Avvicinamento: From the parking lot, follow the clearly visible path to the weir. Approx. 50m before the dam, go through the Leale and change to the ortographic right. Here you can immediately recognize the clearly visible climbing tracks that lead up to the ortographic right. Follow the path up to the dam wall. Then follow the Leale upstream for about 5 minutes until you reach the canyon exit. A well-trodden path begins here on the ortographic left, which initially leads steeply upwards. Follow the path ortographic left up the Leale for about 25 minutes and then you come directly to the streambed of the Leale. Once in the streambed, continue upstream along the pools dug deep into the rock until the Riu dal Boschet joins the Leale on the ortographic left. Here you switch back to the ortographic right and continue upstream until you recognize climbing tracks that lead uphill. Follow the path, which is partly marked with blue and white markings and mostly slippery, steeply uphill. Always keep to the right towards Leale, as paths branch off to the left here that do not lead to the entry point. After another 10-15 minutes, the path branches off to the right down to the streambed. If you follow the path, you will also come to the streambed after approx. 50m, where you have to rope down from a tree (not recommended).
Giro: Once you reach the streambed, you will immediately see a dark turquoise pool that has been drilled into the rock. This is the first 3m jump where you come into contact with the fresh water of the Leale. Be careful if you are not jumping but downclimbing. There is a siphon above the jump from which you definitely cannot get out and which is only visible from above if you look closely. If you jump into the Leale, you don't need to worry about the siphon because the pool is exactly the exit from the siphon. Another 1m step follows, which can be jumped very carefully with an ass bomb - because of stones in pools, as well as another jump into the pool. You come to the first rappel (SOS10) located ortographic left at the top. This is the first challenge, as you are forced to enter the often very strong water jet at the bottom, which flows into a turbulent pool. Caution: there are also stones in the pool. The best thing to do here is to try to rope in behind the water jet and then go around the water jet to the left or right. The SOS10 abseil point can be seen from the entry. If you already have the feeling at the entry that there is a lot of water in the canyon, it is recommended that at least one person waits at the entry to set up a rope for an emergency ascent in an emergency. This is followed by a nice swimming passage that leads to a rappel or 8m jump. And then the upper part - which is absolutely worthwhile - is over. You follow the Leale again for 200m and pass the mouth of the Rio dal Boschet. If you have already had problems with the water in the upper part, or if a group member has been overwhelmed, you should leave the canyon here on the ortographic left, where you came to the streambed before! The lower part has rappels that must be done in the water, is heavily incised and has no emergency exits or areas where you can get to safety from the water. The lower part begins with a 6m rappel and after a short climbing and swimming passage, the canyon narrows. You come to the 18m abseil, which must be done in the water. The rappel cannot be seen from the belay. After a small swimming section, you come to a small step (SOS 6), which can also be downclimbed. This is followed by one of the most spectacular sections in the Leale. The abseil point SOS5 is located ortographic left, very exposed and can only be reached by climbing on slippery rock. There are some glued anchors that you should definitely use and which serve to set up a rope traverse. Once you have reached the rappel, you continue with what is probably the most spectacular rappel. The water rushes through a very narrow channel and you have to manage to get out ortographic left of the step with a little rappel skill in order to continue rappelling from the step. You can use some stones as handholds to get out. This section is challenging because if you lose your balance here, you will end up directly in the concentrated water jet, which you don't want to get into! After a small swimming area, you come to a rock ramp where, with a little searching, you will find the 2 glued anchors for setting up the rope traverse. After setting up the rope traverse to the 6m downclimb (SOS4), you come to a narrow water channel, which you have to downclimb by spreading out. After a small swimming section, you come to the abseiling point (SOS3), which can be completed dry. If there is not too much water here, you can also go directly to the edge where the water rushes down from here and jump into the pool. The next abseil point is on the right, very high up. A glued anchor helps with the ascent. You come to the last abseil point, which is located by a large clamping block. If there is little water in the canyon, you can go to the chain anchor (ortographic left), which is located directly at the clamping block. Caution: here you are bound to come into the powerful water jet! If there is more water, you should go under the clamping block and use the chain anchor with the SOS1 badge. This is a bit exposed, but you can get into the water jet further down and can avoid it by spreading out. Once you are in the pool, the last swim section follows through a wonderful dark narrow section. Once you are out of the swimming section, the canyon opens up and you are exactly at the point where you went steeply upwards on the ortographic left during access. As with the access, follow the Leale for about 5 minutes until you reach the dam wall again, which can also be jumped with a courageous leap.

Accesso: From Tolmezzo, take the S512 main road towards Cavazzo --> continue past the lake --> after the lake, turn right towards Alesso -->from Alesso, continue towards Avasinis --> after crossing Torrente Leale, turn right at the first opportunity --> the dirt road leads to the stream where you can check the water level. The water should not walk more than 1/3 of the width and not more than 2-3cm (in height) over the shoring(see photo for estimation, at this water level the canyon is aquatic but doable without problems) After the water level check you cross the creek --> at the exit of the gravel road you park the car at the edge of the forest. (N46.299787, E13.041642)
Ritorno: Just follow the path to the parking lot as you did for access.

