Verzasca Valley Canyoning Corippo Gorge for Families

This canyoning tour in Corippo is a playful experience for families in the Verzasca Valley. The adventure starts right away by passing through the small village of Corippo, with its stone houses and granite slate roofs. Then the real adventure begins in a diverse gorge featuring narrow passages, green pools, wild vegetation, many natural slides, and optional jumps.

After the safety briefing, you'll practise basic abseiling techniques, try a small test jump, and experience your first slide. Together, you'll then decide whether to explore the entire canyon or stay in the upper section to discover different abseil, jump, and slide options. This way, the experience can be tailored perfectly to the group.

To wrap up, the tour ends with a slide right into the Vogorno reservoir. Afterwards, you swim to the shore and make your way back to the starting point. The canyon offers plenty of variety and is ideal for a family outing.
