Accès: From Torbole --> highway direction Verona/Affi --> exit at or before Brentino --> drive into the village of Brentino (located above the main road and the water canal) --> in the village follow the road to the right to the old power station (ENEL) (first asphalt then gravel) --> at the exit of the dead end you are in front of the iron gate of the beautiful old hydroelectric power station --> park here (approx. 280Hm).
Retour: Follow the clearly visible path back to the parking lot at the ENEL power station.

Approche: From the ENEL power station via the hiking trail left up to the stream --> you can check the water level beforehand at the exit below the key point (clamping block) (350Hm).
Tour: You can do the lower part of the Vajo dell'Orsa as a short introductory tour or do the very rewarding combination with part 1 (see description Vajo dell'Orsa superiore) --> if you decide to do the lower part only, after a short walking passage you go straight to the 1st abseiling point of 10m --> this is immediately followed by a 12m section slightly overhanging in deep pools + a small jump into the next pool --> after the next 5m step with large pools you come to the 1st abseiling point of 10m --> immediately afterwards there is a 12m section slightly overhanging in deep pools + a small jump into the next pool. After a short walking passage you go straight to the first rappel point of 10m --> immediately afterwards there is a 12m point slightly overhanging in deep pools + small jump into the next pool --> after the next 5m step with large pools comes the last rappel point --> here you can rappel left from the clamping block to a clear chain anchor or you can rappel directly in the water course below the clamping block (!!!rock in the arrival pool!!!) after a short walking section you leave the canyon right (290Hm).

2025-09-17: Rockfall in the block terrain. Slides in the upper part were all deep and the anchors were fine.
2025-07-12: All slides doable, very very nice! 6 hours for two between access and return
Approche: From the parking lot go to the entrance with the signs --> pass between the houses --> follow the hiking trail downhill --> at the tree with the sign 'Per la Valle' (hard to read) continue right --> you pass a rock face and a little further down you come to a fixed rope --> after a short time you are in the streambed (approx. 680Hm) --> follow the watercourse to the first steps of the tour.
Tour: After the first steps, there is a longer slippery section with small toboggans before you reach the more beautiful part of the canyon. At the point where the canyon narrows is probably the most beautiful part of the canyon. There are several abseiling points here, most of which can be slid or jumped. The water here is usually very clean so that you can easily estimate the depth. The canyon is offered by clubs, so there are usually good chain anchors, bolts and several fixed ropes in the canyon. The middle section is very incised and beautiful. This is followed by a rock labyrinth where you have to find your way by climbing down and rappelling. The highest abseiling point in the rock labyrinth is approx. 18m (at this point the water continues to walk underground). A gigantic clamping block marks the final part of the labyrinth. The canyon then opens up and here you have the option of bypassing the next steps via a fixed rope on the left. In the lower part of the tour there is a beautiful cascade (10m/S10 +25m) and a 10m abseil over several rocks. After a short walking passages you come to point 1 which marks the exit. Here you exit the canyon right through the crevice (approx. 350m). The lower part of the canyon is also worthwhile (see Vajo dell'orsa inferiore).

Accès: From Torbole --> highway ri. Verona/Affi --> exit at Brentino --> drive into the village of Brentino (lies above the main road/water canal) --> in the village follow the road to the right to the old power station (ENEL) (first asphalt then gravel) --> at the exit of the cul-de-sac you stand at the iron gate in front of the nostalgic hydroelectric power station where you leave the shuttle car --> with the 2nd car you drive out of the village onto the main road 450 in the direction of Affi --> pass the village of Canale --> drive up the road in the direction of Ferarra Monte Baldo (approx. 30 min. from P1 to P2). Take the second car out of the village onto the main road 450 towards Affi --> pass the village of Canale --> take the road up towards Ferarra Monte Baldo (approx. 30 min. from P1 to P2) --> after the village of Spiazzi (place of pilgrimage) drive approx. 3Km to the second small group of houses at a left bend --> here you have to look for the sign Localita Fraine Basse on the right --> next to the exit mirror there is also the yellow sign with the name Vajo dell'Orsa --> if possible park your car nearby (approx. 880Hm).
Retour: To get to the ENEL power station, follow the clear hiking trail. After approx. 15 minutes and several stream crossings, you will reach the parking lot/power station at an altitude of approx. 280m. If you don't have a shuttle car, continue towards the village square and past the fountain on the right. From here, follow the optional path (countless steps) up to the church. At the village of Spiazzi, follow the road to the car (1 to 2 hours depending on your fitness level).

