Giétro: Inizio del canyon
2025-10-18: Walked up to the water intake. Some ice, partly slush with undercurrent. Spectacular tour!
2023-10-15: Definitely one of my favorites, probably in the top 3 in Switzerland for me! But brutally cold! And always take a drill and anchors with you, about 5 places were no longer well equipped.
2022-10-22: The original description is based on this walk-through. The anchorage evaluation refers to the condition after the walk-through.
Avvicinamento: Follow the road through the tunnel up to the dam wall. Cross the dam wall and pass through the tunnel on the north side. After a short time you will reach a ladder where the ascent begins. Follow the path until you come to a technical building with a ladder and some kind of measuring apparatus at an altitude of approx. 2340 m above sea level. Turn left (NW) here. The rest of the trail is not marked on the Swisstopo, but on OSM maps. However, it is relatively obvious and partly secured with steel chains. At an altitude of approx. 2720m, the path branches off to the entry.
Giro: The water from the glacier is extremely cold and ice must always be expected. Also with icefall on the high rappel. After the first part, there is a heavily cut passage that offers no escape route for some time. An ascent should therefore only be made by very experienced teams who can move quickly in these conditions. Depending on the amount of ice, it may be necessary to set a large number of additional anchors or to set stands in the ice accordingly. The lower half of the canyon is gripped. It is therefore essential to obtain information from the operator or to wait until operations cease around mid-October (for the lower part) before attempting the route. Rope requirements: The highest waterfall has a height of approx. 90m and 4 stands (approx. 20m, approx. 25m, approx. 50m, approx. 15m (please adjust if exact values are known)). The lower two stands may not be usable depending on the water level and icing. An 85m rope is required to rope through from the second stand. If the water level is low and there is little ice, a 60m rope is sufficient. Update 2023 : The middle stands were not well visible, + with more water probably in the wet, so we went down directly with 100m rope, probably smarter.

Accesso: Unfortunately, the road to the dam is most likely closed during the time when it is possible to walk up (winter closure). If not, you can park near the dam. Otherwise there is a parking possibility at Bonatchiesse at an altitude of approx. 1580m (registered coordinate). It is then advisable to use e-bikes or normal bicycles to get to the dam wall 5.3km/420m.
Ritorno: The canyon exits directly onto the hiking trail, which leads you back to the dam wall. From there, take the road back to the car.

Avvicinamento: We take the path that leads south along the orographic left bank of the Saufla (Roc Coupé, Cascade de la Saufla). First relatively flat along, it then goes away from the stream and up in switchbacks. We arrive at an alp. at 1440m. Here we leave the path and continue in a southerly direction across the meadows towards the coppice. Before this we turn right and go straight down to the entry.\n \nIf we were to continue up the path from the alpine pasture, we would come directly to the entry to the lower part of the Saufla Amont (b) - cf. description Saufla Amont.
Giro: In part c) mostly rappeling in the beam, no emergency exits, in part d) exits (at the beginning)

Accesso: We leave the Autoroute du Rhône between Martigny and Lake Geneva via the Saint-Triphon exit. Via Monthey we go up the valley of the Vièze to Champéry. Continue towards the cable car and Camping du Grand Paradis. After the second stream crossing (this is already the Saufla) we turn left and go directly along the stream (Route de Barme). 650m further on, we turn left onto a forest road. From here another 550m, then we park our car in the hikers' parking lot before the bridge over the Saufla.
Ritorno: After the last waterfall (20m) turn right out onto the trail or down the creek and get off at the footbridge.

