Demanding and long full-day trip with a very high abseil

During this full-day trip we combine the middle part of Malvaglia (= level intermediate) with the lower part (= level sporty) to a demanding and long daytrip in beautiful natural surroundings. The first half of the trip offers varied canyoning in a more open and light gorge, while the second half offers technical canyoning with several spectecular abseils: The last abseil is 80 (eighty!) metres high, along a vertical cliff face right next to a whooshing waterfall. Here, you need to be ok with heights, to be fit and ideally have some experience in canyoning and/or abseiling.

Trip procedure:

Our guides welcome you at our base where you receive detailed information about the trip as well as your equipment. Then we will drive to the canyon, where we park the cars close to the end of the trip and shuttle with our bus towards the entry point, which we will reach after a few minutes walk.

After the safety talk as well as comprehensive instructions you are ready to enter the canyon. During your tour you will negotiate one of Ticino’s steeper canyons – starting relatively easy this trip will challenge you; not for the fainthearted!

During a break on the side of the gorge  you will get the opportunity to refuel on a snack before embarking onto the second part of the trip – where an 80 m cliff face will await you for your last abseil. What a finish to a great gorge! 

After your return to the base the guides will prepare a Happy Landing Apero with snacks and drinks – a perfect end to a great experience.
