Introduction[edit]
Torrente Tolina is a quite big canyon located near Forni di Sopra. The canyon is in the forested area, sometimes very narrow but discontinues and with very slippery rock. You can find some fallen trees and murky water in to the canyon. The start of the canyon is basically Rio Tartoiana which is after the first narrow part merges with Torrente Tolina. The canyon is equipped in expedition style, but after confluence ( Tolina and Tartoiana) you can see a lot of quite new anchors on the right side but they are out of reach.

Approach[edit]
From Tolmezzo drive towards to Forni di Sopra and Vico village, when you cross the bridge over the river Torrente Tolina (village Vico), turn right on Via Roma street (the second street after the bridge). Continue along Via Roma to the end and then turn on Via Novri street ( the sign for CAI 208 , C.ra Tragonia and C.ra Tartoi). Continue along this street to the small hydroelectric power station Idro di Noiaris (SECAB), where you leave the first car. With the second car continue along the road until you reach the stream. Park your car on the right side near the old house.
The entrance is on the left side of the dam, which you can see from the parking lot.