Rio Val: Départ du Canyon
2026-02-22: If you get on at around 11.30/12.00, you will have sun throughout. The walk from the Palvico exit parking lot takes about 1.5 hours.

2025-09-08: Nice vertical canyon for practicing, we didn't need any rope traverses at the water level. Before you reach the first anchor with a badge on the right, you have to downclimb about 5 steps. Be careful...
Approche: From the small parking possibility (right bend) follow the forest path to the left. Passing a house with a well, the path leads shortly to the stream (entry at about 830Hm).
Tour: Very beautiful, open, south-facing canyon. Several short to medium rappels, with some exposed stands (rope traverses possible). You should be careful on the abseils because of the sharp edges. The rappels are mostly in the water, but the arrival pools are not deep. There are only short walking passages, if any, between the steps. The highest abseils are in the middle section of the tour. The Rio Val flows into the Palvico. The combination of the two rather short streams is recommended.

Accès: From Torbole, drive up towards Val di Ledro and past the lake. After a few serpentines downhill at km 47 (on the SS 240, 3km before Storo), park the first car (here you can already see the last rappel and the water level). Take the second car in the direction of Storo. In Storo, follow the main road as far as the "SAV" DIY store. Turn right immediately after the DIY store and follow the narrow, straight road. Turn right at the small signs with the inscription "Via Trento". Follow the mountain road for approx. 3.6 km (you go through a tunnel and past a few houses). At the highest point you will come to a pilgrimage chapel. The road now leads slightly downhill. After a short stretch with a few bends, there is a sharp left-hand bend where a forest road (old "Privato" no-driving sign) branches off to the right. Follow the forest road downhill to the right (approx. 40m). At the first bend there is limited parking (max. two cars) (840m).
Retour: The exit is directly on the road next to the stream Palvico (parking shuttle car) (830Hm).

Palvico: Départ du Canyon
2026-04-26: Challenging, high water level and it is still very cold. Be careful, the bridleway in the middle is open and drains a lot of water in the second part.
2026-02-22: Not much colder in February than in summer ;)
2025-10-06: A great short canyon, perfect for sporty beginners apart from the large final waterfall. It is used commercially and is equipped accordingly. As usual, you can find a video of the tour on Instagram...
Commentaire: (cwiki_1)
Approche: Enter the creek right next to the gravel turnout at km 47.5. If you choose the alternative parking lot and park in the hairpin bend, you descend briefly to the dam and enter directly at the weir.
Tour: The tour begins with walking passages and climbing over large boulders. At a 3m step you will find a fixed rope for downclimbing. This is followed by 2 swimming passages with small slides in a narrowing canyon. Arrived at the grotto, the 10m step can be rappelled or slid. After the big pool in the grotto the canyon opens. Here you have the possibility to bypass the next 10m step via fixed ropes (right) up to an 8m jump (attention water depth!). After the jump (rappel) comes the weir with possible emergency exit. This is the beginning of the lower part (see alternative canyon start). On the left side of the wall is the belaystation for the 20m steps. Here you mostly rappel 15m and slide 5m into the deep pool. In the grotto, swim to the next 25m rappel (left or right). Enclosed by high rock walls follows a 6m jump into a large pool. Then there is a narrow 5 m gap which can be rappelled or climbed down. Now you are at the final waterfall (45m). Here you can rappel to the left outside the water or to the right in the water to the large water basin (a 60m rope is recommended for pulling off). After a short walking passages in the shallow streambed, at the end of the tour you can take a running jump of 6m from the dam wall into the last pool.

