02.08.2026 Val D'Ortié Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
In the upper part alone (1670-1575) today i added 6 Tebylon anchors, overall the sup can be descended safely now, missing though is a handline for the C30 (which is found on the right), for now use the rocks here or be assured by your team while accessing. The middle part is deeper and more adventurous, with old (mix of metal) and newer anchors (not always ideally placed), mostly singles. The last part i did not commit to and exited towards the trail river right at 1300+- because of approaching thunderstorm and missing anchors. For next visit: a handful of quicklinks, rope for trees and an unknown amount of anchors for the lower, for the middle and the handline in the upper part.
20.07.2026 Val Corpassa Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Fantasticly alpine, but in need of a complete rebolting.
17.07.2026 Picchions-Vinadia Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Like they did in Vinadia (but got destroyed), there's bits of via ferrata in Picchions (in great condition) which helps in tackling the boulder fields. Picchions has more water than its eastern neighbour but is more discontinuous. Surprising to find number plates at every abseil in conjunction with a mix of steel: i replaced as many anchors as i could that were non-inox and added M10 in addition to spits on a somewhat treacherous downclimb. Presence of one dead animal halfway Vinadia.
17.07.2026 Cascata dell Inferno Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
The views of Agner really add to this canyon. Not your typical Dolomite canyon, more like open sunny waterfalls and a great overal alpine setting. The last few obstacles after the c50 are optional, quite nice, but in a brittle rocklayer with a short bushy exit after that. Watch out, it's not all slides or jumps, already in one of the first pools was hiding a tree.
15.07.2026 Val di Scala Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Via ferrata followed by a difficult hike (navigation skills required) that takes you away from the canyon and then traverses back at entrance level. The canyon gave me the shivers because of all the dead wood, but it is bolted so that you can avoid the worst parts. Some new ropes + quicklinks for the first and final abseils would be good. In between anchors are mainly 2*10mm bolts but not the best placements! All quicklinks were open!! Mix of steel, use of non-redundant ropes.... But it does the trick. Would we repeat? Probably not. It would need a good clean-up.
07.07.2026 Ciol del Pes Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Your local Claretto, best walked in summer conditions with no thunderstorm. Ciorosolin, Meda and Pes are the canyons most affected by the storm a few years back.
04.07.2026 Val Zemola Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
A large portion of rock (EN: landslide, IT: frana) has fallen into the canyon below the little bridge. Passing is possible, though with care. Water colour changed multiple times during our descent.
27.06.2026 Ciol Susanna Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Tour of Susanna with a 7p. Italian team during Friulcanyon. Approach with blue markings in 2hrs. on a very hot day, perfect to get rewarded with pools & toboggans after every abseil. Anchors are plenty according to the recent teams and continuity of the first 3/4 of the canyon exceptional. We used the -45 in the big abseil (room for 3) which always works well. Great feedback and smiles after the work done here. The C60 I would still like to change, but I haven't figured out how... 6h40 total activity.
26.06.2026 val Pale Floriane (Compol's left tributary) Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Long alpine canyon, that is more discontinuous than nearby Susanna or Nucci. To bring the security closer to standards we had to add many anchors, doubled or made redundant a lot. Good to know there is one obligatory toboggan of +-10m and another obligatory jump in the final part. In between there is a long and testing walk/downclimb along a landslide and boulders. We entered 1400masl+- through a larches field (pretty straightforward). There is room for some 4, maybe 5 additional anchors. Also thanks to the previous team for their work. There is still quite a few single 8mm made of a rusty mix of metal (bolts look inox) and may be changed by next team. Good downclimbing skills required for this canyon. 5-7hr in total.
25.06.2026 Val Zemola Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Actually a good flow, perfect for Friulcanyon this weekend. A reminder to go easy in the pools, there's hidden rocks and a bit more gravel than usual. The approach is marked with blue dots + ferrata in the exposed parts, however the grass is high and ticks are about.
24.06.2026 Kog Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
All original anchors were destroyed. The first 4 obstacles were without traces. Only in the last 60-70m waterfall (thanks to iceclimbers that bolt well away from the flow) there was something useable. Newly bolted multiple anchors (well protected, a bit hidden) with 10mm inox, if not just used trees. Thanks to CanyonZone & Tebylon for the gear. Replaced the rusty steel for inox in the big drop and removed fixed ropes. Looking forward to repeat it. Maybe late summer if the nearby Fernerbach should have too high water.
24.06.2026 Pflerscherbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 🌊 Fou Terminé ✕
Currently too high water due to high temperatures and frequent thunderstorms.
24.06.2026 Pontelletto Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✕
Due to the large alpine water catchment area and current heatwave the canyon is nearly overflowing. With the forecasted rain/thunderstorm definitely not a place to be. Checked the anchors on the big drop (reachable via forest road), they are on the left (2 hangers without quicklink) they look super rusty.
24.06.2026 Ternerbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ Terminé ✔
Remember i did this canyon some years ago, today when driving past. It tops the list as one of the worst canyons. It was extremely slippery (south facing, forest, granite...) with a lot of boulders (at least at the start). Managed to get the rope stuck twice in the same location until i drilled an abalakov to get through, after which i exited and never finished the canyon. Would be great to read what other people think of the canyon.
01.06.2026 Teufelslochklamm Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Complete rebolting with m10 ss, only the first abseil is from a tree, (new redundant corde with ring). Also added new anchors to protect the downclimbing. Kindly provided by www.canyonzone.com Continued into Hinterer Kreidengraben for another 6 abseils. Ideal after rain (with a flash flood warning) as the catchment area is very small. Collector/beginner canyon. Did not verify the mini-waterfall at the end as i exited after 6 abseils to connect with Hinterer Kreidengraben (steep hunters trails, clearly visible on the right bank). 20m tree, lb, double cordelette w ring Trail, possible exit Devil graffiti (old 8mm, missing) 6m 1 bolt, lb (Deliberately damaged bolt thread so they cannot remove) DC, walk 20m 1 bolt w ring (far, marked w wood, in flow), lb DC, walk 6m 1 bolt, lb DC, walk 8m, 1 bolt, rb (double drop possible) DC, walk 18m, 1 bolt w.ring, 1 abalakov w.ring, lb, highlight of tour Exit rb on a hunters trail to continue into Hinterer Kreidengraben
01.06.2026 Hinterer Kreidengraben Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Complete review of the anchors, m10 ss, made redundant and most are now equalized with 9mm rope. Only one (out of two) bolt is a spinner. Nice combo with Teufelslochklamm which make it a more sporty outing, if not only for introductory purposes. Ideal after rain and one of the rare canyons that can be done without a bike from the village/camping. Mc 1 bolt, R to a bolt, R 12m 1 bolt + abalakov w. ring, R 20m 2 bolts w. yellow rope (redundant) + maillon, R 6m 2 bolts w. rope (serie) + 1 maillon, L 15m 2 bolts, R Mc 2 bolts, R (optional) 20m 2 bolts w. yellow rope + maillon, R 10m 1 bolt w. ring, R DC, walk, exit L

