We had a perfect water level. The flow was calm. The canyon itself involves a lot of walking, but it's not unpleasant. The natural surroundings make it a great trip with abseils into beautifully blue pools and wonderful walks through forests. Here and there, jumps can also be made, though technically it's not very challenging.

It was a good short trip, there was a normal waterflow, you probably don't want to go there if it's dry.

The canyon was okay. At the beginning, there was one spot where we would have liked to see a bolt, and in other areas, the bolts are placed in a way that creates a lot of friction. Further along, this improves, and the anchor points are in better condition. We didn’t use the shuttle. We had a bit of trouble finding the correct path out of the exit straight away, but once you're there, it's easy to navigate back to the car with a map.

We did this canyon because there was too much water in the Tailles. There are now also points halfway down the 100-meter waterfall. Nevertheless, bring an extensive kit to replace bolts. Also, bring a few slings to use around trees. With a few extra anchor points, the canyon becomes much more attractive. Glad to have done it and check it off the list, but it's not a trip I would choose to do again.

Nice canyon and relatively easy canyon. We went after heavy rainfall, so we had a perfect water level. A good water level makes the canyon much more attractive. Furthermore, there are a few narrow sections, and it’s basically in the middle of the forest, so it’s beautifully green. The anchors are in good condition. It is also a good canyon to use for rescue training.

Good canyon after a lot rain. We had a good flow. The hike to the start of the canyon is fairly easy, provided you read the description carefully. It is indeed steep, and after the rain, some spots can be quite slippery. The anchor points are good but are placed in such a way that you always experience a lot of friction. So, it's important to know how to handle this properly. Approach hike: 1 hour Canyon: 3.5 hours

Good trip, low water levels at the moment. We removed the dameged safty line.

Beautiful and easy canyon, with low water levels at the moment. Just before the last sections, there is a large tree lying in the canyon. You have to pass through the branches and leaves here. It would be nice to clear it up. Otherwise, you can get through it fairly quickly.

Nice canyon, low water, we parked at the top. Walked up after the canyon. Short but beautifull

There is medium to high water flow today. Some anchors require attention, including one loose single expansion bolt and one glue-in bolt that is flat. It’s a great canyon for capturing beautiful photos.

Better equipped than the upper neighbor. You also have to go through less water here. We moved quite quickly. After 45 minutes, we were at the end.

High water at the moment. Only the anchor of the first c70 was hard to reach, becease you need to cross the flow. After that all quite easy. The lower part was nice and sunny.

Good canyon after a day with a lot of rain, we made a few jumps and abseils. The anchor halfway down the high abseil near the bottom has a damaged anchor in the middle. One glue-in bolt has come loose. The other one is loose as well.We also did the last abseil. Stay directly to the left when looking for the path back. Once you find the path, it’s super clear.

Fun trip, lots of options for jumping and sliding, and in the afternoon, the canyon was nicely sunny. There wasn't much water today, but still enough to have a good time.

Thanks to Heli TV for dropping us off at the top of the canyon. We immediately entered the stream. This part was really fun. But after a few obstacles, all the water disappears at the intake. After that, the canyon is dry. Some pools smell bad, and there is one pool where climbing out is quite difficult. Other than that, the gorge is very beautiful. Upon reaching the lower section, there's some water again. This section is also nicely sunny in the afternoon. We took 8.5 hours to complete the route (Upper and lower section), with a team of 4 at a relaxed pace. We had two experienced people and two beginners.

Water levels are dropping fast after the heavy rain First photo after heavy rain around 19:00 on 05.09.2024 Second photo around 09:00 on 06.09.2024 It was a good trip.

Good short trip, water level is good at the moment. We did some nice jumps.

We did this trip in the late afternoon after heavy rain in the morning and afternoon. Good option if there is to much water in the other canyons.

Approach: 2:15h Descent: 6:30h Exit: 0:40h Beautiful canyon with obstacles that follow each other in quick succession. Currently low water. Team with 5 people.

Beautiful canyon, well equipped, currently low water flow.

The trip is 100% worth it. It is a beautiful area. Technically not difficult with this low water level. Before the trip we walked to the dam keeper's house and registered. We took it easy: Approach: 15 min Descent: 4 hours Exit: 20 minutes
27.08.2024 Bodengo II (Boggia II) Pepijn Hoeksema ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
We completed all three sections of Bodengo in one go. The low water level made the entire descent quite easy. It took us 8 hours from start to bottem with a team of 5 people. The anchor points were generally in good condition, though in Bodengo 3, finding them required a bit more effort. There are also fewer anchor points in this section, which sometimes necessitates climbing down. Fortunately, the rock provides plenty of grip. Overall, I enjoyed Bodengo 1 and 2 the most. The "Slide of Death" in Bodengo 3 was exciting, but there was also a lot of walking over large boulders, which made it a bit tedious at times. If I had to choose between the Bodengo Integral and Bares, I would go with Bares!

We had a training day here focused on efficiency. The canyon can be approached in several ways. We followed the route on the left bank. We followed the path on the map up to the gorge. This path is quite exposed in some places. At the end of the path, there was a rope around a tree with a maillon. We descended from there and ended up in the canyon. We completed the entire canyon, including the last three waterfalls, in just under an hour and a half.

Good canyon, low water this day.