2026-05-17: Nothing to report , everything in order. Nice canyon
2026-05-17: Descended today during canyoning course. Normal flow, anchors good, water cold but in line with the season.
2025-07-09: Start was a bit confusing as the river appeared dry. After some downclimbing we saw the water appearing. Nice experience, good anchoring
Approche: Description for the lower part: From the lower parking lot back through the village somewhat hidden over one of the two small bridges into Franz-von-Fenner-Straße, follow this up the hill until you come to a cupboard. Park the car there and continue on foot. Follow the road further uphill until you can see DISTINCT climbing tracks on the left (after about 50 meters downhill there is a small hut, then you are in the right place). If you walk until the road is close to the stream and you can see the slide brakes, you have gone too far. Follow the path downhill and descend along the stream. (In 2024 there were some helpful rope traverses.) Once you have descended over several slide brakes, you arrive directly in the stream. Entry.
Tour: Upper parts: Lower part: Quite fast parts, later even deep parts in wonderful scenic scenery with a short dark passage (no lamps necessary). Rappels and running sections of varying lengths alternate. Few technical difficulties await the canyonist, only at C40 a rope traverse has to be set up. If there is a lot of water, it can be difficult to get to the optimal position, especially on the C40.

Rio Nero di Ora: Départ du Canyon
2026-04-10: Anchorages are in perfect coniditions. Some well graveled and generally more slippery than usual,maybe due to the period. Cominqie always wonderful canyon
2025-09-20: The anchors were all in top condition and the rock was grippy. Most of the pools were at least waist-high with gravel and although it looked very wild from above, there was no serious danger of water...
2025-07-13: Hard to find acces point. Water level was sporty but not dangerous. Overall beautiful canyon
Approche: There is an entry point at an altitude of 750m, see http://www.ctgernstein.com/schluchten/Auerbach. Here you have to walk for a long time in the open streambed until you reach the interesting parts. We therefore recommend the access as described in P. v. Duin's book. To do this, take the abandoned forest path that starts at the north-eastern corner of the Kalditsch industrial estate and descends in a slight left turn for less than 10 minutes. It finally exits before a steep drop. Here we walk horizontally without a path for about 50m to the right and meet a clear path coming from the top right. Follow this down to the river. A few meters above the river still downstream, then we can - carefully - descend into the streambed.
Tour: 100m downstream from the entry we come to the first rappel (left). A little later the 2nd rappel with the "Progetto" badge. The 3rd and 4th rappels take us to the widening of the stream bed, where the water is drained off. Here, water is drained into the lower course at continuous intervals when the screen at the channel inlet is automatically cleaned. Over the dam down the 5th rappel, a little later the short 6th rappel. Then the 7th rappel to the right of the water-bearing chute (18m). The next short 8th rappel would be a wonderful slide if there weren't some boulders waiting for us in the pool, which is much too shallow. Then a real gorge section begins again. This is followed by rappel 9, the 10th over the rock platform to the left and from there the 11th and 12th down to the bottom of the gorge. There are 2 possible jumps here - after prior inspection. At the exit of the relatively flat gorge bottom we come to the (13th) rappel on the right rock face, a few meters before the waterfall (excess from the water drainage ?) pours down the high wall. The anchor is difficult to reach here, as a slab of rock has apparently "restructured" the belay. There is a bypass to the left. Finally, the exit of the tour is reached and we look for the path and exit to the metal footbridge on the right bank.

Approche: From the parking lot up past the yellow big house (asphalt road with driving ban) you come to a small bridge, here you can take a look into the stream --> then it goes up on the stepped hiking trail (Deva, Foci, Maddalena) --> over a fixed rope and attached ladder you come to a red hiking marker and lattice mast --> here it actually goes left. However, if you go straight, you can check the actual water level at the exit of the canyons --> after checking, go back and continue up the trail. After the stone slabs and with trail markers it becomes flatter. The path leads into the forest and to the stream (entry). Here on the left comes a small tributary with a bridge into the stream.
Tour: Before starting the tour, the weather and the water level should always be carefully checked because the canyon becomes very dangerous at high water levels. At the beginning of the tour comes a short walking passage with small steps that are bypassed or rappel. After a short distance the canyon narrows. Here comes the first dangerous place (abseiling with a backflow in the pool in the middle). With a little skill, one ropes past the pool on the right. Behind the edge below the belaystation there is the possibility to install a redirection. (possibly system setup for the last). Narrowly cut with little incidence of light, it continues to the next 2 small rappelling points and a climbing and walking passage (however, artificial light can be dispensed with). This is followed by several abseils between 10-20m which are partly in the water flow. After the last 20m step, the route continues over several boulders into open terrain. Shortly you reach a small path on the right (exit).

