow. Meander above, under, and around obstacles in the creek until you reach the first abseil with unlinked double rings on the left. More creek walking and downclimbing and you will reach the finale - Fainter Falls. Best rapped as two pitches, off of a tree anchors part way down on the large ledge. There are many options. At the base, head out on true right to the walking track.

Approach: From the chalet, head north passed lookouts until you find the obvious creek.
Tour: The first anchors are located on RR (as are all the anchors on the headwall). You'll have to walk at least 40m back up the track towards your car, and head left out towards the rolling lip to locate them. Two unlinked free hangers back from the edge, or two glue ins, that you may like to rope up to reach. The first two abseils are reasonably dry. The R3 anchor is again on the RR side - the bolts are on a right facing block, and easy to overlook if you follow the water down... R4 anchors are very wet. A small (3-4) person stance. R4 takes you to the bottom of the head wall. Beware this pool drains between the boulders below, as does the following pool. The following anchors are all on true left. R5 (optional) provides an anchor to access R6. R7 is very reachy, so if you're short, afraid, or have slippery shoes, you may like some sort of aid (stick clip) to reach them. At 5'10", they are quite attainable with some stretch and confidence. It may be best to use this anchor to go all the way down to the final pool, as it is a tricky downclimb.

Bras Rouge (supérieur): Canyon Start
2024-12-31: Very exposed and long access. Short but worthwhile highlight = La Cathédrale. At R62, you rappel directly into the water jet. Water level photo attached.
Approach: Approx. 100m before the bridge (in the direction of Cilaos), a streambed/stone slab (Pissa canyon) goes steeply uphill (be careful, very slippery in places!). Pass a prominent, pointed rock on the left and continue straight up to just below the high rock face. To the left of this, the route now climbs briefly over a ridge (there is a rope hanging there) before descending steeply to a plateau. Then follow a narrow path further and further up, over several boulder fields (you are on the orographic left side of the Bras Rouge). Climb up to a small mountain pass, where the path then leads steeply down to the left through the vegetation. The steep path, as well as some rocky terrain that can be climbed, leads to the steep edge of the canyon. Here you can rappel into the canyon via 2 intermediate stands.
Tour: The relays in the cathedral are regularly swept away by the floods. The R3 RG seems to be the only one that stands the test of time (equipment relay 20 m before the end of the abseil, about 70 m to the exit, with some rubbing).

Tour: Now follow the streambed for about 400m. Four cascades follow in quick succession. After another section of walking, you reach the last and most beautiful abseiling point of the canyon, which leads into a double pool. 1. 12 m 2BH right, 1,BH left 2. 9 m 1BH+1SH left directly above the water line 3. 13 m 2 BH left into dry side arm 4. 8m 2BH left below trees 5. 7m 2BH left above under small wall Good equipment Exit possible at any time right or left Track at Wikiloc

To be on the safe side, you can install a fixed rope (20 m) as an emergency exit at the pipe bridge visible from above. The gorges are very overgrown. Depending on the vegetation, head into the streambed and through the reeds to the first abseil point.

Approach: Before the large bridge at the interruption of the small wall 37°55.92842'N, 15°14.03908'E in a serpentine down to a kind of ford (entry)
Tour: This is followed by some short chutes and steps that are well equipped with anchors. Then comes the highlight of the canyon, the 10 m rappel in the waterline. If the water pressure is too high, you can rappel directly into the pool to the right of a somewhat hidden sling on a clamping block. A small step follows and you slide through a chute into the last pool 37°56.07888'N, 15°14.04236'E. Under the bridge there is another pool with a swimming area where you may be able to make a small jump. Otherwise the pools are too shallow for jumping.

Don't walk as far as the bridge, because the 30m down to the start are full of trees, rather walk down through the field from the north.

La Doue de l'Eau: Canyon Start
2025-06-06: Nice little canyon, great for the area! The description is based on the log of the ascent, so please feel free to check and correct it.
Comment: Einstieg an der Brücke
Approach: Access is via the wider path (keep left) to the bridge. There you take the path. - Alternatively, you can climb directly to the exit and swim, slide and jump there. Then you don't need any other equipment.
Tour: At the beginning, the water is very shallow, the stones round and very slippery. From time to time there are trees lying across, but they are not difficult to avoid. After walking along the stream for a while, you come to a dam, which you bypass to get to the first ~5m abseil. The stones of the dam should be avoided, it doesn't seem to be superiore solid. The actual canyon character begins here. After the rappel, you can make the first small hops (remove any branches beforehand). After a few meters you can let yourself drift through a small water channel and arrive at a somewhat bumpy slide (sitting but possible). Orographically to the left is also a 6-7m jump and an opportunity to rappel. Everything can easily be repeated. The pool is pleasantly deep pretty much exactly below the jump (again, it doesn't hurt to check beforehand). The pool is immediately followed by a short 4m rappel (orographic right), a few pools and then the canyon is over again. Exit orographic right. The canyon can be exited in any direction at any time in an emergency.