Chärstelenbach: Inizio del canyon

2024-11-01: Upper part: You can easily get through under the avalanche snow. Watch out for falling rocks from the side. Access via the rocks orograghically to the right. If you take the access described in the bo...
Avvicinamento: New! A new access was tested in 2024, which saves almost 300-400 meters in altitude. It now goes past the Hüfisee (T4, marked with dots up to the lake), and then up a rock band onto the slabs north of the canyon (some scrambling, and a short climb, which now has a 30m fixed rope hanging in it). Details on the photos. From there just go down the tributary to the confluence with the glacier water. Right there is also the first rappel. Old access : Walk up the valley towards the village of Guferen, cross the bed of the Chärstelenbach stream and follow the path on the right bank of the Chärstelenbach stream towards the village of Blindensee. Cross the stream there to switch to the left bank and follow the path towards Hüfihütte. At an altitude of around 2,200 m, you reach the glacier by descending through a couloir and then over limestone slabs to reach the left bank of the glacier at an altitude of around 2,020 m. Follow the left edge of the glacier to about 1985 meters. Go into the hole on the left bank of the glacier to reach the watercourse and the start of the canyon. Allow 1 hour for the approach to cross the glacier and walk along the limestone slabs on the right bank, then rappel down one of the 80 meters as you dispense with the upper part below the glacier!!!!
Giro: First indentation under the glacier with about 10 waterfalls. After leaving the first indentation, you reach the Hüfisee on the left, follow it on the left and reach the second incised part with about 6 to 7 obstacles (alt. 1670m) Commitment A big commitment! No way out except after the first notch at the level of the Hüfisee. 1st committed part because under the glacier with the potential risk of the canyon being blocked by ice and 2nd committed part because of a considerable amount of water! Period/water character Autumnal canyon to be done when temperatures drop in altitude but before the first snow to facilitate the long approach and reduce the risk of avalanches and glacier crossings. Notes The uphill section has been opened up using caving techniques (fixed ropes) to allow you to turn back. Be careful and vigilant when you set off! Icefalls and falling rocks could block this part of the canyon!

Chärstelenbach: Parcheggio Entrata e uscita
Accesso: Take the highway from Lucerne in the direction of Gotthard and exit at Amsteg. Cross the village and turn left up the small road through the Maderanertal valley to the village of Bristen. Cross the village and park in the cable car parking spaces. An Alpine cab shuttle is available to shorten the journey from Bristen to Guferen (approx. 2 hours) (road closed to traffic). The price is CHF 100 and the Alpentaxi can only take 6 people! Otherwise it is also possible by bike (400m).
Ritorno: At the exit of the second inlet in the Griesboden district, walk along the watercourse and reach the Riedbödmer district. Walk along the left bank and after about 10 minutes you will reach the approach path and follow it to Guferen and/or Bristen.

Avvicinamento: 45min from Fil da Cassons (300m descent to the valley), 1h from Segnes, 1h15 from Nagens (400m ascent to the mountain).
Giro: Commitment Alternative route at the exit of the plateau in front of the second ropes course with climbing rd; in front of the large waterfalls (access via a path above the cliff) if a rope is installed. Period/ water character Subglacial, glacier with southern orientation. Season October - November, before the visit it must be dry for a week and the 0°C isotherm below 2800m must have existed for more than 24 hours. Opening history Opening 16.10.2010 Patrick Chollot, Evan Jenkins, Matthias Holzinger, Andreas Senn, Timo Stammwitz. Remarks A canister that is too wide in the rucksack can block it. Headlamp useful for additional visibility, but not necessary. On the C10 after the C25 in the 2nd part (Swiss Alps topographic view) there was a fatal accident in 2024 due to a trapped foot. A slot covered by water can become a deadly trap here. On 19.10.2025, the spot was defused by an orographic new anchor on the left side, the anchor on the right is currently still there! The plate should be removed here when the opportunity arises, but the bolt and nut should be retained. See also picture in the gallery.

Avvicinamento: On the road 25min back in the direction of the canyon (a post bus leaves every 30min), before you reach the tourist parking lot at the restaurant turn right onto an access road and continue on the hiking trail in the direction of Wengen. We come after many, partly secured serpentines to the bridge over the Trümmelbach (entry).
Giro: Just over 20 rappels in a mostly gloomy atmosphere, sometimes in complete darkness. Anchors mostly only monopoint. At the highest waterfall there is an intermediate belay after about 35m RG behind the wall at head height. Important! Letter of intent from October 2017 between Kaspar von Almen AG and the Swiss Mountain Guide Association SBV. The most important points: Canyoning is only permitted outside the operating and opening hours of the von Almen AG facility! The von Almen AG facility is generally closed from November 15 to December 15 and from January 10 to March 15. Canyoning is permitted during these periods by prior arrangement. Tours can only be arranged by telephone in advance on +41 33 855 32 32. This number provides information about the specific opening times and work on the gorge facilities. The paths, footbridges, bridges and tunnels of von Almen AG may not be used. Emergency situations are reserved. The exit from the canyon is only possible on the left-hand side of the stream (direction of flow) after the last waterfall. The replacement of abseiling hooks is permitted. New installations may only be installed with the consent of von Almen AG. The canyon is rated v5a5V and is therefore reserved for very experienced canyoneers! Von Almen AG accepts no liability for accidents in connection with canyoning. We ask all canyoneers to adhere strictly to the above points! In the event of non-compliance by individual persons, von Almen AG reserves the right to terminate the declaration of intent and to prohibit canyoning in the canyon. Camping and parking in the area of the Trümmelbach Falls is prohibited. Canyoneers are requested to use the parking lot at the cable car before Stechelberg!

