Access:
From State Road 28 coming from Ceva/Garessio, upon entering Ormea, turn right towards Albra. Continue on the narrow, winding road for 3.9 km until you reach a sharp bend on the right, where a wide, flat path branches off.
Approach (15 min):
From the park, continue along the flat path that gradually disappears, passing a tributary and a scree slope, at the end of which continue along tracks towards the stream, now clearly audible. You then reach a clearly visible CAI trail (Ormea Balcony Trail, white and red CAI markings) about ten meters above a footbridge over the stream. Climb the trail to the right along a couple of hairpin bends until you reach a barely visible pass, from here take the tracks to the right towards the stream. Following ancient dry stone walls and finally without any obvious trail, you reach the stream at the first abseil (a hazelnut scaffolding, on the right orographic side about 2 meters below).

Tour (35 min):

Return (10 min):
After the fifth descent and the following easy ridge you will find a path on the left that goes up (first it disappears then it reconnects and leads back to the asphalt road), or continue along the stream up to the bridge over the road (2.7km downstream from the car park upstream) for about 40 minutes without encountering any interesting canyoning parts.
