Lisore: Départ du Canyon
Approche: cf. above
Tour: Mostly open canyon in forest terrain, 'gravel slippage' (because a storm in spring 2001 deposited a lot of debris, so hardly any jumps are possible), not very attractive. Better the lower parts from the road to the Rio Aveto. See photos and videos

Lisore: Fin du Canyon
Retour: At the mouth of the Aveto, cross it and meet the car parked below. You can avoid swimming through the Aveto if you go up to the right after the exit until you can avoid the steep drop on the right above. In this case, the lower vehicle should be parked about 1.1 km after the Aveto bridge at Ruffinati.

Tour: Mostly open canyon in forest terrain, 'gravel slippage' (because a storm in spring 2001 deposited a lot of debris, so hardly any jumps are possible), not very attractive. Better the lower parts from the road to the Rio Aveto. See photos and videos

Lisore: Parking à la sortie
Accès: Take the A 1 (via Milan) or the A 21 (via Brescia) to Piacenza (southern exit). Take a bypass around the town to the south, then take the SS 45 through the Val di Trebbia via Bobbio to Marsaglia. Before the bridge, turn left onto the SP 586 ('Chiavari') and leave the car at about km 12 or 600 m after the end of Salsominore. 900 m further on, turn right at Ruffinati over the Aveto and up to Lisore. Here you cross the Rio Lisore below a water intake (exit upper parts, access lower parts). Here you can take a look at the 30 m abseil point directly below the road. The entry point is where the Rio Lisore is crossed again (after 3.6 km) on the further ascent, and there is a suitable parking lot about 100 m further on in a bend to the right.
Retour: At the mouth of the Aveto, cross it and meet the car parked below. You can avoid swimming through the Aveto if you go up to the right after the exit until you can avoid the steep drop on the right above. In this case, the lower vehicle should be parked about 1.1 km after the Aveto bridge at Ruffinati.

Colombaia: Départ du Canyon

Approche: From the hamlet at the exit of the road, a path leads down to the stream. After about 80 m you reach the first rappelling point.
Tour: Only short runs. Several times rappel through the water flow. Some jumps possible, but check well, because strong bedload guidance.Is also commercially walked ('Buccia di Banana').The Colombaia could be temporally well connected with the Rio Grande.

Retour: At the second (?) tributary from the left you leave the canyon still before a large pool. The difference in altitude between the entrance and exit is about 200 meters. The path, which is hardly recognizable in parts, is marked with red dots. After about 10 minutes over the wooded ridge, a mule track leads to the left flank of Colombaia (watch out!). The path climbs gently - finally crossing a side stream - to the starting point. Attention: If you continue to follow the red dots, you will end up in Orezzoli!

Accès: Take the A1 (via Milan) or the A21 (via Brescia) to Piacenza (southern exit). On a bypass to the south around the city, then on the SS 45 through the Val di Trebbia via Bobbio to Marsaglia. Before the bridge turn left on SP 586 ( Chiavari ). At km 12 - Ruffinati - turn right over a bridge and up a narrow winding asphalt road to Lisore and on to a panoramic road. At the top (about 1050 m) turn left to Rovereto and continue on the high road to Orezzoli. About 300 m after this village, an unpaved road turns left to Lenguie. Pass this hamlet and park the car near the next hairpin bend, about 100 m before the exit.

Approche: Just before the rocky hill, the path descends to the Rio Grande. The entry is at the confluence of Rio Grande and Rio dei Boschi coming from the right (east).
Tour: Only 3 to 5 abseiling points (attractive with 19 m) short canyon. There was not much left of the former slides and jumps (after high water). At the bottom of the streambed there is a warning sign 'Lock opening', but the dams in the upper reaches are only supposed to be slide brakes. The Rio Grande could easily be combined with the Colombaia, and the canyon is also used commercially ('Speedy Gonzales').

