Canyoning is a relatively new sport involving the descent, on foot, of impervious stretches of mountain torrents.
Obstacles include natural slides, pools and waterfalls, to be overcome either with the help of ropes or simply by diving, sliding and clambering over them.
Canyoning is not an individual sport and must be practised in groups. Adequate equipment is essential as is a proper degree of preparation.
The sport is not without its dangers and visitors are recommended to get in touch with a club. Various sites in the Ticino canton offer opportunities for canyoning, so if it’s adventure and adrenaline you want, why not leave yourself go with the flow in one of our exciting rivers... taking all the necessary precautions of course!
