Summary:
Very aquatic canyon with fun potential.
Access:
From Lavorgo in the direction of Chrionico, turn off into the "Valle dei Chironico" in the direction of "Rive". Park the car at the exit of the road.
Approach (5 min):
From the car directly to the stream in just a few minutes.
Tour (2 h):
Short tour with an extremely large amount of water and a "catapult slide" with a considerable kicker. Despite the short length of the tour, great caution is required due to the large amount of water. The canyon is just half a meter wide at its narrowest point in this part. C5/T5 (1 right) MC1 (1 left) C25 (2 left) C15 (2 left) R12 (2 right) R15 (right/central) C18 (2 right) C10 (1 right)
Return (20 min):
Orographically left out of the stream after approx. 300m left up to the road, on the road back to the car.