Retour: Even before the inflow from the left, the trail goes out of the canyons on the right. Follow the path that shortly meets the access path. Then continue back to the parking lot.

Val Fogare (inferiore): Départ du Canyon
2025-05-31: All necessary anchors available. 2x 30m ropes sufficient. Everything clean, no wood.
2024-08-23: We heard that the canyon is doable. Some anchor points are old, but still functional. One traverse is "the most fun". But it's okay, everything is fine ♡
2024-07-26: With the upper part a wonderful canyoning tour
Approche: From the parking lot you cross the Torrente Cordevale and go south. It is relatively obvious where to go into the woods on the other side of the river, because in front of it there are high slopes that you can not climb. At the first opportunity where the embankment is lower, you go into the forest (during our walk 14.8.2023 there was also a cairn at the embankment). In the forest you will find an obvious path that is also marked with red markings. Follow the path southwards until you reach the exit of Val Fogare (after about 15 minutes from the parking lot). Cross the Fogare and after about 20m go up the slope and meet the trail that from now on goes uphill. After about 330m at 480m, instead of following the path that goes straight on, take a hairpin bend and continue along the path that goes steeply uphill from here on. During the ascent, you will come across a stone manderl, a wall with iron railings and a trail marker. After several meters of altitude, it suddenly becomes flatter. Here you have a beautiful view into the valley and the canyon. For the further flat path above the canyon, it is better to wear a helmet. The partly heavily damaged railing says more than a thousand words. From here about 20min. without difficulty follow the path to the stream / entry at about 640m (ticks do not forget ;-) )
Tour: The Fogare inferiore is certainly one of the most beautiful and varied canyons in the national park. Without a long stretch of path, there are several steps that can either be rappelled or jumped. A few narrow sections, a grotto in the middle of the gorge and the shimmering green water in the pools will make your canyoning heart beat faster. The belays are no longer the newest but are still usable and well positioned. Due to the catchment area of only 4.2Km², you normally have no problems rappelling in the water. The canyon should not be underestimated due to its narrow sections! After the last incised passage, there is a small open wall in the stream. Then the last few meters are downclimbed. Exit at approx. 460m below the water channel. Val Fogarè is located in the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti where canyoning is prohibited. The A.I.C. management has been negotiating with the national park administration for some time.

Accès: Coming from Belluno, head towards Agordo and continue on the SS203 into the Cordevale Valley. After the village of Mas comes the village of Peron. About 4Km after Peron, along the Torrente Cordevale, on a long straight left there is a large picnic area with camper pitches. Opposite is the house of the Comando Statione Forestale "C. se Candaten". From here continue for 1.2km until you reach a forest road on the left by a dilapidated house. Here you enter the forest until you reach Torrente Cordevale (here are also nice places to sleep, which are a bit secluded). This parking lot is much better than the "old" one at the picnic area, because it is relatively shielded.
Retour: At the exit or. left again up the path and return to the parking lot.

