Bares: Canyon Start
2025-08-25: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Bares DC+ , equipment ok, 7.30h à 4 . Tres beau canyon, très fatigant: beaucoup de tout, beaucoup de marche, de sauts, de nage, de rappel! (Qu...
2025-08-24: Currently top water level. Double anchor where necessary. No high rappels, but technical. Be careful with the small glued anchors in case the last one goes with a blocked 8-point. They fit perfectly...
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.

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.

Approach: If you start from the village of Alpe Orlo, you go up to the houses on the right --> there is a signpost with the signs Val Pilotera and white-blue marking (canyon) --> you follow this path past a fountain --> after about 15 min on the left there is a descent to the stream/water drainage (another white-blue marking on the stone) --> after the ladder you are in the stream (about 1100Hm). 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).

Comment: Alternativ Richtung Parkplatz von der Hauptstraße abbiegen und die erste Rechts "hinter" Unifix vorbei auf einem Schotterplatz in den Feldern parken.
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.

2025-09-09: In very nice condition. Made before Malinberg.
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).

Comment: Parkmöglichkeit bei Kirche
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.

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.

2025-08-19: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Leale (Quelle:
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. (N46.299787, E13.041642)
Return: Just follow the path to the parking lot as you did for access.

Val Zemola: Canyon Start
2025-09-21: Slide at the end can be slid into the washing machine
2025-09-21: All belays top, access from below very well secured, belays are mostly exposed and can be reached by short removable rope traverses, during our ascent several pools were full of gravel
2025-09-20: Weapons all perfect. Some nice exposed handrails and good flow. If it wasn't all gravel some passages would be very sporty and technical.
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 (secured with a steel cable), without any great difference in altitude, to a concrete wall. From here, a short downclimb takes you to the stream/entrance to the lower section at approx. 810m. For the upper entry, stay on the path for another 10-15 minutes. At the end, the path leads over a small bridge to the other side and shortly afterwards descends via stirrups into a stone gully in the open part of the gorge. Here is the entry to 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.

Torrente Albola: Canyon Start
2025-09-26: We did it yesterday at 24.9 with lots of water. There aren't any particular problems because the last 3 rappels can also be done outside the flow. We used the website https://www.floods.it/public/Cha...

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

Palvico: Canyon Start
2026-02-22: Not much colder in February than in summer ;)
2025-10-06: A great short canyon, perfect for sporty beginners apart from the large final waterfall. It is used commercially and is equipped accordingly. As usual, you can find a video of the tour on Instagram...
2025-09-25: Despite the rains of the last few days the flow was relatively low/normal. Downstream of the bridleway almost no water. Perfect anchorages. Some dives doable,despite the graveled pools. Gorgeous envir...
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.

2025-09-08: Nice vertical canyon for practicing, we didn't need any rope traverses at the water level. Before you reach the first anchor with a badge on the right, you have to downclimb about 5 steps. Be careful...
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 beautiful, open, south-facing canyon. Several short to medium rappels, with some exposed stands (rope traverses possible). You should be careful on the abseils because of the sharp edges. The rappels are mostly in the water, but the arrival pools are not deep. There are only short walking passages, if any, between the steps. The highest abseils are in the middle section of the tour. The Rio Val flows into the Palvico. The combination of the two rather short streams is recommended.

Access: From Torbole, drive up towards Val di Ledro and past the lake. After a few serpentines downhill at km 47 (on the SS 240, 3km before Storo), park the first car (here you can already see the last rappel and the water level). Take the second car in the direction of Storo. In Storo, follow the main road as far as the "SAV" DIY store. Turn right immediately after the DIY store and follow the narrow, straight road. Turn right at the small signs with the inscription "Via Trento". Follow the mountain road for approx. 3.6 km (you go through a tunnel and past a few houses). At the highest point you will come to a pilgrimage chapel. The road now leads slightly downhill. After a short stretch with a few bends, there is a sharp left-hand bend where a forest road (old "Privato" no-driving sign) branches off to the right. Follow the forest road downhill to the right (approx. 40m). At the first bend there is limited parking (max. two cars) (840m).
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).

2025-09-28: all fine after a evening of heavy rain
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
2025-09-17: Rockfall in the block terrain. Slides in the upper part were all deep and the anchors were fine.
2025-07-12: All slides doable, very very nice! 6 hours for two between access and return
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).

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.

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.

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.

Piovere (Vione inferiore): Parking at Entry
Comment: Bucht an der Straße ohne Parkverbot, ca 100 m vor dem Einstieg. Wir wurden "freundlich" darauf hingewiesen, dass das der Parkplatz der Kommerziellen sei und wir doch bitte weiter die Straße runter auf dem großen Parkplatz parken sollen, weil sie es ihren Gästen nicht zumuten können so weit zu laufen. Ein entsprechendes Schild gibt es natürlich nicht.

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.

2024-08-03: All stands ok, nice beginner gorge
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.

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.

Val Fogare (inferiore): Canyon Start
2025-05-31: All necessary anchors available. 2x 30m ropes sufficient. Everything clean, no wood.
2024-08-23: We heard that the canyon is doable. Some anchor points are old, but still functional. One traverse is "the most fun". But it's okay, everything is fine ♡
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.

2024-07-26: With the upper part a wonderful canyoning tour
Access: Coming from Belluno, head towards Agordo and continue on the SS203 into the Cordevale Valley. After the village of Mas comes the village of Peron. About 4Km after Peron, along the Torrente Cordevale, on a long straight left there is a large picnic area with camper pitches. 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.

2025-08-21: Clogged pools that do not allow for jumps and slides
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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

2025-10-12: Scenically beautiful! Nice possible jumps. The condition of the approach slope was okay.
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).

2025-04-01: Water in the pools, but not flowing. Water quality still ok. Leaving the potholes via the ropes requires some strength/technique
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: If you have arrived by car, you can descend directly from the parking lot, at the bridge at 777m orographic right into the stream. If you take the path on foot, follow the sand road for about 400m until you reach an information sign. Turn left here via a ford across the streambed and ascend to below a farmhouse. From here, ascend high above the canyon on a wonderful, beautifully prepared hiking trail and follow the signs for Sorberine/Monte Olinie. At the Sorberine forester's lodge, head south briefly along the road and at the first hairpin bend head west on a path. Follow this path to a viewpoint high above the canyon (Chirridoriu) and continue up to the abandoned Talana - Villagrande road. Continue on the road to the bridge at 777m. (2h). Long but scenic and varied.
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. Emergency exit to the left at approx. 380m. Continue along the beautifully washed out streambed, with some possible jumps. The gorge exits with a nice 37m waterfall directly in the stream. After that it's just a streambed hike.

Comment: Parkplatz bei Infoschild (cwiki)
Access: Parking exit: On the SP56 from Urzulei to the bridge over the Riu Mortorinai. Before reaching the bridge, turn right onto a sand road. You could theoretically drive 400m up to a cowshed with an information sign and a small parking area, but this road was in very poor condition in 2023. It is better to park beforehand, near the bridge. Parking entry: From Arbatax, first take the SS198 in a westerly direction. After 2.1 km, turn right onto the SP27. After about 17 minutes on the SP27 (15.7 km), turn right into the village of "Villagrande Strisaili" onto "Via Roma". Drive into the village on "Via Roma". Stay on this road for a short while until you have to turn onto Via Giuseppe Mazzini (3-storey building with the restaurant Sapori di Sardenga and the signs for campo sportivo). Via Giuseppe Mazzini" leads out of Villagrande in the direction of the mountain road (you drive past the soccer pitch, which cannot be overlooked). From the entrance to the soccer pitch, follow the partially damaged road for 4.6 km until you reach a bridge with a detour/parking area. This is the direct entry point to Bacu Sa Figu. Alternatively possible from Talana, but not advisable as the road is extremely prone to falling rocks and slipping. Not for novice drivers or fearful drivers.
Return: Emergency exit: At approx. 380m, exit the stream on the left and briefly follow the tributary "Baccu Troccosuloai". Cross the tributary stream and meet a wide forest road on the orographic left side. Follow this forest road for about 1h uphill (past 2 houses/picnic area) "Casermetta Soberine" 550m to the road. Once on the road, follow it to the left for approx. 20-25min to the bridge/parking entry. Alternative: You can also walk up to the road via the signposted hiking trail 531. After the 37m waterfall, you can either stay in the streambed or cross to the left via climbing trails to the access trail.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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).

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.

Access: In Tolmezzo turn onto the SR 512 in the direction of Verzegnis; Immediately after the large bridge over the Tagliamento turn right in the direction of Verzegnis onto the SP1; On the SP1 you now remain for 18.2 km: Here you go past Verzegnis relatively long uphill, over the "mountain pass" and then downhill again; after about 14km you come to some hairpin bends (village of Pozzis), then follows a grade through two small stone tunnels, before you after 18km you come to 2 hairpin bends. 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.
Return: Back downstream in the riverbed of the Tagliamento 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.

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.

2025-08-18: Very beautiful and fun short canyon! Many jumps and short abseils in a canyon with beautiful striped rock.
2024-10-17: Stream due to weather forecast rain. It is possible to leave the canyon in many places. It tolerates water well and would certainly be "interesting" if the water level was three or four times higher t...
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: 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.

Rio Belepeit (Superiore): Waypoint3

Val Vielia IV: Canyon Start
2025-08-16: All parts have been walked on. Unfortunately, the entry jump on the 4 is not working at the moment because there is too much gravel in it, otherwise everything is tip top.
2025-07-20: Today we did all the parts consecutively. It took three guides 8 hours and 30 minutes car to (shuttled) car and we tried to move efficiently. Italian topos are amazing. The whole thing was probably...
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.

If you leave the canyon before the last passage (option 1 see approach), then you have to walk uphill without a path for about 40-50m through the undergrowth, sometimes steeper, before you reach the road and the parking lot.

It is possible to park here both to the left and to the right of the road and the marked path 377 starts directly from here.
Return: If you walk to the exit of the canyon, it is best to stay in the streambed until about 150m after the bridge and then walk out of the canyon ortographic left, where you can walk directly back to the bridge on hiking trail 829. (Option 2 see approach). If you leave the canyon before the last passage (option 1 see approach), then you have to walk uphill without a path for about 40-50m through the undergrowth, sometimes steeper, before you reach the road and the parking lot.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2025-07-22: Relatively easy to walk. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of garbage in the canyon and occasionally the smell of dead bodies.
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.

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.

2025-08-08: Nice tour with kids. A lot of canyon for 10 min access. Everything ok ...cold as usual
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.

Rio Tralba (superiore): Canyon Start
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.

Rio Tralba (superiore): Parking at Exit
Comment: Ausstiegsparkplatz Rio Alba, Rio Trabla. Achtung, hier wurden schon Autos aufgebrochen
Access: From Moggio Udinese up into the Aupa valley. Turn right to Pardis and follow the road further up the mountain. Turn right at a junction. Parking possibility in front of barriers at about 1050m.
Return: Continue through the canyon or break off via the path branching off to the right at the dam. This path is exposed in sections and slipped in one place. It leads in about 50 min. to the power station at Rio Alba and further in 30min. to the access road.

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.

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.

Rio Marzolo - Val Grande: Canyon End
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.

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.

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).

Rio Barbar: Canyon End
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."

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.

Val dei 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

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.

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: 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.

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.
Return: Where the canyon opens, left on a path that leads to the Hermitage.

Fontana Santa: Canyon Start
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.

Immediately before the bridge take the road to the right and continue until the picnic area, from where you can see the final waterfalls. 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).

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.

Shortly afterwards, at the crossroads with a barn on the right, leave path no. 3 and continue to follow the forest road, which leads to the left, with the wooden sign "TVB - Oberer Wasserfall". At the exit of the road, to the right of a wooden fence, follow the path with horizontal white and blue stripes leading into the forest (signs "_Katzenleiter" and "Schritzenholz"). On a tree you will then see a wooden sign "TVB - for sure-footed - for experts", From here you will reach the wooden bridge that crosses the beginning of the canyon in 5 minutes.
Tour: Generally a technical canyon that should not be underestimated. To be avoided in spring or after rainfall, better after dry periods. It is very slippery, handrails are required, you overcome hanging pools of water. Possibly 2 beautiful 7 m/8 m long slides. The last waterfall of 120 m is often indicated as 30 m + 80 m, but in reality there are two more usable stands. We recommend rappelling 20 m and using the first stance to get out of the strong current, see your partner and communicate with them more easily. This is followed by a 15 m descent. From here, those with an 80 m ropes are recommended to make a single move, otherwise the next belay at 25 m/30 m must be taken, which is far to the right and not easy to reach (very slippery).

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: 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.

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.

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!
2025-04-12: all stands ok
2024-07-26: Everything ok
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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).

Comment: Anker im oberen Abschnitt nicht vorhanden oder mangelhaft.
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)

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: 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.

2025-12-05: Walked incl. superiore. Everything tip top
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.

2025-10-03: Very nice canyon with a lot of jumps into deep green pools. We were 7 people, took 1:15 hours for the ascent, about 3 hours for the tour, which we didn't rush, and about 20 - 30 minutes back. Soon aft...
2025-09-27: Water level normal, anchors all in order, great upper part! Also in the Alba still super jumps in emerald green pools. Time with 5 people from car to car approx. 6h
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: 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.
Tour: Canyon is fairly open, offers some jumps and slides, but is otherwise underwhelming; emergency egress possible almost everywhere

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.

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.

Boetto: Waypoint1
Comment: "bergerie" (descente)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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: From the parking lot on the footbridge over the Settimana and continue to the Rifugio Pussa. Behind the refuge, turn left up the path. The path continues towards the valley of the Rio Stuet and then follows the slope in a northerly direction. At a fork with a signpost, take the path towards Col de Post. It leads down to the streambed of the Rio Stuet (entry).
Tour: 12 rappels, lots of downclimbing, short walking passages, few possible jumps

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.

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.

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.