Avvicinamento: Follow the road as far as a snack station, from here cross an alpine path through steep terrain to the flat Gamchiboden. The rest of the ascent crosses rocky terrain and is secured with wire ropes in places. At around 2000m, the hiking trail climbs to the left to reach the glacier meadows above. Here, branch off to the right onto a very unclear path that crosses the crumbly slope directly to the entry (cairns). If you want to walk the main branch of the gorge, you can enter at the first gorge about 90m above the bridge, otherwise walk about 100m to the east to reach the left branch of the gorge. In winter, the bridges over the gorge are dismantled. The access crosses many small watercourses that are completely frozen over in winter. Crampons and ice axes are then necessary.
Giro: Main branch: First downclimb on the orographic right canyon rim just above the beginning of the gorge, then downclimb and rappel in the narrow gorge where the left branch joins (here three rappels). In open terrain with not easy downclimbs to a break above the gorge. From the rock platform on the left 20m rappel, then from the anchor on the right under a large clamping block. The rappel points for the 60m rappel are on the left. If the water level is too high for a direct rappel, there is a difficult to reach intermediate stand after a few meters on the left. From here several rappels in complete darkness before the gorge ends with a long, narrow corridor.

Giro: Superiore : Carries about half of the water. If you want to make inferiore, the part should probably already have ice, otherwise there is too much water at the bottom! Attention! As soon as there is sunlight, the rocks on the left and right thaw again and stones fall down, so superiore is not really recommended (do Gavirolas instead, which runs parallel). Inferiore : After the confluence it gets sporty, the gulches are occasionally interrupted by steep emergency exits. The first big rappel "The White Out" (about 50-55m) has very strong water pressure after 40m, but it flies over the last 6-8m. At 2024 you could then stand comfortably behind the beam in the pool below. So it's better to put more rope in the rappel than to make it too short, in the last third (except for the very last 5m) you can hardly see anything.

2025-10-18: Slightly more water than normal. Anchors in order. Very nice sporty tour 👍🏻
Avvicinamento: Shortly before you reach the dam, climb up the steep path on your right for 150 m, between a small stream and a rock barrier, until you reach the official hiking trail. From there, continue hiking to the left until you reach the bridge at 2049 m. You can either start here or continue your hike to the upper section, which begins at 2130 m.
Giro: Great tour, cool rappels in the top part in beautiful limestone, then super vertical. When you've had enough, you come to the siphon, and at the end, you'll be rappelling down the last waterfalls. Max c120 (30 / 50 / 40 ) From the top, there are a total of four different parts where exits are possible. The very striking high waterfall marks the third part with beautiful and exposed parts of the watercourse.

2024-11-03: We could renew some anchors. However, some anchors are still borderline or missing (rappels from jams) From the high road bridge onwards, many animal remains in the canyon.
Avvicinamento: On the orographic right side of the canyon follow a hiking trail until you reach the other side of the canyon via a wooden bridge. After another 200m follow a thin path into the canyon and rappel about 25m from a tree into the streambed just before an erosion gully.
Giro: The abseil station for the highest waterfall (45m) is on the right behind the edge, belay anchors for traverse on the right in the corner. Further down, the abseiling points are lower but more aquatic. In 2014 there were many wedged trees in the area of the old bridge - downclimbing in the water is not easy.

At an altitude of 1860m, the hiking trail forks and we keep left down to the stream (entry).
Giro: In the open streambed we descend to an altitude of 1650m; then the canyoning descent begins with downclimbs, slides and rappels. Around 65 rappels await us, no rappel higher than 30m. Only in the upper section are 2 emergency exits open. It is not always possible to avoid rappels in the beam. Towards the exit of the tour, however, you will often find alternative options (next to or in the beam). Before a bridge, we exit to the right onto a path.