2025-06-19: We started the tour today, there are currently 7 abseiling points, probably 2 more to come, we took a tree to save time.
Approach: The map only shows the old way up anyway. First 50m along the pipeline to the east, then steeply up the cart track via a few hairpin bends. Past the electricity pylon and up another step. Then the path leads horizontally roughly southwards over the Kokra into the valley. Either descend shortly before, using a hand rope down the steep forest to the stream 50m, or up to the boulder wall and then leisurely in.
Tour: From the boulder wall it is 250m to the first narrow section where you put on the neo. There are currently a total of 9 abseiling points. No waterfall is higher than 9m. You should only have 2x20m of rope with you, as the first double waterfall is rappelled in one. The watercourse has a good grip but is very slippery in places. At

Ruf da Antermont
2025-07-14: First canyoning ascent 7 years ago, 2 new stands drilled today, but more could be added.... Beautiful, small, alpine canyon, with mega panorama 😍.

Ödkarbach: Canyon Start
2025-07-13: We placed about 15 new 10mm anchors, after many steps (some of which are dangerous to downclimb) had not yet been set up at all.
Comment: Abseilen von Latschen über trockenen Seitengraben in das Bachbett
Approach: There are several ways to get to the Vomper Loch (the one described here, via the Knappensteig, via the Katzenleiter). The quickest of these is by bike via the Ganalm, as you save about an hour's walk downhill on the way back. Due to the length and remoteness of the route, it is advisable to bivouac at the Hüttl in der Au. From the Umlberg parking lot, cycle or e-bike past the Ganalm to the start of the Kristlalpl path (e-bike: 30 min). Park the bikes there. You should be sure-footed for the Kristlalpl path, which leads down to Vomper Loch. From there, climb up the opposite slope and head west at the junction with the hiking trail through Vomper Loch (yellow signs). You cross two ditches before you reach the exit of the Ödkarlbach and see the final cascades (1.5h since leaving the bikes). From there, follow the path into the valley for about 15 minutes until you reach the steep, pathless ridge. The ascent through mountain pine fields is arduous up to about 1570m, where you will repeatedly find cut-off mountain pines. Once at the top, you unfortunately have to descend another 200 meters through even more difficult and very dense mountain pine terrain. About halfway up to the streambed, you will find historic, heavy pitons on which you can rappel down a steep chute. From there, follow a dry ditch and rappel from the mountain pines into the streambed at an altitude of approx. 1370m (3h from the Ödkarlbach exit). Long pants and DEET insect repellent are recommended due to the extreme plague of ticks in the entire Vomper Loch.
Tour: Around 25 abseils into crystal-clear pools in a wild, sometimes very incised environment are a reward for the exertions of access. There are also smaller slides and jumps, but there is definitely no risk of injury, because without a satellite phone you cannot hope for external help within the next few hours. Highlights include a 45m rappel and beautiful narrow sections in white limestone. The final combination of waterfalls is also very attractive. Most of the abseils now have 10mm anchors (easy), but there are still some perfect 8mm stands to be found.

Comment: Ausstieg bei Kreuzung mit Wanderweg oder noch letzten Abseiler in den Vomperbach mitnehmen und durch's Vomper Loch zurück
Return: If you bivouac, continue into the valley to the Hüttl in der Au (35 min). Otherwise, you can either walk back along the hiking trail or hike through the Vomper Bach stream to the Kristlalplsteig bridge (45 min). From there take the path back up to the bikes (~1h)

