Introduction

Rather aquatic canyon where some parts are covered by big boulders.

Approach

It is possible to walk up from Tierfehd, but there's also a possibility for an alpine taxi. At Hintersand there are two bigger streams coming in, Oberstafelbach, and Bifertenbach. Bifertenbach is on the left side, and a hiking path goes up, and even crosses the canyon just at its start.

Descent

Several active rappels in strong waterflow, partially underneith boulders.

Exit

Same as the way up, minus the length of the canyon.