Approach: Follow the frost road to the wide and mostly dry gravel bed of Torrente Saisera and cross it. At the karst spring, follow the nature trail to the right and cross Torrente Miscorca. The nature trail soon meets a forest road and turns right, but we stay straight on the forest road until a blow becomes visible on the left and further up a rocky streambed. Climb to the streambed and ascend along its orographic right sides for about 30m until an inconspicuous path crossing to the south becomes visible. Follow this path until Torrente Carnizza, which is reached just above the big waterfall.
Tour: 5 rappels, the high waterfall is rappelled in two stages (27m+30m)\n

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.

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.

Rio Nero di Ora: Canyon Start
2025-09-20: The anchors were all in top condition and the rock was grippy. Most of the pools were at least waist-high with gravel and although it looked very wild from above, there was no serious danger of water...
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
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.

Approach: Follow the steep road, open only to residents, until you reach Genna Alta. At a fountain turn right and follow a forest road to the entry for the Soffia. Cross the stream and climb to the right to a crossroads. Follow the right crossing path, exposed in places, to the streambed of Val Pisson.
Tour: ATTENTION: the "obligatory 5 m jump" at the entry is currently (May 2024) NOT possible, the pool is only waist deep! However, there is an old and frayed rope sling for rappeling on a small clamping block on the left at the bottom. * 5m downclimb, clamping block bottom left * downclimb\n\n * 35m rappel, 2 anchors left * 11m rappel, 2 anchors right Now follows the 105 meter high waterfall: * 15m rappel, 2 anchors & stirrups on the left. 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.

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.

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.
2025-07-27: A pleasant morning in the gorge. Equipment ok.
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.

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.

Return: After the 26-metre-high waterfall, leave the stream to the right and head south up the slope. You will soon find a path that leads to a slope. Follow this to the parking lot. The beginning in particular is often overgrown.

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.

Access: from Fornaci di Barga on the SR 445 through Filecchio: see also photo gallery picture no.1 A conversion also seems possible according to the map at see The access path to the river can be seen on the linked map. However, with 2x18 min. duration of the conversion and an even longer walk, this is not worthwhile. After all, the difference in altitude is only 100m for access without conversion.

Bidighinzos: Canyon Start
Approach: See "Overview" in "Photo Gallery": alternatively access to the top (E1) or only to the lower part (E2).\nThe descent can also be combined with a visit to the Nuraghi village of Tiscali and/or Grotta Vidighinzos, see:
Tour: See videos and photos.In part I 3 rappel: 16m -19m (12m+7m) - 20m\nIn part II 5-6 rappel: 13m - 5m - 4m - 5m - 20m

Bidighinzos: 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 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.

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.

Approach: From Maglioggio, follow the signs for Madonne del Ronco/Alpe Aleccio. You come to another road (closed to motor vehicles), follow it for a short distance, leave it to the left at a small chapel and later rejoin the small road. Follow it to a water drainage where you enter the Antolina (downclimb the ladder on the right).
Tour: The canyon gradually becomes deeper and narrower until it exits with a 55m waterfall. The water falls down in a chute that is so narrow that you cannot see it from further out. Before the high bridge, there is an exit on the right up to the road. Slippery terrain.

Cairo: Canyon Start
2024-07-06: Nice creek with dips and slides. All good.
Approach: From the car we descend forest path. After a serpentine the path drops steeply and in a bend we see a power pole. Continuing on the forest road we come to a small house with a barrier. Behind the house begins a path that leads after about 5 minutes on a covered channel to the entry.
Tour: At the beginning a woody forest canyon, the canyon becomes much more attractive as it progresses.

Cairo: Parking at Entry
2024-07-06: Nice creek with dips and slides. All good.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Val Rinaldo: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Take the E55 to Carnia, then take the SS52 to Villa Santina. At Villa Santina take the SR355 through Ovaro to Sappada. Pass the impressive Piave gorge Orrido dell Aquatona until the bridge over the Rio Bianco - parking facilities immediately before and after the bridge.

Val Rinaldo: Canyon End

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.

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.

Serviera: Canyon Start
Approach: This is a rugged, remote, long and strenuous canyon. Access requires an overnight stay (in the Callarelli cave), unless you are very fit and set off before sunrise. The access is strenuous. In summer, the heat can be oppressive. Fortunately, there is a drinking fountain along the way. Alternatively, you can walk the entire route. This extends the hike by around 40 minutes.
Tour: 47 Rappels Water is always scarce in the upper parts and usually dries up completely after the first grove. It is therefore important to stock up on supplies in the Callarelli cave in advance. At the beginning of the season, there may still be snowfields in the upper parts. The part after the second grove is equipped exclusively with double-barrelled guns, while the upper part has not yet been re-equipped and mainly has single and double-barrelled guns, some of which are very old. The second grove is the only exit. This emergency exit is far from easy, but is signposted. There are some very steep and exposed parts. Bear in mind that the ascent to Capo le Macchia takes about three and a half very strenuous hours, compared to about four and a half hours for the crossing of the canyon.

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: 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.

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.

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!

2025-09-29: Be careful when jumping, some of the rocks are not visible from above. A beautiful tour in the sun.
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.

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: About 10 minutes after the last abseil point, you pass a small dam wall, where a path leads to the left.

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).

2025-06-09: Beautiful landscape. Equipment ok. Beautiful, deep pools, all bouncy. At descent number 1, dead deer in the pool.
2024-06-30: Currently very good conditions. You can jump a lot, the pools are sufficiently deep. Good tour for beginners if you are fit enough for the long block climbs
Approach: Follow the forest road downhill --> after a few hairpin bends the road flattens out. Continue on the road via a long haipin bend down to the streambed. The forest path that previously branched off to the right has now been marked with no trespassing signs.
Tour: At the dam wall at approx. 610m there is a water level measuring station where you can read the water level --> !!!! If the water level is high, an automatic opening could be initiated --> 1st rappel from the dam wall approx. 25m (from the railing) --> longer walking passages to the narrowing canyon with small climbs --> walking passages in a narrower section of the canyon to the 1st rappel point in a beautiful rocky backdrop (right 10m) --> continue walking and climbing to the 2nd rappel point 20m (right) in a large gravel bed --> here the canyon opens --> continue walking and climbing to the 2nd rappel point 20m (right) in a large gravel bed --> here the canyon opens --> continue walking and climbing to the 2nd rappel point 20m (right) in a large gravel bed.) in a large gravel bed --> here the canyon opens up --> after a short section of walking and easy climbing you come to a very open passage with sloping large slabs of rock --> in a slight walking passages you overcome a chaos of rocks (inflow from the right) --> at the exit of the large boulders you come to a rappel point with approx. 10m (right) --> continue walking and climbing over some steps and rocks again until you come to a small waterfall on the left (left). waterfall on the left (left tributary of the Rio Alba) --> longer walking passages --> short downclimb approx. 5m --> beautiful striking point with high rock face and incised limestone rock which you walk around and downclimb on the left --> here the canyon makes a 90° left turn --> after a short time you come to an impressive cascade --> here you walk on a ledge (left) to a belay --> downclimb to a stand --> after a short time you come to an impressive cascade --> here you walk on a ledge (left) to a stand --> downclimb to the left (right).) to a stance --> rappel 15m --> the next rappel follows immediately approx. 10m to the right in the course of the water --> walk to the next waterfall on the left --> after a short shower you can take off your neoprene --> from here you walk along a very wide streambed for approx. 30min. to the bridge --> get off right at the shuttle car (approx. 310m).

2024-05-06: There are two options for access: Start as described, after approx. 30 minutes turn right at the fork in the path to the intermediate entrance. However, apart from the crystal-clear and sparkling clea...
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.

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: 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).

Fontanon Del Tasseit: Parking Entry and Exit
Comment: Parkbuch links der Straße
Access: A23 to Osoppo exit, then via San Daniele, Ragona, Pinzano and Sequals to Meduno. From here 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 left towards Forcella Clautana. Follow the narrow, mostly asphalted road until it gets close to the streambed again for the first time. Here you can park 5 cars.

Rio Macile (Rio Brussine): Canyon Start
2025-10-20: As the Cuestis had hardly any water today, we quickly changed tack and did the Macile! Fun as always, perfect water level, all jumps and slides doable! For two car-car 2h15 min
2025-09-26: Entry jump and subsequent slide very fun, 60m final waterfall also spectacular. Everything was superiore, nice tour!
2025-09-21: Everything in the canyon is great. Jumps and slides are all fine. Be careful with the coordinates of the entry, they are not correct somewhere above in the creek.
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.

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

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.

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: 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: 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).

Approach: From the bend in the road, take the footpath that climbs slightly northwards over the Argentina to the dilapidated (2009) footbridge over the Grognardo. 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.
Return: After passing under the Ponte Avella (SS-263) on the path up to the right and over the bridge.

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

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).

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.

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).

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: The upper section (from 1490 m) was opened on June 21, 2020 and has 28 equipped runs. The maximum descent length is 40 meters (a cable car is required in strong currents). At the beginning, Val Clusa is still a relatively open forest gorge. However, this changes after the first 6 rappels, where the canyon becomes visibly narrower and 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: At a white signpost, follow path 633 uphill across meadows (initially only very indistinct tracks). At a statue of the Virgin Mary, cross a stream and initially ascend westwards. After a left-hand bend, the path soon leads into the canyon of the Rio de lis Cladis. After about 40 minutes, you cross the stream - an entry point if you only want to walk the lower section. Continue steeply and in places secured with wire ropes up over a craggy spur before the path leads into a less steep beech forest. After the second flattening at around 960m above sea level (GPS 46.393583N, 13.362433), descend pathless over steep forest to the right into the canyon. The first abseil point is located after a waterfall on the left-hand side of the gorge (GPS 46' 23' 34.93 - 13' 21' 41.43).
Tour: Rappel 5 meters and cross to the other side of the canyon where the next anchor (14m) is located. There are 7 more abseils up to 20m (chain anchors) until the junction with the hiking trail. After the crossroads, the abseiling points become higher and the belays worse (2 expansion bolts each). Abseiling sequence: 10m, 6m, 25m, 20m, 5m, 33m, 10m. A 35m rappel at risk of falling rocks brings us to the mouth of a tributary stream (from here on called Rio Impresis). The Rio Impresis takes us over a beautiful 43m waterfall into the depths before a final 5m rappel follows. After a short boulder hop over giant pebbles, exit 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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: 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.

Comment: Einstiegsparkplatz
Access: 11 km northeast of Belluno is Ponte nelle Alpi. Here, south of the road bridge, turn off the SS 51 over the Piave toward Quantin and go up about 9 km to Quantin. Park the upper vehicle in the large parking lot between the church and Rio Maggiore. Park the lower vehicle at the houses of La Secca at the NW exit of Lago di Santa Croce. You can get there on the SS 51 from Ponte nelle Alpi (from the bridge 7 km).
Return: After crossing under the highway and railroad bridges in the pipe culvert under the SS 51 and right out to the lower vehicle. There is now a good and easy way to walk back from the exit to the parking lot at Cornolade Alte. From the exit bridge, hike about 400m north along the road towards La Secca. Immediately before crossing the Rio Bars, turn left and walk along an asphalt road under the railroad line. Then ascend briefly and turn right onto a forest path between the two highway bridges. The forest path soon becomes a path that you follow upwards at a pleasant gradient. The path is well trodden and partly marked in red between the gorges of Rio Bars and Rio Maggiore and reaches the viewing platform near the large waterfall of Rio Maggiore after about 25 minutes.

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.

2025-09-03: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Cuestis Very nice water level to enjoy this beautiful canyon. Excellent equipment. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-...
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.

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 along the river uphill towards Croveo, then cross over a bridge to the other (orographic left) bank. Continue up the stream to the dam (with house) and then in hairpin bends up to the Baceno-Croveo road. Turn left again at the Croveo village sign by a chapel/icon. You come to 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 point at the first abseil (C3) - about 25 minutes in total. If it is too aquatic here, you can follow the course of the stream on the bank and after approx. 100 m on the orographic right you come to the water drainage and thus the drier part of the descent.
Tour: First swim canyon to the water drainage. Enter the vertical parts from the right. At this rappel (C15) - sling on the tree 10 m above the edge (2006) - rope retrival difficult, so make it from the ledge 3 m above the pool (also a small possible jumps). The rope retrival on the next (15m) rappel is just as difficult. At the next but one possible jumps from 12 m or 9 m height. Possible jumps are also possible in the wide streambed.

Approach: Follow path 391 over the first bridge and continue orographically to the right of the Ciolesan up to an alpine meadow with several houses. Turn left at the first house (markings and path difficult to see). Then climb steeply and keep left up to the edge of the forest. Continue steeply uphill on a visible path with many hairpin bends. After a few meters in altitude, the narrow, sometimes very exposed path with little difference in altitude runs parallel and far above the canyon until you reach the "Ciol della Val" tributary. (Alternatively, after crossing a mostly dry streambed, you can branch off to the left and follow an unmarked path - this path first leads to the ruins of an old material cable car, then steeply down to the Ciol della Val streambed, which you reach 3 abseiling points before the confluence with the Ciolesan. This access saves you 5 abseils from the upper Ciol della Val).
Tour: To reach the Ciolesan, descend via the open (sunny) tributary "Ciol della Val". Depending on the entry option, there are 8 or 3 (max. 30m) abseils to the confluence with the Ciolesan. The lime canyon is very varied and continuous. From the confluence with the Ciolesan it becomes narrower and more spectacular. Here there are a further 8 abseiling points (max. 15m). The sometimes very narrow (0.5m) and mostly short rappels should not be underestimated, especially at higher water levels. In the lower part of the last narrow passage there is a large clamping block that apparently blocks the way. However, this can usually be bypassed on the left without any major problems. After this, there is a veil shower and a small abseil step before you leave the canyon on the left. In 2023, the entire tour (16 abseiling points) was equipped with Inox chain anchors and wing rings as well as several helpful rope traverses (still in place in 2025!). However, the emergency drill set should always be carried as the canyon can change quickly after a flood. All in all, a worthwhile tour with beautiful mountain scenery (tip: a dinosaur footprint can be visited nearby).

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: 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.

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.

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").

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.

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.

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: 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.

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).

