Alle Sprünge gut machbar, Pools jeweils genug tief. Der erste Sprung kann wiederholt werden. Da die Schlucht sehr kurz ist und nur drei Sprünge beinhaltet, kann sie gut mit der Terepocki Creek verbunden werden.

All the jumps are easy to do, and the pools have enough depth. The first jump can be repeated. Since the canyon is very short and has only three jumps, it can easily be combined with Terepocki Creek.

Auch hier eher wenig Wasser in der Region, daher sehr gute Bedingungen. Alle Bolts vorhanden und i.o Aktuell etwas rutschig. Lohnenswerte Schlucht - kann gut mit dem Lost Creek verbunden werden.

There's not much water in the region here either, so conditions are very good. All bolts are present and in good condition. It's a bit slippery right now. A worthwhile canyon—can be easily combined with Lost Creek.

Wir sind die ganze Kobelache gegangen. Alles spring und rutschbar. Man muss jedoch vorsichtig sein mit den zugekiesten Becken. Das beschädigte Drahtseil am letzten Wasserfall wurde auch repariert und hat keine gefährlich rausstehenden Drähte mehr wo man sich die Finger aufreißen kann.Die vorletzte Rutsche ging auch gut, jedoch sollte man sich in der Mitte halten mit ggf. Seil zum Einstieg.

We hiked the entire Kobelache trail. Everything is jumpable and slideable. You do have to be careful, though, with the gravel-filled pools. The damaged wire rope at the last waterfall has also been repaired and no longer has any dangerous protruding wires that could cut your fingers.The second-to-last slide went well, too, but you should stay in the middle—using a rope for entry if necessary.

Armi ok, bellissimo canyon con poca acqua . Entrati da calata su sentiero alla dx della galleria A2A.

Gear's all set—a beautiful canyon with low water levels. We entered via a rappel onto the trail to the right of the A2A tunnel.

Alle verankerungen noch da. Etwas rutschig aber sonst schön wie immer.

All the anchors are still there. A little slippery, but otherwise as nice as ever.

Canyon spettacolare ..come morfologia e’ aperto e non troppo inforrato.. nella sua parte centrale e’ ludico.. con tuffi e mini-toboga e un po tecnico.. ha diversi mancorrenti. Nel complesso impegnativo 10 minuti di camminata per arrivare alla briglia) che si aggira a destra per sentiero, poi la camminata prosegue con una sequenza di toboga in zona aperta. segue una serie di calate, alcune con mancorrenti e svariati tuffi possibili fino a due grandi cascate, la prima con lungo mancorrente e frazionamento e possibile salto da terrazzino..occhio alla pozza che è turbolenta.. la seconda con calata a destra e tuffo possibile. Segue un tratto con acqua profonda che si evita a destra per sentiero (ometti)e calata che evita una pozza di 15 metri. Un ultimo inforramento con brevi discese di cui una con lungo mancorrente in pozza porta all' ultima cascata e al tratto finale di camminata. Eravamo in 5 e ci abbiamo messo 6 ore circa, con qualche piccolo infortunio :)

A spectacular canyon… in terms of its morphology, it’s open and not too steep… in its central section, it’s fun… with jumps and mini-slides and a bit technical… it has several handrails. Overall, it’s challenging 10-minute walk to reach the weir), which veers right along a trail; then the walk continues with a sequence of chutes in an open area. This is followed by a series of rappels, some with handrails, and several possible dives leading up to two large waterfalls; the first has a long handrail, a split route, and a possible jump from a small ledge… watch out for the turbulent pool… the second has a rappel to the right and a possible dive. Next comes a section with deep water that you can avoid by taking the trail to the right (marked by cairns) and a descent that bypasses a 15-meter pool. A final stretch with short descents—one of which features a long handrail leading into a pool—leads to the last waterfall and the final stretch of the hike. There were five of us, and it took us about 6 hours, with a few minor injuries :)

Sehr schöne Schlucht, Stände alle in Ordnung. Sind bei 3. letzte Abseile ausgestiegen wegen steigende Wasser und Steinschlag im Wasserlauf

A very beautiful canyon; all sections were in good condition. We turned back during the third-to-last rappel due to rising water levels and rockfall in the stream.