2025-09-27: Water level normal, anchors all in order, great upper part! Also in the Alba still super jumps in emerald green pools. Time with 5 people from car to car approx. 6h
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot at the signpost, follow the forest road to the fork. Here you continue on the left until you reach the reservoir in about 15 minutes. Arrived at the reservoir with the emerald green water, look for an inconspicuous path on the orographic left side (about 10m before the dam wall), which you follow into the forest. After a few meters of altitude, the path flattens out. White/blue markings serve for orientation, whereby the further course from the path is well recognizable. Attention. The path is partly very exposed and leads in about 1 hour over several ditches and a small bridge to the dam wall or entry of the Tralba Inferiore. Entrance altitude approx. 700Hm.
Giro: Arrived at the dam wall should first be checked the amount of water before you dare the first approx. 12m jump into the cold water (rappel also possible). The next place is then rappelled. Continuously and aquatic it goes on. Several jumps, slides and abseils alternate before you reach the impressive double abseil. Here, at the latest, you feel the power of the water. During the upcoming 25m rappel, you can also rappel 20m and jump 5m from an edge that is not visible from above. The second 30m rappel follows immediately afterwards, whereby the right hand side is very exposed. After the very aquatic double rappel comes the less aquatic part of the tour. One climbs about 20min. over boulders, before one comes to the next dry rappelling point. After that follows another 20 minute downclimb and walking section before you come to the last rappel and the Rio Alba (Attention: The penultimate rappel is again directly in the watercourse and should not be underestimated!).

Avvicinamento: From the car park walk down to the waterfalls. Start of the obstacles is near the picnic bench and a broken down viewing platform. Left of this viewing platform we can use the tree for abseiling into the first obstacle and find a first bolt left bank, as an intermediate anchor, from which an ideal access is given to the geyser.
Giro: 01 - natural anchor on the tourist trail, left bank, 10m from a tree to a ledge (1p. only) 02 - 7m abseil, left bank, from a bolt on the ledge (exposed, 1p. only) into a waterjet-geyser (impressive when source is active) If the water is overflowing on all sides of this obstacle, the canyon is in high flow/overflowing. (01 & 02 are avoidable, but recommended to test the strength of the waterflow) 03 - 8m abseil, from a natural anchor, right bank, 8m, into a Niagara-pool, can be partially avoided by abseiling left bank from a natural anchor. 04 - 6m left bank, before the bridge, bolt 05 - 5m right bank, directly under the bridge, bolt. If high flow, then the rocks in the pool may be easily mistaken for white water, careful in the reception. 06 - 7m right bank, into a turbulent pool, bolt (possible jump, not verified) 07 - 9m left bank, into a pool with water movement, bolt + ring Hanging pool with tourist viewpoint on the right (possible escape) First option. Dry line to the left. 08 - downclimb, left bank, to a bolt + ring, followed by a 12m abseil 09 - To a bolt, left bank, 16m abseil Second option. Aquatic line to the right: 08 - climb up, right bank, to a natural anchor, abseil 18m or 16 + 2m jump (not verified) 09 - 20m abseil, right bank, from a bolt, down the double waterfall 10 - downclimb the sloping right bank, 5m 11 - traverse up a ledge, to a bolt, left bank (Or jump/slide into a small pool with water movement, not verified) 12 - Mc, from a bolt, to a bolt + ring (far, slightly ascending), left bank to avoid the small pool 13 - 5m abseil, left bank, from a bolt + ring Possible games in the small pool with water movement 14 - abseil from a bolt + ring, left bank, 15m across 2 small pools Exit of the canyon, right bank

Arzino (inferiore): Inizio del canyon
Commento: (cwiki_1)
Avvicinamento: From the bridge over the Arzino you can go directly to the streambed of the Arzino river. If you want to go the canyon from the top, you go over the bridge and then go upstream for about 10min. But there is only one 5m jump and some downclimb. The topographic view here shows the Arzino from the bridge.
Giro: Tour description: about 2,5h The Arzino is a relatively long river that drains a very large area, into which some accessible canyons flow and which finally flows into the Tagliamento. The Arzino is also navigated by kayak and is divided into parts 1-4. This part of the river was named "Arzino 0" by the first climbers, because it is located above the kayak part 1 (see Canyoning Wiki). Arzino 0 can really only be climbed after a long dry season, because it has a lot of water even in dry summers! The closest gauge station of the Arzino to the canyoning route is called "Arzino, S.Francesco Idro". During our ascent the level was 79cm and at this level the ascent was no problem. The Arzino 0 should only be climbed by people who have both white water experience (because of the extremely turbulent pools and currents), and are very safe when rappeling, because you have to be really careful not to get into the water, because the water flow is enormous and you can not withstand the water pressure! Directly after the bridge at the entry follows a small walking passages of about 100m, before it becomes narrower and you are in front of a slot with strong current and white water. Here is an anchor on the or. right side, which you should also use to safely rope the 2m into the current. Immediately thereafter follows the first challenging place: or. left are 3 pitons to build a rope traverse to be able to rappel the 10 m from the last piton. If you already have problems at this point or see that there is too much water to continue the canyon, you can get out after swimming through the pool. Next is a 5-meter jump into a turbulent deep pool, followed by a swim section and a 5-meter rappel section that also opens into a turbulent pool. After a short swim, the canyon opens again and you come to a place with 3 small conifers and a dry tributary or.left on which you can see a bridge of SP1 above. Here is the next possibility for the emergency exit. One of the trees was used and described by the first climbers for rappeling into the extremely turbulent channel. However, this spot seemed too dangerous and so during our ascent or. left. 3 pitons were drilled to set up a rope traverse, so that the channel can be bypassed and rappel directly into the turbulent pool. Those who like to jump can rappel only 5m and jump from the ledge 5m into the pool. ATTENTION, however, in the pool: Directly after the pool follows the next abseil point or. left, which you must first reach! The current here is quite strong! If there were already problems with the current before, the person who ropes into the pool must be secured from above in order not to be washed over the step and to be able to reach the belay safely. Current + partly slippery place! Once you have reached the stand, another 10m rappel and a swim section follows. After a small walking passage follows the impressive highlight of the canyon: a 28m rappel or. left from a tree - but be careful! From above you can't see directly where the rope ends and whether you pass next to the waterfall or not. During our ascent it was no problem, but if the first person to rappel realizes that you can't pass the waterfall, you have to stop the rappel immediately and climb up! The waterfall creates an incredible pressure here and should you get into the water, you have real problems. You have the possibility to stop the tour at the walking passages before the 28m rappel. If you can rappel past the waterfall, you will find yourself at the most impressive spot of the tour where you can experience the pure power of the water up close. There follows a small swimming spot and a 40-minute river walk before you see or. left the gravel field of the Riu Rugoni and you arrive here directly at the bridge at the parking lot of the shuttle car.