Commento: Start Teil 1
Avvicinamento: Part 1: at the bridge Part 2: From Furi down over the bridge, turn right and follow the canyon briefly upwards, then enter near the reservoir house Part 3: Orographically left on the hiking trail down. Leave the hiking trail in the direction of the gondola lift mast. From there, follow the cliff for another 50-100m until an obvious, gently sloping path leads south into the canyon. Start at the "via ferrata".
Giro: Anchors are regularly damaged or cannot be found under the snow. A drill is strongly recommended. Parts 1+2 or 2+3 make a nice day tour. Part 1: only possible with little snow/fresh snow (avalanche danger) and not too cold temperatures. A side tributary can block the whole canyon with a wall of ice. Part 2: More water contact than in part 1 but not very technical. Exit orographic left before the via ferrata or start of part 3. Part 3: More rappels and downclimbs follow. Attention, there is a pool from which you may not be able to get out if the siphon is closed. Therefore, from the start of part 3, you must first climb via the via ferrata to this point and hang a rope (approx. 2x20m). Alternatively, one person can follow the group via the via ferrata and react from above if the siphon is closed. The pool is located after the cool rope pendulum in the via ferrata, with which you can get from the orographic right to the orographic left side of the canyon. If the siphon is closed, people have to rappel up the rope to the via ferrata and back down into the canyon after the siphon. This takes some time and warm clothing is essential. Exit at the start of part 4 orographically to the right, climbing up the steep streambed as soon as possible. Crampons and ice axes/ice tools recommended. Part 4: ? worse water quality possible from here onwards Part 5: Poor water quality possible. Canyon should be checked before entering via the tourist gallery. Possible wooden blockages.

2021-11-05: High volume of water but doable. Hooks in good condition, but in one place so extremely icy that we could not use them.
Avvicinamento: Descend into the streambed above the bridge.
Giro: Rappel right from a tree with a sling, cross the pool and climb left to the next anchor. Rappel 12m and carefully pass the tree trunk to reach the next 14m rappel. After short walking passages the canyon opens for a moment before a 35m rappel into the dark cathedral. Intermediate position possible after 25m on the right. In December 2016, here were many tree trunks that were thrown into the gorge during forestry work. The next rappel can be rappelled from the left or from the right. Climbing to the right anchor is technically difficult (V+). Another 12m rappel brings you back out into the open. The anchor for the 27m high Pochtenfall is located behind the right edge and is reached by a wide straddle step. After a short walking passages follows the short second gorge with two low rappels and a waterfall from the left. Walk 100m before the last gorge section of the Hexenkessel begins. After the bridge, jump 3m or go around to the left, then carefully downclimb to the downclimb anchor on the right above a 5m step. Climb the ropes to the right onto the small ledge under the overhang and rappel 18m into the pool under the Hexenkessel. From now on only downclimb and jump in a beautiful gorge.

Avvicinamento: Summer access: From the Startgels cable car station, take the hiking trail directly along the stream to Punt Desch (several bridges over Flem). At an altitude of around 1830m, the entry into the still open streambed opens up. Winter access: From the Startgels cable car station along the edge of the ski slope up to Punt Desch. Punt Desch is the Flem bridge between parts I and II (entry Flem II into the large pool 20m below the bridge from the right-hand side, in winter rope in directly upstream of the bridge if necessary, the anchor comes after the 1m jump orog. left).
Giro: Quickly we come to the beginning of the small-limbed and not very deep gorge. We climb and cling downwards in a polished stone structure, interrupted by some smaller rappels and swim sections. Also a forced siphon awaits us. We have to crawl under some rock arches. Then the narrow ganng opens and we come to Punt Desch, where we can either get out or follow the ascent of the second part.

Avvicinamento: Take the gondola from Stechelberg to Gimmelwald (runs every 30 minutes; CHF 12.80 for return trip - as of 2025). From there, follow the signs to Rotstockhütte. At a fork just before the Sefibach, continue left to the exit (water level check), on the right the path leads uphill to the entry (signs continue towards Rotstockhütte). At around 1800m (when the forest thins out) you can see down to the Sefibach. A narrow path leads along a fence down to the stream.
Giro: The tour starts with a few smaller waterfalls (<10m) in an open streambed. If there is already too much water here, the emergency exit can be chosen before the narrow main section. This is followed by a deep section with no escape routes and spectacular waterfalls. The rappel usually takes place directly in the water jet. The canyon then opens up for approx. 100m - you follow the streambed to the last part of 4 canyons.

