Introduction[edit]
Val-Rinaldo is a very long alpine canyon in dolomite rock, located near Sappada in the Val Rinaldo valley. The canyon is sometimes a slightly discontinuos, but very wild, impressive and an adventure trip in isolated valley. The descent is easily divisible in three parts, separated from each other by few houndred meters of down climbing and walking. The cecond part is the most beautifull, deep and very narrow, sometimes only 1'5 meters. A strong current ( even in summer) and bare-bones rigging mean that the canyon should not be understimated, because some demanding down climbing and rappeling into the water jet. Take with you some extra bolts and some cutting rope.