Accesso: In Tolmezzo turn onto the SR 512 in the direction of Verzegnis; Immediately after the large bridge over the Tagliamento turn right in the direction of Verzegnis onto the SP1; On the SP1 you now remain for 18.2 km: Here you go past Verzegnis relatively long uphill, over the "mountain pass" and then downhill again; after about 14km you come to some hairpin bends (village of Pozzis), then follows a grade through two small stone tunnels, before you after 18km you come to 2 hairpin bends. Immediately after the 2nd hairpin bend (50m) a forest road leaves to the right and leads to the bridge over the Arzino. Either drive down here and park the car directly at the bridge or drive about 100m further and park at the parking lot directly at the SP1. At the bridge is also the entry to the tour. The shuttle car is parked about 1.3 km further down the SP1, directly after crossing the bridge of the Rio Rugoni. The Rio Rugoni is unmissable because it is a huge gravel field that flows into the Arzino.

Avvicinamento: From the parking lot near the church, walk uphill on the opposite side of the asphalt road and you will immediately reach the small cemetery of Roveredo. Here, to the right of the cemetery, a clearly visible path leads up into the woods. Follow this path until you reach a small meadow with a house. Pass the house on the right and go up through the meadow. Above the house near the forest you should meet the path again. Follow the path steeply uphill until you reach hiking trail 424 after about 20 - 25 min. Follow the trail to the right. After about 1h ascent come some ruins and a little higher (at about 760m) at a fork in the road a small cross on the side of the path. Here you follow the right now narrow and sloping path for about 30min. which leads directly to the entry at about 630m (one crosses initially a small stream and passes later shortly before the access still a large rock roof )-->!!!at the access no stones loosereten.
Giro: Arrived at the entry at about 630m you can already see the first pool with crystal clear water but no pitons --> at this point is often jumped, but can also be downclimbed --> this is already followed by the next steps in narrow canyons --> the next belaystation is on the rock right. hidden at the top --> here either 15m directly into the pool or downclimb over a ledge 20m to the next belaystation --> immediately after 10m in the overhang into the pool --> short open gorge section --> walk --> downclimb to the belaystation on the left side before big clamping block R5+S3 in pools below the big clamping block --> after the big clamping block the canyon becomes narrow for a longer time --> many small drops follow which can be downclimbed, jumped or rappelled depending on the water level. Between the bends there are some short walking passages (swimming passages) in impressive surroundings (high canyon walls) --> at a prominent point the canyon makes a 90° left bend here you can rappel to the right (hidden stance) or jump directly 6m --> after a few minutes the first higher approx.20m rappel from a big rock -->and a sunny open spot where you have a steep emergency exit on the right --> open it continues to the 15m rappel on the right or jump --> longer walking and climbing passage in open terrain to the next belaystation far to the right outside --> a short walking passages follows before you reach the highest rappel of about 30m (li.) --> the canyon gets narrower again before it finally opens up --> several walking and climbing sections have to be overcome before you reach the last rappel points --> here you can jump 8m or rappel 10m depending on the water level --> there is another slippery sloping rock slab that can be partly descended or rappelled --> after the ramp it goes right about 1km over a flat streambed to the bridge at about 300m.

