Canyoning in the Riancoli Gorge

Experience the thrills of canyoning and venture into the Riancoli gorge in the Monti Navegna and Cervia Nature Reserve on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo. Here runs a seemingly tranquil torrent...

As you walk through the rocky gorges , you will realise that the river is actually alive and bubbling, full of small waterfalls, natural slides and breathtaking routes that will allow you to be in close contact with nature.

You will dive into crystal-clear pools, slide on toboggans and abseil next to the waterfalls of the Riancoli canyon. A perfect mix of adrenaline and fun!

What we will do

The meeting point is set at Bar Casabianca in Carsoli (AQ ) at 10:00 am. Here we will meet our guide, who will provide us with the necessary equipment and lead us to the entrance of the canyon located in the municipality of Collalto Sabino (RI), a 30-minute walk. Here he will conduct a briefing on progression techniques and safety rules. Then, having donned wetsuit and helmet, we will be ready to set off.

At the beginning, the torrent appears calm and will allow us to become familiar with theriver environment, after which the real fun will begin with dips in the crystal-clear water pools and slides on the toboggans.

As we progress along the route, the walls of the gorge become more and more vertical and the water becomes more and more lively and bubbly. We can then abseil down the falls securely secured by a rope. A truly adrenalin-pumping and fun experience that will culminate at the top of the approximately 12-metre high waterfall.

Along the way, the guide will be at our side to provide us with all the necessary support and make us experience the adventure in total safety. Upon exiting the canyon, it will take about 10 minutes on foot to return to the starting point. The activity has a total duration of about 3 hours for a 2 km-long route.
