Waterlevel may higher than normal but still ok even rappels through the waterfalls. Lots of slippery spots - take care.

Short but funny jumps. Early season already some commercial tours there. Combination with another tour close by is recommended (Häselgehrbach).

Water levels okey. Fun trip!

Leider sehr lange Gehstrecke für wenig Canyon. Zwar in einer schönen Umgebung aber dennoch eher ein wandercanyon mit einigen Sprungmöglichkeiten. Wir hhaben kein einziges Mal ein Seil benötigt, sondern sind alles gesprungen, dennoch Seil mitnehmen, weil bei niedrigerem Wasserstand einige Sprünge nicht möglich wären. Ich habe einen weiteren Parkpoint hinzugefügt, der näher am Einstieg ist, dann erspart man sich ca 2km gehen ndem man relativ unkompliziert die Schotterstraße runter fährt.

Unfortunately very long walking passages for a small canyon. Although in a beautiful setting, it is still more of a hiking canyon with a few possible jumps. We didn't need a rope once, but jumped everything, but still take a rope with you, because some jumps would not be possible at lower water levels. I added another park point closer to the entry point, which saves you about 2km of walking and makes it relatively easy to drive down the gravel road.

Discesa la parte alta della Valbona entrando a quota 1100. A quota 1060 compare l'acqua e dopo 25 minuti di river trekking iniziano i salti di roccia con una calata in riva sx per attraversare un caos di massi. Altri 20 minuti di disarrampicate in pozze non fonde e la gola si chiude e verticalizza. Nove ostacoli e tra tuffi di 8 metri, calate su armi singoli, armi naturali e ringhiere (presa ENEL) è un buono inizio prima di scendere la parte classica della Valbona. Tra fine parte alta e inizio parte più conosciuta c'è un tratto di river trekking di circa dieci minuti.

Descended the upper part of Valbona entering at elevation 1100. At elevation 1060 water appears and after 25 minutes of river trekking the rock jumps begin with a rappel down the left bank to cross a chaos of boulders. Another 20 minutes of unclimbing into unmelted pools and the gorge closes and verticalizes. Nine obstacles and between 8-meter dives, rappels on single weapons, natural weapons and railings (ENEL hold) is a good start before descending the classic part of Valbona. Between the end of the upper part and the beginning of the better-known part is a river trek of about ten minutes.

Begangen und anschließend die Beschreibung usw. aktualisiert. Haken sind im Top Zustand. Immer 2 Klebehaken mit Kette verbunden und Doppelring.

Walked and then updated the description etc. Anchors are in top condition. Always 2 glued anchors connected with chain and double ring.

Schöne Abseiler und Felsformationen. Sehr rutschig. Super eingerichtet.

Beautiful rappel and rock formations. Very slippery. Superiore equipped.

Coole Jumps. Sonst ok.

Cool jumps. Otherwise ok.

Stände alle i.O, trotz teils Rost. IdR Kettenstände mit Klebehaken. Ein paar Abseilstellen sind dem Felssturz zum Opfer gefallen, aber gut abkletter oder umgehbar. Rutschig wars schon. Teils sonnig mittags. Stellenweise kann man noch den ein oder anderen Haken setzen.

Stands all OK, despite some rust. IdR chain anchors with glued anchors. A few downclimbs fell victim to the rockslide, but were easy to downclimb or bypass. It was slippery. Partly sunny at noon. In places you can still set one or two anchors.

4.5 Steine überspült. Stellenweise in den gehpassagen rutschig zu gehen.

4.5 Stones washed over. Slippery in places in the walking passages.

Im oberen Teil fliesst noch wenig Wasser , ab der Fassung praktisch trocken.

Little water flows in the upper part, practically dry from the socket onwards.
