Cugnasco canyoning for experienced canyoneers

On this guided canyoning tour for experienced gorge hikers, you can explore the Cugnasco Gorge and its adrenaline-filled obstacles. You will meet your guide in the parking lot in Cugnasco. You then begin a short ascent (30-40 minutes) to the starting point.

Once you arrive at the launch site, your guide will give you a short briefing and familiarize you with the rules and techniques. In the Cugnasco canyon, not only great natural slides and narrow gorges await you for 3 hours, but also impetuous waterfalls up close. You jump into the cool water of the clear river, swim and overcome new obstacles again and again.

At lunchtime, you can take a short break and enjoy the fantastic natural surroundings with a small picnic of Ticino specialties. Then the canyoning continues. Finally, you leave the mystical surroundings of the valley and return to the starting point by car.