Return: Soon after the last abseiling point you come to a dirt road on the orographic right bank, which leads in about 15 minutes to the road bridge, near which the lower vehicle is parked.

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.

Torrente Cellina: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot at the reservoir in a westerly direction along the road to the dam wall. 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.

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).

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.

Approach: At the bridge follow the sign "Cucche" on the Sentiero "744". Soon you go uphill away from the stream in an easterly direction, the path then bends towards the NE. 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.
Tour: After a longer approach in the open streambed, a pleasant descent through a narrowing without large dimensions.

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.

We leave this road here and turn left onto the SP 7 - Via Galileo Galilei - in the direction of Nasca, Sant'Antonio, Arcumeggia. We now drive 1.9 km and come to a house directly on the right-hand side of the road. 200m further on the SP 7, a dirt road turns off to the right ( ). We park the lower car here. Take the second car on the SP 7 in a southerly direction continuously uphill. We can see the 100 m high final waterfall of the Froda inferiore and after 2.7 km we come to a prominent left-hand serpentine. Here we park the second car, unless we intend an integral ascent of the Froda (see description of the Froda superiore!).
Return: At the foot of the waterfall we come to a wooden footbridge. Left here onto the hiking trail, we soon pass the houses of the hamlet of Casone Froda (394 m above sea level), continue north along the path, cross the river twice and, after the third crossing and another 600 m northwards, reach the SP 7 and our car at the bottom.

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).

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').

Approach: Follow the road back a few meters and then turn right onto the cul-de-sac. Follow this for about 50 m and then turn right onto the hiking trail (marked "Procanyon" blue dot on white rectangle). Follow this path, initially past a group of houses, to the entry point directly below the junction of the Rio Boschetti - upper part of the Infernetto - with the Vallone Cavernasecca (1235 m above sea level). Long crossings, partly exposed.
Tour: A total of 19 rappels. Dry at first, then water slowly appears. In the narrow section of Val Scura there is a series of unclear rappels on the right-hand side of the stream. When the route becomes vertical, there is a somewhat tricky to reach deviation on the right. This deviation makes it possible to reach the belay above the large clamping block. If you rappel straight down here, you end up in a hanging basin. In 2025 it was possible to crawl below the gorge block to two glued anchors on the underside of the block. After that, the gorge becomes more aquatic with beautiful pools. Unfortunately, not everything is jumpable. Don't get out too early, there are still a few nice, high possible jumps at the bottom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Montixi: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Either from Ventimiglia on the SS 20 in the direction of Breil-sur-Roya, Tende, Cuneo and after about 12 km, immediately after a long tunnel turn right in the direction of 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 in the direction of Airole. We drive up at the first houses on the left into the village and park the car there.

Approach: We take the track to the left of the tarred road in a southeasterly direction. The track continues on a footpath. After about half an hour the path crosses into the steep slopes above Vallone Moregallo and after another quarter of an hour we are at the streambed.
Tour: Sequence of a total of 23 rappels, first in largely open terrain, after the water drainage the last four in narrower canyon. Exit directly to the lake.

Return: If you are afraid to go around to the right through the hotel complex to the car, you will also find a passage up to the left to the car parked below.

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 stand after about 30m, slightly offset to the left, above a rock face, over which you rappel another 30m. Below the rock face, cross to the left and make a wide right turn down into the streambed (approx. 920m above sea level). 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.

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.

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. Just before the bridge, the exit is marked with red paint and a small sign.Also 50 m after passing under the road bridge, the exit is possible on the left up to the road.

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.

2025-09-28: Access to the upper part is very tricky. We really enjoyed the canyon.
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).

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. At the next large pool turn right and after 30 m you are back at the car.

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.

Here we take Via Quarata to the right and park the car near the stream.
Return: From the pool to the car.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Titerno: Canyon Start
Approach: From the second bridge, walk next to or along the streambed to the actual start 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.

Titerno: Canyon End
Return: Turn right and walk to the bridge in 3 minutes.

Titerno: Parking at Exit
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 - at a small well - turn left briefly, then right along a narrow road in a northerly direction down to Titerno, past a turn-off to the left (1.7 km). Park the second vehicle here in the area of the two bridges (a total of 7.5 km).
Return: Turn right and walk to the bridge in 3 minutes.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Return: Either on the slope up to "P 1" and then on to "P 2" or, as described by the French, after an influx from the right over the slopes, up to the ridge without a path and on this up to "P2". Another option would be for someone to choose the exit of the French and then take the car from "P 2" to "P 1", where the others wait after walking up the slope to "P 1". (brown colors - see photo gallery) Alternative description: A few meters before the stream (small waterfall) you can take a very steep path up the slope on the right. If you follow the stream up to a path, the last few meters are very overgrown and difficult to overcome. The path to the right is very pleasant. When you reach the access road, turn right back to the P.

2025-03-23: Gola Palazzolo Beautiful canyon that starts very relaxed. The path becomes steadily more demanding until the very beautiful 35 m waterfall at the exit. Turn off the SP110 at 37.9823458N, 14.9811202E...
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

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.

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. Can also be used as a redirection only * 2m slide * 22m from anchor left * 50m from anchor right, down directly through the water stream. Rope pull off problems * 30m from normal hook right * 15m from terminal block sling left * 40m from anchor left. From here the canyon opens again and you can cross out to the left. In the streambed still 2-3 tree rappels.

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.
Tour: Here - "E"- begins a sequence of 11 rappels and some possible jumps. After a C25 with sharp edge and a C15 in ends the descent in a large pool.

Access: Same approach as to the Soffia or the Val Pisson (see there). We leave the car for the access at the north end of the Lago del Mis at the Bar alla Soffia, where then the road closed to non-residents begins as an access road for the Soffia ( P1 - 430m altitude).\n\a second car we leave at the mouth of the stream from the Val Rui Biachi. To do this, we continue north along the road that brought us to P1, along the Torrente Mis - upstream. We pass the Val Costalunga descending from the left and after 2.7 km from P1 we come to a ruin on the right of the road in the immediate vicinity of the mouth of "our" stream in the Torrente Mis. Here we park the car for the exit (P2).
Return: After the big pool, head out along the creek to the road and the car at P2.

Approach: About 30min 1st option: From the reversible parking (see option 1), follow the steep and narrow mountain road until the exit at the houses "Cuel Lunc alto". 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

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 up into the woods. Follow this path until you reach a small meadow with a house. Pass the house on the right and go up through the meadow. Above the house near the forest you should meet the path again. 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.

Comment: Rio Simon Ausstiegsparkplatz - Keine Wertsachen im Auto lassen, es wurden bereits Autos aufgebrochen
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.

Access: We leave the car for the exit in Campione del Garda. (Alternatively, we can use the lower parking lot of the Brasa canyon). 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.

Tour: We enter a little above the concrete path. 4 rappels; on the first (15m) it is recommended to use a redirection. Also at the 3rd rappel a redirection is recommended.

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.

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.

Approach: From the parking lot at the church down north, in the forest then keeping left to the bridge over "our" stream. After the bridge, turn right along the edge of the forest - parallel to the stream. Entry then before the notch of the stream (see sketches in photo gallery).
Tour: 8 rappels in a gorge, at the exit the Cascata Preafassa with 80m drop (15/65).

Preafassa: Canyon End
Return: At the latest at the footbridge on the crossing path out (possibly earlier if you can see it on the right bank). The path turns towards the east and we cross the Torrente Aviana.

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.

Comment: Two rappel of 25m and 45m to reach the water
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

Aschlbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Approach: from Bolzano South on the Merano-Bolzano highway in the direction of Merano. Then take the Gargazzone exit and park in the public parking lots or on the old state road near the "Zum Turm" hotel
Return: Exit: after the last abseiling point, follow the path on the right bank that leads through a vegetable garden to the road in a few minutes.

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.

Comment: Einstiegsparkplatz bei der alten Brücke bei 'Le Camerate'
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.

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).

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.

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

2021-08-20: It is not as beautiful as the lower part (which is for me the most spectacular canyon in the area), however, as an introduction it has some nice rappels in the granite that are worthwhile
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.

Approach: We take the path towards Pogallo. The path first goes about 800m towards NNO, then at the second fork we follow the signpost Teggia, Pian Cavellona. A bridge takes us over the Pogallo. In the climb we pass the ruins of Teggia and finally reach the stream (entry).
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.

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).

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.

2025-08-08: Challenging and very fun, with some breathtaking passages
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.

Access: From Domodossola, head west into the Bogna Valley towards Bognanco. After about 7 km you pass a long bridge from which you can see the last cascades of the Variola. Here you park one car on a path that leads to an old bridge over the Variola.\nWith the second car you continue for about 2 km until you reach the village of Bognanco di Fonti. Here you park at a bridge behind which a path turns off to the right in the direction of Monsignore/Monteossolano.
Return: Pass under the old and new road bridge and then in Torrente Bogna turn right (upstream) to the exit on the road.

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.

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.
Tour: The gorge quickly becomes very narrow * 30m rappel from tree with sling on the left * 35m rappel, 2 anchors in small niche on the left, space for max. 2 people * 29m rappel, large rock platform, 2 anchors high on the left * 3m downclimb * 18m rappel, one anchor on the right * hiking and downclimbing 100m * 10m anchor on boulder in the middle of the river * hiking and downclimbing 50m * 15m anchor left * Then laborious downclimbing over jammed tree trunks before the gorge opens - from here escape options on the right. This is followed by 500m of downclimbing and hiking with a few slides before you reach the streambed of the Rio Cadramazzo above the large waterfall. * 43m rappel, old anchor and tree sling on the right * hiking & downclimbing * 8m rappel very old Multimonti Spit on rock right * hiking & downclimbing * 13m rappel rope sling right * hiking & downclimbing * 30m rappel tree with sling and chain link - very exposed to reach Hiking & downclimbing in a chaos of boulders * After a short gorge, you stand in front of the two high waterfalls of the lower Rio Cadramazzo - description there.

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, the path leaves to the left. This is the abandoned path 651 which you follow until you see the streambed of the Rio Rondolon. Then stay on the same level without a path for about 50m (do not descend) until you reach the well-marked path that follows the Rio Rondolon uphill to the left until you cross its streambed. Follow the well-marked path to the ortographic right. Always ascend alongside the canyon until you see a rock face further up, keep left here and ascend briefly across it until you reach a dry streambed. (There are no more path markings visible here). 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.

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.

Rio Sfonderat: Canyon Start
2025-10-11: All stands ok. We combined the Sfonderat with the Rondolon. Have installed a sling with a rapid link at the top of the entry so that you don't have to go down the slope unsecured.
2023-10-05: Did the canyon today! Nice beautifull canyon too bad all the pools are shallow. Walked from parking to start of canyon in 1hr, would say for a normal fit person the walk is only 1,5 hrs.
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.

Comment: Ausstiegsparkplatz bei Holzlagerplatz
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 .

2023-05-07: Everything still ok so far. Partially prone to rockfall. The 60er is very beautiful. One could rehabilitate one or the other hook. Please get off after the last waterfall or mini slide on the left and...
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.

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

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
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.
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: Right at the bridge (with shuttle car) or without shuttle car on foot in about 1h15min walk up the old path behind the Ampola inn to the bridge (entry).
Tour: From the bridge to the 1st rappel point it is approx. 20min. in the streambed (slippery stones) --> now the first rappels follow immediately, which continue continuously --> numerous places can be jumped (exact assessment) or rappelled --> in between there are always walking sections --> many rappels can also be reached outside the watercourse rappel --> in between there are always walking passages --> many rappels are also outside the water flow and can only be reached by long exposed crossings (mostly fixed ropes) --> a striking point is a place with a huge clamping block under which you can rappel --> after that there are about 5-6 rappels (some also jumpable) --> the last rappel (12m) can also be jumped --> from this point it only goes over small flat slides and a short piece along the stream.

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 20min)
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.

Return: Turn left before the old stone bridge and cross the bridge to the right on the hiking trail to Fonti. If the last part with the 68m ropes (can be broken 50/20) is also walked, at the barrage on the orographic left side of the Rio Bogna a few hundred meters uphill until you see a path on the opposite side that leads up to the lower car. In August 2025 the direct way back was closed by the authorities (landslide), instead get out via Valpiana, about 120hm and 15min more.

Access: From Domodossola, head west into the Bogna Valley in the direction of Fonti. After approx. 7 km you pass a long bridge from which you can see the last cascades of the Variola. 850 m further on, the road to Pioi goes off to the left. Park your car here. 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). Here you can see a post with signposts. We park the second car nearby. If you only want to walk the part after the water drainage, turn off in the direction of Mulera and park behind the small church.

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.

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: 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

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).

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.

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).

2025-10-19: Great tour! At the exit of the long slope there is a large parking lot with a bar, which you wouldn't expect to see on the approach. You can even spend the night there. There are also showers. There...
Approach: From the parking lot on a road towards the sea, a bend is shortened over a gravel field. Descend a little in the bottom of the trench until you reach the first abseil point. Alternatively and more beautifully, you can also climb along the orographic right canyon rim via the ridge. The ridge soon becomes a rocky ridge. Via climbing tracks and easy scrambling, you bypass the first small drop-off before reaching the first abseil point at the exit of the ridge.
Tour: Access via canyon: rappel 8m from the left, walk briefly and rappel 25m from the chain anchor on the right. After another short downclimb, leave the bottom of the gorge to the right on indistinct trails and cross a boulder field. Descend briefly and continue towards a high, reddish wall (striking rock towers above). This is the upper entrance to the Sa Rutta de Su Tentorgiu passage cave. Access via the ridge: 4 abseils from bolt stands or tree abseils. Abseil sequence 20m, 10m, 27m and 30m. The last abseil point exits directly above the cave. You can also rappel the first two rappels in one. Short walking passages in the scree between abseiling points 2-3 and 3-4. Do not kick any stones loose. Common course: Rappel 8m from anchors on the right (do not descend into the shaft), crawl left briefly and ascend briefly in the following stalactite-lined passage. Then downclimb the following 10m steps or rappel from one of the stalactites. Then downclimb again to reach the lower exit of the cave. Rappel 13m from anchors on the right, follow a path to the left and rappel another 10m to reach the transverse Selvaggio Blu Trekking 'path'. Turn left into the rock gate and rappel 15m or cross even further over wedged juniper trunks to the left and downclimb (Sardinian via ferrata). Descend briefly in the streambed you have reached again to rappel 30m from the tree or from the belay directly in the wall to the penultimate ledge directly above the Mediterranean. Caution - do not rappel onto the lowest ledge -> dead end. From the rock ledge you can reach the tourist cave Grotta del Fico - head south through the cave (15m possible jumps into the Mediterranean from the middle rock window), then cross over a fixed rope with difficulty to the cave entrance - the cave is regularly visited by tourist boats in the high season.

