Avvicinamento: From the parking entry, follow the road in the direction of travel for approx. 100m. After the stone bridge, a forest path branches off down to the stream. There you will find an old dilapidated house (Central Electrica). Entry into the streambed at approx. 500m. Alternatively, you can enter via the Pas d'en Duro, which joins halfway down the canyon, just before the start of Sa Fosca. From Escorca, follow the road towards Soller until you come to a signposted viewpoint, just after which there are modest parking facilities on the right near a pointed rock (do not use the parking spaces at the viewpoint - if you don't have a parking space here, it is better to park in Escorca). From the parking lot at the pointed rock, walk along the road towards Soller for about 300m until you reach an iron gate in a wire mesh fence on the righthand side (N 39.82817° E 2.83288°) Go through the gate and, keeping to the right, descend on a clear path. In the area of a steep meadow by an olive tree (N 39.82898° E 2.83322°), turn left and descend across the meadow towards the saddle (1 cairn and faint tracks). In the saddle, after a brick shelter, turn right into the canyon where the first fixed rope is already installed (N 39.82939° E 2.83198°). From here, about 300m of fixed ropes lead down to the bottom of the gorge, alternatively to the fixed ropes there are also abseiling points. To climb the Pas d'en Duro ascent, hand and chest ascender are required - not a via ferrata in the true sense of the word.
Giro: Once you reach the stream, the trail initially follows the streambed, partly flat. Smaller steps can be bypassed or downclimbed. The first abseiling point is not long in coming. After about 30 minutes of walking and downclimbing, the canyon becomes more continuous. The steps are rappelled, downclimbed, jumped or slid, depending on the water level/ability. With each step, the canyon becomes more impressive and more incised. There is no need for artificial light until you reach the emergency exit in the middle of the canyon. (The emergency exit on the right is well equipped but difficult. It leads vertically out of the canyon via iron stirrups and fixed ropes. Can also be used as an entry). If you were already unsure/overtaxed up to the emergency exit, you should definitely not continue here. For well-trained canyoneers, this is where the most mentally and physically demanding, but also the most beautiful part of the canyon begins. Headlamp and spare lamp should be checked one last time before entering the "Sa Fosca" (the darkness). The canyon, especially the 2nd part, requires a water level that is not too high, as there are several narrow canyons, holes and siphons. Daylight enters the Sa Fosca in a few places. Due to the length and difficulty of the gorge, an early start is advisable. The canyon gets the best light in the morning. The steps are all optimally equipped with glued anchors or bolts. Many places can be jumped or downclimbed (depending on the water level!). After a longer swim, the canyon opens up. A final step leads to the exit of the canyon. Here the water seeps into the middle of the high rock faces before you reach the open streambed.

Commento: Parkplatz Äquadukt bei Abzweigung Sa Caldobra
Accesso: 40min + 10min car transfer From Port de Soller, take the main road C711 towards Soller. After the tunnel there is a traffic circle where you turn off in the direction of Pollenca. From here, follow the long winding mountain road C710 for almost 1000m, where a tunnel leads to the 1st reservoir "Embassament de Cuber" and after a short distance to the 2nd reservoir "Embassament des Gorge Blau". After another tunnel, the turn-off to "Sa Calobra" follows, with a kiosk and large parking lot on the left (parking entry). Before that, however, the shuttle car must be driven 4 km further to the parking exit at the "Escora" restaurant (parking lot on the left).
Ritorno: Once you have daylight again, climb the last sections into the shallow streambed. Here the Gorge Blau meets the Torrente de Lluc, which you follow right over the streambed or along a narrow path (! If you go left here, you follow the Torrente de Pareis for approx. 3 hours to the sea). After about 10 minutes you will see a signpost with the path up to Escora. Follow this for approx. 1.20 hours. Steep at first, then more leisurely in many serpentines through high grass, up to the road (parking exit). (The path is not easy to see through the high grass).