Accesso: From Bern, Interlaken or from Lucerne, Sarnen we come to Meiringen in the Aare valley. We now drive in the direction of the Grimsel Pass and after a good 2 km turn right onto the Scheidegg road to Rosenlaui in the Reichenbach valley. After the hamlet of Zwirgi we have to "feed" a toll machine. We continue to the Hotel Rosenlaui and park our car about 300m further on in the parking lot for the tourist walk in the Rosenlaui Gorge (1360m altitude - see approach in photo gallery).
Ritorno: Here left up towards the restaurant and on the hiking trail back down to the car.

Schwarzbach (Bern): Inizio del canyon
2025-11-16: Perfect conditions - water level (photo), pleasant temperature, free of ice and snow. No deep pools; lots of debris in the canyon.

2024-10-29: All anchors still in place. A few could be replaced in the next few years. Only do the last part with a floating bag or a very good swim
Avvicinamento: Take the path that leads past the forester's lodge and follow the signs to the Sunnbüel cable car, Gemmi Pass. The GR leaves the path to the right and approaches the last waterfall of the third part. The path runs along the side of the mountain and is dizzying in places. You reach a bridge that overlooks the second part. Now you climb up to the right and reach a path. Follow this for 200 m and a small path leads you naturally into the open part of the canyon.
Giro: 3 separate parts, separated by hiking trails. The canyon narrows immediately. The waterfalls plunge under boulders. The passages are very aesthetic. The hike is quite short, less than 10 minutes, and you reach the bridge of the second part. Here, too, the canyon immediately becomes narrower and steeper. The waterfalls get bigger and some of the stands require an MC. The most beautiful is the 35 m high waterfall under an aesthetic rock arch. You can pass RD both below in the water and outside the water. The next parts are longer and the terrain is a bit unstable. The GR approaches and immediately afterwards the river descends with the same force as in the other parts. The rappels are always aesthetic. After a less aesthetic and more open part, you reach the last waterfalls. The penultimate abseil of 22 m exits in a deep pool, with a dangerous current RD at high water level. You pass a new waterfall and outside the narrow section you find the last points in the fossil riverbed RG.

Accesso: From Bern, drive in the direction of Interlaken. Turn off towards Kandersteg. Drive to the village and then continue up the valley towards Selden. You have to pay 10 francs at an automatic toll booth to drive on the road through the canyon. Please note, certain ascent times apply to the one-way road (between 45 and 10 for the ascent). The route leads through tunnels and crosses the Kander. As soon as you come to a passable bridge leading back to RG, take it and park a little further on next to the Forsthaus Waldhus. It is possible to take the cable car up before the toll station. From the top station you have to walk back down to the river.
Ritorno: You leave RD and reach a path and the GR.

2022-12-03: The access is definitely part of the adventure, almost more difficult than the canyon itself.
Avvicinamento: First down the little road "Im Brand" in eastern direction, then over the Briggbach and on the hiking trail towards Schwarze Lütschine. Up the wooden steps we come to the restaurant (1375m altitude). From here we continue in southeastern direction to the canyon rim. Here you have the possibility to rope directly into the canyon (approx. 50m). Alternatively, cross the canyon on the steel ropes (for the bridge suspended here in summer) (pulley - 12mm - useful). and climb up the other side, as far as the glacier has cleared the stream.
Giro: At the beginning only a little cut brings us a C15 deeper down. The next drop brings us then in 2 steps or directly over 20m further down. Later a C18 and at the exit a C10 with some smaller steps for downclimbing. Again in the open gravel bed we have reached the exit of the tour.

