Summary: machine translated ➜

Open rappel canyon down into Val Porta

Access: machine translated ➜

We go up into the Verzasca Valley until Vogorno (495m above sea level). There we take the narrow road up to Costapiana. About 50 m after the second (outside the village) leftward haipin bend (620m a.s.l.) we park the car on the right in a small parking bay.

Approach (20 min): machine translated ➜

Directly in front of the parking bay there are numerous signposts on a metal pole, including one to "Colletta". We follow it and in a few minutes we arrive at the bridge over the Torrente Molino on a quasi-horizontal path through vineyards.

Tour (2 h 30): machine translated ➜

First in open terrain over smaller rappels downhill, then later over somewhat longer rappels down into the Val Porta. In the watery Riale della Porta, the descent to the reservoir is attractive.

Return (30 min): machine translated ➜

To the right up the steep slope with a small climb (if you want to avoid the latter, there are also exits before, read in the book of Nizzola, but not easy to find). We come to a saddle and follow the path to the left uphill. We meet another path and we go up it first to the right, but at the first opportunity we go up again to the left. At the first left-hand bend outside the village of Vogorno we come back to the approach road (well, 550m above sea level). From here on the road or a shortcut footpath in a few minutes up to the car.
