Summary:
Apparently only a small anonymous stream. Unexpectedly, there is a deep carving in a very particular rock, the Gonfolite. The canyon is short but the particular geology of the place will compensate for the lack.

Summary:
Apparently only a small anonymous stream. Unexpectedly, there is a deep carving in a very particular rock, the Gonfolite. The canyon is short but the particular geology of the place will compensate for the lack.
Access:
From Varese take Via Monte Generoso and then Via dei Vignò (University of Insubria gym area), continue along Via dei Vignò up to a junction to 5 streets and park your car on the roadside in such a way that not obstruct circulation (45°47'50.3"N 8°51'30.1"E).
Approach (10 min):
From the crossroad of 5 streets continue straight holding the right, where Via dei Vignò becomes dirt and enters the forest (direction Goccia d'oro Ranch). Continue for about 150 meters and after a wall of rock blocks reassemble on the left bank to earn the grass above. From the lawn skirt the fence of the houses, turn the corner and at a gate follow a trail that descends steep into the valley. You will enter the river at the beginning of the canyon.
Tour (45 min):
