WaterflowIntroduction
In a region where canyons are pretty much not existent, the glaciers of the Piz Palü were able to carve a beautiful gorge into the hard rock of the Bernina mountains. It doesn't come as a surprise that this canyon has a very big catchment area and is only doable due to a water reservoir.
Approach
Use the Bernina Express (train) to get to Alp Grüm, for there it is a short walk to the upper section, right underneith the Lagh da Palü.
Descent
Some anchors are old and not easy to reach, but the canyon is very nicely carved, and continuous. Between the two section there is slightly more than 1 km to walk though.
Exit
The end is made of boulders, you will need to downclimb then until the first hiking path crosses the river.
