Résumé: traduction alternative ➜

Clean, cold water; aquatic tour with many slippery climbing and jumping passages; only a few rappels; some difficult emergency exits; rather open, flat canyon with lots of vegetation; long walking passages; eight slides!

Accès: traduction alternative ➜

From Biasca --> ri. Personico --> take the first road on the right past the houses until you reach the mountain road above the village --> from here take the serpentines to Val d'Ambra until you reach a parking lot with a fountain (200m further on is a dam wall).

Approche (1 h): traduction alternative ➜

From the parking lot, follow the hiking trail behind the fountain towards Cassinone --> the hiking trail goes gently uphill --> you pass several mountain huts before the path goes slightly downhill again --> you cross a stone bridge --> then it goes up again --> at the fork in the path turn left down to the 2nd stone bridge which is located in front of the abandoned Cassinone group of houses --> after the houses keep left and follow the steep forest path with orange markings to the stream at approx. 850Hm.

Tour (3 h): traduction alternative ➜

The entry is at approx. 850Hm --> after a few meters there is an inlet and the first of many slippery downclimbs --> the canyon is very flat with only a few rappels that can be abseiled or jumped --> if the access were a little shorter and the walking passages between the canyons not so long, this would be a nice entry tour --> due to the amount of water, however, the pools at the abseiling points should not be underestimated --> the canyon is more of a jumping and hiking canyon -- at the end there are several pools one after the other with partly turbulent pools before it goes over another walking passages to a large pool in front of the weir -- exit at approx.620Hm.

Retour (10 min): traduction alternative ➜

At the last large pool (approx. 620m) before the weir system you get off on the left --> the area should not actually be entered, but the fishermen and canyoneers do not take it too seriously (hole in the fence) --> on the left side of the pool it takes a few minutes to get back to the road or parking lot.

A few nice individual spots, but I think you should put some photos with only boulders in the photo gallery, because it feels like 90% of the tour consists of these. Many rocks are currently much more slippery than they look...

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Ambra (supérieur) Pas mal de coin glissant. Mettrai quelques amarrage. Et le début n'est pas claire. Nous on est rentré au deuxième pont et on a fait le premier toboggan sur AN. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/2654/observations.html)

First alternating between slides, jumps and running in the stream. Later, more swimming than walking. All the slides and jumps were free. However, some of the rocks in the pools were such that you had to jump or dive down them. I didn't find any orange markings on the access to Nach. We walked along the lower edge of the meadow after the houses and a path went down at about the exit of the second meadow.
