Summary: machine translated ➜

Alpine tour with lots of water flow and some slides.

Access: machine translated ➜

From Biasca follow the A2 towards Gotthard and take the first exit again. From there, continue on Via S. Gottardo until shortly before Lavorgo, where you turn off towards Chironico. Follow the road to Grumo until you reach the bridge over the Va d'Usèdi. Park your car here.

Approach (45 min): machine translated ➜

Two paths branch off near the bridge, one to the river, one uphill. We choose the uphill path. We follow this up to 890 m altitude. Follow the path that crosses into the valley. No further uphill. This junction is difficult to recognize. Follow the path to the landslide. Enter the stream here.

Tour (4 h): machine translated ➜

11 watery rappels that can be very challenging at medium to high water levels. There are several small slides. The rappels are interrupted by running sections.

Return (5 min): machine translated ➜

Before the bridge orogarphically right out of the stream you are directly at the car.

There is medium to high water flow today. Some anchors require attention, including one loose single expansion bolt and one glue-in bolt that is flat. It’s a great canyon for capturing beautiful photos.

Automatisch importiert von Schlucht.ch für Canyon Valle d'Usèdi, Wasserstand: "sportlich" Verankerungen: "ok" an besagten Baum zum abseilen ist inzwischen eine Bandschlinge mit Maillonglied. Vom Hochwasser im Frühsommer sind viele neue Bäume in der Schlucht. Schlucht im Moment sehr rutschig. Sehr schöne, abenteuerliche Schlucht (Quelle: https://schlucht.ch/schluchten-der-schweiz-liste/1203-valle-d-usedi)