Commento: Rio Simon Ausstiegsparkplatz - Keine Wertsachen im Auto lassen, es wurden bereits Autos aufgebrochen
Accesso: approx. 15min From Carnia take the SS13 (main road) in the direction of Tarvisio. About 3km after the village Resiutta there is a small tunnel and a bridge over the Fella river. After the bridge turn left and drive in the direction of Roveredo. After a short time there is a bigger road bridge where you can see a big flat streambed. Here is the exit if you want to go through the whole Rio Simon. It is best to leave the cars here, as there are only a few parking spaces further up in the village, which are rather intended for locals (N46.398500/E013.263400). If you are going to cut, follow the road to the small village of Roveredo with as few cars as possible. In the last few years an access has been established and for this it is best to park at the small church of Roveredo. But ATTENTION! The Rio Simon is one of the most frequented canyons in Friuli and we do not want to disturb the inhabitants. Therefore, please always ask and, if necessary, if there are already too many cars at the parking lot, switch to one of the parking lots that you passed before when approaching the village of Roveredo. (N46.387213/E013.252620) or nearby if it is too busy. Please be considerate of the inhabitants so that we can continue to visit this canyon for a long time without problems.
Ritorno: Right before the bridge to the shuttle car or walk along the road for about 2km to the 2nd car at exit path 424.

Accesso: approx. 15min From Carnia take the SS13 (main road) in the direction of Tarvisio. About 3km after the village Resiutta there is a small tunnel and a bridge over the Fella river. After the bridge turn left and drive in the direction of Roveredo. After a short time there is a bigger road bridge where you can see a big flat streambed. Here is the exit if you want to go through the whole Rio Simon. It is best to leave the cars here, as there are only a few parking spaces further up in the village, which are rather intended for locals (N46.398500/E013.263400). If you are going to cut, follow the road to the small village of Roveredo with as few cars as possible. In the last few years an access has been established and for this it is best to park at the small church of Roveredo. But ATTENTION! The Rio Simon is one of the most frequented canyons in Friuli and we do not want to disturb the inhabitants. Therefore, please always ask and, if necessary, if there are already too many cars at the parking lot, switch to one of the parking lots that you passed before when approaching the village of Roveredo. (N46.387213/E013.252620) or nearby if it is too busy. Please be considerate of the inhabitants so that we can continue to visit this canyon for a long time without problems.
Ritorno: Right before the bridge to the shuttle car or walk along the road for about 2km to the 2nd car at exit path 424.

Rio Del Mulin Chiusaforte: Inizio del canyon
2026-02-01: Wonderful in winter because completely south-facing. Stands could do with a reservation in the next 3 years but no problem.
2025-03-30: Very nice after the rain of the last few days. All stands ok. At the moment you have to be a bit careful in the region because the oak processionary moths are coming out of their nests...

Avvicinamento: From the parking lot go left towards the houses below the visible waterfall (Rio Belepeit). Here, however, not directly to the waterfall but on the road further up to the last white house (No. 25). An inconspicuous path passes the liquid gas tank on the right in front of the house and leads shortly to the small concrete bridge (exit Rio del Mulin). After the bridge, the trail climbs more steeply. At the point where yellow markings (arrows) become visible, follow the easily overlooked path over the ridge of the forest (do not follow the yellow markings. These lead to the last part of the Rio del Mulin) up to path 425. Follow the path until the fork. Here continue up steeply on the right via trail 426 (do not follow blue markers to Rio Belepeit). After a few steep switchbacks, the trail flattens out. Here it is also possible to descend or enter the already visible stream. Entrance altitude approx. 780m.
Giro: Shortly after the entry at about 780m comes the first step where you can rappel left over a tree. After that comes a longer walking and descending section over boulder terrain. The next 2 smaller steps can ideally also be slid. This is followed by an approx. 18m high rappel in the watercourse. After the waterfall comes a short walking section that leads to a sloping crevasse. Here you rappel to the left to the Zwisschenstand in the crevice and then immediately continue to rappel into a pool. After a small jump comes a 10m step. A short walking and abseiling section leads to the 1st high waterfall of about 60m. Here either rappel right from the tree directly in the waterfall or after about 15m use the intermediate stand on the right. After that there is a rappel (20m) left from the tree into a shallow pool. After this step you meet the hiking trail 425. With a beautiful view of the Kanaltal you abseil left about 15m from a tree into a pool which is before the high 50m abseil point. Here you rappel from a tree loop on the right. After the rappel there is a step which is divided again. Here you have after about 15m an intermediate stand (danger of pendulum!) to then rappel further about 20m. A short downclimb and walking passage follows, which leads to the last high waterfall of about 55m (! sharp edge) (before the waterfall you meet the path with the yellow markings on the left). After rappeling from the tree loop on the left, you are almost at the access path/concrete bridge at approx. 420m.