Wasserreicher, schöner Canyon mit glasklaren türkisen Becken. Sehr viele Stellen sind springbar. Kann aufgrund des Wanderwegs orogr. rechts gut mit dem inferiore-Teil verbunden werden.
Watery, beautiful canyon with crystal-clear turquoise pools. Many places are jumpable. Can be easily connected with the inferior part due to the orographic hiking trail on the right.

Achtung: Mitnahme Bohrmaschine dringend empfohlen! Die Haken für's Seilgeländer waren beschädigt und der Stand mittlerweile zu hoch um diesen zu erreichen. Haben einen neuen Stand gebohrt (abseilen direkt in der Wasserlinie). Mussten aufgrund einer Verletzung den Notausstieg orogr. links nehmen - daher aktuell unklar wie der Zustand der Haken ab diesem Punkt ist.
Attention: Bringing a drill is strongly recommended! The anchors for the rope traverse were damaged and the stand was now too high to reach. We drilled a new belay (rappel directly in the waterline). Had to take the emergency exit orographic left due to an injury - therefore currently unclear what the condition of the anchors is from this point.

18.05.2026 Torrente Albola Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✔
The flow today was higher than usual after a few days of rain (we had 0,10 https://www.floods.it/public/Charts.php?Sensori[]=28159) but everything smooth (0,06-0.08 would be more gentle). I wouldn't say the descent is a5 but it isn't harmless either: there's undercurrents, some slippery spots and the occasional rock hiding in the white water. Unfortunately rather short. The damaged handline refers to a steel cable, gloves come recommended. The anchors aging, but they do the job.

17.05.2026 Baes Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Beautiful tour. Happy end with finish in the lake and swim back to the car. Some wood in the first few waterfalls, some we were possible to clear. And yes, gravel in the riverbed, which is also a good idea to clear before going down. Busy lower parking depending on wind conditions kiters are there or not. A paid parking or some spots along the lake (you may have to walk through a busy tunnel and swim back). One car+ the hike up works perfect otherwise. Abseils are plenty and most of them real beauties.

16.05.2026 Vajo del Sandolino Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Lots of wildlife, little bit of water and a litlle slippery, mostly the first few steps. Then comes that nice incission, and it's rather continuous. Ideal after rain, for us coming from Verona airport it was a practical stop too. We were two teams in Sandolino today as other canyons reportedly had too much water.

