Summary: machine translated ➜

Very vertical canyon, high rappel with intermediate stands.

Access: machine translated ➜

On leaving Biasca, turn left in the direction of Osogna under the railroad tracks. Turn left there and leave the car after approx. 300 m. From here, there is a small path on the right towards the stream and the water level checkpoint. Move after checking the water level. Take the approach road back through Biasca towards the train station. At the traffic circle after the station, head east towards the church of San Carlo and park the second car here.

Approach (1 h): machine translated ➜

From the church, follow the hairpin bends uphill to the Santa Peronilla chapel. Shortly before the chapel, you cross the Ri della Froda. Follow the path slightly uphill towards Motta until you reach the Aldirei/Canyon Start waypoint. The canyon begins about 100m after the houses of Aldirèi at the bridge over the stream.

Tour (3 h): machine translated ➜

The tour consists of several small and three large rappels, all with intermediate stands built in the water. Good rope technique is required. Pure rappel canyon. Very little water in summer // stagnant pools.

Return (10 min): machine translated ➜

After the third large waterfall another small R15, then follow the pledge on the left side of the stream to the road where the car is parked.

Automatisch importiert von Schlucht.ch für Canyon Aldiréi inferiore, Wasserstand: "Hoch" Verankerungen: "Schlecht" Bei der aktuellen Wassermenge werden viele lose Steine über die beiden C30 geführt. Daher und auf Grund dessen, dass beim letzten C30 der Hacken entfernt wurde (Verankerung an Baum links möglich), sind wir nach dem C8RD links ausgestiegen. Es führt ein gut sichtbarer Weg direkt zur Aufstiegsroute. (Quelle: https://schlucht.ch/?view=article&id=1111&Itemid=203)

Wonderful verticality! Best to take 2x100m ropes with you to skip intermediate stands. Beautiful access. Best done when there is too much water everywhere else.

There was good water flow from below, ... a good time to go through here We roped through the first and third longer ledges. On the second we used the intermediate belay after about 30m. Stands so far ok, the unused intermediate stands we could only judge visually. A good choice today
