Approach: From the hikers' parking lot, take a path to the gravel road and follow it to the parking lot at the dam wall. From the parking lot, descend orographic left on a clear path under the dam. After about 3min the path reaches the streambed filled with giant boulders. Entry at a flood warning sign and an orange reflector on a tree.
Tour: Downclimb under the first blocks to the first 13m rappel, then rappel from the right under wedged blocks 25m, 12m and 7m. From here 3 rappels in complete darkness before it goes again briefly into the light. A siphon must be climbed around in a twisted and small way above until you reach the stream again above a 22m rappel point. Another 4 rappels, partly in the dark again, lead to the highest waterfall of the tour: 27m down through a rock gate. Here is the only escape route of the tour to the left. Also here is an orange reflector on a tree. A side stream brings at least double the water, if you have already had problems in the first part you should not continue. The second part starts at the path of the emergency exit and is again marked with an orange reflector. You climb back into the blocked streambed and follow the water as much as possible through obscure block climbing before it gets dark for a longer time. 9 abseils in beautifully washed out serpentine follow, at the 18m waterfall be sure to watch out for the hanging basin on the left - at high water levels it is very difficult to get out of there again. You can avoid the basin but orographic left. The gorge ends in block chaos, better downclimb near the stream to the bridge, above the blocks the rock is overgrown and very slippery. About an old wooden ladder (at red / white trail marking on block in the streambed) you can already leave the streambed before right.

Access: ATTENTION: The access road is currently closed due to a rockslide (cleanup work is expected to last until the end of 2026)! However, shuttle buses will take you up for free. Park your car here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/u58J2Pb9GykBab9Z6?g_st=ac Then it’s a 20–30-minute walk to the shuttle bus parking lot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Wqi2UvEQCcSs2Vc59?g_st=ac (There are 3–4 minibuses, each seating 8 people, running continuously from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., approximately every 40 minutes) From Sondrio, head north toward Chiesa in Valmalenco. Pass through this village, which lies on the other side of the river, and immediately after crossing the stream coming from the east, turn right toward Lanzada and Tornadri. Continue past these villages and climb steeply up a series of hairpin turns. After passing through several tunnels, you’ll reach a large parking lot near the Edelweiss Restaurant. Parking entry: Turn right onto a narrow paved road heading uphill toward Campo Moro. Either park at the large hiking parking lot or, at the first houses, turn left downhill onto a gravel road leading to a small parking lot below the dam. Head down via Cormor to Franscia and park near the bridge over the Laterna.
Return: Cross the bridge and follow the red/white marked path on the right bank to the lower parking lot.

Approach: We now follow the path on foot to the mountain huts of Motto dei Damini. This initially heads NNW, then turns SW and finally heads towards the Mengasca valley. From the Motto dei Damini mountain huts (670m a.s.l.), continue along the trail, climbing slightly to the SSW (black plastic pipe in the ground) until you reach the next stream cut. 20m further on - path now on the edge of the slope - down to the right, always following the red markings into the streambed. If you do not have a second vehicle available for this conversion, you can also climb up the orographic right-hand slope of the Mengasca. The initial path loses itself in the forest and we ascend without a path until we reach the path to Alpe Motto dei Damini. Turn right here and continue as described above (access from below approx. 2 hours).
Tour: A sequence of beautiful abseils, interrupted by short walks and downclimbs. The C 55 in the wide beam is impressive. However, this can also be rappelled approx. 10m around the corner (cross rappel), then there are still 46m to go.

