Non semplice trovare parcheggio, vicino all'uscita ci sono divieti quasi ovunque mentre a monte c'è poco posto. Portata d'acqua ottima nonostante il periodo molto secco.

It's not easy to find parking; near the exit, there are no-parking signs almost everywhere, while further up there's very little space. The water flow is excellent despite the very dry season.

Everything in order, basically everywhere where strictly necessary there are monopoint anchors while on many other points downclimb is necessary; water level normal/low with quite all the jumps feasible and the last T25 feasible. First part more open and vertical, than narrowing a little bit with many pools, jumps and toboggans, and becoming more slippery. Some walk in between, another narrow section with a beautiful pitch, little other walk and the final section with pools and the T25.

Accumulated wood/logs just right at the crossing of the approach path, once overcome everything clear and in order, many pools have been cleared and the hanging one even with low water can be jumped. Done also the initial part of the lower section after the bridge and the toboggan is fully doable.

Everything in order and all the pitches clear, good flow and refreshing water.

Sentiero di accesso da valle marcato con bolli blu. Ancoraggi in ordine. Tuffi e toboga fattibili. Un cinghiale morto rovina l'atmosfera sull'ultima cascata.

Access path from valley marked with blue bolts. Anchors in good order. Diving and tobogganing doable. A dead boar spoils the mood on the last waterfall.

Tutto in ordine. Molti alberi caduti sul sentiero di uscita.

All in order. Many fallen trees on the exit path.

Done with Beginner course of CAI Varese, water flow low and very hot air..everything in order and the usual woods around from below the 15m pitch till the end, just the last part they have mostly been cleaned.

Flow at checkpoint in medium situation wrt Eldorado Ticino reference picture, quite close to the upper limit (see photo). All the pitches doable, take into account that in many of them the current belays make you end in many cases right under the flow. All the anchor points in order, lot of logs/wood in the canyon after the bridge checkpoint, water in the pool very dark and not clean. The C22 (see photo), right after a road bridge and before the C45 (see photo), we downded from a tree on the right, cause it has a big log in the middle resulting in the risk of rope getting stuck in recovery with high flow if pressed against or below. The final C40 can be divided into C28+C8 cause after the pool there is a belay on the left; suggested to use with high flow to avoid entering the pool with lot of rope (see photo).

Parked on the big parking on the bridge close to the exit and taken the path on the other side of the bridge, direction to Rifugio Buzzoni, a few times crossing the forest (access restricted and not in good conditions) and shortly after the second time reaching Baite Serra where you can enter. Season begin and medium/high flow, anyway not being a problem for any passage. Upper part joyful with many pools, toboggans and little jumps with cristal clear and cold water. Than a medium pitch leading to the 50m, having a deviation on -8m technical to reach cause slippery. After a wood pedestrian bridge another section starts, more discontinuous but with a beautiful long section all carved in rock and with many nice passages and pools. Only pity is wood around in many pools, some technical downclimbs cause missing anchors and many fixed ropes in place which are in very bad conditions and not to be trusted; for sure an emergency bolting equipment is recommended cause some passages can change or become impracticable with wood.. Lastly a little walk towards the flood protection wall where getting the path leading back to the town and bridge parking.

Bel torrente, semplice e intuitivo ma super scivoloso! C’era un bel po’ di acqua e data la scivolosità non siamo riusciti a raggiungere gli armi più comodi e nuovi. Agriturismo per merenda finale consigliato 😜

Nice creek, easy and intuitive but super slippery! There was quite a bit of water and because of the slipperiness we couldn't get to the more comfortable and newer arms. Farmhouse for final snack recommended 😜

Gola molto profonda e scenografica, percorsa in 2h 30min per rientrare da Sa Fosca. Si tratta di un percorso avventura seguendo deboli tracce e tra enormi caos di massi che obbligano a numerose arrampicate su roccia molto unta. Nessun scorrimento d'acqua ma alcune profonde pozze da attraversare. Alcune corde fisse in cattivo stato aiutano la progressione (non è necessaria attrezzatura). Impegno fisico complessivo da non sottovalutare.

Very deep and scenic gorge, covered in 2h 30min to return from Sa Fosca. This is an adventure route following faint tracks and among huge chaos of boulders that force numerous climbs on very greasy rock. No water flow but some deep pools to cross. Some fixed ropes in poor condition aid progression (no equipment required). Overall physical commitment not to be underestimated.

