Nach dem Grande sup. noch den inf. gemacht. Schöne Kombination. Tolle Warmwasserquelle am rechten Fusse des 3. Abseilers.

After the superiore, I did the inferiore as well. Nice combination. Great hot spring at the right foot of the third rappel.

Sehr spezieller Canyon, wo man auf dem Hinweg an einer Blöterliwasserquelle vorbeiläuft und am Schluss nach dem 45m Abseiler in warmen Quellen baden kann. Wir haben die kurze, schöne Canyonvariante gemacht, die von den einheimischen Canyonisten empfohlen wird.

A very unique canyon where you pass a Blöterli water spring on the way there and can bathe in warm springs at the end after a 45-meter rappel. We did the short, beautiful canyon route recommended by local canyoners.

Schöner Bach mit vielen möglichen auszusteigen, der Weg hoch ist auch entspannt wenn auch steil

A beautiful stream with plenty of places to get out; the trail up is also easygoing, even though it's steep.

Schöner Canyon in Riva, sehr lohnend eigentlich ein muss wenn man am See ist. Gerade der letzte abseiler ist sehr cool

A beautiful canyon in Riva—it's really worth the trip; actually, it's a must-see if you're at the lake. The last rappel in particular is really cool.

Indeed, it’s a great, physical full-day outing. It took us about 2 hours to hike up and around 4.5 hours to descend the canyon, with a long succession of rappels. There are some really interesting geological features along the way, but overall the canyon is long and gets quite technical in places. You definitely shouldn’t enter this canyon if the water level isn’t suitable. It is absolutely not equipped to allow you to stay out of the main flow or bypass the active watercourse, so conditions really matter. That said, it’s a great canyon to tick off the list — a proper day out and a rewarding one to have under your belt.

Although all the valves feeding Bodengo were open, all three sections are still doable. The water level is definitely quite high. The first two sections go well, without too many significant hazards. In the third section, the flow increases a little further, but everything can still be descended cleanly. There are a few spots with strong water movements where the current pushes hard against the rock/wall, particularly at the 25 m slide. Despite the strong flow, the slide goes well. That said, these conditions require caution. You need to be experienced with strong water movements, have good water-reading skills and solid canyoning experience before entering the canyon at this level. A special thanks to Pascal Van Duin for his friendly experience sharing and his help in our canyon trip! Cheers mate!

Wunderschöne Schlucht mit tollen Stellen, wir waren von der Kirche bis Ausstieg zu viert ca 4 Stunden am Weg. Die Stimmung war am Ende nur ein bisschen getrübt, da tatsächlich bei uns im Auto eingebrochen wurde, also aufpassen!

A beautiful canyon with some great spots; the four of us spent about 4 hours on the trail from the church to the exit. Our mood was just a little dampened at the exit because someone actually broke into our car, so be careful!

Der untere (kommerzielle) Teil lohnt sich auch. Vom Parkplatz den Wanderweg hinauf und nach den Serpentinen bei einem Baum mit blauen Punkt und Steinmännchen, rechts einen Seitenbach querend, auf gut sichtbarem Pfad zum Fluss. Man befindet sich dann oberhalb des besagten Klemmblocks (20 - 30 Minuten).

The lower (commercial) section is also worth the trip. From the parking lot, follow the hiking trail uphill; after the switchbacks, look for a tree marked with a blue dot and a cairn, then cross a side stream to the right and follow the clearly visible path down to the river. You’ll then find yourself above the aforementioned clamping block (20–30 minutes).

Wir sind da, wo die geführten Gruppen starten, eingestiegen. Wir sind aber erst bei der kleinen Steinbrücke (später als die geführten Gruppen) ausgestiegen. Nette Dschungeltour, inmitten einer Touristenattraktion.

We got on the boat where the guided groups start. But we didn't get off until we reached the small stone bridge (later than the guided groups). A nice jungle tour, right in the middle of a tourist attraction.

The scenery and location are insane and add a star. The beautiful pools after the source comes in, at this altitude, another star. Second team today, started approach after midday & back by 17:00. As Roland mentions the canyon is re-equipped, but semi-amateuristically (washers placed behind the anchors systematically, mix of metals, cracked rock, a few pictures for reference). Some old hooks are now obsolete, climbers must have come here long time ago. In the lower part a mini via ferrata allows to varry in the descent.

Sind auf ca. 2200m eingestiegen. Schöne und gut eingerichtete Abseilstellen mit max 20m. Nach der offenen Passage haben wir im unteren Bereich drei neue Haken gesetzt. Etwas rutschig aber schöne alpine Tour.

We started the climb at about 2,200 meters. Beautiful and well-equipped rappelling points with a maximum length of 20 meters. After the exposed section, we placed three new anchors in the lower section. A bit slippery but a beautiful alpine route.