Schöne einsame Tour. Alle Anker Ok. Niedriger Wasserstand trotz Starkem Regen am Abend und Morgen vor der Begehung. Zustieg wild aber gut markiert. Im ganzen eine tolle kontiunierliche Abseiltour mit nur einer Gehstrecke im unteren Drittel und schönen hohen Abseilern. Bei viel Wasser könnte es hier und da schwierig sein den ausgesetzten Stand zu erreichen.
Beautiful lonely tour. All anchors ok. Low water level despite heavy rain in the evening and morning before the ascent. Access wild but well marked. Overall a great continuous rappel tour with only one walking passages in the lower third and nice high rappels. If there is a lot of water, it could be difficult to reach the exposed belay here and there.

02.05.2026 Rio Simon (Superiore) Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Already a few years ago i added anchors to bring the lines closer to the water. First one is on the right bank where the other is left and far away (however, watch out with the boulder in the bottom not to get your rope stuck). This year we added 2 anchors right bank on top of the S-waterfall with fantastic view below a tributary = the original anchor with optional redirect left bank may now be used as handline. Doubled another anchor lower down where the rock does not sound too good = this one should be triangulized. The third abseil (single anchor with ring left bank) should be relocated all in all because of the poor rock quality. One solution here could be to feed a rope through the solid boulder (abalakov), which also brings the line into the flow. Cold but beautiful and a complete, fun day in Simon.

01.05.2026 Rio Fondaris Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Enjoyable tour with a few highlights, one of which is the 12m (?) jump at the end. However anchoring is often singles. The most beautiful waterfall is also untouched, a redirect here would be a major improvement.
30.04.2026 Arzino (superiore) Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
A bit early in the year, but given the fact it had only rained little in April (1cm of snow), the water flow is already at summer level. However, as a measure of precaution, a personal floating device was still useful. Thankful for the feedback of Jason, the aquatic scale was raised, i doubled the first anchor, doubled the big waterfall, added another anchor for the final handline, and doubled its exit (4 bolts for the handline in total). All the anchors are away from the tourist trail. No slings or ropes on the trees.
29.04.2026 Val Ferron Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Completed the tour with quicklinks, rings, redundant anchors (M10 for the lower part). All drops top-to-bottom now have two anchors or abalakov as a complement in the upper part. The descent remains an adventure trip, but without compromise. Recommended is the combination of both mini-canyons as 1 itinerary from the lower parking. Spotted multiple snakes, one dead animal in the collector, but 0 ticks this time. Note: in my previous report i mention that i run upper + lower part, both refer to the tributary. This upper-upper part is a dry river bed below the big rock walls and is just walking. Interesting parts are lower part of tributary + lower part of collector. In between is a walking section. The file has been updated accordingly.
25.04.2026 Val Maor di Mel superiore Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Worthwhile extra to the classic part. Added the missing anchor where the log jam and tricky downclimb is. Cold this time of year.
25.04.2026 Val Maor di Mel Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Done 1-2-3-4 + affluent. Exited at the Castello. Added the missing anchor in the superiore to take out the exposed downclimbing and another in the tributary to avoid rusty old 8mm. Cold this time of year. Everybody loved it. Though a bit long for some.
21.04.2026 Valle della Fontana Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ Terminé ✔
Not worthwhile from a canyoning perspective, unless maybe the other canyons are overflowing or dry. Definitely no need to do the upper part. Easy and recommended walk from below.
18.04.2026 Grieskarbach Clarissa Linder ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔ ➜
Frühjahrsputz: Haken erneuert/neu gesetzt, Verklausungen teilweise entfernt (im unteren Teil leider immer noch sehr viel Holz)
Spring cleaning: anchors renewed/replaced, blockages partially removed (unfortunately still a lot of wood in the lower part)