Comment: Einstieg bei einem riesigem Felsblock
Approach: There are several ways to get to the Vomper Loch (the one described here via Ganalm, via the Knappensteig or via the Katzenleiter). The quickest of these is via the Ganalm on a bike, as you save about an hour of walking downhill on the way back. Due to the length and remoteness of the route, we recommend bivouacking at the Hüttl in der Au. From the Umlberg parking lot, cycle or e-bike past the Ganalm to the start of the Kristlalpl path (e-bike: 30 min). Park the bikes there. You should be sure-footed for the Kristlalpl path, which leads down to Vomper Loch. From there, climb up the opposite slope and head west at the junction with the hiking trail through Vomper Loch (yellow signs). You cross two ditches before you reach the exit of the Ödkarlbach and see the final cascades (1.5 hours since you parked your bike). From there, the route continues up and down the valley. After about 30 minutes you reach the streambed of the Vomper Bach, from there continue to the hunting hut "Hüttl in der Au". You can leave your equipment there if you are bivouacking. About 15 minutes further along the stream you will see the Spritzkarbach. A steel cable has been installed on the orographic left-hand side, which first leads over steep, rocky terrain, then through mountain pines. After about an hour of easy climbing, you reach the entry at an easily recognizable, huge boulder at an altitude of 1440m. Long pants and DEET insect repellent are recommended due to the extreme tick infestation throughout Vomper Loch.
Tour: The rappel canyon starts with several small steps. The highlight is certainly the 45m waterfall (left), which is perfectly secured with 2 anchors. The remaining stands are almost all equipped with 10mm rings. A total of approx. 25 abseiling points.

Vatos: Canyon Start
Approach: Take the dirt road on the left that climbs very steeply for about 1.2 km to a picnic area. Arrive near a grove and continue left, leaving the grove on the right. Descend to Vatos, about 800 m from the picnic area.
Tour: The route is straightforward and begins approximately fifty metres downstream from the confluence with the Karagiannaki. About a third of the way along the route, on river left, you come across the final waterfall of Kousianda.

Vatos: Canyon End
Return: Walk to the beach and call Nicholas. If walking back to Pachía Ammos beach: about 500 m from the sea, on the right bank, a steep hiking trail begins. Take the hiking trail, about 3 km long and signed with red marks, which leads to the beach of Pachia Ammos through an often rugged path, with exposed sections and with a beautiful view of the sea. The first stretch, steeply uphill, leads to the most exposed section. A descent, very steep at times, followed by a climb leads to the pass from which you descend towards the beach and the parked vehicle.

Dolinzabach: Canyon Start
2025-07-20: We have a great new canyon in Carinthia. It was first climbed by the four of us. All abseiling points were equipped with 10-point anchors. Jonathan from the water rescue service was also there. The ca...
Approach: Follow the road into the valley for about 300m and descend on the sand road to the bridge over the Vorderberger Wildbach. From here, climb steeply uphill along the road until you can see into the canyon at the first hairpin bends. Before that, descend without a path over steep forest into the canyon, which soon narrows.
Tour: After a short walking passages and easy downclimbs, you are faced with the first abseils. The descent is quite continuous, with 30m high rock faces to the left and right and beautiful rappels. All abseiling points are currently secured with a 10mm bolt. Please only pull off the rope when you see the next anchor, two ropes go over more than one pool. At the high waterfall, use a traverse bolt to move 5m to the left to the bolt and then rappel either 42m directly or 12m to the hanging pool and then 30m from the hanging stand on the left behind the edge. The last waterfall flows directly into the Vorderberg torrent There is also a narrow upper section that begins at 1320m below the last flood protection structures. Unfortunately, this part is completely overgrown and is very difficult to walk on (clamping wood abseils and 1 BH).

Here, too, enter the "village center" and then turn left towards the Maria Ditch church. Before you reach the church, turn right towards Kotschitzalm and Dolinzaalm. Follow the narrow asphalt road to the parking lot near the Koschitzalm. The road to the Dolinzaalm is currently closed to public traffic.
Return: We made a very arduous and pathless ascent through the steep forest for about 140m to the road. You could possibly descend the stream to the Vorderbergerklamm gorge and add this on.

Rio di Purone: Canyon Start
Comment: Zustieg über trockenes Bachbett
Approach: From the parking lot, continue on foot to reach the riverbed of the Tagliamento along a forest path, then cross the river using a bridge. Continue uphill along the banks on a forest path until it ends, passing the end point of the tour where you can check the water level. At the exit of the forest path, enter the forest and continue towards our route (to the east) until you find the path that climbs steeply near the first rock walls (to the west). Follow it again in the direction of our route, underneath the rock faces, until you walk high above the stream. Continue climbing until the path moves away from our canyon (see Tabacco map). At this point, the path continues upwards, where you have two options A) Reach a first clear dry tributary (altitude approx. 995 m) (marked on the Tabacco map) and descend carefully to some rocky outcrops and trees, from where we descend to the riverbed (about 60 m). This descent leads to the riverbed above the third rappel. B) From the first tributary, continue along the slope, looking for the best route on steep terrain to reach the next dry tributary (marked on the Tabacco map). Choosing the best path path and climbing up and down, you will cross a small streambed and then reach a second, larger streambed (at an altitude of approx. 988 m), from which you descend (approx. 100 m) over trees rappel down to the bed of the tributary stream marked on the map. As soon as you are in the tributary stream, you can easily reach the riverbed of our route.