Parked at Bar Else Arcs, walked a little bit back on the road till the bridge where you can find the evident old road that you can follow down to the old electric power station structure. All anchors in perfect conditions and water level very good, reported more than usual this year by locals and guides, 6h in a group of 16. Part of the group exited by the path leading back to Escorca (approx 2h), while the rest went down through Paresi (approx 2h30).

Torrente semplice e piacevole con alcune calate un po’ magiche ed “elfiche” caratterizzate da muschio e travertino. Torrente a tratti scivoloso. Acqua freddina. Abbiamo fatto navetta. Parte alta : Quasi secca, con pochissima acqua. Nel tragitto abbiamo trovato nelle pozze molte carcasse di animali. Tra le calate ci sono pezzi in cui si cammina. Parte bassa: Con flusso basso d’acqua. Non erano presenti carcasse di animali. Alcuni scorci molto carini con pozze dove ci si poteva tuffare. Calate semplici.

Simple and pleasant stream with some somewhat magical and "elfin" rappels characterized by moss and travertine. Creek slippery in places. Cold water. We shuttled. Upper part : Almost dry, with very little water. On the way we found many animal carcasses in the pools. Between the rappels there are parts where you walk. Lower part: With low flow of water. No animal carcasses were present. Some very nice glimpses with pools where you could dive. Easy rappels.

Checked the anchor points and integrated in the upper part where missing, now all the canyon is in order; detailed topo in Description/Tour. After a dry winter the upper Fonteno is not dry but the water flow is minimal, a pity for the animal carcasses in the pool cause they are cold but cristal clear. Water flow doubling in the lower cause inheriting from a tributary, creating a scenic double waterfall view under first pitch.

Flow in picture medium, no rain in the last week but quite all day in the week before, that makes some pitches very nice cause passing exactling in the water or right behind it. Three main different interesting sections, unluckily interrupted by many logs in between, in particular between the first two parts, and a really beautiful final section.

Torrente semplice a livello tecnico. Sentiero poco battuto di conseguenza nell’avvicinamento seguite i punti blu per non perdevi. Durante la discesa non c’erano tronchi che rendevano difficile il percorso. Ho trovato questo torrente delizioso , una piccola perla. Adatto a chi è alle prima esperienze in autonomia .

Easy creek on a technical level. Little beaten path consequently in the approach follow the blue dots not to get lost. During the descent there were no logs that made the trail difficult. I found this creek delightful , a little gem. Suitable for those who are first experiences on their own .

RIC 2025 Done upper part and lower part. For the upper part follow the path from Beura/Cardezza to Alpe Cresta, Alpe Bissoggio, Alpe La Piana, Alpe Solia di Fuori and Alpe Solia di Dentro. From the last one take the dry stream right before Alpe Arvoria (small water captation present) with path traces leading down to Ogliana di Pozzolo. Upper part discontinuous but with three main beautiful sections, quite all on french chains, mainly double even if some anchor points a little bit affected by canyon high flow; replaced anchor point on the pitch with the rock that can generate a syphon (no problem today) with a new line high on left bank, starting from a tree, leading to a double points and falling directly on the rock. Finally reaching the last part were all the anchor points are in order. Flow normal (estimated 40-50 l/s) with no particular problem.

RIC 2025 Done together with Mondelli superiore, everything in order.

RIC 2025 All anchors points in order, mainly quite everywhere double points with french chains. Alpine wonderful environment, recommended 60/70m rope.

RIC 2025 Lot of sand everywhere after the cleaning of the reservoir, but still quite many jumps are duable (to check well before).

Water level low, everything in order.

Parked right below Verigo, where the paved road ends near a small church and a large parking area. Approach following the old road, accessible on foot and by mtb, first crossing the cement bridge on Margologio where it is possible to look at the flow (reference pictures attached as normal/medium flow), then continuing up on the road until finding a path on the right side which will bring you till the railway crossing. Once crossed the railway, take the left in the opposite direction of the stone bridge on Margologio, and after a sharp bend of the railway you'll find on the right the path going upward, at the beginning not fully evident but than turning into a mule track leading up to Alpe L'Erta. From the Alpe climb up towards the last stone houses till a signpost, take the left path and follow it until you cross Margologio at height 1080 (1048 start indicated on Canyons du Haut Piémont Italien-Torrentismo in Alto Piemonte) Quite everywhere old french 8mm chains, many times doubled, but in many points only one out of the two usable, in some other points in very bad conditions or unusable. Quite open at the beginning and turning from mid to end in more narrow section and passages that should not be underestimated in case of higher flow considering current belays.
