Description

In Canyon Lodrino, you find towering rock walls, clear pools, and narrow passages made of light gneiss. The canyon feels like another world and impresses with its crystal-clear water.
If you're experienced and fit, you'll encounter many intense moments here. The beauty of the canyon is hard to beat. Lodrino is challenging and tests you with abseiling sections up to 50 meters high.
You slide through long, winding rock chutes and jump from various heights. There are also peaceful sections where you can swim and relax. The play of light between dark crevices and bright pools will surely stay in your memory for a long time.
