Long alpine rappel canyon for lovers of high vertical.

Access: machine translated ➜

From Ajaccio on the T20/N193 direction Bastia. 12.2 km after the traffic circle at Ajaccio Airport, where the T20 and the T40 fork, we come to the junction of the D229 just before the bridge over the Ruisseau de Carazzi. Here we park the car for the exit.\nWith the second car we continue on the T20 for about 2.3 km and then turn left to go up to Tacavo. At the exit of the village we park the car (see Google maps approach and conversion in the "Photo Gallery").

Approach (2 h 45): machine translated ➜

We take the marked path (first blue, later red) that follows the San Eliseo signpost. We climb up to the IGN point "1102"/"U Pinellu". There we leave the path and hike downhill along the ridge in a southerly direction in the full maquis. Just before reaching the altitude "909" we can descend to the right and walk in or along the edge of the stream in about 25 minutes to the entry just before the narrows. Alternatively, you can continue along the ridge towards Punta di Propulanu. Before reaching it, turn SW towards the stream and reach it just before the narrows.

Tour (6 h): machine translated ➜

After a "run-up" with 2 small rappels, the C70 (10/60) awaits us. This is followed by the C74 with 2 intermediate stands in a passage between blocks. Another 5-7 rappels follow (usually from trees). In between also longer stretches of walking & descending. Finally, the Ruisseau de Carazzi flows in from the right (about 300m old.). About 15 min further we can exit to the left on a path (slightly above a ruin) and before the C17.

Return (40 min): machine translated ➜

At the beginning a bit unclear, the path becomes increasingly better in the course of the descent on the left side of the stream and leads us to a gravel quarry area. Here we take to the right the bridge over the Carazzi and thus quickly get to the car,

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Val Famita Équipement refait l’an dernier donc OK. Par contre prévoir des cordassons afin de changer les amarrages en place sur les arbres qui ne sont pas beau. Et un sanglier en décomposition au niveau de la confluence avec Carazzi. Marche d’approche toujours aussi aléatoire et galère dans le maquis. ???? (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/21206/observations.html)