Rio Ronchiai-Pissanda: Parking at Exit
Comment: Parkbucht
Access: Von Tolmezzo aus nehmen Sie die SS 52bis in Richtung „Passo di Monte Croce Carnico – Paluzza”. Nachdem Sie die Ortschaft Paluzza passiert haben, fahren Sie noch etwa zwei Kilometer weiter und parken dann auf einem kleinen Platz auf der linken Seite, von dem aus Sie den letzten Wasserfall des Baches sehen können.
Return: Nach dem letzten Wasserfall geht es weiter über das Flussbett und dann durch den Wald am linken Ufer, bis man das Flussbett des But erreicht. Hier sollte man nach einer Stelle suchen, an der man den Fluss am besten durchwaten kann. Sobald man das gegenüberliegende Ufer erreicht hat, gelangt man zur Staatsstraße und damit zum Auto.

Approach: Fahren Sie weiter in Richtung Paluzza und biegen Sie unmittelbar nach der ersten Rechtskurve links in Richtung Noiaris ab. Am Dorfplatz angekommen, biegen Sie links in die Via Ramajor ein und folgen Sie dieser bis zu einem Schild, das die Durchfahrt verbietet. Parken Sie Ihr Auto in der Nähe eines Hauses. Fahren Sie zu Fuß weiter und biegen Sie kurz darauf, an einer Informationstafel, links auf den Wanderweg CAI Nr. 159 ab. Folgen Sie dem Weg bergauf, vorbei am Rio Major und einem Schild mit der Aufschrift „Malga Dauda”. An der ersten Rechtskurve verlassen Sie den Weg Nr. 159 und nehmen den Weg, der nach links abzweigt. Dieser zunächst breite und ansteigende Weg verliert allmählich an Steigung und wird zu einem Pfad, der in den Wald hineinführt und auf gleicher Höhe bleibt. Folgen Sie diesem Weg, vorbei an einem Wassereinzugsgebiet, bis Sie einen Baum mit einer gut sichtbaren gelb-roten Markierung erreichen. Steigen Sie weiter bergauf, lassen Sie diese Markierung links liegen und gehen Sie dann auf einer scheinbaren Ebene weiter, bis Sie das Flussbett sehen können. Steigen Sie auf einem nicht vorgegebenen Weg hinunter, bis Sie es erreichen.
Tour: Der erste Teil der Route besteht aus dem Rio Ronchiai, der nach einem Abschnitt auf offenem Gelände und einigen Vorsprüngen zum Zusammenfluss mit dem Rio Pissanda führt.

Approach: From the parking lot, take the path that leads gently up to the Cirque de Cagateille. Once at the foot of the cirque, follow a well-maintained path that climbs sharply in the undergrowth and leads to the Étang de la Hillette. At the edge of the forest, at an altitude of 1543 m, leave the path and keep to the right, following the contour line. You will reach a rocky outcrop which you follow to an altitude of around 1570 m. From there, you descend more or less well down a first canyon, cross it and climb up a ridge where, at about 1545 m (finally), you will find the tree that marks the starting point of the hike.
Tour: Vertical mountain stream in beautiful surroundings (Cirque de Cagateille). 45 m of ropes are enough if you do everything in the RG in the big waterfall. Descent for technicians and small groups. The equipment is a bit outdated in places, but the large waterfall is secured with anchors. The equipment is varied, AN on tree trunks, on rocks, anchors, double rings, spits: so very good for training!!!

La Poltrona: Canyon Start
Comment: Ankunft im Bachbett
Approach: From the parking lot, walk to the exit of the football pitch and climb up through the dry streambed parallel to the Poltrona. From an altitude of around 300-350 m, look for a small mountain pass on the left to reach the canyon. Most of the time you will be following goat paths.

Valle di Cocco: Canyon Start
2025-09-11: Short canyon to do in the afternoon. Bolting could need some improvement though. We jumped into the maggia to float to the bridge at the exit.
Approach: Walk up to Pianello, go through the village and when you see the very last house, head into the rocks you see in the forest (alt. 760m). It is possible to fully go down to the creek without rope, but it's wiser to take it out, at least once 25m.
Tour: When you come to the first drop, you'll first think what the hell did you even get to, it's just boulders after that first drop. But as the tour moves on, you'll notice those Boulder rappels aren't too bad actually. To finish off, the last 2 drops are in the very nice red rock that's also in Serenello.