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

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
2025-12-29: The smooth descent of a group is reported. Re-equipped trail of approach because days ago a big stone falls down and former anchor now is unreachable.
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, running sections 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. You can exit here, see "way back". Otherwise, we continue the integral ascent and pass 2 larger pools one after the other, which - after prior inspection - may be jumpable. Then we come to the highlight of the tour, an "underground lake", which can rather be described as a pool. You can possibly jump into it (check!) and swim through to the other side of the grotto. If I remember correctly, there was also the option of bypassing the "lake" on the righthand side. Beyond the grotto, there is a rappel into a now wide river bed. We now climb mainly downwards and after some time reach the impressive Gola (canyon) di Goruppu with its high canyon walls. Here we usually meet half-shoe tourists who have walked up here from the bridge where our lower car is parked.

2025-12-29: The smooth descent of a group is reported. Re-equipped trail of approach because days ago a big stone falls down and former anchor now is unreachable.
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.
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.).

Access: From Dorgali, head south on the SS 125. Shortly after leaving Dorgali, turn left through a tunnel in the direction of Cala Gonone. At the traffic circle at the beginning of Cala Gonone, turn right at the signpost for Spiaggia - Caletta Fuili. After 850m on this road (Via Laconi Renzo), turn right again onto Viale Bue Marino and continue for approx. 2.5 km to the exit above the bay above Codula Fuili. Park one car here. Take the second car back and drive up towards the tunnel. 1.3 km after the large traffic circle, turn left (signposted 'Agriturismo Nuraghe Mannu') and drive south on the concrete road. At the top, past the agriturismo, you can see the canyon below on the left. 4.2 km after turning off the main road, we see a building on the right and park the second car somewhere here. If you are worried about orientation problems, you can continue along the track until it crosses the generally dry streambed and then get in here.
Return: Once you reach the sea, left up to the road.

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) If you want to avoid the via ferrata, you can descend an additional 7m along the right bank of the streambed. 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.

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: From the road, we follow the track downhill. At a junction, we keep half right downhill. Finally, the track describes a striking left-hand bend. Here we turn half right and descend into the streambed without any problems.
Tour: Emergency exit possible at the bridge if necessary. The tour usually ends at the foot of the high waterfall. A further descent to the confluence with the Riu Irei is also possible. This offers an additional 20m rappel. However, this requires a wide shuttle

Badde Piras: Canyon Start
Approach: \nWe walk - passing the homestead on the right - towards the mountain flank south of the Badde Piras - chute and climb it in large serpentines (cairns!), see drawing at the beginning of the video: https://youtu.be/n0BPFdpDD8g . Once at the top, head east into the canyon.\n\nAn alternative access from the parking lot for Su Codulone u. Bidighinios:
Tour: See videos! First "start" in the canyon, then abseil sequence: 23m - 14m - 16m - 33m - 18m+52m (or 10m+60m).

Badde Piras: 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: When we have passed the steep gravel cirque, we meet a dirt road that leads us to the approach path. Return to the car on the latter.

Bacu Olcoe: Canyon Start
2025-05-15: Dry canyon with rewarding 80m rappel. Can be divided into 15m and 70m free-hanging. Beware of falling rocks in almost every rappel due to loose scree. Access: allow approx. 1 hour to the first rappel...

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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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).

Rio Carlo Gasparini (& Arzino): Canyon Start
2025-08-23: Everything is fine.
2025-07-03: anchors in very good condition. water level quite low (I think in recent years it is the norm in this canyon). always a nice canyon for a quick action. only a few fallen trees reduce the fun of crossi...
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).

Comment: Grosser Parkplatz vor Abzweigung
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

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.

Riu Dal Boschet: Canyon Start
2025-07-21: For a quite little side trip, was surprised to find a few nice bolts in here. Worthwhile little side trip if you have time going down Leale. We walked up after the jump into the massive pool, on the...
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.

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.

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.

Torrente Soffia: Canyon Start
2025-09-21: We started at 7:30.. we also met locals who are living on the top and they offered us a ride to the canyon so we didnt the have to walk. Only the politics is against canyoning and not locals I guess....

2024-09-07: Anchors good, puddles to check before diving. Exit at the concrete dam to the right.
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!

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.

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: 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

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).
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 Exit
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.

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.

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

Fosso La Foce: Canyon Start
Approach: 15 minutes on foot by shuttle bus (12 km by car). Head into the main valley floor for the Ramo Sinistro or, after a small ridge, into the right-hand valley floor for the Ramo Destro. At the beginning you are only on grassy or screey slopes. The first waterfalls begin at around 1600 m. Without shuttle: From the village, follow the path past the church for 15 minutes and walk towards the exit of the canyon. Shortly before this, turn left onto another path that leads uphill for a long time. There are several forks to the right, take the most logical one to get to the starting point. Do not try to take a shortcut, otherwise you will encounter very steep and unstable slopes. (1:45 hrs)
Tour: Ramo Sinistro: The route begins with a series of initially unsightly, then increasingly aesthetic and shaped waterfalls. After a beautiful C20 m you reach Ramo Destro. Very average equipment. (10 belays) Ramo Destro: Fewer obstacles, but a beautiful C25. Renewed equipment. (4 pitches) ==>At the height of the confluence, a path leads to the right to an exposed exit from which you can observe the tributary. Turn left to reach this tributary, the Cascate dei Gracchi. Ramo principal: you pass a beautiful C25 and reach the splendid C68 in a tube. The equipment on the right bank prevents friction. (5 belays) Cascate dei Gracchi: Some waterfalls lead to the magnificent C70 (20+50). An empty belay offers access to a magnificent spider web. (8 pitches) From the foot of these two waterfalls you can return to the main arm to the exit. (4 stands) It is possible to make two different descents in this valley by separating the two upper and two lower arms. Everything is interesting. To do when the water level is good, this canyon does not seem to be subject to strong floods.

Fosso La Foce: Canyon End
Return: After a walk through the vegetation, an RG path begins that leads to the trail and from there to the village.

Access: Downhill access: From the Bologna-Pescara highway, head towards Macerata, then Foligno and Visso. In the town of Visso, continue to Ussita. In the village, continue straight on without missing the turn-off to Casali. Cross this last village and park in the square in front of the church. Uphill access: hairpin bends and take the path on the right 100 m further down. After a long detour, the path leads back to the canyon, which forms a funnel with several branches. Park at the exit of the main branch. The metal hut described in volume 2 of Caracal has been destroyed by the snow and is located in the canyon.

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).

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.

Access: From Chiavenna, head south on the SS 36 towards Lecco. After about 6 km we have just passed the village of San Cassiano and turn right at the end of the village onto the SP 19 towards Samolaco. We head west, cross the Fiume Mera, keep straight on after the bridge into the district of San Pietro (in the municipality of Samolaco) and reach the road bridge over the Torrente Mengasca via Via Tonnaia. Here, where you can also check the water flow, park the lower vehicle.\nWith the second car, head south up the mountainside, following the signs for Monastero. After about 1.5 km, the tarred road exits (410 m above sea level) and we park the second car in a suitable place near the chapel.
Return: After the last rappel into the swimming pools in the streambed, descend a little, then turn right out onto the slope and down to the car.

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).

Montasio: Canyon Start
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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

Return: Once in the valley, we take the dirt road to the right at a bridge and reach the road and the car after a few meters.

Sadacla: Parking at Exit
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).

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.

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.

Cavaglio: Parking at Exit
Comment: schwierig
Access: From Cannobio on Lake Maggiore, we drive increasingly higher on the SS631 over and parallel to the river Cannobino westwards towards Domodossola, Malesco. After about 4.5 km we reach the Grotto al Mater restaurant, where we look for a place to park the lower car. We continue with the other car and turn right after 189m towards Cavaglio. 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.

Comment: Einstieg Ciol del Pes

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.

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.

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.

Access: Drive all the way up the Arzino valley, before the last hairpin turns take the left-hand secondary road that takes us higher into the Arzino valley than Arzino 0 starting point (there is one touristic sign for each of the canyons). Follow this little road which is quite narrow with lots of short turns, up until the P on the left hand side, marked again by a touristic sign.
Return: Exit at beach, right bank, hike up to the little bridge and take the trail up, 25' to the car

Val Maor di Mel superiore: Parking at Entry

2025-06-07: Quite a difficult downclimb in the case of an obstruction, you should drill a stand here.
2023-11-09: All stands available. Due to the last storm, there is some wood in the gorge, but this is not a problem.

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).

2024-04-30: Done Nucci-express. Impressive to see it finally with high flow. Added chain for intermediate belay in the big waterfall. Team members enjoyed the approach and ambiance in 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.

Comment: Start integrale
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. Now, there are 3 options: 1. Continue to alt. 2000m for the full Nuccí. Offline gps will be useful, the trail is faint at least. Full canyon is described. 2.

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 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.

2024-07-22: Some nice rappels overall pleasant but surely there are moglioori creek in the valley
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.

Torrente Comboè: Canyon Start

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'.

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).

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.

Access: From Césane at the foot of the Montgenévre pass, take the road from Bousson along the river. At the Bousson exit, take the road on the right to Thures. Just before Thures, at a leftward haipin bend where there are garbage cans, go straight along the small road that leads to the hamlet of Rhuilles. The road becomes a good path. Cross Rhuilles and continue straight on. After 1.5 km, the road forks: right leads to the exit, left to the access.

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.

Val Fredda: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking area, take the trail that enters the forest and begins to climb. Shortly after, you reach a fork—stay to the right, crossing the slope beneath the high-voltage power lines. When the trail re-enters the forest, climb a few more meters and take the level trail that leads to the Alabaster Cave. Just before the cave, a clearly visible path on the left allows an easy descent to the streambed near the rock arch (45°51'46.7"N 8°49'38.4"E). About 15 minutes for 60 m of elevation gain.

Val Fredda: Canyon End
Return: The final canyon section ends right by the road, where you can re-enter on the right bank. From there, it takes about two minutes to return to the cars.

Val Fredda: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Coming from Varese, take the SS233 Valganna road up to the Valganna Caves, where parking is available (45°51'19"N 8°49'22"E). If there are only a few cars, you can continue along the road, pass through the tunnel, and shortly after you will see on the left the end of the final canyon section. About 100 meters further, there is a parking area on the left (45°51'36.5"N 8°49'39.6"E), at the point where the trail starts.
Return: The final canyon section ends right by the road, where you can re-enter on the right bank. From there, it takes about two minutes to return to the cars.

Mondelli (superiore): Canyon Start
2025-09-18: As always, the upper part is also very cool, anchors are still the old French....
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.
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.

Comment: Bei der Wasserfassung
Approach: Follow the path down to the river, then turn right past the houses and over the bridge. Follow the hiking trail to the left immediately after the bridge. After about 30 minutes, descend left at the old houses to the water catchment.
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

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.

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.

Arroscia: Canyon Start
Approach: From the signs, follow the path downhill to the ruined hamlet. Turn left and walk slightly downhill towards Cascate dell' Arroscia-Mendatica for 5 minutes. At an altitude of 1400 m, go straight down into the forest to the stream (steep, very vague tracks). Without shuttle bus: At the entrance to Mendatica, continue by car on a path on the left towards Montegrosso (not shown on the map), drive 1 km and park on the left at the first hairpin bend. Climb directly above the car on narrow paths (10/15 min., steep) to reach the path that you follow to the left towards Poilarocca. The very good path winds through a beautiful forest, then after a canyon (ropes) crosses a ridge, then changes direction and gradually runs parallel to the stream. At an altitude of 1400 m, descend directly down the slope. If you climb a little too high, you will reach the ruined hamlet of Poilarocca (1424 m). Then you only have to walk back for 5 minutes... At the Gropin bridge, at the viewpoint of the waterfall and in the hamlet of Poilarocca, there is a table where you can take a well-earned break. Steady ascent, 2:10 hours in total.
Tour: Very open start, small inclined ledges lead to a weak notch. An R6 (4 m jump not to be missed, it's the only one in the canyon), C15 and C7, the big waterfall begins... This is followed by a succession of very steep drops with open and wide intermediate platforms. At the viewpoint (left bank, exit option) there is a small descent, the belaystation is more on the right. C56 (be careful when positioning the ropes for hauling in, as there is a lot of friction), then a steeper C50, 2 small waterfalls lead very quickly to the small wooden bridge. Route under forest cover, quite slippery. Very good equipment with 2 bolts or harnesses (natural anchors).

Approach: Access is from the hamlet of Otra (Campertogno), at the base of the stream. From the parking area, take the dirt road that goes straight uphill where the asphalt ends. Then turn right onto a narrow, exposed path following the sign “Cascata del Tinaccio”. After about 15 minutes, the waterfall appears in all its power. Continue ascending for about 40 minutes until you reach another flat dirt road; follow it, and shortly afterward you’ll rejoin a trail. On the right, you’ll see the ruins of ancient dwellings — descend here for 5 minutes to reach the streambed.
Tour: The canyon begins in an easy riverbed, reaching the first rappel (C13), which can also be jumped. Continue through several beautiful pools, all suitable for jumps, then a C5 and a C10 with a fixed handline. Further ahead is a 20 m toboggan, followed immediately by a C9 and a short walk. A fixed rope leads to an exposed 20 m rappel (C20) with strong rope friction, followed by another toboggan that requires a tricky approach — friction climbing along the wall to avoid the strong current. Another consecutive toboggan, then about 10 minutes of walking. You then reach the Tinaccio Gorge: A 5 m jump leads to the start of the rappel sequence. A handline allows access to an awkward stance, from which a C20 drops into a narrow gorge with a concentrated water jet — CAUTION: assess flow conditions carefully. On the right, not visible from above, there is a hanging belay. From there, descend C27 into a large pool that must be crossed by swimming. These two powerful rappels can be bypassed via a C40 reachable by climbing up to the left before entering the gorge. Continue downstream to a fixed rope leading to a C20 under a waterfall, then several jumps in a deeply sculpted section bring you to the Rusa bridge, where you exit. Ascend to the right to return to the car.