Heute ziemlich gute Bedingungen angetroffen. Leider sind die im Internet gelisteten Informationen über diese Schlucht nicht korrekt. Nach einem Sprung sowie einem Abseiler wurden wir durch die Ranger aufgefordert, die Schlucht sofort zu verlassen. Eine Begehung der Schlucht, egal in welcher Art auch immer (auch das Klippenspringen) ist strengstens verboten. Schade, den diese Schlucht hat echt Potenzial ;-)

We found the conditions to be pretty good today. Unfortunately, the information listed online about this canyon is incorrect. After one jump and one rappel, the rangers told us to leave the canyon immediately. Exploring the canyon in any way whatsoever (including cliff jumping) is strictly prohibited. Too bad, because this canyon really has potential ;-)

Der Wasserstand war für den Pontirone eher niedrig, die Wassertemperatur angenehm erfrischend aber eigentlich auch zu Hoch. Alle Haken sind i.O. Die Sprünge und Rutschen sind machbar. Der unterste Teil der Schlucht ist kaum rutschig. Zwischen der Stelle zum abklettern, dort wo man üblicherweise unter der Wasserstrahl durchgeht und dem „Run n‘ Jump“ liegt ein Baumstamm drin.

The water level was on the low side for the Pontirone, and the water temperature was pleasantly refreshing—though actually a bit too high. All the anchors are in good condition. The jumps and slides are doable. The lowest part of the canyon is hardly slippery at all. Between the spot where you downclimb—where you usually pass under the water jet—and the “Run n’ Jump,” there’s a tree trunk lying across the path.

Wir sind nicht Pontirone sup. sondern Pontirone med. gegangen. Zustieg ab dem Parkplatz am Ende von Pontirone inf. über die Alpe Piena. Hoch bis zum Waldrand. Dort gibt es eine kleine Sitzbank und einen Wegweiser zum Dorf Pontirone. Ab diesem Punkt ist der teilweise leicht ausgesetzte Weg gut zu finden, obschon er nur selten begangen wird. Benötigte Zeit für den Zustieg 70 Minuten. Ab der Wasserrinne, die als Zufluss zur Legiuna führt, beim Punkt 46.382494 9.002821 geht es mit mehreren kurzen Abseilern runter in die Schlucht. Der letzte Abseiler 70m ist mit einem Doppelhaken mit Kette gut gesichert. Bei einer Anseilstelle, ca. 7m haben wir keinen Bohrhaken gefunden und mussten improvisiert abseilen. Ich empfehle bei der nächsten Begehung über diesen Zustieg eine Bohrmaschine mitzunehmen. Ab dem Erreichen der Legiuna kann man der Schlucht Pontirone sup. ab dem mittleren Teil folgen. Der Wasserstand war für den Pontirone eher niedrig, die Wassertemperatur angenehm erfrischend aber eigentlich auch zu Hoch. Die braunfarbenen Steine in der Schlucht sind etwas rutschig. Alle Haken sind i.O. Die Sprünge und Rutschen sind machbar.

We didn’t take the Pontirone superiore route, but the Pontirone med. route. The access starts from the parking lot at the exit of Pontirone inferiore and goes up through Alpe Piena. We climbed up to the edge of the forest. There is a small bench there and a signpost pointing toward the village of Pontirone. From this point on, the trail—which is slightly exposed in places—is easy to follow, even though it is rarely used. The access took 70 minutes. From the water channel that flows into the Legiuna, at coordinates 46.382494 9.002821, the route descends into the canyon via several short rappels. The final 70-meter rappel is well secured with a double hook and chain. At one belay point, approximately 7 meters up, we couldn’t find any bolts and had to improvise the rappel. I recommend bringing a drill the next time you ascend via this access. Once you reach the Legiuna, you can follow the superiore section of the Pontirone Canyon starting from the middle part. The water level was rather low for the Pontirone; the water temperature was pleasantly refreshing but actually a bit too high. The brown rocks in the canyons are somewhat slippery. All the anchors are in good condition. The jumps and slides are manageable.

Only 3 single bolt during the entire descent, some natural anchor are mandatory, some down climb are difficult and slippery. There are a lot of log stucked in the upper part, the slide in the second to last pool is the only interesting part.
