5min From Barcis drive in the direction of Maniago. After the first tunnel turn right towards Andreis and at the exit turn left. After about 500m park on the right in the turnout before the bridge (right next to the Alba/ artificial step).

Approach (15 min): machine translated ➜

15min From the parking lot (turnout) follow the road next to Torrente Alba in the direction of flow through the tunnel. After the tunnel, at the bridge in front of the iron gate ("Osteria Ponte Molassa"), you can already see the place where Molassa and Alba meet from above. After checking the water level, continue towards the small village of Molassa, which you will reach in a short time. Before reaching the houses, at the small bridge, go up through a small tributary stream to the short Molassa gorge. Entry at about 380m.

Tour (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

ca 1,5h Worthwhile short hiking, swimming canyon with some up and downclimb in very nicely polished limestone. During our walk through the two canyons we started in the Molassa, which after a short time flows into the Torrente Alba. At the confluence you can immediately left the Torrente Alba upstream climb or you descend the Torrente Alba even further to the confluence with the Torrente Cellina. Attention! From here on you should not continue walking or swimming, unless you want to swim through the Torrente Cellina to the dam (shuttle car necessary). At this point it is best to turn around and go back along the Torrente Alba to the artificial step where the car is.