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.

Fanes: Canyon Start
Approach: From the first parking lot, take a paved road, but quickly leave it to take a descending path on the right, following the signpost "Path no. 10 Valle di Fanes / Val Travenanzes". The path leads to a well-maintained path (closed to traffic), which you simply have to follow (to the right), always following the above-mentioned signposts. The path crosses the Boite, then the Fanes and begins the ascent through the valley. It crosses the Travenanzes, a very deep tributary of the Fanes, via the Outo bridge, just before it flows into the Fanes. A picnic area offers a beautiful view of the Travenanzes and the entrance to the canyon of Fanes. At this point, leave path no. 10, which turns left, and take a steeply ascending path that goes straight ahead. Then turn right onto the "waterfall path" that leads to Fanes and crosses it over the first bridge. Follow the path that leads up the stream. It crosses the stream again over a second bridge. The starting point of the canyon can be at this point, but it is also possible to start further up, at the "Sbasco de Fanes". The path continues along the stream, which regularly forms waterfalls. However, these waterfalls are wide, open and far apart, so they are not particularly interesting for hikers (the Sbasco is the highest and most beautiful of these waterfalls). The upper part of the Fanes is therefore of little interest for canyoning.
Tour: The descent consists of two clearly separated parts. The first part between the second and first bridge is open. All the abseiling points are on trees. You have to give free rein to your imagination to find the most suitable solution, as the current of the torrent is still strong. At the beginning of the second part, downstream of the first bridge, the canyon narrows. The first two obstacles are not very high and can be jumped over. The current can cause problems at the third waterfall. The obstacles then get bigger: C11 (Mono-Spit RD), C15 (Bolt RD) and C50 Terminal (Bolt RG). To reach the bolts of the C50, you have to secure yourself to the via ferrata at the foot of the C15.

Fanes: Canyon End
Return: Climb up to Pont Outo via the RD or RG via ferrata and from there take the path you took on the way there. It is possible to continue along the riverbed for 20 to 25 minutes (exit of the canyon of Travenanzes) to get back to the right side at a tributary with a large boulder field. A path takes you back to path no. 10, which you took on the way there.

Fanes: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: From Cortina d'Ampezzo, take the SS51 in the direction of Dobbiaco. After 7 or 8 km the road makes a big hairpin bend to the right with large parking lots in the extension of the road (entrance to the Ampezzo Dolomites Nature Park). Park there.
Return: Climb up to Pont Outo via the RD or RG via ferrata and from there take the path you took on the way there.

Approach: Steigen Sie hinunter zum Varenna, den Sie durchwaten, dann überqueren Sie die Brücke über Gandolfi und steigen Sie den roten Wanderweg X hinauf. An der dritten Furt sieht man den 25 Meter hohen Wasserfall, überquert diese Furt und steigt weiter (ziemlich steil) bis zu den Ruinen hinauf. Von dort aus geht es noch ein Stück weiter bis zu einem sehr großen Felsblock, hinter dem man leicht in das Bachbett gelangt. Folgen Sie den ganzen Weg über genau dem roten X-Weg.
Tour: Eine erste Passage mit 7 m hohen Felsblöcken, die es zu erklimmen gilt, führt zu einer 11 m hohen Rinne (3 Bolzen am linken Ufer). Nach 5 bis 10 Minuten Fußmarsch wird die Strecke etwas enger, es gibt einige schöne Abseilstellen (6 + eine kleine 3 m hohe Rinne). Man erreicht die zweite Furt. Weiter geht es auf dem Weg bis zur ersten Furt (nichts Interessantes in der Schlucht), wo man wieder aufsteigt, um eine letzte kleine Engstelle mit einer C10 zu überwinden.

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.

Lona: Canyon End
Return: 50 meters after the C3 under the bridge, leave the right bank and take a path that exits in front of the house you passed on the way there.

Lona: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: A10 Ventimiglia/Genua highway, exit Arma di Taggia. 2.6 km after the toll booth, take the second road on the right towards Imperia-Taggia via the SS1bis. At the traffic circle, turn left towards Taggia-Triora. The road runs along the left bank, then hairpin bends back to the right bank and crosses the river Oxentina shortly afterwards. Turn right just after the bridge, signs "Meosü". Park just before the bridge over the Argentina.

Mallaley: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot, take the road towards St. Pierre and walk about a hundred meters to the start of a well-signposted hiking trail on the right. The path very quickly joins a tractor track where you must turn left towards Lyveroulaz. After 200 meters, turn right towards Chiséraz, a new path that quickly crosses the stream.
Tour: A series of tufa waterfalls in a wooded setting. The small waterfalls are easy to climb down. Those that require a rope can all be attached to natural anchors (trees). In several places, the torrent undercuts the left wall, forming a kind of rock shelter. The torrent is often overgrown with vegetation. A machete can be useful. Unique canyon that is clearly different from the other canyons in the Aosta Valley. Suitable for beginners.

Mallaley: Canyon End
Return: Mallaley flows into the Dora Baltée. At the confluence, take the path that leads downstream along the Dora. After 200 m, a footbridge takes you to Mécosse on the opposite bank. It is possible to skip the shuttle bus. In Mécosse, take the return path that starts below the parking lot, cross the footbridge and immediately begin the ascent on path no. 15, which passes a small chapel, leads to the vineyards and takes you to Livéroulaz. In the village, turn left towards La Cure (signpost no. 15), the tarmac road becomes a tractor track. After about twenty minutes, turn left towards Chiséraz to find the start of the canyon. All in all, allow just under an hour.

Mallaley: Parking at Entry
Access: In Aosta, take the national road in the direction of the Mont Blanc tunnel. After Villeneuve and 1.2 km after the turn-off to Introd, turn right onto a small road that leads to the hamlet of Mécosse. Park in the parking lot at the entrance to the village (car going downhill). For the car going uphill, turn around and take the national road towards Aosta. At the entrance to St. Pierre, take a first left, then a second left after the cooperative to head towards Fossaz, St. Nicolas. Follow the main road up the slope. 600 m before Fossaz, there is a huge parking lot on the right where you can park.

Approach: From the parking lot, follow the dirt road that descends and crosses the Rio Margologio over a concrete bridge. After the bridge, continue uphill until you reach some electricity pylons in an open area. Leave the road here and take a path to the right that quickly leads to the small railroad tracks. Cross the tracks (watch out for trains!) and follow the path through the forest until you reach some ruins. Pass these on the left-hand side. The path now becomes a comfortable mule track. After a good stretch uphill, pass a crossroads and keep left (the path on the right leads down to the stream, intermediate exit). At the crossroads, when the path flattens out, take the steeper and shorter path on the right (both paths lead to lErta) to reach the meadows of l'Erta at 1050 m. There is a signpost to the right of the highest huts. Take the only path on the right, which is not marked with arrows and leads flat to Rio Margologio (from here 15-20).
Tour: A first large third with steep waterfalls in an open environment. This is followed by the small, beautiful middle third. At the exit, the stream opens up again into a less attractive part. You come to a water extraction point with a rope. Descend the following C12, making the best possible use of the iron bars provided. From this point, it is very easy to exit via the right bank and its good path, which quickly leads to the bridge you took on the way there. Otherwise, the descent continues with 4 waterfalls, 2 of which (the Vrille and the last C22) are beautiful ... The canyon is long and slippery and requires a total of 7 to 8 hours of effort. Most of the belays are still equipped with the original equipment, i.e. 2 bolts + chain. It is therefore essential to have at least one thin rope and small carabiners with you. Make sure that the rope walks well through the chain links as it can easily get jammed.

Return: During the descent, you will pass a wooden bridge, followed by the last three abseils. Follow the riverbed for about 150 m and then turn right into the forest as quickly as possible, following a faint path that descends slightly beside the stream. The path then flattens out and becomes more visible, moving away from the riverbed and eventually reaching the railroad track near the bridge. Follow the tracks to the right to rejoin the access path. If you see the bridge above you, you have descended too far. Alternatively, you can follow the riverbed to the road bridge (not recommended).

Approach: Cross the small bridge and follow the slightly ascending concrete path on the right (red arrows of the Moto Club) to the old bridge over the Rio, starting at 880 m altitude.
Tour: We start at the bridge with a 10 m rappelling route (natural anchoring RG). Some waterfalls lead to the beautiful C45, which is divided into two rappelling routes (20+30), with a cramped intermediate belay on the left bank. This is followed by two small waterfalls with shallow pools. The exit is on the left bank of the bridge at an altitude of 726 m.

Continue for about 30 meters and park in a parking lot on the left just before you cross a small bridge.
Return: From the bridge, follow the beautiful path on the left bank that leads past an oratory and back to the asphalt road that leads up to the parking lot.

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).

Ténalle: Canyon Start
Approach: Below the boulder with the blue dot, a not very well-marked path begins, which more or less follows a contour line (some cairns were erected in 2016). The path leads to the beginning of the canyon in a few minutes.
Tour: 18 relatively open abseils break up the descent, which runs without interruption. The Hône/Pont Boset hiking trail crosses the exit of the canyon via a stable wooden bridge. The part below the bridge includes a C42 in a well-enclosed chute. This is the most beautiful passage of the canyon. However, to get to the lower part, you inevitably have to cross the Ayasse. If the above-mentioned preliminary reconnaissance shows that this crossing is impossible, it is essential to leave the canyon via the hiking trail (return in 10 minutes).

Ténalle: Canyon End
Return: There are two options at the foot of the boulder field: _ Descend the Ayasse using canyoning techniques when the water level is low (description follows). This requires good knowledge of "white water" techniques. This option is only suitable for experienced people. The tour is then very varied (rappel at lofty heights + water section). Cross the Ayasse and reach the hiking trail on the right bank. A boulder in the riverbed, about fifteen meters above the confluence, makes the crossing easier. To get there, stay on the rope at the exit of the last small ropes section on the right bank and climb up a few meters to reach a small ledge that runs alongside the Ayasse. There is an anchorage on this ledge, but the equipment would need to be renewed. If the current of the Ayasse is very strong and the water is flowing over the boulder (normally you should not stay there then!), continue on the ledge. A little further on there is a widening of the Ayasse that allows you to cross at your own risk.

Ténalle: Parking at Entry
Access: Between Verrès and Pont St Martin, leave the national highway and head towards the Champorcher valley. In Hône, 270 m after the highway bridge, turn left onto a square in front of the town hall and cross the river Ayasse. Follow the road that runs parallel to the Ayasse uphill and park your car 570 m after the bridge in the first hairpin bend (left). At this hairpin bend, the path to the tourist complex on the river Ayasse (signpost Orrido di Hône), the normal way back from the canyon and the Pontboset/Hône hiking trail, which is also well signposted, meet on the right. Before parking the car upstream, check the flow of the Ayasse via the tourist route (see explanations below). Ténalle is the tributary that flows on the right side of the Ayasse through a crevasse with a huge boulder field, almost at the exit of the tourist trail. Allow a time of less than 2 x 15 minutes. If the Ayasse cannot be crossed, the return from the canyon is via the Hône/Pontboset hiking trail. For the car parked above, walk back up the ascent and park at the first hairpin bend (left) after the exit of the paved road, 2.3 km after the car parked below. A blue dot is painted on a large boulder at the side of the road.

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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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).

Approach: With cable car: from the parking area, take the cable car up to the village of Monteviasco. Walk down into the village and cross it eastwards to take the path towards Alpe Cortetti and Viasco. The trail, initially uphill and then more level, leads progressively deeper into the Viaschina valley. After passing Alpe Polusa, pay attention: the Merigetto tributary is the first significant stream encountered. The first anchor is clearly visible just beyond the railing (46°04'05.6"N 8°50'35.3"E). About 50 minutes for 150 m elevation gain. Without cable car: from the parking area, cross the bridge over the Viaschina Torrent (the final abseils are clearly visible) and at the junction take the right fork following the signs for Monteviasco. The ancient mule track, with its 1,442 stone steps, leads up to the village. Once in Monteviasco, cross the village and follow the cable car approach to reach the stream. About 2 hours for 540 m elevation gain.

Approach: Parking lot and start of access as at Pliz inferiore. After crossing the stream (start of inferiore part), follow path 641. The path initially corresponds exactly to the track on OSM, but later it gets lost. 2021 the path was marked with blue dots. You reach path 621. Turn left and follow the path for about 1050m to reach the streambed
Tour: Approx. 15 rappels in alpine terrain. Exits at the more well-known start of the Inferiore.

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.

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).

Approach: Go up the steep road, pass the small hydroelectric power station and the level crossing and reach the hamlet of Dalovio. Continue to the village of Ratto and follow the road, which is now unpaved. After a short series of hairpin bends, just after a fountain, a wide path leads into the forest and then past the first small aqueduct hut. The path continues halfway up, approaches the stream and passes more aqueduct huts. At the third, you will see the water supply at the bottom of the stream, which marks the starting point of the descent.
Tour: Nice "stress-free" canyon, not deep but still well cut into the rock. It doesn't compare to the more adrenaline-filled canyons in the area, but it is continuous and quite entertaining. There may be several logs at the beginning of the season. There is also a short upper part (3-4 rappels) above the water intake at the starting point. This part has a natural water flow that can be quite high at the beginning of the season. Very easy anchors.