14.03.2026 Rimonta Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Bigger, wilder and deeper than what may appear from the description. You have to love walking in a rocky riverbed, but the sporty 30, the quite nice 60 and impressive narrow parts make up for the effort. I would definitely repeat. Anchors ok, there's even choices. Added a M10 SS bolt + hanger on the left of the old pitons with ropes in the final 5m abseil. If the next group likes this location, the ropes can be taken down, should be much cleaner.
12.03.2026 Val Forame Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Secundary-tertiary rather... Easily walked but of no great interest rather than avoiding the water using the deviation (left a carabiner for this purpose)..Overall rebolted but not always ideal. Two nice pools to look at.
01.03.2026 Rio Pignatte Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Recent tour that could do with a comprehensive review of the anchors and rock quality. In two locations at least i noticed cracks and hollow, fractured rock, so i reached out with a solution: one time from a tree (the rope used, was found at the entrance of the canyon, probably cut) with a ring, on the right bank. Another location a few meters back from a steel anchor, also right bank, for a stainless steel Tebylon anchor. The higher abseils have double inox anchor with chain, and on better rock. Ideally combined with for example Val di Gole, when in the area. Best to bring ropes to leave behind, a drill and a couple anchors with your critical (sun)glasses on.
01.03.2026 Rio val di Gola Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Deep and impressive Dolomite gorge with cave like passages, some due to huge fallen boulders where we go below. A bit of a jungle feel as well. A must when in the area or when traveling on this road. We did it after Pignatte. Continued with one car, parked along the busy road. At the exit of Gola (confluence with the main river) left bank and then gently via the houses back to the road.
18.02.2026 Gorgontale Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✔
Done after intense period of rain, almost regretted when i saw the amount of trees in the flow, but all went smoothly. First anchors are quality 10mm, chain... However soon follow a couple 8mm on cracked or loose rock. Had to look hard to find them (removed plants, moss...) also one place is without possibility for a decent anchor, a tree is used. Removed some fixed ropes. Checked out 4 caves in total. Rockfall.
15.01.2026 Val del Molinello Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Sèche Terminé ✕
To check the actual flow in the canyon, one can walk in from the bridge at the exit, past two sources. Currently the canyon is dry. Limited parking space.
15.12.2025 El Rio Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Snowmelt on Guajara & Teide saw moderate waterflow down to El Rio dam. This also means the pools have temporary underwater vegetation, as well as enormous rockfall. Impressive place... unfortunately rather laborous from its middle section. And a hike up for 1/2 of the 800m if you don't have a 4x4. Can be made shorter by doing the upper half or longer in combi with the sup. Anchors mostly doubled and in good condition, but also some clearly impacted by water & rockfall. One or two extra anchors would be good to have, also in the last part (guided abseils could use fixed ropes) to avoid some of the pools. Replaced a few recent steel for stainless.
07.11.2025 Bleniere Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Integrale with car shuttle over St Claude. Doing only the lower part would be really short. Good conditions.
03.11.2025 Herisson Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✔
Impressive amount of water after days of rain, doable because the receptions are flat (no pools or movements to be tackled). Started with the Saut Girard. It has a chain on a tree, but most are recent single ropes on a tree or the occasional chained anchor. The only spot to improve would be the access to the c60. We had someone following us to avoid issues with hikers.
25.10.2025 Steinenbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✔
Nice compact, mini-canyon, perfect flow, to do after rain or to train beginners indeed. The combo with climbing on Holzflueh is also very recommended. Orientation of the canyon is south east, so it loses sun after midday at the end of october, for this reason we started with the canyon and went climbing afterwards. All anchors are doubled, minus one in an intermediate drop.
20.10.2025 Furbach (Inferiore) Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Beautiful autumn colours and unexpectedly also some sun in the canyon. Cool waterfalls, though many indicators of heavy floods with debris, also avalanches. Currently the water is black/brown/grey and some pools are with mud or rocks. One anchor was added to a rusty ring. Surprisingly the lower two drops (some 20+35) have only one anchor (for next team to double?). Also on the top big abseil, it would be nice to have a line that follows the water more directly from the start.
18.10.2025 Sulzbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Second round, we took out many fixed ropes, rusty quicklinks and replaced with inox quicklinks + rings instead, doubled a few anchors, removed one or two that was badly placed (hollow rock or too near the water) etc. Just a few more fixed ropes to take out for the next team.
16.10.2025 Diesbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Real slippery, strong flow and exposed abseils. A new tree in the upper pool where you could jump. 2 additional anchors were placed (well-protected) to access the big drops (each of them with double anchor). Loose and falling rock in the big waterfalls, best not to stay below or have your rope dangling where you cannot see it. We opened the lowest waterfall to complete the tour with one anchor on the right. Short tour to complement a stay in the valley.
15.10.2025 Sulzbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Nice surprise. Especially a few abseils, we chose the active lines, but from on top you don't know what to expect really. Drilled a few anchors, even chose to change some lines. The first one, for example, at the landslide (abseiling via a tree), we now have a new abseilstand on the right bank (no rope friction, not exposed, on good rock), whereas the old one is hard to reach. Unfortunately quite a few fixed ropes that need changing (or also cut the ropes and just add quicklinks) a few more renewed anchors would be welcome. Early approach is enjoyable, only the last part is without trail and uneasy. Beautiful & in the sun this time of year
14.10.2025 Schlattbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔

