Friendly canyon, south-facing, with beautiful rappels and possible jumps, long approach

Access: machine translated ➜

From Figueres on the Perpgnan - Barcelona highway, we take the N 260 in a westerly direction and after around 22.5 km we pass the interesting town of Besalu and continue on the A-26 for another 10.5 km. Then - exit no. "75", "Montagut" - we turn right onto the GIV-5233. After 2 km we drive through the village of Montagut and turn left at the end of the village onto the GIV-5231 in the direction of Sadernes. 2 km further on we pass the entrance to the comfortable Montagut campsite and after another 3.8 km we come to the hamlet of Sadernes (also with camping facilities). It is no longer permitted to continue from here. So we walk (also possible by bike) on a dirt road that first heads west and then north uphill along the small river. 2.7 km after Sadernes we come to a junction.

Approach (2 h 15): machine translated ➜

A few steps before the fork, take the forest path that leads down to the streambed of the Riera de Sant Aniol. We follow the path, cross the stream and after 1.6 km from the junction we reach a large meadow. Here the path bends to the left away from the stream. However, we continue to follow the stream and after about 160 m we come to a small weir. Here, either on its crest or slightly below on the opposite bank. Continue north along a path in the valley. As the path continues, we cross the stream three times and finally reach the former monastery of St. Aniol d'Aguja. Continue in a north-easterly direction, first crossing the Riera de Sant Aniol again, then up the slope on the other side on a clear path. On a hilltop - Coll de Clarioles, approx. 555m above sea level - the path branches off. To the right would be the entry to the canal, but we head northwards up an increasingly steep slope. Views of the canyon open up. At a fork, we ignore the path that descends slightly to the left. Eventually we reach the top and head west towards the stream. When we reach it not far above the start of the gorge, we have chosen the optimal route.

Tour (2 h 30): machine translated ➜

At the beginning, entertaining rappels and possible jumps. Then the first higher step, the "Gran Collada". This is followed by a part with smaller steps, which exits at the "Salt de la Capa". After another running section, the final chord with the "Salt de Brull".

Return (1 h 10): machine translated ➜

After a final jump into a wide pool, turn right and follow the path to the church. From here, take the approach path back to the car.

Du coup, il faut un peu chercher quand même les ancrages et les passages de désescalade.Pour l'approche, si on se fie uniquement au topo, je défie quiconque d'arriver au bout! Mieux vaut préparer en amont le parcours sur une carte et savoir où on va. ???? (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/2574/observations.html)

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Sant Aniol d'Aguja Magnifique, depuis le temps !! pas beaucoup d'eau mais tout passe bien. Le premier saut bien bien amortir, l'arrive sur la grande verticale c'est magique, les vasques à la fin, les grottes cachées de tuf qui permettes de se cacher sous le rideau à pleins d'endroits, l'eau est bleu turquoise.. Après, le parking, le système etc, c'est un peu mission. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/2574/observations.html)
