Summary: machine translated ➜

Alpine canyon, combined with Carrecchio a long, very beautiful tour.

Access: machine translated ➜

At Lavertezzo, take the road to Verzuolo and park up there.

Approach (2 h 30): machine translated ➜

Same as for Carecchio Sup. but then it's another 300m up to Garèd on a path that is no longer clearly visible. It is best to download the Swisstopo map section.

Tour (4 h): machine translated ➜

Many longer slab rappels, in an impressive gulch for such a small catchment area.

Return (1 h 15): machine translated ➜

After the hiking trail, either walk back along the path or continue rappeling down to Carecchio Sup.

Cool thing to extend Carecchio. Beautiful but strenuous superintegrals.

Danger notice / Disclaimer

Walking in gorges (canyoning) involves non-obvious and potentially lethal dangers! In order to face them adequately, a thorough preparation of any walk is absolutely necessary. Reading the information available on this website is in no way sufficient for such a thorough preparation.

The available descriptions are based on personal experiences of different climbers and accordingly give a subjective impression of the conditions at a certain date in the past. The conditions can change significantly at any time due to, among other things, the weather (precipitation, snowmelt, ...) or possible events in alpine terrain (rockfalls, avalanches, ...). The described technical installations can also change radically due to natural events (floods, corrosion) or human intervention (vandalism, theft, ...).
