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.

Comment: Großer Parkplatz bei Restaurant Edelweiss
Access: From Sondrio head north towards Chiesa in Valmalenco. Pass this village, which is on the other side of the river, and immediately after crossing the stream coming from the east, turn right towards Lanzada, Tornadri. After these places continue and climb steeply in many switchbacks. After passing through a few tunnels, we reach a large parking lot near the Edelweiss Restaurant. Parking entry: on the right on a narrow asphalt road uphill in the direction of Campo Moro. Either park at the large parking lot for hikers or at the first houses turn left downhill on a gravel road to a small parking lot below the dam wall. From there, cross the 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.

2025-07-15: Quite a lot of jumping and slides, but also a lot of downclimbing blocks. I like the 1 and 2 more. Water level picture attached from the bridge at the entry.
Approach: 10min by car/ approx.1,5h on foot. From the gravel parking place at 820Hm follow the road for about 50m to the no motoring sign. Then follow the steep hiking trail to the left down to the old Roman bridge. Still before the bridge, go right in the forest, down to the stream. This tributary (Pilotera) meets Bodengo after a few meters. Entry at about 730Hm under the Roman bridge. Alternative: If you have only 1 car, you leave the car at the bottom near the power station. On foot you reach the hiking trail on the right side of the power plant fence over a steep slope. After checking the water level at the reservoir (on the left), go back along the path (towards the village) until you reach the first house of Gordona. Here the path D6 (compass map) leaves to the left. Follow this path up to the road. Then continue along the road until 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.

2025-08-22: Current fun water level. The dead animal is still in the water (very bloated).
Approach: From the parking lot Dangri you go over the 2 stone bridges --> then you take the path on the right, which shortly thereafter divides --> here go up on the left to the abandoned village of Provego (940Hm) --> after the village you go over a bridge and continue up to the next houses of Pianezzola --> here follow the path above the houses to the right --> once you have left the houses behind you comes a large overgrown slope that at least offers a beautiful view of Lake Como -->at approx. 1030Hm the path clears --> follow the stone steps slightly downhill --> the path leads parallel to the canyon (entry/exit possibility) with small slopes up to the ruined mountain houses --> if you want to save the upper part (approx. 100Hm), you have a good possibility to descend over the meadow into the canyon at the big beech on the right side of the path (approx. 1200Hm) --> the actual entry is at 1300Hm after the houses.
Tour: The Bares is certainly one of the most beautiful and longest canyons on Lake Como --> due to the cut-off and the technically demanding sections as well as the cold water, only experienced canyoneers should enter this canyon --> the canyon has many short, demanding abseiling sections, whereby the pools are usually not visible --> jumps should also be enjoyed with caution --> without long walking passages, there is a constant change of narrow sections, clamping blocks and pools which can also be very turbulent --> in the middle of the canyon (approx. 900 m altitude difference) you will find an open section with a large rock slab on the right-hand side --> here there is a steep emergency exit (entrance).meters) you will find an open spot with a large rock slab on the right side, here there is a steep emergency exit (entry)--> if the water level in the upper part was already borderline, you should get out here, as the water level in the lower part is still rising due to several tributaries --> the 2nd half offers a unique gorge landscape with a large rock slab on the right side. The second half offers a unique gorge landscape with continuous successive rappels --> full concentration is required until the last rappel before you get out at the water drainage --> an additional mental burden to the seclusion is the permanent noise level that you leave behind you after the tour.

2025-08-22: Current fun water level. The dead animal is still in the water (very bloated).
Access: From the campsite Solarium in Domaso (in front of Garvedona) take the road to Garvedona --> at the beginning of the village turn right to Livo (steep asphalt road) --> in the village Livo turn left to Dangri --> from the cemetery drive 2.8km on a bad gravel road to the exit of the road (limited parking before the bridge) (650Hm). There is a new ticket machine on the left at the beginning of the village Livo. Price 3€, also card payment possible at the machine; you have to indicate your license plate number.
Return: From the water drainage descend right over the metal steps and follow the path --> after about 20min there is another water drainage --> pass it until you reach the starting point (Dangri) again after another 15-20min.
