Description

This canyoning trip through Boggera Inferiore is for people who are in good shape and want to take on a challenging gorge in Ticino. Look forward to plenty of slides, lots of optional jumps and tricky abseils through bright, gleaming granite.

Before entering the gorge, you’ll practise jumping, sliding and abseiling in a pool. Then it’s on to a varied route with water sections, technical passages and striking features such as the slot. Unlike the shorter option, this trip continues all the way down to the valley.

Many sections can be bypassed or skipped as needed. This makes Boggera Inferiore a sporty, varied canyoning experience with an impressive route.

Canyoning equipment

  • Hypoallergenic two-piece wetsuit (trousers and jacket) with hood
  • Canyoning shoes and hypoallergenic neoprene socks
  • Canyoning harness and two safety lanyards with screw-gate carabiners
  • Helmet tested for rockfall impact

What to bring

  • Swimwear (swimming trunks, swimsuit or bikini)
  • Towel
  • For the walk up, and in colder weather or if you tend to feel the cold, you can wear close-fitting thermal underwear, ski base layers or similar under your wetsuit. IMPORTANT: It should be made of synthetic fibres or merino wool, not cotton, as cotton tends to make you feel colder rather than warmer.