2024-08-30: With the current water level, the tour was perfect. We were briefly undecided, as no water chutes at the exit. However, this only seeps away at the very end, making it a wonderful walk. Stands are go...
Avvicinamento: Cross the bridge and go down on the ortographic left. Side over the embankment down. The Picchions is narrow in certain passages, so check the water under the bridge. Reference picture see attachment - at this water level the walk is no problem.
Giro: Arrived in the streambed of the Picchion first follows a somewhat longer walking passages, before it then goes blow-on-blow. The first rappel is from a chain or. right, which is attached to a tree. Immediately after follows a relatively aquatic rappel, which can also be jumped after prior testing. This is followed by a 20m rappel which can be reached or. left via a rope traverse. The rappel leads down into a pool with a return, which must be swum through with ropes before the remaining 3m can be rappelled. If the return is strong, it is recommended to rope up to the next stall so that the pool can be bypassed. Another 20m rappel follows, which can be dry rappelled either from a chain anchor in the water or over a rope traverse to a single hook - which is actually meant to serve as a redirect. This was the short, narrow part of the Picchion. You reach the exit of the Picchion after about an hour. After that, from or. right, the Vinadia enters the canyon and it becomes a bit more open again. After about 5 min walking in the streambed follows a very narrow and dark part of the Vinadia. About 300m lasts the very dark and beautiful part, which must be partially swum through. Now follows a relatively strenuous descending part in a more open environment. Here a few bolts would not have hurt, but you look for them in vain. Here you partly meet an old via ferrata, which helps with the downclimb. When the canyon narrows again, one comes to several large boulders, where it is mandatory to use the former via ferrata. In this part the belays are rather moderate (rusty single nails). A 22m rappel or. right into a relatively dark part ends the cut part and it becomes successively more open again. Walking, downclimbing and swimming passages follow, interrupted by a smaller rappel and jump. Partly a body belay is recommended to secure inexperienced downclimbers. After about 3h the canyon becomes a bit narrower again and you come to the water drainage, which can be used as an exit if necessary via the shaft (see special features) after a previous grid check. The exit of the upper part of Vinadia (Vinadia I, incl. Picchions) is reached after about 3h. Now follows the beautiful lower part of Vinadia (Vinadia II). Crystal clear water, which you would not expect after the derivation, paired with several small rappels, which can be partially jumped. Unique scenery as the canyon narrows to as little as a meter in places with about 100m-150m walls above you. After several small rappels with jumps paired with swims, walks and climbs, you come to the highest rappel in the canyons: a 30m rappel from a chain anchor. Partially, in the lower part, the former via ferrata must be used as anchor. For almost 2h you are in the narrow part, where you have practically no possibility to get out or get to safety. In June or July in stable weather, however, sensational, as light also penetrates to the bottom of the canyon again and again. A somewhat longer walking passage, where the canyon becomes increasingly open, ends one of the most scenic canyons in Friuli. The dry streambed can be left or. left on a gravel road that leads to the former stone custom.

Avvicinamento: From the parking lot, cross the SS13 at the crosswalk and turn left into the road to Villanova. After about 100m you come to a small crossroads where you can already see the sign "Cascata Rio Belepeit" at the yellow house. Follow the signs to the right between the houses. After about 50 m you pass under a bridge, where above the former railroad line - now a bike path - goes along. Here you can see the final waterfall of the Rio Belepeit. Immediately after the bridge, steps lead up to the bike path, at the top you go over the bridge through the small tunnel to the north. Immediately after the tunnel, the well-marked path leads uphill to the left (red arrow). Follow the clearly visible path steeply uphill until after about 2-3 minutes you reach a road with a small parking lot with a white house (possible parking lot Rio Mulin). The marked path leads to the left at the white house over the terrace - directly after the house you can see the red markings again - which you follow past the slope constructions until you come to Rio Belepeit (directly above the last rappel). ATTENTION: DO NOT follow the red markings over the Rio Belepeit, but go about 50m or. left along the stream and only here cross the Rio Belepeit and follow the hiking trail. Follow this path for about 15-20 minutes uphill past the white wayside shrine. Don't get confused by the fact that you are far away from the Rio Belepeit, because the path goes south without serpentines. You will then meet the well-marked trail "425" at a concrete wall. Follow the path against the red arrow markings in a northerly direction - towards the Rio Belepeit. You follow the path "425" for about 10 min on a flat, partly slightly sloping track, before you directly meet the Rio Belepeit. Here at about 500Hm you can already see the first rappel (blue-white canyoning marking).
Giro: At the entry at about 500 hm, where the path 425 crosses the Rio Belepeit, you can see the first rappel (blue-white canyoning marking) immediately after about 10m or. right. After 2 smaller rappels the big beautiful rappel cascade begins. At a good chain anchor or right the cascade begins. You rappel for about 40m and then find the next chain anchor on the right, outside the water. Then it goes down for another 40m before you arrive at a shallow pool.

Rio Lavarie: Inizio del canyon
2026-02-20: Dreamlike - night inspection 😀
Avvicinamento: At the barrier on the left side of the road begins the descending path which you follow to the streambed (old bridge wall)--> entry at approx. 450Hm. If you want to get on foot, cross the Rio Lavarie on the cycle path. Immediately afterwards, follow the lush red color markings to a power pole (steep), then even steeper over footprints up the ridge until you stand in front of a rock face with a chain and step clamps. Climb up here and continue steeply to the ridge. Turn left on a fairly good path until it is overgrown, just before this turn diagonally left following the footpaths and cairns to the normal access path to Lavarie. 30-40min
Giro: Arrived at the streambed, after a short walking passages you come to the first step that can be downclimbed on the left. After that, in a narrowing canyon, comes the 1st short rappel point followed by a not visible about 35m high rappel point which is best reached via a removable traverese rope left. After this rappel point, the mostly incised part of the canyon begins. Small twists, steps and a 5m rappel occur in this part. At the end of the 100m narrow section, the canyon opens again briefly. You come to a 5m step that can be rappelled or slid. Here you also meet the right tributary Rio Barbar. Continue with rappel in the water stream, first 15m left, then about 10m right. After that you have several possibilities to rappel. In case of strong water flow you should stretch a traverese rope across the chute to the hidden piton on the left side, then rappel outside the water flow for about 30m to the lower chain anchor on the right. From the chain anchor it goes without visual contact, either 25m to the right intermediate belaystation or a good 40m to a belaystation on the left with a traverese rope (! the traverese rope together with the bolthook is often destroyed by the water). The final rappel on the left has about 30m or on the right from the intermediate belaystation about 40m. After the final waterfall you walk a short distance along the streambed to a large rock step which you climb down on the right. After the 1st bridge the tour ends at about 270Hm.

