Summary:
Jumps, slides, and little rope use
Access:
From Sordevolo, head toward the hamlet of Prera and park just before the houses, near a bridge with a few parking spots.
Approach (20 min):
Continue on foot along the uphill road until you find, on the left, a trail that follows an irrigation channel. Follow it for about 15 minutes to its end, where it meets the Elvo stream (there’s a trail with canyoning signs on the left).
Tour (2 h 30):
From the end of the trail, descend toward the stream where you’ll find the first 4 m drop with an anchor point. Continue through a small tunnel with a slide and another 4 m jump. Proceed easily until you reach a wooden bridge; a few meters further, you’ll find the first large slab. A sequence of easy slides leads to a 7 m toboggan (anchor on the right), which takes you to the second large slab. At the end of the pool there’s a 6 m jump, difficulty A4. Continue easily for about 50 m, then climb up to the left (fixed ropes) to reach the smooth slab with another small 2 m jump. Here the stream narrows into a gorge, and the most enjoyable option is to follow the via ferrata for about 200 m to the large slab, where you can abseil 10 m or jump (A4). Continue in the water and climb left for a 5 m jump. The final 4 m jump leads to the exit on the left; continue easily until the pool where the Janca stream flows in from the right.
Return (20 min):
To return to the car, follow the via ferrata path that runs along the left side of the stream for 10 minutes, then find a small steep trail on the left (yellow sign marked via di fuga). From there, it’s about 15 minutes back to the car.

Canyon breve e facile ma con un bella forra e acqua cristallina, si può abbinare con la ferrata e dalla ferrata si raggiungono alcuni tuffi
Short and easy canyon but with a beautiful gorge and crystal clear water, it can be combined with ferrata and from the ferrata you can reach some dives
