Maggia Valley Val Grande Canyoning

Canyoning is done in a group. It is aimed at beginners as well as advanced. All canyoning activities you practice under the guidance of a certified canyoning guide.

After the meeting you will drive together to the canyon and get your equipment. You will hike for about 40-50 min to the canyon. After an instruction by the guide you will practice deep jumps and rapid slides up to 10 m in the Val Grande. At a 30 m deep waterfall you will abseil down.

As a surprise the "cannon tube" is planned as a finale. At the end of the canyoning tour a Happy Landing Apéro awaits the participants.

Practical information:

• Bring along: Depending on the weather, additional synthetic sports underwear for better heat insulation (no cotton), sports tape for your glasses if necessary

Avegno is a pretty village that was built in the 16th century directly on the Maggia River. Worth seeing are the picturesque stone houses and the church of Santi Luca e Abbondio in the district of Terra di Mezzo. The village is part of the protected sites of Switzerland. A signposted tour of the village lets you relive the history of 600 years ago. The tour lasts up to four hours.