Accesso: Coming from Carnia, take the SS13 in the direction of Tarvisio. About 1,5 km after the Hotel Carnia, at a left turn (km 172) and after the brown sign "Moggio Udinese" you will find on the right side a parking possibility at the exit of the canyon. . You can shorten the access by taking a second car to Stavoli Ravorade. With the second car you go back towards Carnia (Udine). After the traffic junction at Carnia, cross a bridge with tracks underneath. Shortly after, you should turn left towards Tugliezzo, but this is not possible because of the barrier line, so you have to turn right towards Carnia. At the exit turn right and follow this road stopping on the left (goes under the SS13 road) at the crossroads go straight on towards Tugliezzo. An asphalted road winds up next to the huge gravel field towards the few houses of Tugliezzo. After the houses on the plateau, the road descends with a sharp bend to the right, passing a barrier and the bridge that crosses the Rio Lavarie. For the Rio Lavarie it is best to park the car after the bridge at the left gravel place. If you want to go the right tributary (Rio Barbar) of the Lavarie so you look a little further up just before another bridge, where there is a large boulder field (strong left bend), a parking possibility.
Ritorno: Before the 2nd bridge you climb right out of the streambed. In a short time you will reach the parking lot.

Rio Macile (Rio Brussine): Inizio del canyon
2026-04-11: Everything OK, not extremely slippery and less water than expected.
2025-10-20: As the Cuestis had hardly any water today, we quickly changed tack and did the Macile! Fun as always, perfect water level, all jumps and slides doable! For two car-car 2h15 min
2025-09-26: Entry jump and subsequent slide very fun, 60m final waterfall also spectacular. Everything was superiore, nice tour!
Avvicinamento: After the bends, a path starts on the right which is marked with a wooden sign "Rio Macile" including canyoning markings. The path first leads slightly downhill parallel to path 638 -> you cross a streambed and then it goes slightly uphill again over the ridge before you then go slightly downhill (insured downhill with barrier tapes) (approx. 520Hm). to the streambed of the Macile/Brussine directly before the first rappel/jump point. The path was newly created by the AIC in fall 2021 and is the fastest and most ergonomic access to the Rio Macile. Fast walkers can easily complete the access in under 30 minutes.
Giro: The first spot (SOS 12) is a rappel (C10), but can usually also be jumped. You can also rappel at SOS 11, but it is also an extremely fun slide that is actually always possible (as of April 2024). The canyon narrows visibly. A few smaller abseils follow. At SOS 8, the last escape route is on the right. This is followed by several smaller abseils, some of which must be completed in the water. The final section is a 60m rappel that leads directly into the Fella riverbed. If no 60m ropes are available, you can exit to the left after the last narrow section and descend via an embankment and stone channel.

Accesso: From Chiusaforte drive in the direction of Sella Nevea. Park on the left immediately after crossing the Raccolana (space for 1 car), or in the village beforehand. From Carnia, take the SS13 towards Tarvisio --> at the exit of the village of Chiusaforte, turn right towards "Sella Nevea"/Raccolana --> follow the road straight ahead --> before the bridge over the Raccolana stream, turn right into a road that leads to a large parking lot. When you reach the embankment at Racolana, turn left and stand at the exit of the parking lot -> there are steps leading up the embankment and down to the streambed of the Raccolana. The way back through the riverbed of the Fella and the Raccolana is a good way out.
Ritorno: Follow the Fella upstream until the Raccolana stream flows into the Fella. Cross the streambed of the Raccolana and continue upstream to the right until you reach the concrete steps (about 50m before the bridge over the Raccolana).

Avvicinamento: Follow hiking trail 450 to the NE. This part of the climb was still officially closed in 2026, but can and is still used. The official route remains on the road for 60 meters and then leads down to the old path. Soon afterwards, at a crossroads, turn NE into the mostly dry streambed of the Rio Alba. Cross the stream and follow the path into the Rio Fondaris valley without gaining or losing much altitude. At a cairn or a little further on, branch off from the hiking trail on a hunters path marked with blue dots and cairns that leads into the valley of the Rio Fondaris. Follow this path and descend into the streambed just before the gorge begins (a path branches off to the left 50m before)
Giro: The gorge cuts in quickly. 10m from anchor on the right (tree obstacle) 2.5m slide or rappel from jammed tree 12m from anchor on the right Short downclimb 5m from anchor left 3m jump 30m from 2 anchors on the right 2m jump or rappel from anchor right 3m rappel from anchor left (possibly jumpable but tree in underwater) 10m rappel from anchor left, jumpable Short downclimb, cross a wild hunters path secured with wire rope ladders 3m rappel from anchor right 5m rappel from anchor left, pool jumpable from the step below 20m rappel from anchors on the left, best to belay from above

