Beautiful canyon – pure pleasure!

A classic canyoning trip located near Locarno in the Maggia valley. A wet playground for all in a beautiful gorge: spectacular abseils, long slides and some great jumps, and still suitable for the adventurous beginner!

The Gorge in the Valley Grande is ideal for canyoning newbies because the difficulties increase gradually, while providing enough adrenaline for “Old hands”: high jumps (which also can be abseiled down), natural water slides and exhilarating descent through the colourful granite walls make the gorge versatile and varied. Highlights are the amazing rappel down the 25 m-high waterfall, the so-called “mini Niagara”, as well as the grand finale, the “barrel of a gun” – let yourself be surprised!
