A legendary canyoning adventure in the Maggia valley near Locarno. A wet playground for all ages in a stunning gorge: amazing abseils, lengthy slides, and some fantastic jumps, all while being accessible to the daring beginning!

The Valley Grande Gorge is ideal for canyoning beginners because the difficulties increase gradually while still providing enough adrenaline for "Old hands": high jumps (which can also be abseiled down), natural water slides, and an exhilarating descent through the colorful stone walls make the gorge versatile and varied. Highlights include the incredible rappel down the 25-meter-high waterfall, dubbed "mini Niagara," and the big finale, the "barrel of a gun" - be prepared to be astonished!