In total you have to climb about 40-50m to reach a crossing path marked with blue dots and cairns. Follow this path to the SE. The beautiful path crosses a landslide zone (ignore the old belays and bypass above instead) and then crosses through steep forest interspersed with rocks in about 15 minutes to a crossroads. Here take the path marked with pink dots to the right. You soon reach an abandoned hut (Case Foramiz), here only a short ascent on the forest road to the lower parking lot. You could also try descending along the streambed of the Rio Alba, but this part has not (yet) been climbed and would be an adventure in its own right.

2025-09-09: In very nice condition. Made before Malinberg.
Avvicinamento: Behind the church, hiking trail 620 with the sign "Patoc" branches off to the left of the road --> follow this path, initially slightly uphill and then slightly downhill from a small wayside shrine to the stream --> the last few meters you walk parallel to the canyon to a stone bridge at approx. 550Hm --> the entry for the lower part of the canyon is directly to the right after the stone bridge.
Giro: The Rio Patoc is a short, interesting canyon, which can be very tricky at higher water levels as most of the short rappels are directly in the watercourse --> in the upper part of the "Patoc inferiore" some places can be bypassed or downclimbed --> the lower part of the canyon is more incised and technically more demanding --> here is also the highest rappel point of approx. 15m --> between the rappels there are only a few walking passages --> after a small chute and waterfall the tour suddenly ends --> after approx. 100m you pass under the railway/motorway bridge and in front of the Fella river (approx. 400m). meters you stand under the railroad / freeway bridge and in front of the Fella River (approx. 400m). If you want to walk the whole canyon, follow hiking trail 620 to the village of Patoc (access also possible by car) --> however, the upper part is usually omitted due to lack of interest (only walking and climbing passages).

Commento: Parkmöglichkeit bei Kirche
Accesso: From Carnia drive towards Tarvisio --> at the exit of Chiusaforte turn right towards "Sella Nevea"/Raccolana --> after the bridge turn left towards the church --> behind the church you can park your car next to the road. If you don't want to park in the middle of the village (changing clothes, hanging up things,...) you can stay at the "Brussine parking lot" (see coordinates). There you have much more space and you don't disturb anyone (+2min longer walking distance)
Ritorno: There are 2 options for the way back: Option 1: You swim down the Fella for about 15 min --> before the road bridge of Raccolana there is an iron ladder on the left side, which makes it easier to get out --> shortly you get back to the car at the road. Option 2: At the confluence of the Patoc and the Fella, walk upstream along the Fella for about 200m. You come to a point with fixed ropes along which you come to the cycle path up the slope. Then take the cycle path to Chiusaforte and cross the bridge to the parking lot. approx. 20min

Avvicinamento: About 30min 1st option: From the reversible parking (see option 1), follow the steep and narrow mountain road until the exit at the houses "Cuel Lunc alto". Here you will find the sign 743 "Stavoli/DelVerzan". Attention the path goes down here to the right along the hedge into the woods. After a short while you cross a dry streambed. Do not enter here but descend further to the main stream at approx. 650m (remains of walls). 2nd possibility (about 1h15min): From the houses at Stavoli Ravorade (516m) follow the tracks towards the houses of "Verzan" at about 720m. At Verzan you descend into the open mostly dry streambed.
Giro: The Rio Chiampeit is a beautiful worthwhile lime canyon that should be walked best after rains or in the spring, because then there is also water in the pools in the upper part (dry also not bad). The upper part of the canyon is very diverse. Walking and downclimb alternate with rappelling up to max. 25m. The limestone rock is nicely polished and some pools invite you to jump or slide. From the halfway point there is a longer downclimb over rock chaos. In the lower walking section there are small springs and a tributary from the left that also bring water into the canyon in summer. Here one has right also the possibility of an intermediate entry / break-off possibility. There are still some small jumps, slides and two 5m steps that can be rappelled or jumped. After a shorter walking passage with two possible jumps, it gets serious. You are now just before the final waterfall (left) and the last two abseils (15m+70m). The first step can also be slid with enough momentum (rock runs diagonally into the pool!). However, one should be careful at the following edge, since the water rushes here directly 70m into the depth (in case of doubt, one builds a removable rope traverse). The belaystation for the 70m rappel is a bit higher and exposed on the right side (two glued anchors are available!). The almost 70m rappel can also be divided. To do this, you first rappel about 25m in a water stream over an overhang. Immediately after the first overhang you reach a narrow rock band, which you traverse to the (orographic) left to the first anchor. From this last belaystation you rappel mostly outside the water flow for about 45m.

