Approach[edit]

Desde Biasca salimos direccion Lucomagno-Malvaglia, a unos 4 km encontramos un puente en la carretera y antes a la derecha el parking. Del parking sale el sendero a la izq. orografica del barranco, atravesamos una cancela y subimos unos 15 minutos. Despues de varias revueltas sale una senda en ligero descenso a la izq. Subimos unos 5 minutos y llegamos a un cartel de la Hidroelectrica, donde empieza la bajada al barranco.

Descent[edit]

El barranco empieza abierto, un rapel de unos 20 metros y luego otro de 45 que nos deja en la gorga, otro par de rapeles cortos, un destrepe o salto y casi sin darnos cuenta la salida. Corto pero muy bonito.

Exit[edit]

Por debajo del puente al parking.
