Maggia Valley Val Grande canyoning for beginners starting from Gordevio

This canyoning tour in Val Grande is designed for sporty beginners and repeaters looking to take the next step. You'll experience a long gorge with white granite rock, glowing pools, waterfalls, and many playful sections.

Within the canyon, you'll continuously alternate between slides, optional jumps, and abseiling points. The 24-meter high waterfall and several rope-slide combinations are especially striking. Additionally, there are narrow passages and impressive rock landscapes right in the heart of the Valle Maggia.

Val Grande is considered a tour of moderate difficulty and is the easiest option among the more challenging tours. This way, you'll enjoy a varied gorge full of nature without any waiting times.

Some of the jumps in this diverse canyon can even be repeated! The 25-meter-high waterfall you'll rappel down is nicknamed "Little Niagara" by the locals.
