Canyoning at Lower Pontirone near Cresciano

This canyoning tour takes you through Pontirone in the Val di Pontirone. The gorge is short, narrow, and intense. You'll encounter a high abseil point, deep passages, and several optional jumps.

After the approach, the tour starts with a 40 m abseil. The gorge then narrows and reveals impressive rock formations. The many jumps are a highlight, including an optional 11 m leap.

At the end of the gorge, you return directly to the starting point. The tour combines abseiling, jumping, and narrow water sections in a compact gorge.