12.10.2025 Seerenbachfälle Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Well doable with low/normal flow, but the final c190 gets you in the water & working whether you want it or not. Some of the most memorable minutes a canyoneer will ever have. A 2nd anchor for the intermediate 40+- waterfall would be nice. In the upper part some jumps are optional, but mind possible shallow pools. In short, to do once or repeat whenever possible :)
13.08.2025 Pogallo Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Floating on a hot Summer's day in the Valgrande PN is about as good as it gets. We used one car + hitchhiked. The recent anchors were welcome, only the handline at the head of the abseil could still do with a chain or second bolt. Very aquatic. A4?
11.08.2025 Acqua Bianca Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
First descent. Exploratory anchors: often single, many abalakovs (small diameter, will have to be changed) but also a few double in the last waterfall. Special caution is required with rope pulling in the big waterfall: it is split up in 3, but knots in the rope & uneasy positioning may complicate things. Canyon is all about the sunny, wide open views and location at the foot of several 4000'ers.

Done in 2h40+a good 8 hours in the canyon. Easy car shuttle on the N-side, fllwd by a beautiful approach with views towards Monte Rosa & Domodossola. We started in upper Rio Menta, but the first 200m are lost walking down (next time we would try the waterfall a little further on the trail which takes its water from the lake & is visible from the approach). We reinforced or changed location of a few anchors. Top to bottom there are now quite a few new m10 Tebylon anchors, but also glued & 8mm old ones. For the lovers of long days, bigger abseils, lush pools and boulderhopping.

The orange colour of the rock is said to come from the above goldmine. Secondary tour interesting when combined. We continued into Segnara. On the approach don't miss the big blue markings left after the church through the plants & forest & eventually the canyon. Access then becomes steep, one fixed rope is installed.
06.08.2025 Segnara Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Shuttle unnecessary. Park either along the main road (nice ancient bridge crossing to do by the church) or on the access road. Bonus: cozy family run pizzeria/restaurant on the main road.
05.08.2025 Mondelli sup. Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
In the upper part mainly expl. 8mm with bits of chain, last time we drilled one new, weird to find a few years later still no improvements. One of the first intermediate anchors (2 bolts) left bank is also missing, but can be done in one. The short, steep approach for part I is a good warm-up for the lower parts.
03.08.2025 Rasiga Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Integrale i.e. with higher waterfall & landslide in lower part. 40+ abseils, pools & slides. Good conditions, not too slippery. Lower part is ok to do. Sporty waterfall! Only the exit of the lower part is to check well, we continued abseiling in the main river and had to climb our way out. For the access path we confirm previous comment. One so-called trail does not lead to the canyon. Find signposts first (see description & comment)
01.08.2025 Ogliana di Quarata Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Great, somewhat technical canyon, reminding of Soladino in Ticino. Quite a few anchors had to be reviewed. Next team could bring a piece or two of old rope, we only had dyneema with us apart from the hardware. The start is a bit dull with large boulders, but the reward is huge. Water levels are optimal for the raduno & RIC.
27.07.2025 Rio Nuccí Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Removed much of the remaining wood on the approach, checked markings & state of the anchors (feedback is more blue markings would be welcome), added 1 anchor in Ciol Bevador and one for a handline (to install) in Nuccí (requested by last team). All anchors are in perfect condition. Again viper at same location as always, that's 3 times in a row. Time 3+6 hours to complete Nuccí-express in an easy going team or <6hrs solo or fast team.

Alle 19 Edelstahl-Ringe, die wir 2021 gebohrt haben, waren noch da und in gutem Zustand. Sind dieses mal etwas höher bei 1440m Höhe eingestiegen, haben dort noch mal 5 Anker gesetzt, an manchen Stellen waren noch alte Felshaken bzw. 8mm Anker der Erstbegehung vorhanden. Wunderbare Kombination Klettersteig/Canyoning mit traumhaftem Panorama.
All 19 stainless steel rings that we drilled in 2021 were still there and in good condition. This time we climbed a little higher at 1440m, set another 5 anchors there, in some places there were still old pitons or 8mm anchors from the first ascent. Wonderful combination of via ferrata/canyoning with a fantastic panorama.

Flood happened. The river bed further flattened out and a couple of natural dams one of which near the water release (picture) is particularly unstable (more rocks may need removing). Most of the anchors are fairly unimpacted though partially covered in mud. Two lines got their redundant anchors & the abalakov was replaced though no longer necessary (it was part of an experiment with releasable systems and it should be possible to downclimb now). Used the exit with fixed rope shortly before the bridge.

