Sehr schöner alpiner Tessiner Canyon mit gewaltigen Pools, welche man in dieser Höhenlage nicht vermutet. Teilweise enge Schlucht mit viel Wasser.
A very beautiful alpine canyon in Ticino with massive pools—the kind you wouldn’t expect to find at this altitude. A narrow canyon in places with plenty of water.
