Located in Val Ceresio, northeast of Varese, this creek is great throughout the whole season. Between the waterfalls, we find long stretches of walk where the characteristic red porphyry of Cuasso al Monte stands out. A legend says that the best tobogan of the Prealpi Varesine area is hidden in this canyon...

Downstream: in Cuasso al Piano you can park in Via Repubblica 46, in the parking lots on the right side of the road, coming from Bisuschio immediately after the bridge under which the stream flows. Upstream: drive along the Provincial Road 29 towards Alpe Tedesco. Pass the village of Cuasso al Monte, and arrive in of Cavagnano. Park the car in the spaces in front of the cemetery.

From the parking lot of the cemetery take the adjacent Via Campagnola that, after 200 meters ends in a path, then intersect a country road leading directly to the stream. Always go straight to each branch, be careful not to follow the signs to the waterfall, because they would take you to the lower part of this. The canyon begins near a beautiful medieval bridge built with the local red porphyry.

After the last descent continue in the riverbed until you get to the houses. The exit remains on the right. You must go up the slope passing next to an old abandoned wash-house, going down between the houses in a street which then leads directly to the cars parked on the provincial road.

A small hydroelectric plant is under construction. No problems seems to be present for canyoners.