Still very good flow, but also a giant lake of deadwood (mostly small pieces, no problem to swim through). Some (minor) jumps need more careful checking than what you'd expect: underwater may hide wood/rock due to its configuration.
19.06.2025 Orlier Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Bit of an adventure canyon. Used a tree 2x to enter the stream. Anchors aging, some are natural anchors with recent Kordas, we added Ce4y ropes. One piece of webbing was strangling a tree, we cut it free. Added 1 bolt on top of a stuck boulder, lower it gets better. Final section: 3 abseils on the right bank (suddenly very slippery, keep right, out of the flow as soon as poss.), had to look for the final abseil which was hiding on the left bank, 65m. & full of rainbows.

A bit too much water, but then again, it had rained heavily for days. Water colour and the pools looked really good. Plenty of light penetrating the forest this time of year.
12.05.2025 Torrente Cunaz Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✔
Beautiful white limestone, nice atmosphere, though only 4 stars for the upper part with good water. Overall suprisingly well bolted, for high flow also ok, only one location obviously is a conflictive area with many damaged/missing anchors - newly drilled one M10 on the left bank, somewhat higher than the original lines (one damaged anchor right bank, or chock stones could also be usable in case of emergency).
08.05.2025 Masarei Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✔
Done upper+lower Mazarei after heavy rainfall ok to do, but only 3 stars for lower section where all water comes together and make it a short but fun descent in high water. Upper part only interesting to see the many streams joining and practice downclimbing + natural anchors. Comfortable path up to 880masl., but even on a well beaten path, mind the ticks.
26.04.2025 Roza de Garniga Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Descended from La Peschièra with no info on the canyon, surprised to find a nice waterfall right from the start. We discovered here an old (10-20 year) rope and also possibly some newer lower down. The scenic big waterfall we broke down in two, with an intermediate natural anchor left bank (triangulized & redundant). Shortly after starts a more sporty section with two anchors left bank halfway, but unfortunately the canyon loses interest in a jungle like atmosphere. Exited at the first building & trail down to the valley.
22.04.2025 Torrente Bianca (Trento) Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
2 cars recommended, walking up is not worth it. Simple abseilcanyon, super slippery despite recent rain, in lack of aesthetics apart from waterfalls & valley views. Reinstated one original line in the active (on a granite boulder instead of the cracked rock of the other line), but most anchors are as said, a mix of rusty chains & webbing on trees.

All ingredients are united for a new devastating flood/natural dam to build. To appreciate, one should do the top start (at the tunnel), notice the moving rocks and trees that have been cut and fallen/thrown into the river bed. If these rocks or trees are not there, it is best not to enter unprepared! Regarding the broken anchor: its location is in the flow, hence impossible to replace in a durable way. Let's try sth new. I've placed an abalakov/Sanduhr with 12mm drill in the most obvious location. When damaged or missing, it should be easier to replace than a broken bolt.

When Lizebar (the more fossile of the two) has water, Artazul will be impossible,... but an impressive arrival at the bottom of its last waterfall nonetheless. Some caution for the flooded exit on those days.
09.03.2025 Lizebar Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Lizebar has one of the most beautiful abseils in Spain, when active. Contrary to Artazul, most pools can NOT be jumped. Natural dam (due to storm + consecutive rain) as well as two dead animals. We continued for an all-time classic day with Diablozulo in the afternoon.

Done after Lizebar. Nice to do with water finally after a nightmarish experience years ago, bushwacking on the approach in May (catching 60+ ticks) fllw by dry canyon. Since the pandemic, the place is flooded with tourists, there is a trail going steeply up: left bank along a field to last waterfall, cross, traverse right bank 100m along another field untill new trail (cairn) right, little bushy at first, then steeper, slippery + fixed ropes, to the original trail, and finally to the large trail to the top. Half way is intermediate access.

Very scenic and sunny. Ice at the start, hence very cold and extra slippery. But very worthwhile. Impressive gorge through a line of uplifted limestone strats. Note: it can get windy, many fixed ropes (check their status) and currently at least 4 dead animals (goats, wild boar...).

04.02.2025 Rejia Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Open waterfalls + lush vegetation and a good hike-in from Tolox (one car or bike) via the Sendero de las Cascadas (2hrs) combining access to Horcajuelos & Reija (the latter has the higher & more attractive waterfall). Most anchors are hardware store 'cancamos' some of which can be downclimbed. In short only recommended if you are a fanatic hiker and appreciate a secluded mountainrange.
31.01.2025 Garganta Verde Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Other nearby canyons were overflowing so we decided on Garganta 24hrs after multiple days of rain. (10-20mm or more) it activated the upper part, the middle section has more of a tendency to filter the water. The 3rd part is a nice extra. Morning start is best for light conditions.
31.01.2025 Tajo de Ronda Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Haut Terminé ✕
Access closed due to building of a new walkway through the canyon. Looks like soon the canyon will have tourists going through it and looking on the canyoneers from above. Alternatively, and actually fairly attractive, is the via ferrata Tajo I (and II which is apparently closed but can be done descending in a loop). Water quality obviously very questionnable.
28.01.2025 Raja Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Can be descended fast or the technical way, with caving-style handlines. River bed has changed: gravel filled up the pools; no muddy passages. Only the last pool (can be accessed & assessed from the bridge too) was to be avoided (either via intermediate belay on the wall left or jumping the rocks in the pool itself). Hot spring after at +- 30°C is extra.

