Introduction[edit]
Rio Bordaglia is a left tributary of the river Torrente Degano and is located in the Valley of Val Degano near Forni Avoltri in the region of Friuli. Forra del Torrente Bordaglia is a tourist attraction and from 2014 the path that runs along the gorge has been rebuilt. From wooden plates and balconys along the path you can enjoy the views into the Canyon. The canyon is very short , with some low rappels, appr. 15m deep and very narrow. The walls in the canyon are nice polish, the water is beautiful colors and quite cold. The canyon on spring and early summer is probably not transient, because due high water level. The canyon is equipped in expedition style with some hard downclimbing( max 3m).

From Forni Avoltri drive towards to Sappade, when you cross the bridge over the river Degano, turn right towards Pierabech in Val Degano valley. In Pierabech they fill very famous natural drinking water Goccia di Carnia. Park the car in the parking lot on the right side of the road near tourist board for the Lago Bordaglia and for the Forra nel rio Bordaglia gorge.
From the parking lot follow the path Sentiero naturalistico della Forra di Bordaglia(CAI 141), wich cross Torrente Degano river and and lead to the top of the Canyon.
