Full description
If you have adventure running through your veins, you'll love this dry canyoning!
Come to the province of Bergamo and put yourself to the test with 12 rope descents in the Forra Valle dei Matti! You will be able to explore the beauty of the canyon thanks to the mountain guide who will accompany you and experience the thrill of the descent.
Get ready for 3 and a half hours of pure adrenaline!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Sovere (BG).
Awaiting us will be our mountain guide, who will explain the day's programme. After an initial welcome, we will get back into our cars and follow the guide for about 1 km, until we reach the entrance to the path we will have to take. Here we will receive thenecessary equipment: helmet and harness.
We will start with a short uphill walk to the entrance of the Forra Valle dei Matti. The guide will give a technical briefing of about 10 minutes, explaining the correct use of the equipment and the basic manoeuvres for rappelling.
We will then enter the gorge, a wild and waterless environment, completely immersed in nature. Along the way we will encounter 12 rope descents, almost all between 5 and 12 metres, and we will enjoy tackling them together with the guide, in a crescendo of adrenalin that will culminate with two 20-metre abseils.
During the experience we will also discover many geological curiosities about the place, such as the presence of erratic boulders. In addition, we will be able to stop from time to time to take some souvenir photos.
Finally, at the bottom of the gorge we will enter a small cave with a natural spring where we can drink very fresh water. Refreshed, we will return to the starting point with a 10-minute walk.
The activity will last a total of 3½ hours, including briefing and transfers.

The activity is suitable for everyone from the age of 10. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied, while those over 16 can participate with a release form signed by a responsible adult.
