Nissod is a beautiful canyon in the Aosta Valley near Saint-Vincent. Nothing particularly spectacular, there are no slides and no jumps. Scenic and beautiful with some worthwhile abseils. Especially recommended after rain when the Nissod is carrying water. The anchor points are unfortunately a little far from the waterline. Video of the tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIPnrFcpnT8