Access: From Masera, take the SS 337 in the direction of Locarno up the Val Vigezzo. Shortly after the junction for Coimo, on the left, near a house/bar (with parking lot), follow a steep road on the right that descends to the Melezzo stream and leads to the village of Dalovio. After about 200 meters you cross the bridge and reach a clearing in front of a trout farm where you can park your car. From this point, the road is only accessible to local residents.
Return: Once you reach the confluence with the Melezzo, climb up to the left through the forest on barely recognizable paths to reach the car. It is possible to skip the last, less interesting part by getting out shortly after the last narrow part, near the railroad bridge and just before the last (and highest) anchor. Turn left into the forest and follow the barely recognizable paths.

Approach: Go down this path on the D side, which passes in front of an old dilapidated chapel, to the bridge.
Tour: This route would be equipped to pass through the asset or outside with a few MCs. However, there are some basins... Important note: At the exit of the route, signs have been posted prohibiting access from below both to the final section of the canyon and to the climbing crag nearby. These signs are only visible at the gates of the power plant and not along the approach road. 👉 Extra care is recommended when planning the descent and checking the current access conditions. Alpine canyon with very high water flow, navigable at low water since the construction of the hydroelectric plant in 2007. Without shuttle: About 40 meters before the bridge, a trail begins: trail no. 1 towards Clavalité-Robioz. Approach from the left bank in 1 hour.

Approach: Follow the road downhill. After a few hundred meters, the mule track to Antillone begins on the right. Follow the mule track to the village of Antllone. Continue through the houses, pass the church and keep left on the marked path towards Alpe Vova. The path climbs for a while, then flattens out. When it descends again, it soon crosses the stream, where the descent begins.
Tour: WARNING: On weekdays, there may be loud and somewhat alarming (but not dangerous) explosions near the quarry.

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.

Inferno (Chieti): Canyon Start
Approach: Am Ende der Straße gehen Sie auf den Kamm und biegen an der Jungfrau links auf den GR 1 ab. An den Schildern gehen Sie weiter auf dem Kamm und nehmen am Brunnen den kleinen, kaum sichtbaren Pfad links, der in einen guten Weg übergeht (2118 m, GR 5). Sie umrunden den Hügel mit zwei Passagen mit Ketten und Seilen. Sie gelangen dann in den herrlichen Talkessel der Murelle. Nun beginnt ein steiler Aufstieg. Passieren Sie die Felsbarriere und gelangen Sie auf ein grasbewachsenes Plateau. Der Weg führt weiter nach links und mündet in den Kamm. Gehen Sie weiter in Richtung Gipfel der Murelle und nehmen Sie oberhalb der Felsen einen Weg nach links, der den Gipfel umgeht. Sie befinden sich nun auf den Gipfelkämmen und sehen unten den Pass, der den Startpunkt der Wanderung markiert. Bewundern Sie auch den Waldweg, der Sie zum Startpunkt der Schlucht geführt hätte, wenn er begehbar wäre ;-). Am tiefsten Punkt des Passes beginnt die Schlucht im Geröllfeld. Von Pennapiedimonte führen Wege hinauf zum Monte Cavallo, aber sie sind sehr lang.
Tour: Der obere Teil ist aufgrund des Gerölls und des brüchigen Kalksteins mühsam. Man überwindet die Wasserfälle mithilfe von ANs an verkümmerten Kiefern. Erst vor dem 72 m hohen Wasserfall ist die Schlucht etwas besser ausgestattet und beginnt sich zu vertiefen. Die Gurte müssen ausgetauscht werden. Der C72 ist mit einem RG-Standplatz ausgestattet, an dem ein Karabinerhaken an einem Seil befestigt ist, das 5 m in den Wasserfall hineinragt, um Reibung zu vermeiden. An seinem Fuß befindet sich oft ein kleines Firnfeld, gefolgt von einem viel größeren. Die Atmosphäre ist grandios, wild, der Mensch wird hier gerade noch toleriert. Die Hindernisse bestehen hauptsächlich aus Felsblöcken. Aber die Schlucht wird schließlich sehr eng und bietet ein oder zwei ästhetische Passagen. Am Ausgang nehmen die Firnfelder wieder ihren Platz ein, mit einem echten Gletscher, der Steigeisen erfordert. Am Ende des Firnfeldes fließt oft Wasser und man muss sich für den nächsten doppelten Wasserfall ausrüsten. Das Firnfeld setzt gleich danach wieder ein. Das Ende ist durch einen langen Marsch durch uninteressante Felsblöcke gekennzeichnet. Endlich erreichen wir den Zusammenfluss mit Selvaromana und es liegen noch 750 m mühsamer Marsch vor uns. Man kann über die Wasserleitung entkommen. Schließlich gewinnt der Abstieg mit einer herrlichen Engstelle an Charakter. Die Äste behindern jedoch das Vorankommen. Wir setzen unseren Weg in einem zweiten, weniger eingeschnittenen Abschnitt fort, der jedoch schnell austrocknet und an Interesse verliert.

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.

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...

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.

Approach: Continue along the road, first paved and then unpaved, until you reach Peccia. From here, take trail 201, then at the Napoleonic Bridge, switch to trail 205 toward Passo del Maccagno (GTA route). Follow this trail to Alpe Buzzo Inferiore. A little further ahead, you’ll pass above the canyon to be descended (the narrow corridor is clearly visible). Continue for a few dozen meters and enter the stream as soon as possible.
Tour: The descent begins with some easy downclimbing until a marked left turn (where a large avalanche often deposits). Here you’ll find the first rappel, C5 (not equipped), immediately followed by C7 left (single anchor) — below this point, the canyon becomes very narrow. Two beautiful pools lead to C12 right (single anchor, possible jump into a magnificent pool below), followed by C7 (not equipped, precise jump possible) and C3 (not equipped, snow may persist here). You then reach the tallest waterfall, C25 left (single anchor; the approach is exposed — a handline would be useful). The pool below is spectacular and allows for several high jumps. Next comes C18 right, marking the end of the canyon. From here, walk about 10 minutes to reach an easy exit point on the right that leads back to the trail.

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.

2025-08-17: Short and easy canyon but with a beautiful gorge and crystal clear water, it can be combined with ferrata and from the ferrata you can reach some dives
Approach: Continue on foot along the uphill road until you find, on the left, a trail that follows an irrigation channel. Follow it for about 15 minutes to its end, where it meets the Elvo stream (there’s a trail with canyoning signs on the left).
Tour: From the end of the trail, descend toward the stream where you’ll find the first 4 m drop with an anchor point. Continue through a small tunnel with a slide and another 4 m jump. Proceed easily until you reach a wooden bridge; a few meters further, you’ll find the first large slab. A sequence of easy slides leads to a 7 m toboggan (anchor on the right), which takes you to the second large slab. At the end of the pool there’s a 6 m jump, difficulty A4. Continue easily for about 50 m, then climb up to the left (fixed ropes) to reach the smooth slab with another small 2 m jump. Here the stream narrows into a gorge, and the most enjoyable option is to follow the via ferrata for about 200 m to the large slab, where you can abseil 10 m or jump (A4). Continue in the water and climb left for a 5 m jump. The final 4 m jump leads to the exit on the left; continue easily until the pool where the Janca stream flows in from the right.

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.

2023-09-29: A very simple and short canyon, it is worth traveling through for the forested wilderness environment into which it descends. V2A3II, 2h More detailed information on gulliver.com
Approach: Walk back a short distance along the road until you find a nice forest section, where it’s easy to descend toward the stream by following faint tracks.
Tour: Enter the easy streambed, where you’ll find a few small natural slides and nice pools, then continue walking until you reach a concrete dam, which you bypass on the left. Just below, on the right bank, you’ll find the first rappel (C12). Immediately after, on the left bank, there’s a C10 with some rope friction, followed by a 5-meter slide with a possible rappel (though the anchor on the right side is very difficult to reach, C8). Continue walking for about 10 minutes until you reach C15, then walk again until you come out into the village. Total time: about 2 hours.

Vallone Porto: Canyon Start
Approach: After parking near the village of Nocelle, take the steep CAI path no. 31 that leads up to Monte Caliello, and then continue on path no. 33, which passes a recent landslide and crosses into the valley of our tour. Entry at the crossing of the mostly dry streambed.
Tour: The canyon immediately begins with dry rappels of between 15 and 45 meters until the high 75m waterfall is reached, where there is a steel cableway that carries wood to the Nocelle bridge. Exit of the first, dry part. Water sometimes appears under the waterfall, unfortunately also garbage at the Nocelle bridge. Fortunately, the garbage soon disappears, the canyon narrows between narrow and very high walls that offer nice rappel until we reach the entrance to Vallone Porto, a beautiful waterfall of 100m that offers an intermediate belay after 65m. The canyon continues in a more open environment to the bottom of the valley, where a hermit lives in a beautiful erimitage.

Approach: Leave your car in the parking lot (or wherever you can park, given the absolute shortage of parking spaces on the coast) and take the uphill path, which you follow without difficulty to a forest hut (Caserma forestale 723m). Along the way you have an extraordinary panorama of Positano. At the refuge, turn left into the valley of our stream.
Tour: The route is characterized by high rappels on natural fixed points (there is no shortage of trees). The sequence is 25mt 15mt 5mt 25mt 10mt 8mt 30mt 90mt (split: relay 10mt + 80mt) 20mt 30mt at this point you meet a path that points to the left of the old path, completely overgrown with brambles and not passable, so continue in the overgrown streambed 15mt here you reach a step of an aqueduct, but again it is impossible to follow the path as it is impassable, continue with the last waterfall 30mt after the rappel, go all the way to the right to cross a ledge that eventually leads to a path.

Torno e Trenico: Canyon Start
Tour: The Torno is the more interesting of the two streams, as it has two beautiful gorge sections, the first upstream of the road bridge, where there are also fun passages, and one below, with walls almost 100 meters high. Little gradient with very few abseils. The Trenico is an almost 2 km long, aqua trekking route between low rock walls with long pools where you can swim and make numerous jumps from the banks. The route is dry in summer and is therefore recommended in the rainy season when the water level is good.

Access: Downstream: After Ormea, head up the valley and, before reaching the turnoff for Val Tanarello, park your car in a widening of the road—on the river side—just beyond the Rio Borgosozzo. From here, you can see the gorge, hidden by vegetation. Upstream: From the turnoff for Ponte di Nava, continue toward the hill and shortly after, turn right toward the Madonna dei Cancelli. Once you reach the chapel, you can park or drive past it, continuing straight on the dirt road and stopping a little further on, near a small fork in the woods where you can turn around.
Return: After fording the Tanaro, you quickly get back to the car. Pay attention to its load capacity before starting the journey.

Val di 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 red markings, until below the last waterfall of the upper part, where you cross the stream, continue along a chute, always faithfully following the red 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 traverse towards the stream on the right (red markings) to reach the start of the canyon slightly downhill, right at the first beautiful 25 m high waterfall. (50 min - 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). The well-known via ferrata runs through the lower part. At some points after the highest anchor you can clip into the climbing harnesses.

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.

Shortly before reaching the meadows of the alpe, near a ruined building, leave the main trail and follow a flat path to the right. Cross a small valley and reach the streambed. It is also possible to shorten the approach by following the “Vertical” trail, which branches off along the ascent and climbs steeply on the left bank.
Tour: No particular difficulties. Some rappels descend over multiple waterfalls in sequence.

2025-09-17: MagiaiGa, short but interesting passage into Ara caves, with a headlamp you can explore better. 4 rappels, V2A2II
Approach: By car: From Grignasco, continue toward Borgosesia. After a few hundred meters, turn right onto a narrower road following the signs for Ara - Grotte di Ara (pass under a brick arch). Continue uphill until you reach the village of Ara, where you can park in the first parking lot. On foot: Continue through the village, following the signs for "Grotte di Ara." You'll find a gate, but it's open. Continue on level ground for 5 minutes (trail 779) until you reach the Ara Caves park. Just before the bridge, follow a path on the left that passes above the park building (without entering the fence). After about a hundred meters, you'll find another bridge over the stream; enter here.
Tour: This route takes place within a protected area; ask for permission at the park office. Equipped in 2023 by Monterosacanyoning: Pablo Pinali and Lea Ameghino. It is the only route in Valsesia on limestone rock. You immediately find the first C8dx, which leads to a beautiful narrow corridor. Immediately after, the stream enters a very characteristic small cave, and then under a beautiful rock arch. Then you find C12 (boulder in the center) and a bit of walking with some easy downclimbing and a possible dive. You reach the last C6sx+C10sx, the first one diving-able.

Approach: Cross the bridge over the Toce before the parking lot and continue left until you reach the road to the mine, which you follow uphill to the right. As soon as you reach the first buildings of the mine, turn left onto a marked path (red color) that leads up into the forest. After a long, steep climb, the path turns sharply to the right and runs horizontally over a rocky outcrop until you cross a stream. The path continues semi-horizontally until it begins to ascend significantly. At this point, from which you can already see the valley of the main gorge, you leave the path and continue horizontally on a ledge with some exposed parts until you reach the riverbed. The first rocky slope must be climbed down.
Tour: CAUTION: On working days there may be strong explosions in the nearby mine, which are disturbing but not dangerous.

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. Exit right by the water outtake-black tube/water supply of the locals.

Tour: Surprisingly well bolted, mostly M10 and doubled, AIC mentions 35m max but this is the total waterfall. Mid-way there is a mid-belaystation, which is more like 25m.

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)

Val D'Ortié: Canyon Start
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.

Approach: With cable car: from the parking area, take the cable car up to the village of Monteviasco. Walk down into the village and cross it eastwards to take the path towards Alpe Cortetti and Viasco. The trail, initially uphill and then more level, leads progressively deeper into the Viaschina valley. After passing Alpe Polusa, the Merigetto tributary (two branches) is encountered, followed by the Piancarossa tributary. After passing Alpe Cortetti, descend into Val Rattaiola; the branch described here is the second one encountered (46°03'33.8"N 8°50'24.7"E). About 1h 30’ for 150 m elevation gain. Without cable car: from the parking area, cross the bridge over the Viaschina Torrent (the final abseils are clearly visible) and at the junction take the right fork following the signs for Monteviasco. The ancient mule track, with its 1,442 stone steps, leads up to the village. Once in Monteviasco, cross the village and follow the cable car approach to reach the stream. About 2h 30’ for 540 m elevation gain. With shuttle: return with a car to Curiglia (2 km) and park in the village (46°03'41.7"N 8°48'16.4"E). From here, on foot, take the paved road that climbs to Viasco. Once at the alpine pasture, continue on the same road, now unpaved and more level, until reaching the Rattaiola Torrent. About 1h 30’ for 300 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.

