Advanced Boggera Canyoning starting from Cresciano

This canyoning tour in the Boggera Inferiore is designed for people with good fitness who want to tackle a challenging gorge in Ticino. You’ll face plenty of slides, numerous optional jumps, and tricky abseils on bright, shiny granite.

Before starting, you’ll practice jumping, sliding, and abseiling in a pool. Afterwards, the route takes you through a varied gorge with water sections, technical spots, and distinctive features like the slot. Unlike the shorter version, this tour continues all the way down to the valley.

Many sections can be bypassed or skipped as needed, letting you experience the Boggera Inferiore as a sporty and versatile canyoning adventure with impressive lines.