Avvicinamento: From the upper parking lot, descend on the mentioned slope and where it makes a left turn, turn right onto a path that takes us down to the stream in 15 min (entry). If you have only 1 car, you can go up from Lodrino on a trail to Legri, then take the tarred road to the left to the upper parking area described. Access then about 1 hr. 15 min. in total.
Giro: The Lodrino is accessible without risk only after prolonged drought. If you look up into the narrows at the exit of the canyon (easily accessible from the orographic left side), you get at least an approximate impression of the situation. After some smaller slides and jumps, you are in front of the first real rappel point, a winding 15m channel. If the water level allows it, rappel 15m from the left, or cross to the right to the other exit of the pool and jump down 10m from there. After a few nice bends, you are in front of an almost vertical 11m slide. Dangerous rock bay on the left, keep right when surfacing. Can also be rappelled left. This is followed by an 8m rappel from anchors on the left and two narrow, winding rock canyons before the canyon widens considerably (pathless escape on the left). The second part of the gorge begins with a 7m slide and a 7m jump into a deep pool. This is followed by a very photogenic 9m rappel (Can also be jumped). The next, wild-looking 5m rappel either rappel in the water or bypass right on traverese rope. At the big rappel from two anchors on the right, rappel 5m (install rope traverse) to reach the actual belaystation on the left under the edge. Here it goes down 45m into a large pool. Here you can escape to the right. Pass the dam on the right and downclimb through the chaos of blocks. The last waterfall either rappel 37m from the right in the water jet, or traverse to the left over fixed ropes to a dry belaystation. Finally, rappel another 22m from the belaystation at the top right. Exit possible on a paved path after the 45m rappel. The chute at the beginning of the penultimate (37m) rappel can be avoided by rappelling out of the wire entanglement on the left above; but the turbulence down in the big pool cannot be avoided. Can be well connected with Lodrino med.

Commento: Parkplatz hinter Friedhof
Accesso: From the freeway junction (Gotthard/Bernardino) north of Bellinzona on the N 2 northwards. Shortly after passing through Cresciano, turn left and drive to the other side of the valley to Lodrino (approx. 12 km from the interchange). Enter the village (on the right) and after the bridge over the stream take the 3rd street on the left. Park your first car behind the cemetery (not at the storage hall) (do not use the parking spaces in front of the supermarket and under the trees in the center of the village). With the second car, drive north towards Iragna and after almost 2 km (from Lodrino), immediately after the houses of Rodaglio, at a commercial establishment (GPS coordinates: 46°19'02.46 "N / 8°58'19.70 "E ), just after an inconspicuous chapel, turn left onto a small road that takes us up to the houses of Legri (a fork to the right). - The road continues straight ahead until it ends in an open area (helipad) (or continues as a dirt road to the west). Park the second car here. The road to the upper parking lot is a private road with toll.
Ritorno: After leaving the bottleneck left over the stone wall and gravel road back to the parking lot.

Avvicinamento: From the vehicle, a bad track leads downhill at an acute angle to the path on which we came, initially heading southwest. Then it bends to the east and we are in the valley. We follow the track along the right-hand side of the valley until a suitable access to the left into the stream presents itself.
Giro: A total of 15 rappels. If the first rappels are largely blocked with pipes, you can bypass them on the rock to the left above. There are several options for the 82m rappel with various transfers, in particular a "dry" variant of the Via Ferrata is offered, even with water flow. The 82m rappel can be abseiled on the edge at the top right outside the waterfall. There is an intermediate stand after 32m, then 50m. There is a siphon here if the water flow is high. If this is to be feared, the section can be bypassed via the Via Verrata. If this option is chosen, however, the verticality rating changes to VI. The belay is very exposed via the Via Ferrata, but can be reached safely. (An emergency exit is also possible from there. 2022 explored but not verified. The beginning is already quite exposed climbing in the third degree). If you rappel from the chain anchor at the exit of the via ferrata, it goes down about 30 meters and 10 meters to the side downstream. There you will find the next belay (follow the rock ledge and make sure you clip in on the way). The intermediate belay is located at the exit of a very narrow ledge and offers space for a maximum of two people (no visual contact with the first belay). From here, rappel approx. 65m. See an extreme situation in the video: https://youtu.be/138eS5x-tEo (the first canyonist on the right on the usual abseil route, the others then to the left of the via ferrata, but not from the exit, but from the middle...). Headlamp not absolutely necessary as long as the tour is undertaken "during the day". The enclosed area after the C82 is in twilight. Directly after the c82 comes a c25, mc3, R12 or c8, r3 after which you are back in daylight and almost at the exit of the canyon. This is followed by C5, C6 under clamping block, c4.