Approche: From the parking lot, a path leads in a southerly direction to the ridge above the wide gravel bed of the Valmontina. On the left there is a large board (2012) that shows a sketch of the so-called Area Wilderness Valmontina (see photo!). Here is also shown our access via the "Percorso Escursionistico". We take the path on the northern slope of Valmontina and thus reach the footbridge over the orographic right tributary Bosco Bello. After the bridge we cross (partly with wire rope insurance) into this side stream and rope down into the Valmontina. If you continue along the circular route, you will reach the footbridge over the Valmontina (Pont de la Bigoza). Here you could directly enter the Valmontina, but immediately after this entry follows a narrow gorge part, about which so far no information is available (so possibly Explorer tour).
Tour: Entry is via the last three rappels in Val di Bosco Bello, then march in the river with smaller rappels (max. 15 m) and possible jumps. The problem here is the generally abundant water flow (therefore not walked by the author). You can see the canyons just before the footbridge. It is also possible to reach the entry via Val di Cima Montagna in connection with Val di Bosco Bello (see description there).

Approche: Directly at the second hairpin bend, follow the well-trodden path over the first small stream/river. Then climb up a little on the orographic left-hand side next to the Val Maggiore until you reach a well-trodden path that soon leads directly to the stream. This is the entry point for the Maggiore intermedio (there are several entry options, but we found this one to be the best).
Tour: The Val Maggiore is a not deeply incised (max. 40m) canyon in very beautiful, grippy layered limestone in a vegetation-rich environment. Countless beautifully washed-out pools, some of which are deep, invite you to slide or jump after checking the depth. As the canyon is often used commercially, the tour is well equipped. There are Inox lugs, chain anchors, glued anchors or rope traverses for rappels or bypassing at all important steps/spots. The Val Maggiore is suitable for beginners, but should not be underestimated at higher water levels as some pools can recede or you may have difficulty getting out in the washouts/caves in the current area. The highest abseil point of 25m comes after a short warm-up section directly after the bridge that you have previously passed by car (there are often onlookers on a viewing platform). The 25m rappel can also be bypassed on the left. Another higher (15m) rappel comes in the final section under a bridge where you can alternatively get off. Here you should watch out for several iron bars in the stream. The last step before the road can usually be jumped (otherwise chain anchors on the left).

Park the 2nd car here and follow the path down into the streambed. With a 2nd car, the access time is reduced to 10 min.
Tour: The tour starts with an 8m jump and becomes increasingly narrower and more incised. Strong water flow. Accurate jumps required! Hooks often consist of only one 8mm anchor. In the middle part follows a 20 min. walking passages in open terrain until the canyon cuts in again. The high waterfall at the exit can be avoided or rappel 10m into the pool to find an anchor at the edge on the left, which is not visible from above. Caution: when the water is strong, there is a danger of being washed over the edge. From here it goes down a good 35m!

Approche: Follow the forest path that starts here downhill for about 200 m until the first leftward haipin bend. The access is signposted Apocalipse Now and marked in red and white. In addition, there are blue-white AIC markings. Descend to the right onto a forest ridge and turn left just before a streambed. At the next signpost, descend parallel to the streambed and soon traverse left under a slick wall to the entry. If you have time, you can also follow the signs to Ponte del Diaolo, a natural bridge over the narrowest part of the gorge (round trip about 40min).
Tour: The tour is well secured at the time 13.8.2023 with the possibility of building some rope traverses to avoid being exposed to the water during rappel. Nevertheless, the Torrente Grigno should not be underestimated because of the strong water flow can always form backflows, etc.. After rappelling down into the canyon, after a short walking passages comes the next rappelling point which can be reached or. right by building a rope traverse. After a rappel of about 10m in the dry or. right you come to a not so easy place that must be overcome. Here there is the possibility of climbing or. right. to a dry abseil stand or one builds a ropeway by means of a drift anchor. A rappel directly into the water flow should only be risked by people who know Grigno. Now the really dark part of Grigno begins. A small rappel of about 3m ortographic right follows, which can be overcome by means of a pulley (fixed carabiner) and without which one would get directly into the strong water flow. Several abseils, jumps into turbulent pools and long dark corridors follow which, depending on the time of day, have partial light incidence and lead to wonderful light shows. (The canyon is oriented to the south, i.e. at noon you have the best chance to see beautiful light in the canyon. For about 2.5h you are in this dark corridors where no escape route is possible. After that, the canyon opens and a walking passages of about 30 minutes follows, ending at the dam wall that can be reached from the village of Grigno.