Bodengo III (Boggia III): Canyon Start
2026-07-25: Water flow is low for this time of year; I've never seen it this slippery. Everything's fine, except for the anchor you need to climb up to avoid the narrowing section (see the photo)—so be really car...
2026-07-25: The anchor for climbing straight up the fixed rope—at the spot where you go around the stream across the plateau—is very loose; otherwise, everything's great!
2026-06-28: Everything's fine. We're at 500 hm, heading left onto the hiking trail (old dynamic fixed rope).
Approach: 10 min by car / approx. 1.5 hours on foot From the gravel parking place at 820 Hm, follow the road for about 50 m to the “No Motor Vehicles” sign. Then continue left down the steep hiking trail toward the old Roman bridge. About 20 meters before the bridge, turn right into the woods and head down to the stream. This tributary (Pilotera) joins the Bodengo after a few meters; this is the entry (approx. 730 meters above sea level). Alternative: If you only have one car, park it down below near the power plant. On foot, you can reach the hiking trail by going up the steep embankment on the right side of the power plant fence. After checking the water level (on the left) at the reservoir, walk back along the path (toward the village) and continue until you reach the first house in Gordona. Here, the D6 hiking trail (Kompass map) branches off to the left. Follow this trail up to the road. Then continue along the road to the gravel parking place on the left at 820Hm
Tour: Near the beautiful old Roman bridge at an altitude of approx. 750 m, we start right away with a rappel into one of the countless pools of great depth. The canyon is sufficiently well equipped for an ascent, but you should still take emergency equipment with you. At most of the abseiling points that run directly into the water, rope traverses or alternative routes have been set up. Rope retrival is not always easy due to the clamping blocks and cracks in the rock (risk of rope jamming!). The bolts are often exposed due to the huge amounts of water. Many steps/abseils can be jumped or slid. However, the pools should be well scouted out beforehand! (Many accidents occur when jumping/sliding. See Facebook page of Pascal van Duin, "Canyoning val Bodengo"). The only drawback of this grandiose and unique canyon are the long granite block climbs between the beautiful passages. The path often has to be scouted in the blocked terrain. The highest abseils are in the last third of the canyon, where you come across reddish rock (there is also an emergency exit here). At the last abseil points, you will encounter 1 obvious water drainage on the left side with a narrow grid in front of it (possibly suction effect). In my opinion, safe even at higher water levels. ! Only the current from the waterfall will push more in this direction. If you want, you can also get out here via a ladder set up for maintenance work. The 2nd drainage is located, not obviously, on the right at the exit of the water basin, under water. The last 40m abseil point is right after the pool/cement wall. The rappel can also be divided (possibly 30m rappel + jump right down from the ledge). Then there is a small step and a 5m jump into the final pool at approx. 250m.

You can purchase the ticket online in advance here: https://valbodengo.shop/ Take the SS36 from Lecco toward Chiavenna. Just before Chiavenna, drive into the village of Gordona until you reach the church. Then turn right at the church and drive up a short hill. At the fork, turn left, then take the sharp right-hand bend (at the fork) and drive up the hill. At the next fork, turn left uphill. Follow the road (toward Pra Prince). After a few meters of elevation gain and some bends, you’ll see a gravel parking place on the left at approximately 820 meters elevation, just before a sharp right bend; park here. After about 50 meters, you’ll see a “No Motorcycles” sign (on the left) with trail signs for “Mulattiera per Bodengo” and “Strada Carrozzabile per Bodengo.”
Return: If you get out on the left side of the last set of pools, you'll be right in front of the exit parking lot.

Approach: Given the total duration, it’s recommended to set out from the Dangri parking lot before 8 a.m. in the summer. From the Dangri parking lot, cross the two stone bridges --> then take the path to the right. which splits twice shortly afterward --> at the second fork, turn left and head up to the nearly deserted village of Provego (940 Hm) --> after the village, cross a bridge and continue uphill to the next houses in Pianezzola --> here, follow the trail to the right above the houses --> once you’ve left the houses behind, you’ll come to a large, overgrown slope that at least offers a beautiful view of Lake Como --> at about 1,030 Hm, the trail opens up --> Follow the stone steps slightly downhill --> The trail runs parallel to the canyon here (entry/exit point) with gentle inclines up to the dilapidated mountain huts --> If you want to save yourself the top section (approx. 100 Hm), the large beech tree on the right side of the trail (approx. 1200 Hm) offers a good spot to descend across the meadow into the canyon --> however, the actual entry is at 1300 Hm, past the houses.
Tour: Due to its remote location, technically challenging sections, and cold water, only experienced canyoneers should attempt this canyon. The canyon features many short, challenging rappelling sections, and the pools are usually not visible. Jumps should be approached with caution. With no long walking passages, the route consists of a constant succession of narrow passages, clamping blocks, and pools that can also be very turbulent. In the middle of the canyon (approx. 900 Hm), there is a steep emergency exit (entry) at an open spot with a large rock slab on the right-hand side. If the water volume in the upper section was borderline, you should exit here, as the water level in the lower section rises even further due to several tributaries. The second section offers a unique canyon landscape with a continuous succession of cliffs. Full concentration is required all the way to the last rappel before exiting at the water diversion. For some canyoners, the constant noise level—which you’re relieved to leave behind after the tour—is an additional mental strain. All in all, a perfect canyon.
