Sintesi:
Very beautiful alpine canyon with massive pools that you wouldn't expect at this altitude. Partially narrow gorge with a lot of water.
Accesso:
From Chironico, follow the road "in vall" all the way to the end. Parking lot with numerous spaces.
Avvicinamento (45 min):
At the end of the road, follow the faint trail that crosses the landslide and climbs up on the right into a gorge between tall rock walls. After the first section of the gorge, fixed cables allow you to climb up on the left. Cross the pine forest until you reach the bridge that marks the start of the canyon.
Giro (3 h):
The descent of this canyon should be planned as a serious undertaking. The final rappel is divided into 25m - 80m sections. C6 (1 right) C30 (MC 1 right + 1 right) C30 (MC 1 right + 1 right) C10 (1 left) C40 (2 left) C25 (2 rigth) C25 (MC 2 rigth + 2 right) C80 (2 right)
Ritorno (15 min):
Continue in the river bed to the start of the middle section (10-15 min), or climb up the landslide on the left to return to the road.