Take a bypass around the town to the south, then take the SS 45 through the Val di Trebbia via Bobbio to Marsaglia. Before the bridge, turn left onto the SP 586 ('Chiavari'). After km 9 you drive through a tunnel, immediately afterwards there is a storage area for road debris on the left. You can park one car here. With the other car, continue for about 500 m and then turn left towards Casale - Brugneto. After 2 km (measured from the junction) there is a parking area on the left in a bend to the right. It is overlooked by an overgrown rock. The road turns away from the Rio Grande here to leave a side valley.
Retour: Exit directly at the lower parking lot.

2026-05-19: In the top part 1 anchor mission mailon. Nice narrow canyon perfect to combine with vionne.
Commentaire: Es kann auch etwas weiter unten eingestiegen werden. Hier spart man sich etwas bachlaufen, was allerdings kaum anstrengend ist in diesem Bach. Hierfür dem Weg orographisch Rechts etwas abwärts folgen und bei geeigneter Stelle einsteigen.
Approche: About 10 min downhill (shuttle). From the parking lot go back along the road. In the bend on the trail follow this downhill to the second path that branches off to the right. (If you are in front of a gate you have turned too early) Follow this downhill to the creek. approx. 40min (on foot) From the parking lot behind the Surfspot/ Pension (Café) you walk up the very steep hiking trail 260 next to the Limonenhang (very steep scree path) --> you cross the old Roman bridge where you can already have a look into the creek --> after approx. 20-25min. there is a bend with 2 signs (on the right Parto Bella della Fame 15min, on the left wooden sign with a small path) --> down the path on the left (view level) --> from here descend on the right along the poorly visible path to the stream (entry at approx. 280HM).
Tour: Short climbing passage to the rappel approx. 5m --> immediately after follows an approx. 30m rappel --> rappel 3m (slippery!) --> kl. climbing passage --> shortly after follows a C10 and C25 --> nice view of the lake --> highest rappel with 48m (arrival basin not visible) --> le emergency exit possible --> kl. rappel through thorn bushes approx. 4m (kl. Basin) --> immediately following a C40 (arrival basin not visible) --> short walking passages with left exit possibility (wooden railing) --> right 20m rappel slightly overhanging with step --> very slippery --> C40 on 2 steps divisible (2x20m or 1x40m) with clamping block (twisted and. Now you are under the Roman bridge (ascent path or emergency exit right) --> further rappel over narrow chute C20 in grotto --> after the rock arch comes a 5m climbing passage with fixed ropes on the left side for the further descent. Then there is another 3 meter step that we rappelled from the fixed ropes. (Here mMn. a anchor and a second fixed ropes are missing). After a short walking passages you get out of the canyon in front of the road on the right. (Here you can refresh yourself in the lake) (67Hm). Hydrology: Two days after heavy rain (about 20 l/m²) water level low.

Commentaire: Einstieg beim Wehr
Approche: The piste leads us, initially high above the stream, to the entry point at a dam with a water drain. We can also walk a little further along the slope and enter at the waterfalls (see photo gallery).
Tour: The short, narrow, meandering conglomerate gorge in the middle section with a few jumps and a 10 m toboggan makes up for the previously rather boring march through a flat streambed with a few tree-climbing sections. Last rappel: here a sling at the top of the tree. Clean but relatively cold water.

Accès: Take the A-7 from Genoa in the direction of Milan to the north. Take the Ronco Scrivia exit and continue north on the country road towards Serravalle. Approx. 4 km after the exit, the road leads through a hamlet called Creverina. Shortly before the village on the left, a narrow road leads under the railroad to the stream. Park the lower car in a suitable place at the top of the road. Continue with the second car through Creverina and after the last houses, a very narrow road leads off the main road at a steep right angle to the left in front of an old distillery. Follow this uphill and then continue straight ahead at all junctions until the road makes a sharp right turn uphill. A dirt road branches off to the left. Park the top vehicle here.
Retour: About 100 meters after a last abseil into a slightly larger lake, a path on the left bank leads to the railroad underpass, where the second vehicle was parked.