25.01.2025 Gil Cobo Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✕
Think long transitions and long shuttle. Start from area recreativa Gil Cobo (refuge is a little higher) by following the little stream. The lower P is among the olive trees (somewhat of 100m above the river bed, the last bit of forest road down is very steep and therefore best avoided in wet conditions especially and non 4x4 vehicle), upon exiting it is then best to hike up to the car, left 100m above on the opposite side. Legislation unsure.

Access trail is not that steep or hard as some mention. Also, we did not care to descend steeply into the gully, just followed the gentle hiking trail and left down into the river bed, all the while enjoying scenery and best hiking terrain. Grand finale in washed white limestone.
23.01.2025 Buitre Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Faible Terminé ✔
Currently accessed from lower P by Castril river, as the forest road is not maintained. Or easily with bike. Accessing the upper canyon is recommended, fixed roped are in place, it can be climbed up. Water disappears, and reappears at the grand finale (unavoidable).

Great descent to do in full with 2 cars and sunset on Teide on the return trip. We entered the canyon at 1450, exited 680. In the upper part a few natural anchors and spits (could be completed), lower part has been recently rebolted with extra 12mm steel anchors, on top of the glue-in bolts. We went through with machete + drill. Full descent takes 6-8hrs + car logistics.

Short version is described here, but the lower part is a very scenic-volcanic hike, with caves that may have been inhabited by the Guanches. It would be a shame to miss it. We continued until shortly before the highway, exited right to the secondary road + 5min of crosscountry to the highway exit and tunnel, which takes us back to the car at Cafeteria Los Roques (3-4hr) continuing to the beach would also be an option.

Done Orchilla inf. from El Frontón village with one car. Similar to the superiore, it can be combined with remote, but well bolted rockclimbs (25m. max). Orchilla inf. with exit along the Camino Real (before the 2 biggest drops) is possible with one 50m. Lower than this is said to be full of plants and bringing machete would be recommended, also two cars and bigger ropes (max. 44). Bolting not ideal but workable.

Water levels are stable, some pools are clean of gravel. Did another effort to remove damaged anchors, in total since i started with this +-40 anchors. Warning: 1 glue-in with ring (right bank, half-way the canyon) is broken, but still may be of use since this passage is practically downclimbable without aid. 3 hours for the full canyon in 3 persons.
16.10.2024 Kirchlbach Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Also this year, very late (October), large snowremains halfway and (this is new) also at the exit of the canyon, both impossible to go below. Alpine techniques are a must! Anchors: some of the single anchors deemed 'ok' by previous teams, are actually on hollow, fractured rock!! These are now doubled but should be evaluated carefully, possibly equalized or even relocated. I have taken out much of the non-stainless steel anchors and replaced with inox. Doubled or renewed others. At the end of the large snowfield halfway the canyon, there is an emergency anchor (high!) and a damaged anchor (low), both on the left. The snow seems to end at this location every year (i.e. just before the narrow part, where the canyon makes a bend and stops the snow), this emergency anchor may be useful for reentering the canyon. From this point onwards, high chances of rockfall, until the impressive grand finale with unreachable anchors (i added in 2023 a single M10 on the left, with exposed access but well-protected). I post the sequence here, for copying it to the file on Opencanyon: 2 bolts L 20m 1 bolt R 10m 2 bolts R 20m (original anchor on bad rock!) 1 bolt L 10m 1 bolt R 20m 2 bolts L 25m 1 bolt L 6m 1 bolt L 8m Emergency exit L Snowfield to traverse for 100-200m: emergency bolt L 20m (if snow still reaches the bend in the canyon), if the end of the snow is in sight before the bend in the canyon (a wall that stops the snow) descend with alpine techniques and find 1 bolt L 15m Narrow part, high chances of rockfall, 2 different bolts R 8-10m Stuck boulder, 1 bolt R 10m (damaged quicklink backed up with carabiner) 2 bolts R 16m 1 bolt R 18m Grand finale 1 bolt L 24m (the other anchors are, at present, unreachable) Possible second snowremains (building a higher wall than the first) possible emergency exit L 1 bolt L 10m Downclimb and exit