Commento: Für nicht 4x4 (descente)
Accesso: From Ierapetra westwards along the sea (rarely seen) to Myrtos (14 km). Past the village, the road (no. 97) turns inland towards Ano Viannos and climbs uphill. After 16 km we turn left at Kefalovrisi and drive to Amiras. From there we drive with two cars down to the village of Arvi by the sea (if we only have 1 car, we turn off onto the road on the left about 4.3 km after Amiras - large trees on the left before the road, open space behind it, 2008 - and leave the car here). When we arrive in Arvi, it is best to park one car at the eastern end of the harbor (about 700 m from the exit). With the other one we drive back and up again for 6.7 km. Where there are some larger trees on the right-hand side after a treeless area (east of the road and north of the track), we take the track that goes eastwards here. After about 100 m, at the junction, take the northbound track (i.e. left), at the next junction 200 m further on, take the track to the right (eastbound). Continue along the slope at the same height for another 600 m until you reach the place before a sharp left-hand bend, where you park the vehicle.
Ritorno: At the canyon exit, take the dirt road and continue straight ahead along the stream for approx. 250 m. When you reach the road bridge, turn right, then left again at the next T-junction (50 m further on) and then straight on to the harbor.

Avvicinamento: From the chapel we can choose between an upper and a lower access. The lower access is not so easy to find, but it shortens the descent by almost 1 hour. On the other hand, a 20m rappel is lost and the possibility to contemplate small artesian springs in the streambed. For the upper access, continue along the slope behind the chapel until you reach a few meters from the streambed. Here you take the relatively most pleasant descent. To get to the lower entry, walk west along the edge of the canyon, passing a fenced-in area with a house at the top. About 50m before reaching a cut in the terrain, keep to the right and descend at about a right angle without a path (2022) towards the streambed. Please note the geolocalization at the internet site 'descente-canyon.com' as well as photo 1 on this page.
Giro: A bit more open at the beginning, then narrow gorge in grown rock, high side walls, about 30 rappel, some with handrails to set up. Some possible jumps and slides.

Accesso: From Ierapetra we take the road towards Agios Nikolaos. After about 5 km we pass Kato Horio on the righthand side and after 10 km (from Ierapetra) we take a fork half-right; the other road leaving at a right angle would lead to Monastiraki. On our road we go about 1200 m (NE) and then cross the gravel bed of the stream that flows through Ha Canyon. Then we orientate to the right and after passing an access road to a factory we reach a chapel, which is located at the exit of the Ha-Canyon (orographic right bank). Here we park one vehicle and return with the other one to Kato Horio, turn left at the beginning of the village, then keep straight south for about 700 m until we find the road to Thripti (east at the beginning). From here we drive uphill for a good 7.5 km until shortly after a prominent left turn a dirt road turns off to the left. We take this road (2022 well drivable with a normal car, but not with 5 heavy persons ;) ); it leads horizontally along the slope of the Ha and after about 400 m (from the beginning of the track) we reach the chapel Agia Annna, where we park the other vehicle (see also
Ritorno: After the diversion structure, downclimb out to the right to the path.

Avvicinamento: From the chapel we can choose between an upper and a lower access. The lower access is not so easy to find, but it shortens the descent by almost 1 hour. On the other hand, a 20m rappel is lost and the possibility to contemplate small artesian springs in the streambed. For the upper access, continue along the slope behind the chapel until you reach a few meters from the streambed. Here you take the relatively most pleasant descent. To get to the lower entry, walk west along the edge of the canyon, passing a fenced-in area with a house at the top. About 50m before reaching a cut in the terrain, keep to the right and descend at about a right angle without a path (2022) towards the streambed. Please note the geolocalization at the internet site 'descente-canyon.com' as well as photo 1 on this page.
Giro: A bit more open at the beginning, then narrow gorge in grown rock, high side walls, about 30 rappel, some with handrails to set up. Some possible jumps and slides.

Avvicinamento: Orographically right along marked trail no. 546 uphill, initially steep through forest. After about half an hour you come to the turnoff to the dam for the lower part. For the upper part, follow the path uphill. At about 940 m there is a barely visible turnoff to path 545, but here you stay along the course of the gorge on path 546 (path arrow Val Clusa path 546). From now on you go without much loss of altitude always along the path until at 960Hm you come closer and closer to the stream and can enter without major problems (see coordinates). The path is generally clearly visible, there is no more damage from the forest fire. At one point there is a possible risk of falling, but this is well secured with steel ropes.
Giro: The upper section (from 1490 m) was opened on June 21, 2020 and has 28 equipped runs. The maximum descent length is 40 meters (a cable car is required in strong currents). At the beginning, Val Clusa is still a relatively open forest gorge. However, this changes after the first 6 rappels, where the canyon becomes visibly narrower and deeper. In general, there are only a few ways out of the canyon during the tour. After approx. 18 rappels or 27 rappels in the upper part, you will find a way ortographic right out of the canyon. After approx. 29 rappels there are yellow signs and the path leads out to the right where you reach the dam. This path should not be overlooked, because if the dam is active and water is dammed, it may be that you can no longer get out of the reservoir, because the ladders are in a shaft that is only accessible when the dam is empty. For the upper part you should plan about 4h-5h. If you miss the signs and jump into the pool, there is another rappel before you reach the reservoir and stand in front of the dam. During our ascent (15.8.2023) we were lucky that the dam was open, i.e. you could easily go through the dam and get to the lower part or use the ladder in the shaft for a possible exit. The dam is automatically controlled and is also connected to the Lago del Mis as an overflow, i.e. you should generally not dawdle in the lower part, as even if the reservoir is open and the water is ok due to a technical fault etc., water is fed into the Clusa. water is fed into the Clusa. The lower part is a little more aquatic than the upper part but very nicely incised. The lower part has a total of 7 rappels, the highest being 30m. You should plan about 1.5 hours for the lower part. The border of the national park (where canyoning is prohibited) is exactly on the southern bank of the Clusa - the ascent of the Val Clusa is permitted.

