Small initiation canyon, pleasant despite a somewhat strenuous exit walk.

Downstream Access: In Ornavasso, go up to the upper part of the small village to the end of the San Carlo stream. Park and reach the stream via a small road. Shuttle required. Upstream Access: From ORNAVASSO, take the Madonna del Boden road. Go past the Madonna church/sanctuary and park 50 meters after the bridge that crosses the San Carlo stream.

100 meters after the bridge, the gorge narrows. The progression consists of a succession of jumps and nice slides down to the 30-meter waterfall. The gorge widens; it is soon possible to take off your gear (100 meters after C30). Getting out of the riverbed is a bit tedious.