2025-12-12: Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Turnigla Fairly low flow, did the integrale. All anchors in good condition. Some dodgy tree trunks hanging above the canyon that are likely to...
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot back across the road "Trin-Mulin" and beyond in the direction NNW up the forest road. We pass the turnoff to the water reservoir (entry lower part), later the mostly dry streambed of the Trimosa and finally reach the bridge over the Turnigla. A few meters above the bridge we climb from the orographic left bank.
Giro: Powerful stream in the upper part, which is generally easy to stay out of (see also above under "Characteristics"). Plenty of opportunity to jump. If you want to risk the lower parts, the ambience is impressive. Since mid-2009, the operators of the E-Werk with water tank have demanded that their facilities may no longer be entered in any way. This also applies to an integral inspection. Recently (Feb. 2010) there has also been talk of an allegedly imminent ban on accessing the gorge below the water catchment without any details being known (see: In the meantime, the ban on access and exit has become a reality. The Turnigla has 2 very different parts, as there is a water drainage into a water reservoir in the middle of the entire section. The upper part (highest rappel approx. 15m) has a relatively high water flow rate, which is where its specific difficulty lies. At one point, you have to leave the pool into which you abseil (10m) through a narrow chute into which all the water pours in a fairly concentrated manner from a height of around 9m - an unpleasant back massage even at "low water". There is a handrail in the vertical wall (to the left) as a workaround, but this must be equipped with the necessary rope independently (2008). A few jumps are possible in the upper section. After the water is drained (at about 960m above sea level), only a small amount of residual water usually remains in the streambed. Here, the ambience - blue-grey slate and blue-green coloration of the pools - is the focus of enjoyment. However, the danger of an unpredictable water supply hangs like the sword of Damocles over the lower parts, which would actually be suitable for beginners. Once each in 2007 and 2008, the author was surprised by a water supply, the second time due to faults in the electricity supply at the Mulin small power station (left at the exit). As both malfunctions could be rectified relatively quickly, we were only exposed to the swelling water for a relatively short time (10 - 20 minutes) and apparently only to the extent that the water drainage from the Turnigla itself no longer took place, i.e. we did not have more water than in the upper part. This would put the danger into perspective. However, a verbal inquiry with employees at the Mulin small power station on site revealed that the water reservoir is not only fed by the discharge from the Turnigla, but also by an additional spring directly from inside the mountain. Its flow rate is said to be up to 200 ltr/sec. The water discharge from the Turnigla adds at least 70 ltr/sec (at "low water"). If this entire volume of water is added to the lower parts - or even flushed out - everyone can imagine the consequences for those parts of the gorge that are surprised by the flood. Although there are always areas where you can climb up to slightly higher platforms, there is no escape route in either the upper or lower parts - only the possibility to get out when the water is drained.

Ritorno: On exit at the water tank: via steel pins and wire rope handrail onto the concrete footbridge (rappeling left past the water intake directly to the concrete footbridge is also possible), shimmy around the metal grating, over the external water tank and down along the field path to the ascent path. Return to the vehicle along this path. On exit after the 2nd part: Exit left at the E-Werk, head south across the parking lot and then down the road in an easterly direction ("Trin") to the parked vehicle.

Accesso: On the Swiss A 13 from Lake Constance southward to Chur. Continue in the direction of San Bernardino. 7 km after Chur-West leave the A 13 in the direction of Flims. 5 km after leaving the A 13 we pass through a tunnel. Immediately after its western exit turn right in the direction of "Trin-Mulin". Above the tunnel we go back about 100m and then turn right to Mulin. Immediately after this turnoff we see on the left below an area where we can park the vehicle.

Avvicinamento: From the inn we go down again a few meters on the approach road and then turn right (1940m altitude) on a slope that leads us via Alpe Mughels (2000m altitude) to another alp on Sogn Martin. There the exit ends (1985m altitude). We now take a trail that goes up the slope in a northwesterly direction. At about 2110m altitude, we leave the path and keep going in an exactly westerly direction towards "our" stream, which we reach at 2170m altitude. Here it is easy to climb into the creek and we deposit here at least the ropes for the 46m rappel. Until then, a 20m rope is sufficient. Also the backpacks should be packed here and possibly reduced so that the many narrow passages can be mastered without major problems. Thus "relieved" we climb now on the orographic left edge of the canyon upwards. We cross a hiking trail (2230m altitude) and further up we meet a hiking trail that crosses the stream to the left here (2320m altitude). Above the bridge we enter the gravel bed of the stream, where then also immediately begins the gorge.
Giro: We pinch off through narrow chutes, squeeze through rock crevices following the meanders of the stream and crawl under rock arches. Where we meet our rope depot, the descent becomes more attractive, but also more technically demanding. Below the 46m rappel, a series of smaller steps awaits us until the tour ends at the confluence with the Ual Draus.
