Access: machine translated ➜

approx. 20min+5min From Domodossola on the SS33 direction Simplon Pass (Switzerland). In Gondo, just after the Swiss border (before the gas station) turn left down to the parking lot. Here you can park the shuttle car right next to the exit. With the 2nd car you drive behind the parking lot up the mountain road (several serpentine curves). After the last serpentine there are a few houses. Park here still before the small fork left at the mirror.

Approach (2 min): machine translated ➜

2min/20min From the parking lot, go forward a few meters until you see clear climbing tracks in the stream (1056m). Without a shuttle car, follow the mountain road until you reach the hiking trail "Stockalperweg" The trail crosses the road a few times. After about 20min. you reach the parking entry. It is highly advisable to check the water level beforehand, from the lowest wooden bridge (key point).

Tour (3 h): machine translated ➜

The continuous watery canyon offers slides, jumps and rappel in partly very deep pools. The water level or depth should always be checked beforehand! Some pools regress at higher water levels. Also the abseils, especially in the lower part (key section) then become very dangerous. The canyon remains very entertaining until the end, but should never be underestimated. One of the highlights in the lower part, is a huge rock arch under which you swim through (possible jumps). Before the final waterfall, you can decide whether to exit left or continue descending (C40+ downclimb).

Return (0 min): machine translated ➜

approx. 0min/10min You can get out of the canyon at about 920m before the last waterfall on the left, via a small path. This leads to the road and shortly back to the parking lot. 2nd option: rappel over the last waterfall for about 40m and climb the rest on the right over stone slabs to the confluence of the Doveria at 850m. Then exit to the parking lot on the left.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Gondo Canyon parcouru avec des clients...attention le barrages a apparemment purgé des milliers de tonnes de sable et de boue, les vasques sont quasi pleines pourtant elles sont profondes....obligation de sonder de partout avant de tenter un saut ou toboggan....seule la partie finale est peu prêt propre....l'eau est par conséquent trouble, ce qui rajoute une difficulté pour sonder....je penses qu'il n'y a presque pas de poissons qui aurait pu survivre, merci pour les actions toujours très écologiques des barrages Valaisans !!priorité au fric et à la production comme d'habitude....ils font chier ces canyoneurs ils sont jamais contents !!!

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Gondo parcouru intégralement avec le perfo et des clients. Avons reequipé quelques relais qui étaient bien pliés.débit qui augmente avec l'affluence rive droite. un énorme névé qui double quasiment le débit.un peu de graviers dans certaines vasques mais tout passe bien sauts toboggans. Rappels avec des nouveaux relais. j'espère qu'ils supporteront quelques crues..... (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/2750/observations.html)

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Gondo Dc++, ça pousse dans les cascades. L'arche est juste exceptionnel... le rappel dans la faille est superbe. Tob eject au départ, sauts, eau transparente, que du bonheur. Beaucoup de relais défoncés par les crues ont été rénové mais pas tous...
