Wasserstand: für die Wasserstands-Kontrolle vom Parkplatz aus ca. 20 Minuten flussaufwärts gehen, bis man zu einem Zusammenfluss kommt.
Weiterer Zustieg: mittig zwischen den beiden zusammenkommenden Flüssen einem schwer sichtbaren Steig nach oben bis zu den jeweiligen Höhenlinien folgen (Einstieg "Les Haut": ca. 1300m, "Superiore": ca. 1050m, "Intermedio": ca. 900m und "Inferiore": ca. 800m). "Les Haut" ist der einzige Einstieg, welchen man gehend erreicht. Bei allen anderen Einstiegen muss man sich ins Bachbett abseilen.
Zustieg je nach Einstiegshöhe: 2-4h
Water level: to check the water level, walk upstream from the parking lot for about 20 minutes until you reach a confluence.
Further access: in the middle between the two converging rivers, follow a path that is difficult to see up to the respective contour lines (entry "Les Haut": approx. 1300m, "Superiore": approx. 1050m, "Intermedio": approx. 900m and "Inferiore": approx. 800m). "Les Haut" is the only entry that can be reached on foot. For all other entries, you have to rappel into the streambed.
Access depending on the access height: 2-4h

Zustieg sehr schwer zu finden (alle paar Meter hängen pinke Schleifen an den Bäumen - diesen entlang gehen). Sehr wenige Notausstiege. Beeindruckende Schlucht! Das "Ende" des Canyons war ebenfalls schwer zu finden, daher sind wir einfach dem Bachbett bis zum Parkplatz gefolgt.
Access very difficult to find (pink loops hanging from the trees every few meters - walk along them). Very few emergency exits. Impressive canyon! The "exit" of the canyon was also hard to find, so we just followed the streambed to the parking lot.
