Canyoning in the Gran Paradiso park Rio Vallungo Canavese Piedmont
The Orco Valley, characterized by imposing granite walls, is the ideal place for those who love canyoning. In fact, there are many streams that descend from the upper valley, set in walls that have carved out for millennia, creating pools with crystal clear water, slides and tabogues, high jumps that we will face with descents into the void or memorable dives. The canyoning activity that we propose in Gran Paradiso is the descent of the Rio Vallungo, one of the most interesting canyoning itineraries in the entire North-West, and is perfect for beginners and for those looking for an exciting but accessible adventure. Led by our expert Alpine Guides specialized in canyoning, you will have the opportunity to explore a suggestive canyon with crystal clear waters, natural slides and pools for diving and swimming, and to experience the emotions of otherwise unreachable gorges, with crystal clear and pristine waters. The itinerary has been specially designed to ensure a safe and fun experience for all participants. The route features a series of easy and fun descents that include small jumps, slides and short rope sections, all immersed in a breathtaking landscape. During the activity, the guides will be at your side to provide you with the necessary instructions and assistance. In addition to the exciting adventure in the canyon, you can admire the uncontaminated beauty of the Valle dell’Orco and Gran Paradiso, with its imposing rock walls, roaring waterfalls and lush vegetation. This corner of natural paradise offers a suggestive atmosphere and a sense of peace and tranquility that will make you forget daily stress. The Canyoning activity in the Gran Paradiso Rio Vallungo Canavese Piemonte park is suitable for all those who are in good physical health and are not afraid of water. No previous canyoning experience is required, but it is essential to follow the guides’ directions and wear the safety equipment provided (included in the fee). Get ready to live an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park. Let yourself be fascinated by the beauty of the Orco Valley and the thrill of canyoning, one of the most exciting activities to come into contact with wild and uncontaminated nature. Book your canyoning adventure in the Orco Valley and prepare to create lasting memories and unique sensations. We are ready to accompany you in this extraordinary experience of discovery and fun.Copri
