Boggera Gorge Canyoning for active families from Cresciano

This canyoning tour in the Boggera Inferiore is designed for active families who want to enjoy water-based adventures. You'll encounter varied water sections, plenty of slides, optional jumps, and a few abseiling spots in a well-known gorge in Ticino.

Before starting, you'll practice jumping, sliding, and abseiling in a training pool. Then, the route continues through stretches of bright granite and clear pools. Many sections can be skipped or bypassed depending on the group.

The tour deliberately avoids the narrow bottleneck called the Schlitz. This keeps the experience sporty and diverse without losing its family-friendly vibe.