2024-09-07: Ancoraggi ottimi, pozze da verificare prima di tuffarsi. Usciti alla diga di cemento verso destra
Avvicinamento: Steep asphalt road to Gena Alta (no driving for non-residents). Take the old forest road on the right at Brunnen until you reach the streambed.
Giro: First narrow canyon (2-3h) with slides, jumps, rappels up to 30m. Then the confluence with the Val Pisson (also very rewarding). A breather on a ledge, then a 35m rappel into a huge cauldron. ("Mini-Trou de Fer"). Further along the rappel, it becomes more open and a little more playful, but there is still a lot of work to do. Here we have completed jumps of up to 18m... Finally, you reach the Schaufällen at the exit before the confluence with the lake. The small half-cave with a stone seating area on the right is great. Depending on the water level of the Lago del Mis, it may be a few meters underwater!

Avvicinamento: From the hikers' parking lot, take a path to the gravel road and follow it to the parking lot at the dam wall. From the parking lot, descend orographic left on a clear path under the dam. After about 3min the path reaches the streambed filled with giant boulders. Entry at a flood warning sign and an orange reflector on a tree.
Giro: Downclimb under the first blocks to the first 13m rappel, then rappel from the right under wedged blocks 25m, 12m and 7m. From here 3 rappels in complete darkness before it goes again briefly into the light. A siphon must be climbed around in a twisted and small way above until you reach the stream again above a 22m rappel point. Another 4 rappels, partly in the dark again, lead to the highest waterfall of the tour: 27m down through a rock gate. Here is the only escape route of the tour to the left. Also here is an orange reflector on a tree. A side stream brings at least double the water, if you have already had problems in the first part you should not continue. The second part starts at the path of the emergency exit and is again marked with an orange reflector. You climb back into the blocked streambed and follow the water as much as possible through obscure block climbing before it gets dark for a longer time. 9 abseils in beautifully washed out serpentine follow, at the 18m waterfall be sure to watch out for the hanging basin on the left - at high water levels it is very difficult to get out of there again. You can avoid the basin but orographic left. The gorge ends in block chaos, better downclimb near the stream to the bridge, above the blocks the rock is overgrown and very slippery. About an old wooden ladder (at red / white trail marking on block in the streambed) you can already leave the streambed before right.

Pass this village, which is on the other side of the river, and immediately after crossing the stream coming from the east, turn right towards Lanzada, Tornadri. After these places continue and climb steeply in many switchbacks. After passing through a few tunnels, we reach a large parking lot near the Edelweiss Restaurant. Parking entry: on the right on a narrow asphalt road uphill in the direction of Campo Moro. Either park at the large parking lot for hikers or at the first houses turn left downhill on a gravel road to a small parking lot below the dam wall. From there, cross the Cormor to Franscia and park near the bridge over the Laterna.

Avvicinamento: On the road a few hundred meters north, before reaching the hamlet of Cosa, the trail branches off to the right and climbs steeply to San Lorenzo. Pass the chapel on the left, then turn right at the next fork and reach the ruins of the hamlet of Mura. We have now reached the canyon rim and follow the red arrows on a partly thorny path down to the stone bridge over the stream.
Giro: At the beginning it is first necessary to overcome a stone chaos. Then follow 2 rappels to the mouth of the left side stream Focia. Now begins a constant alternation of rappels, jumps, slides and of course downclimbing. Technically demanding is then a handrail on the steep rock to avoid a descent in the beam at C 25. After a few narrow passages, you finally rope into the swimming pool of the village of Quarata.
