Canyoning is done in a group. It is aimed at advanced sportsmen with experience. All canyoning activities are carried out under the guidance of a certified guide.
After the meeting in the base of the organizer you will get detailed information about the further course of the tour as well as your equipment. Together you will drive to the Pontirone gorge and hike for about 40 minutes to the entrance of the canyon.
In the lower part of the Pontirone canyon you will do deep jumps up to 11 m and fast slides up to 8 m. At a waterfall you will rope down. At a waterfall you abseil down to 46 m and experience a cave-like canyon landscape. At the end of the canyoning tour the return journey and a happy landing aperitif awaits the participants.
