Ein einmaliges Juwel. Wahrscheinlich die schönste Schlucht in sehr weitem Umkreis. Sportlich anspruchsvoll, entsprechende Fachkenntnisse, Kondition und Ausrüstung erforderlich. Es wird alles geboten, was das gehobene Canyonautenherz begehrt. Kein Ausstieg für Stunden! Insgesamt deutlich weniger ernst als Val Clusa.
A unique jewel. Probably the most beautiful canyon in a very wide area. Demanding in terms of sport, appropriate expertise, fitness and equipment required. It offers everything a canyoneer's heart desires. No exit for hours! Altogether much less serious than Val Clusa.

Zunächst enger werdenen Schlucht (2-3h) mit Rutschen, Sprüngen, Abseiler bis 30m. Dann der Zusammenfluß mit dem (auch sehr lohnenden Val Pisson). Eine Verschnaufpause auf Felsabsatz, dann 35m in gewaltigen Kessel abseilen. ("Mini-Trou de Fer"). Weiter abseilend wird's offener und etwas verspielter, aber es wartet noch einiges an Arbeit.. Hier haben wir Sprünge bis 18m absolviert...Letzlich gelangt man zu den Schaufällen am Ende vor der Einmündung in den See. Toll ist die kleine Halbhöhle mit Sitzecke aus Stein rechts. Je nach Pegelstand vom Lago del Mis evtl einige Meter Unterwasser!
First narrow canyon (2-3h) with slides, jumps, rappels up to 30m. Then the confluence with the Val Pisson (also very rewarding). A breather on a ledge, then a 35m rappel into a huge cauldron. ("Mini-Trou de Fer"). Further on the rappel becomes more open and a little more playful, but there is still a lot of work to do... Here we completed jumps of up to 18m... Finally, you reach the Schaufällen at the exit before the confluence with the lake. The small half-cave with a stone seating area on the right is great. Depending on the water level of the Lago del Mis, it may be a few meters underwater!

Ancoraggi ottimi, pozze da verificare prima di tuffarsi. Usciti alla diga di cemento verso destra
Anchors good, puddles to check before diving. Exit at the concrete dam to the right.

Hello,
I was planning to run this canyon last year, and was told by people at the café near the exit that access to the canyon is forbidden and that rangers patrol and fine poeple using it. Does anyone know if this is still the case? Also @bina from your description is sounds like exit via the lake is prohibited by the land owner? Would be very greatful for any and all information!
Thanks

Eine tolle Schlucht 😃.
Bitte unbedingt die letzten 2 Abseiler nach der betonierten Stelle weglassen und auf einem Pfad zur Strasse aussteigen, Alle nachfolgenden Canyonisten werden es danken. (Ist die Bitte eines Einheimischen)
A great canyon 😃.
Please be sure to skip the last 2 rappels after the concreted section and exit on a path to the road, all canyonists following will thank you. (This is a request from a local)

Zu zweit im Eiltempo Forti, Pisson, Sofia gemacht (und noch den Rucksack einer anderen Gruppe aus einem Pool gefischt), weil wir danach noch 5 Stunden Autofahrt hatten.
The two of us made Forti, Pisson, Sofia in a rush (and fished another group's rucksack out of a pool) because we still had a 5-hour drive afterwards.