Approach: • With shuttle: from the parking lot, continue on Via Bertolotti to the bridge over the stream, where it is possible to enter the water near the climbing crag (5 min). Continue walking in the streambed for about 1 h (approximately 1 km and 160 m descent) until reaching the first obvious vertical drop (fixed anchor on the left) and the start of the interesting section (46°01'37.3"N 10°21'56.4"E). • Without shuttle: from the lower parking lot, continue briefly south on the paved road until you reach the trail ascending to Cimbergo. Climb the trail for about 300 m of ascent until reaching the paved road. Follow the road to the village of Cimbergo, cross it, and continue towards Paspardo until reaching the bridge over the stream. From here, continue in the streambed to the first vertical drop. Approximately 2 h 30 min for 570 m ascent and 160 m descent.

Re di Tredenus: Canyon End
Return: • The recommended exit is after rappel #18: climb the scree on the left bank until you find the trail to the 'Eco Mostro' crag, marked with red and yellow blazes (about 30 m ascent). Following the trail to the right, climb a ridge and then descend to Capo di Ponte, emerging right near the small church where the car was left (15 minutes; 100 m descent). • Alternatively, continue through the boulder chaos in the stream to the bridge at 430 m (D5; D2; C25; D50; C8; D8; boulder chaos 300 m), where it is then possible to exit and return to the cars in 1 minute (30 min from rappel #18). However, this option is not recommended, as it is just a long scramble over rocks that adds nothing to the beautiful upper section.

Valù: Canyon Start
Approach: From the parking lot near the stream, go back along the paved road for about 1 km. Just before crossing the Valle di Os, a dirt road branches off to the right leading to Alpe Maè. At the alpe, keep to the right and enter the forest, ascending straight on trail traces until reaching a grassy area and then a flat trail. Follow the trail to the right, crossing several small valleys. At a fork near a charcoal kiln, take the lower trace, which will soon lead to the pine forest felled by Storm Vaia in 2018. Armed with a saw and patience, find a way through the maze of logs, continuing on flat ground until reaching the stream. Once in the streambed, follow the stream until the first rappel, equipped with a ring on the right (46°05'49.6"N 10°25'49.1"E). About 1 h 30 min for 300 m ascent.

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.

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.

Then climb under the bridge to the next belay (right), rappel approx. 10m to a handrail on the left. From there rappel approx. 20m (confluence with the Torrente Bordina). Then follow several smaller steps and rappels to the "Cascata dell inferno" (rope traverse and belay on the left). Either get out here and follow the path to the parking lot, or continue along the streambed to the forest path/parking lot (3 more waterfalls, block climbing).

Comba dei Fossali: Canyon Start
2025-07-28: Simple, almost dry in this season
2024-05-23: Route with very sporty flow, in summer, however, it is quite dry. Easy rappels, max. 30 m, 2.30 h.
Approach: From here, take the dirt road closed by a gate and follow it for about 15 minutes until you reach a concrete bridge with a bench — this is the entry point into the stream.
Tour: A small canyon with 12 rappels; in late summer, water flow is minimal. From the entrance, a 5-minute walk along the slippery riverbed leads to the first rappel (C15). Continue walking to reach C10, anchored to a tree in the center. Below are two small slides, then continue outside the stream along a path that follows it for about 10 minutes. From the third rappel onward, the descent becomes continuous, with a beautiful sequence ending in a C30 featuring a suspended pool to be crossed. Further down are additional rappels, including one with a handline (MC) and an awkward stance — beware of strong rope friction a few meters below. The pool beneath allows for several possible jumps. A few more rappels bring you back out onto the main Valsesia road at the hamlet of Molino Nuovo. Total duration: about 3 hours.

Oro di Cangeli: Canyon Start
2025-10-11: It is not easy to find the access point, fortunately there is a sign saying "canyoning" and then some ropes for a somewhat exposed passage...don't hold on to the ropes too much xche they are attached...
2025-09-26: https://www.gulliver.it/itinerari/rio-oro-di-cangelli/ Coordinates Input: 45.8380973, 8.0538647 Exit: 45.8429673, 8.0679023 Recommended ropes: 1x70m + 2x60m
2025-08-23: 2 nice sections with 2 long boulder walks... The 50 m relais is really beautiful, a bit slippery
Approach: Walk along the provincial road toward Rimasco, pass the hydroelectric plant on the Sermenza river, and after a few minutes, take the iron bridge on the left to cross the river. From there, follow trail 381 toward Alpe Chignolo. After about 1 hour of hiking, cross a small wooden bridge reinforced with supports over a minor stream, then continue the final 3 minutes uphill in the forest along the CAI trail. At a junction, trail 381 continues left toward Alpe Chignolo; for the canyon, keep right, following stone cairns. Continue contouring just below trail 381 without losing elevation for about 5 minutes through the forest, until you must climb slightly — keep right here (a short exposed section). From there, traverse gently left and start descending toward the stream through rough, steep terrain (about 40 m elevation loss).
Tour: A technical canyon featuring 12 rappels, the highest being 50 m, with several linked rappels, handlines, and a couple of deviations. It is well equipped, mostly with chain anchors and rappel rings on the more complex pitches. The section leading to the 50 m rappel is the highlight — aesthetically striking and engaging. After the final 27 m rappel (with a high left-hand deviation and a difficult rope retrieval), continue along the streambed among boulders and slippery sections that should not be underestimated, until reaching a small bridge. Exit to the right here and walk about 5 minutes to return to the starting point. Warnings: > Rope friction inside the small grotto at the end of the third rappel (C32). > Rope retrieval issues on the fifth rappel (C28) due to vegetation that can snag the rope. > Friction at the very start of the sixth rappel (C30). > Jump immediately after the C50: shallow water, not recommended.

2025-09-25: All ok...really hard recoveries in the higher falls
2025-09-17: Route after heavy rains... Lots of cold water but it makes the descent more adrenaline, the 120 m waterfall is very beautiful
Approach: Take trail 367 to Dorca, which climbs steeply through the woods. You pass through the village of "Segheria" and then reach a fork. Both trails lead to Dorca. The one on the right is short and steep, while the one on the left is gentler but longer, either way, it takes about 30 minutes. You reach Dorca. Here, continue on the trail for a short distance until it crosses the Rio della Gula, where you enter the canyon.
Tour: The first part of the route features some downclimbs that are best tackled with a rope attached to a tree for safety, the canyon has no escape routes We begin by descending into the river bed between boulders, with some downclimbing, after 10 min. The first C9dx+C25sx is found, then you reach the large 120m waterfall divided into MC3sx+C33sx+C52sx+C30sx, continuing C12dx+C25dx, C15sx+C33sx, C6sx from tree, C8dx… the stream flows into the Egua which you have to cross and then go back up 50 m until you find the car

It climbs steeply at first, then flattens out as it enters the valley, and you'll come across a beautiful waterfall, which you'll need to cross. A little further on, cut downhill across the meadow, looking for the best spot to enter the gorge.
Tour: We begin, and the first stretch is a succession of descents no deeper than 20 meters, a few dips, and a bit of walking. After about an hour, we reach the beautiful C30, with a friction run and handrail, beneath a beautiful, very deep pool. We continue walking on the slippery riverbed and return directly to the village.

2025-09-02: Abseil outside the last 2 waterfalls to avoid the broken fix, 40/45 m
Approach: On foot: There are two paths; follow the one on the left, which almost runs alongside the Mastallone stream, passing through a pretty village. Then, cross a bridge over the Mastallone and go up the Piane valley. After a 10-minute climb, you'll find a hut on the right. This is where the lower section begins, on the left of the first large waterfall. Continue past some huts, then the path passes alongside a ravine. When this ends and the valley opens up, descend along tracks in the meadow to the stream (near some huts on the other side). 30 minutes in total.
Tour: Re-equipped (18/08/24) and modified some abseils. A single point was added for some difficult downclimbs. However, the abseil with the half-detached belay (the second of the last relay) was left as it was because the high flow rate made it unsafe to equip in such a narrow section. It can, however, be avoided with a C40 outside the gorge. There are two other abseils higher up, but given the distance from the rest of the route, they are less interesting. You enter and find the first C20 (right) (with a hanging pool to overcome), then C18 (right), a little march and you find a small bridge with some large pipes, just after C25 (left) (with rubbing), then MC+C18 (right), here begins a long stretch of walking between large boulders (15 min.) The stream narrows, you find C6 (right) (single point), then C10 (perhaps toboggan, right), toboggan 4m, you arrive at the final, more ravine-like section, MC (left, top, with 3 intermediate points) leads to C30, which ends in a turbulent pool, then C7 (left, single point), C18 (right), C10 (left), MC from tree (right) with subsequent relay C20 (right)+C15 (right), then final C5 (left, single point) and you practically arrive at the starting point in the town near the car park.

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.

2026-02-28: Went on this tour today at 7 degrees in the morning. Nice little canyon for in between. All belays good. Either single 10s or chain anchors, downclimb a few times.
Approach: From the car either up the stream or along the shooting range in a westerly direction to the canyon. A well-trodden path (orographic left, marked in Openmaps) with markings always goes up along the canyon. We roped down twice at a prominent bend in the path at an altitude of 740 meters. There are many trees and the path is always steep, along the meadows into the stream. The Italian description goes further up and then into the stream. See next paragraph. Info 2: from InfoCanyon by AIC, (Italian / German translation). Follow the dirt road that leads to the shooting range shortly after the shooting ranges. Then follow a path that leads to the stream on the right and then into the forest (red markings). Follow the steep path, turn right at a crossroads and ascend in steep serpentines to an altitude of 914 m. There the path drops slightly and crosses a dry basin (approx. 1 hour). The descent from the watershed must be done carefully, also using the ropes on natural climbing aids to reach the riverbed of our route at an altitude of 733 meters (approx. 40 feet).

Approach: Descend and cross the Sesia on the bridge toward Otra di Balmuccia, then reach the village. After the last house, there is a trail ascending toward the small stream, which is almost always dry. After 5 minutes, you reach the last waterfall of Croso del Riale. Climb via traces on the right-hand slope until you find an old unmarked trail leading to "Pra di Prello," ascend for 15 minutes. On the left, you can see the chasm of the gorge; you exit the forest for a stretch (meadow) before re-entering. Continue ascending until reaching a wider, slightly less steep forest, then cut to the left. On the edge of the gorge, there is a group of trees with a boulder nearby: this is the only point where you can descend inside the gorge for 10 meters without a rope. Then there is another group of trees from which you rappel 15 m to enter the stream. Total approach: 25 min.
Tour: First C7 right from a tree Then MC right from a small tree (only with high flow, for safety) and C12 right Then MC4 right + C16 right, C10 left (single anchor) Interesting passage with the characteristic “suspended boulder”; C15 right + C25 left (anchor behind the boulder) Then MC8 left + C22 left, C7 right Reach the last 45 m waterfall, doable in a single rappel or divided into C30 right + C15 right (single anchor). After this, exit on the left to rejoin the approach trail; 5 min back to the car. Total: 10 rappels, 2 h. The only exit route is on the right before the last large waterfall; it is clearly marked with rungs and pipes from a water intake. For the rest of the descent, it is impossible to exit or take shelter from possible floods.

Tour: Enter the stream, and after one small slide and a short downclimb, you reach the large 55 m waterfall, divided into C35 left and C20 left. Then a downclimb and a C10 from a tree, followed by a 10 m slide (single anchor present), another downclimb, and for the rest of the descent there is a fairly continuous sequence of small and large slides, some jumps, and several downclimbs. In the final section, there is a series of slides, including a very long one (about 20 m) that drops into a very narrow pool—feasibility needs to be checked.

Approach: From here, follow the old trail 286/86 to Colma di Campertogno, which becomes more evident in the forest after the small church of San Pantaleone. After a gentle start, the trail steepens to overcome a rocky section, then enters the Basaleto valley. Upon reaching the small tributary "Croso dell’Eva" (before the trail becomes steep again in a beech forest), descend along the Croso or through the forest for about 50 m until you reach the canyon. Total: 30 min.
Tour: Start by walking in a fairly wide streambed. After 10 minutes, you encounter the first MC10 right + C12 right, then a C20 right from a tree, leading to the large sloping waterfall. The large waterfall is divided into C30 left, which overcomes some drops, and the beautiful C40 left, ending in a very deep pool. Then C13 right, C17 left + C12 right.

Stria: Alternative Canyon Start

Isorno (Intermedio) - Piemonte: Canyon Start
Approach: The approach time depends greatly on your ability not to get lost! That said, the goal is fairly simple: you need to climb up to the top of the penstock. From the parking area, follow the stream upstream beneath large slabs until you reach a point where a forest opens diagonally to the left, just before more big slabs. Leave the river there — you should come across some ruins. From these ruins, climb up steep, faint paths generally heading left, sometimes following a vague trail marking. A huge fallen chestnut tree blocking the path marks a distinctive spot. Continue to follow the paths as best you can, sometimes more horizontal, always keeping to your left-hand side. Eventually you should reach the penstock. Cross it via a small concrete footbridge, then follow more faint paths (again!) to the left, more or less level, until you reach the chalets of L’Alpe d’Aulogna. From there, continue uphill to the left through meadows and woods until you can see the penstock again above you. From that point, you’ve made it — just follow the rails that run alongside the pipe (you’ll lose sight of it for a while when it goes through a tunnel). The pipe then passes under a kind of avalanche barrier, and crosses three footbridges. Go down to the river after the third footbridge.
Tour: A long river walk interspersed with beautiful pools and basins in a magnificent setting. A few small abseils and jumps add variety to the route. The riverbed is fairly wide and the route is quite gentle, but it runs through a deep gorge from which it would be very difficult to exit before reaching the Devil’s Bridge. The final section, however, is very narrow and enclosed, with no possible escape or way to get out of the water.

