Summary:
Long descent at the border between Italy and Switzerland

Access:

Approach (10 min):

Tour (12 h):
The gorge winds continuously without major interruptions, deeply carved into the gneiss slabs with beautiful and at times technical sequences. It is extremely sustained, featuring many striking sections in an absolutely wild and severe environment. Physically demanding due to both its length and the presence of several technical rappels. More than just a descent, a true adventurous journey.
