Summary:
Remarkable canyon, aesthetic and aquatic, with 61 rappels and 145 anchors for the full descent. Rope enthusiasts will be delighted. The descent is not very playful, but it is nonetheless of great beauty.
Access:
Lower Access: From Domodossola on the orographic left bank road above Torr. Bogna up to Cisore (about 3 km from the center of Domodossola). At the road junction turn left to the large square with wooden huts and garbage (2006). Park here. Upper Access: From Domodossola, take the national road towards Simplon; at Preglia, turn left then right onto a road that passes under the railway line towards Bosco. Continue towards Alpe Fuori, park the vehicle before the track closed to traffic.
Approach (3 h):
Walk up to the alpine pasture. Below Alpe Fuori, pass between the two houses on the far left to find a faint downhill trail that branches off to the right along the mountainside to quickly reach the canyon. Elevation gain: approx. +1060 m.
Tour (7 h):
An enjoyable river progression, interspersed with rappels and a few slides, leads to the start of the narrow gorge section which continuous uninterrupted until the end. Rappels follow one another, the rock is deeply sculpted, and numerous pools enhance the route.
Return (30 min):
After the 20 m twisted waterfall-slide, two steps and a 9 m waterfall bring you to an altitude of 690 m, where a trail starts on the right bank heading towards Cisore.
