Approach[edit]
In the center of Sappada park the car in the parking lot on the left side of the bridge across the Rio Muhlbach, on the main road Sappada-Forni Avloltri.
Longer approach: From the parking lot, cross the bridge and immediately turn left (sign for marked path CAI 135) , follow the road to the school, where you turn left. Followed by bad road that winds steeply up the hill to the small church, follow the road next to the old house where is a sign for Riffugio M.Ferro-marked path CAI 141 (on the left side are ski fences), turn left and descend to the stream bed. On the right side of the creek descent to the concrete barrier, bypass it on the right and you are on the start of the canyon.
Shorter approach: From the parking lot turn left and find the marked path Cai 3 Sentiero Nat. Ferro. Take this path and after about 100 high meters when the path close to the creek, turn right into the riverbed. This approach is unverified and probably this is the entry used by local guides.