Accesso: Coming from Carnia, take the SS13 towards Tarvisio. Approx. 4 km after the Hotel Carnia, you will see the turn-off to Moggio on the left. Do not take this, but follow the road (SS13) for approx. 50 m and then turn sharp right into the small side road. Follow this road to the exit and park the shuttle car in front of the barrier under the highway bridge (the final waterfall can already be seen from the parking lot). Approach option 1: (30min car + 30min access) Take the second car in the direction of Carnia (Udine). After the traffic junction at Carnia, drive over a bridge with tracks underneath. Shortly afterwards, you should turn left towards Tugliezzo, but this is not possible because of the road closure, so continue a little further and turn right towards Carnia, then turn right again at the first opportunity and follow the road to the left (passes under the SS13 main road) at the crossroads go straight on towards Tugliezzo. An asphalted mountain road winds up next to the huge gravel field towards the few houses of Tugliezzo. After the houses on the plateau, the road descends with a sharp right bend past a barrier and the bridge over the Rio Lavarie. Follow the road uphill until you reach a large turnaround area where you can park the second car (the rest of the road is best done on foot...very narrow and steep). Approach option 2: (10min car + 1h15min access) Take the second car and drive right after the village of Moggia Udinese on an initially asphalted road to the houses of "Stavolli Rovorade" (516m). Park the second car here.
Ritorno: After the final waterfall at the second pool (350m) you get out of the creek on the left and shortly reach the parking lot.

2025-08-22: We have it from the bridge.some single point.some jumps can be made.some discontinuity between rappels.
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot, follow the road for about 30 meters in the direction of travel to the gravel descent right to the stream (Torrente Resia). There used to be two wooden bridges over the stream here, but both were torn away in 2023. So wade through the streambed. Keeping slightly to the left in the streambed, head towards the canyon, which is already visible from afar. You will soon reach the bridge that crosses the Rio Nero. From here, on the orographic left, path 703 (signposted "Ric. Casera Rio Nero") leads to the entry point. The path climbs steeply at first and then runs more or less flat alongside the canyon. The last few meters to the stream are descended. You pass another tributary before reaching the wooden bridge/entry to the Rio Nero Inferiore (To reach the Superiore, follow the path (slope) uphill, cross a tributary, then enter the forest. The path initially climbs, where it begins to descend, look out for a small path that leads to the right after crossing a dry chute = entry to the Superiore) (The Superiore is less interesting except for a few individual cells).
Giro: approx. 3h Inferiore: The Rio Nero inferiore has not been known for so long. However, the canyon has a lot to offer for experienced canyoneers/aquatic fans. From the wooden bridge, you will soon reach the 1st abseiling/jumping point, where you should stay away from the undercut rock. You can also jump here. This is followed by beautiful washouts, short walking sections, jumps and abseiling points in the water. Despite some walking and downclimbs, the canyon remains entertaining right to the end. However, the currents in the pools and the short rappels, some of which are directly in the water, should not be underestimated! Superiore (1.5h): The canyon begins impressively and extremely cold with a beautiful incised section consisting of a smaller jump and an aquatic 16m rappel (emergency exit right). This is followed by an entertaining 16m abseil and a 5m jump. After that it becomes less interesting. Walk, downclimbs and jumps follow until the bridge (entry inferior).

Avvicinamento: At the power house after the bridge you can already see the hiking mark 641 (Attention: in the Tabacco map the hiking trail is already marked before the bridge. But this is wrong!) Immediately after the power house you follow the access road up to the 1st house. The path goes between the houses until you reach asphalt again. Here turn right in the direction of the electricity pylons, where there is again a trail marker 641. From here, follow path 641 until you reach the wooden bridge that crosses the Rio Malimberg. Attention, just after the bridge an inconspicuous steep path goes up on the left. With a quick gain in altitude (on the orographic left side of the gorge) you will soon be at the entry, at 690Hm.
Giro: The Rio Malimberg inferiore is a beautiful, short, technically not too difficult tour, which definitely has a lot to offer. Due to the characteristics, the canyon is also suitable for beginners, but also has enough potential for experienced canyoneers. Most of the rappels are easy to see and the pools are not deep. Some rappels are in the watercourse and provide refreshment. The canyon is very continuous from start to exit, with only short walking passages. At the wooden bridge you have the possibility to get off on path 641. However, the further descent pays off in any case (disturbing here is only a water drainage, which suddenly disappears in the field).

Avvicinamento: At the power house after the bridge, you can already see the hiking trail marker 641 (note: on the Tabacco map, the hiking trail is already marked before the bridge. But this is wrong!) Immediately after the power house, follow the access road up to the first house. The path goes between the houses until you come to asphalt again. Continue right here in the direction of the electricity pylons, where there is another trail marker 641. From now on, the trail is clear and you follow this (641) for about 30 minutes steeply through the forest, past the old wooden bridge (Rio Malimberg) to Rio Pliz. At the entry at 700Hm you will find a wooden sign with the inscription "Riu Plis"
Giro: The Rio Pliz is a very open rappel canyon with a beautiful layer. There are no major difficulties at the abseiling points due to the mostly low water flow. At the entry of the Rio Pliz inferiore you start with a small downclimb/slide and are immediately in front of the highest point (70m). The stance is OK but exposed on the left side. If you do not have a 70m ropes, the abseiling point can be divided into 20+50m. The route then continues vertically without much distance to the end. Some nice pools provide a welcome cooling in between before you reach the stone bridge/exit at approx. 570m.