Isorno (Intermedio) - Piemonte: Canyon End
Return: Once you reach the end of the intermediate section, just below the Devil’s Bridge (Ponte di Diavolo), it would be a real shame to exit there. The reward is the exceptional final section of the Isorno!

Approach: From here, you’ll see an iron bridge over the Sesia River — cross it and follow the steep mule track up to the Madonna della Neve chapel. From there, take the path to the left, entering the beech forest just above, and follow the signs for Valmala di sotto–sopra (trail 222/22). The path climbs to the left and reaches a plateau; from here, descend on the opposite side to the right until you find the bridge over the stream. (Approx. 20 minutes.)
Tour: The route begins with a short walk, passing by some beautiful pools where small jumps are possible (about 15 minutes). At a left-hand bend, you’ll come to a narrow section with a slide (toboggan) that can be done with relaxed legs — the pool below is very small. Alternatively, if there’s too much water, descend (C5) on the left side. Continue onward: a few jumps follow in a canyon-like environment, leading to an extremely narrow part of the gorge where you can touch both walls. Here, you downclimb under the water flow on slippery rocks, reaching a beautiful pool inside a cave. You’ve now reached the final section, where the gorge narrows even more. Depending on water levels, this part can be either a long swim or a walk through shallow water. Several bends lead to the final descent (C12), which opens out where the Valmala gorge flows into the Sesia River.

Approach: From the parking area, you’ll see an iron bridge over the Sesia River — cross it and follow the steep mule track up to the Madonna della Neve chapel. From there, take the path to the left, entering the beech forest just above, and follow the signs for Valmala di sotto–sopra (trail 222/22). The path climbs to the left and reaches a plateau; from here, descend on the opposite side to the right until you find the bridge over the stream. (Approx. 20 minutes.) Cross the bridge over the Valmala gorge (comba di Valmala) and follow the trail along the right orographic bank, ascending gradually. After about 20 minutes, you’ll reach an iron bridge over a small tributary of the Valmala gorge with a low water flow (Comba di Tranta). Continue for another 5 minutes until the trail crosses another tributary with a slightly higher flow (Comba Ruschera). From this point, you enter the main Valmala gorge. (Approx. 25 minutes from the bridge, 45 minutes from the parking area.)
Tour: Once you enter the Comba Ruschera, you immediately reach the first waterfall — C16 right. From the beautiful pool below, there’s another descent, C20 left, ending in a hanging pool. A little further down, you enter the main Comba di Valmala, where the water flow is much greater. After some walking among beautiful pools, you reach a point where the stream is deeply carved between high walls — here you find C13 left, a stunning free-hanging descent under the water flow. Continuing downstream, the canyon stretches out for a long section without waterfalls but remains scenically impressive. Several jumps are possible into the many pools along the way. The riverbed then widens, leading to the bridge where the lower section begins.

Approach: Follow the uphill concrete road leading into the upper Val Sorba, following the signs for Ristorante Heidi. When the concrete road ends, continue along the beautiful mule track (CAI trail 251/51). You’ll first reach the mountain pasture with the restaurant, then Alpe Sorba. Continue straight, ignoring the bridge on the left, and stay in the valley bottom. At one point, the trail runs along a cliff (there’s a railing); at the bottom, you can see a large pool with a waterfall. Continue climbing until you find another bridge on the left — from here you can admire two waterfalls of the canyon. Ignore the bridge, and continue until you meet a dirt road; follow it until a ford over the Sorba stream, where the descent begins. (Total: 1 hour 20 min.)
Tour: You’ll immediately find the first pool suitable for jumping, followed by a 4 m toboggan. After a 5-minute walk, you reach the first C15, then another nice 5 m toboggan leads into the continuous section of the canyon. Soon after: C10 right, C14 left, 3 m toboggan, C24 right, C22 right (tree — warning! in the gully there’s a boulder creating a siphon in the small pool, the rope can get stuck underneath) + C10 left, C14 left, leading to the large final pool. The last waterfall can also be jumped.

Return: Once you finish the canyon, after the last “lake,” the walls open up and the stream flattens out. Exit on the left through the woods, rejoining the approach trail; descend back to Rassa. (40 min.) It’s advisable to bring a change of clothes in a waterproof barrel, to put on after exiting the canyon for the fairly long return hike. (Alternatively, use a dry suit.)

Approach: Cross the bridge over the Sessera River, then turn right following the signs for Alpe Rattarone. Ford the Rio Confienzo at the exit point, then continue along an old carriage road now overgrown with shrubs. Follow it through several switchbacks until you reach a small pass; here, leave the road and follow a descending path on the opposite side, marked by a cairn and red-and-white tape. Descend about 100 meters through the forest (always follow the markings) until you reach the stream. (Total: about 40 min.)
Tour: The route begins with some walking, reaching the first MC3 + C10 (right), then immediately C7 (left) with a short rope for returning to the anchor, followed by a bit more walking and MC4 + C10 (right). After another short walk, you’ll find C4 (left, single anchor) and MC2 + C12 (left). From the beautiful pool below, walk a bit further until another stream joins in, then find C6 (right). After this, a fairly long walking section between beautiful pools leads to C7 (left), possible toboggan here. In the pool below, several jumps are possible. Continue walking through some easy downclimbs and narrow scenic passages until you reach the starting point and the dam.

Approach: After a good two-hour ascent, you reach an altitude of 1150 meters before beginning the descent and then descend to the riverbed at 1060 meters. The entrance amphitheater is of sublime beauty. Follow the path on the Tabacco as far as the Casera Avedinon and from there keep left, slightly uphill. At the fork in the path, turn right at 120° (be careful, danger of falling rocks!) and follow the path up to about 1150 meters. Following a faintly recognizable path near the ruins of the Casera, descend slowly until you reach the amphitheatre of the two springs below the Dou ridge. Entry is possible at about 900 meters, but leads over rocky ledges, some of which are quite exposed and overgrown.

Approach: It's a 20-minute walk to Val dell'Orso.
Tour: At altitude 1025 you could descend, encountering some downclimbs and three abseils. Shortly thereafter, you'll begin to encounter sections of prehistorically shaped riverbed; a 4-meter downclimb with a view of a deep gorge will welcome you to Valpora. The stream is in a beautiful, vibrant natural setting, rich in majestic views. It presents no particular technical difficulties, except for one abseil that ends in a trap pool that must be jumped over to avoid getting stuck. Numerous fallen trees upstream make the first stretch less enjoyable.

There is a possible intermediate access, unverified, via the footbridge at about 1100 meters above sea level that leads to the intake. This access allows you to avoid some of the approach if you ascend on foot, and the descent of the first section, perhaps the least interesting, but with a beautiful natural flow.

Approach: Take the CAI515 path until you reach the Val delle Monache riverbed at an altitude of 870 m.
Tour: The descent was smooth, except for finding a sling on a small drop, proving we weren't the first to have the idea of ​​going there. After a pleasant walk on gravel, we reached the riverbed and walked through the narrow gorge, which, although steep and beautiful. Once we reached a particularly steep and well-worked section, we encountered the second (and last) abseil after the sling. Armed, of course! After the waterfall, the gorge opened up and ended.

Torrente valle di Marnotto: Canyon Start
Tour: Forra alpina, affluente dx del torrente albano, parallela ma più a sud rispetto a val di gromo. 23 calate attrezzate in maniera speditiva/esplorativa di cui alcune attrezzate su nat, alcune in doppia, altre con cordino e maillons. Un po' di cose alle quali prestare attenzione: 1) la calata numero 14, è stata attrezzata con un singolo in riva dx molto lontano dal greto, per arrivare all'ancoraggio bisogna arrampicare per frasche; a -15 c'è una placchetta che abbiamo usato come deviatore perché purtroppo il fix girava, e lo sviluppo complessivo della calata si attesta intorno ai 30/35 m. 2) C85: partenza con ancoraggio doppio in riva dx, occhio a dove vi allongiate perché la placchetta senza anello ha il fix che gira, deviatore abbastanza disassato a - 5 e primo frazionamento a -30 su singolo, da lì parte un altra calata di una trentina di metri per andare a prendere l'ultimo frazionamento a -60 messo in posizione protetta; l'ultimo tiro sono circa 25 metri, quasi tutti con l'acqua addosso e con arrivo in una pozza ampia ma molto spumeggiante dove un nostro compagno non molto "sgamato" ha faticato per venire fuori. 3) la calata n°20 è una doppia su nat che passa 2/3 risalti, non immediato da comprendere perché l'alberello è abbastanza fine, ma in ottimo stato di salute e lontano dal passaggio dell'acqua. 4)la calata numero 22 è sicuramente quella più scenografica, ancoraggio doppio scollegato in riva sx , poi un tiro unico da 30 fin sotto (occhio agli sfregamenti, gestione importante anche per l'ultimo); vista dalla strada sul monte opposto sembra un mostro inavvicinabile, quando poi ti ci trovi sopra capisci che è molto più semplice di quello che sembra. Sequenza calate: 1)c5 doppia su nat riva sx 2)c20 singolo riva dx 3)c15 singolo riva sx + 4)c10 singolo riva sx 5)c13 singolo riva dx 6)c15 riva sx (cordino e maillon su nat) 7)c30 singolo riva sx 8)c20 singolo riva sx + 9)c8 singolo riva sx 10)c20 doppia su nat riva sx 11)c10 riva sx (cordino e maillon su nat) 12)c35 riva sx (cordino e maillon su nat) 13)c13 singolo riva dx 14)c35 singolo riva dx (molto fuori) + dev a -15 15)c15 singolo riva dx sequenza c85 16)c30 doppio riva dx (collegato) + dev a -5 17)c30 singolo riva dx 18)c25 singolo riva dx 19)c15 singolo riva dx 20)c20 doppia su nat riva dx (passa 2/3 risalti) 21)c20 singolo riva dx 22)c30 doppio (scollegato) riva sx (cascata coda di cavallo) 23)toboga 6m non armato 24)c6 riva sx (cordino e maillons su nat) uscita su comodo sentiero in riva sx in corrispondenza di una captazione.

Val di Gromo/Bedolina : Canyon Start
Approach: Park and take the path that, after crossing the village, climbs in a westerly direction. When you reach the first crossroads, turn right. Here the path begins to climb up the hillside until you reach another crossroads. Keep right and continue to enter the valley along the hillside until you reach the ford (altitude 1225m).
Tour: First single abseil on the right bank after about 30 meters of branches-battle. Note: The section of rappel 80 (on the right bank) is in a truly almost impossible spot to reach (I really don't know how the first of us managed to place the anchor up there). Plan to bring a drill and rigging material to completely change the abseil and section it on the left bank in an easier-to-reach spot. The above-mentioned abseil isn't the only high one; there are others, for example, the one immediately above this one, which is a section 70 split at -30° with a section in a suspended basin (note: there's a handrail here to reach a more exposed spot). On this abseil, it would be advisable to place a second section where the waterfall's gradient changes, or at least a diverter to eliminate/reduce rope drag on the rock where the gradient changes, as there's a very dangerous blade there.

Approach: The place was already known as the "cravasco lakes", but going much further upstream from the aforementioned lakes at an altitude of 780 m where the wide approach mule track intersects the stream, I discovered the beginning of what can effectively be defined as a gorge, where the walls narrow and the water flows deep, creating waterfalls up to 20 meters high and small lakes (some diveable).

Trobiolo di Pisogne: Canyon Start
Approach: Walk uphill along the road to Terzana; after about 150 m, and after a hairpin bend on the right, follow a private road (blue sign: “Pisogne loc. Giacche”) that leads to a house. Shortly before the house, go down to the right across the meadow to reach the streambed – 10 m (the owners are friendly; ask for permission).
Tour: A series of downclimbs and a small, pleasant jumpable pool lead to the first rappel, 24 m, the highest drop, anchored on the left with a handline for the approach. To ease rope retrieval, when facing the waterfall move to the right. Shortly after the first waterfall there is a small water barrier. Immediately below are escape routes: on river right a trail leading back to the upper car; on river left a tunnel leading to trail 209 via Via Miniere. Continuing: 2 – anchor on the left for a 4 m step 3 – anchor left for a 10 m drop We reach the second vertical between two beautiful rock walls 4 – about 21 m, anchor left with handline 5 – anchor right to pass two small drops Then the last major vertical, about 20 m, with anchor and handline on the left. Before the waterfall on the left, there is a possible escape route to trail 209. From the waterfall, you can see the rock bend marking the end of the gorge. After descending, two rings allow a safe reach to the streambed (anchors 7 and 8 on the right). Escape routes: after the first rappel and the water intake on the orographic right, take the path that climbs back to the parking area or the tunnel on the left that leads to trail 209. Before the sixth vertical rappel of about 20 m, on the orographic left, you can also reach trail 209. Anchors: stainless steel bolts 10x100 mm.

Access: reach Pisogne and park on Via Martiri delle Foibe at the intersection with Via delle Miniere, next to the bridge over the Trobiolo, where there are some free parking spaces. Leave a car here for the return, then drive up toward the locality of Terzana. After passing the hamlet of Pressò, park on the right in a small grassy turnout, just before a water intake with a fountain on the left (2.4 km).

Poja d'Arno: Canyon Start
Comment: Beginnen Sie am Fuß des Staudamms
Approach: you go up until you reach the dam of Lake Arno and you access the base
Tour: The descent continues down an increasingly steep valley where, after the initial slabs and toboggans, you enter the more deeply incised central section. A quick succession of rappels leads to a 50 m drop (C50) at a bend in the gorge. From the base of the 35 m drop (C35), a boulder-hopping/scrambling section begins (about 20 minutes), leading to the final sequence: three rappels up to 20 m that reach the second, spectacular C50. At its base there is a nice 9 m jumpable pool (C9) followed by the last toboggans before exiting on the left shortly before the old power plant.
