Those looking for adrenaline experiences in Piedmont will surely have heard of canyoning. This water activity can be practiced in Valsesia and in other Piedmont valleys. Anyone who has gone canyoning at least once in their life knows that the thrills given by this discipline are unparalleled. Diving into pools of crystal clear water, descending along waterfalls supported by a rope, sliding down natural slides is what makes canyoning a unique adventure.
Going canyoning in Piedmont also means discovering hidden and often otherwise inaccessible places. This always requires the support of a mountain guide which ensures the maximum safety and makes the activity practicable for people of all ages and levels.

Canyoning, also called canyoneering, is an exploratory practice of river environments. It consists of walking the course of a stream through rocky gorges, cliffs and rough sections. It involves swimming past natural corridors and pools, rope rappels, diving from slides and rocky spurs, and more.
Canyoning is an activity for everyone. All it takes is good aquatics and some courage to dive in, although obstacles can often be circumvented. There are trails for all levels and, in any case, the activity is always preceded by a briefing on progression techniques and safety rules.
To do canyoning you must wear a swimsuit, thermal shirt and sneakers. The outdoor center provides the neoprene wetsuit, helmet and technical equipment.
The best canyoning trails in Piedmont are found in Valsesia, Val d’Ossola and Val Chisone. Generally, streams are divided into sections of different difficulty so that all types of participants can find the most suitable solution.
Canyoning on the Sorba River in Valsesia is known for its strong acrobatic and adrenaline component. Also in the area, you can travel the Sesia Gorge in a less reckless but equally fascinating trail.
In the Ossola Valley in the Verbano region, canyoning can be done on the Rio Lasino, while those who want to go canyoning near Turin can opt for the Rio Claro in the Chisone Valley, an hour drive from the capital.
Canyoning in Piedmont costs 50 to 75 euros per person depending on the location and the difficulty of the course. Some centers also organize multiple experiences, where other activities such as adventure trails, mountain-bike tours or barbecues are added to the canyoning course. In this case you spend 90 to 100 euros per person.

Well-prepared young people who love their work and who adapt to those they have to accompany down the hill with great politeness and professionalism, my 12-year-old daughter and I had a great time.

Great experience, adrenaline-pumping and makes you face your fears. It's great fun, you're in the middle of nature and you face a series of obstacles, all safely and you don't need to have experience. Giorgio is very good and explains well how you have to do it, you just have to execute and let yourself go, the rest will be taken care of by the natural slides of the Canyon. Highly recommended and worth doing again.

A great experience even for someone like me who is not really a sportswoman. Pablo and his partner were very nice and kind. The route we took is a mix of fun, adrenaline and contact with incredible nature and Pablo was an excellent guide taking us to wonderful places!

Activity organised with a group of 11 friends for a 40th birthday. Very fun and well organised activity to fully appreciate the hidden landscapes of Valsesia. Only flaw that the common shoes are not quite appropriate, it would be better if they included them in the equipment.
