Boggera canyoning for active beginners from Cresciano

This canyoning tour takes you through the Boggera Inferiore near Cresciano. You'll find clear pools, plenty of slides, optional jumps, and some tricky abseiling spots on bright granite. Many sections can be skipped or bypassed.

Before starting, you reach the gorge via an approach path. There, one pool offers the chance to practice jumping, sliding, and abseiling. After that, varied water passages and two abseiling points follow.

The Boggera Canyon is one of the well-known gorges in Ticino. A standout part of the tour is the narrow cleft you reach here. During peak demand, waiting times may occur in the gorge.
