Summary:
Varied canyon with many pools and an high pitch.
Access:
From Lecco take the road for Valsassina up to Ballabio and than to Introbio. At the entry of the town park on the big park parking next to the bridge of Acquaduro.
Approach (1 h 25):
Cross the bridge and keep the right, following the road and the white-red path marking, always following the indications for Rifugio Buzzoni. One main deviation during the path (keep the rigth) and a couple of crossings with the forest road, after the second one (when encountering the big black metal water pipe) just follow it up to the houses Baite Serra where the path leads directly into the streambed.
Tour (4 h):
The canyon begins with many small slides, then bigger pitches leading to the C47.
After the wood pedestrian bridge (entry of commercial part) many slides and smaller rappels and some jumps.
Return (15 min):
Once the last rocky part ends the streambed opens and it can be followed until a trail becomes visible on the right bank, more evident after a flood barrier and leading directly on the last part of the approach road that can be followed down to the bridge and the parking.
