Two options, both bad. The orographic variant on the right goes up on a good hiking trail to the bolchetta haipin bends. From there, descend steeply to the streambed. Tricky, laborious. Variant two orographic left is described at https://canyon.li/riale-grande/ described

Quite slippery in places. We made the orographic access on the right via the bolchetta bend. From the bend downhill steep and pathless adventure. You could try the orographic access on the left at about 500 meters directly to the streambed. Above approx. 500m the stream is not very worthwhile canyoneering.

Surprisingly much water, but also very defensively placed anchors
