Introduction[edit]

A very long canyon, and even longer trip. The start of the canyon is not easy to reach, best option probably being starting in San Bernadino and walking over the Pass dei Omenit (1600m to 2500m) before going down to the start of the canyon at 2170m. If you plan leave out the uppermost section and start at 1920m of altitude, it probably makes more sense to walk up the valley itself.

Last descent has been done a while ago and there are big flood waves in this region, so take a drill with you.