Wonderful Karwendeltour from Vomp. Almost dry in its upper part but recommended for its curvy shapes in compact, white limestone. To our joy we found most drops rebolted straight from the start, with single, generally well-placed glue-in bolts (8mm). The original anchors are still in place, but no longer used (all are missing quicklink). The lower section on the other hand is almost excessively equipped with chains and fixed ropes. We added one Tebylon anchor in the upper part where a hanger was missing (but the rock on this location was bad) otherwise the bolting is fine. With a minimal bolting kit, this canyon should be doable top-to-bottom. As the book says, an ice axe could be interesting early season. Vomper loch currently has more gravel than usual.

Simple abseilcanyon with views of the Vajont catastrophe. Done in between storms, little to no water. Recent anchors are single/double M8. One old anchor is M10. Watch out not to get rope stuck on a metal bar next to a single anchor halfway (left bank). 50m rope was just enough.

Further to the exploration of the upper Cima Montagna at 1400m, we added abalakovs, some (used) quicklinks, and anchor for the highest drop, max. 30m. There is no need to exit the canyon, all drops are covered. Further down we added a couple M10 anchors, but still some downclimbing and many single 8mm. To be completed. With Bosco Bello + Valmontina feels like 4 canyons from dry to big pools, and boulderhopping in between. Approach 1h45-2h30 on excellent trail 365.
16.08.2024 Torrente Valmontina Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
Recommended is the full descent: Zima Montagna-Bosco Bello-Valmontina with start at 1400. For lovers of long days. From Bosco Bello onwards it is obvious how devastating these floods are. I.e. lots of boulders, walking, downclimbing but luckily also swimming, jumping, sliding. Final anchor in Valmontina is missing (we leave some emergency rope) but it can be overcome with a small jump from the boulder. Exit right bank up the scree, through the forest goes a small trail to the parking.

09.07.2024 Rio Marodia (superiore) Jeroen Kirchner ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normale Terminé ✔
We entered quite high (around 1800masl) to descend on scree at first. Possibly a faster access to the good part exists on the orographic right bank, but according to one of our team members this trail is unfortunately unpassable with fallen trees. The canyon fills up nicely with water from the many karstic sources and good rock allows for pools, which offered jumps, slides and nice abseils. Albeit a little warning for trees or rocks that may be hidden in the pools. We bolted everything new with M10 anchors. We did not commit to the lower part on this day.

DC- which is always plenty/too much to enter the pool at the bottom of the c65, easily avoidable via right bank, using the 3 intermediate belays, last one is a tree on a ledge. First anchor is mono-point, rest is double. The canyon would be nicer if the waterfall could be descended in the active, but this is dangerous (hence signs on top). More info & topography on website of Canyon of Dolomites agency. A fast return to upper P is possible, interesting if only 1 car, but near impossible to find.

First anchor is mono-point, rest is double. The canyon would be nicer if the waterfall could be descended in the active, but this is dangerous (hence signs on top).

The new anchors and handlines make Grigno safer but also longer to descend as you have to install all of them. 8 to 10 carabiners will be needed. We did the approach on foot which was quite long, with parts of the path destroyed (and officially closed) due to rockfall (also noticeable in the canyon). Flow was normal with 1.7 to 2.36m3/s.

All anchors ok, flow still very nice for the time of year, things get interesting from the 2nd abseil with some beautiful longer ones. To complete the day with nearby canyons.

We entered on top at around 1400m. by following the 365 trail. We did not find any equipment in this upper part and descended from natural anchors (left some fixed rope, but not everywhere...) first part was dry. Feels like we did 4 canyons in one day. Unfortunately many abseils are equipped below standard with single 8mm :(

Unattractive forest canyon, ending at the electricity plant. A higher entrance exists, but it should take strength & motivation to complete.

The mix of anchors all ok, one of the last ones is a chain behind the corner a step down from the old 2 spits with rope (best not to miss the chain obviously) flow still considerable for the time of year. Done after Ciol del Pes

Water colour is greyish, somewhat muddy from the dam. Large landslide avoided on the right, abseiled from a tree back into the canyon. Hooks in place, looks like climbers. Added a few more to complete the decent.

Removed some wood from the canyon and opened a new aquatic line half way through the canyon. Conditions were perfect, a bit lower than the opening year 2021 (but higher than in 2022), it would seem the source depends on melting water (hence: more snow, late in the year = bigger flow, throughout summer)

Having done all tours in the area, i was curious about the smaller canyons that are nowhere described. To my surprise there was no anchors, i completed the tour on abalakov or downclimb.
