Everything you need to know before going canyoning
Canyoning is an aquatic discipline that involves exploring the bed of a mountain stream. Assisted by a mountain guide, you walk through the canyon’s gorges and narrow passages and rappel between waterfalls and rock walls. Natural slides and dives into pools of crystal-clear water are the most playful part of a canyoning trail. The activity requires no specific skills other than good aquatics and the ability to swim where the course requires it.
Val Bodengo Canyoning: an adventure among waterfalls and natural slides
Val Bodengo Canyoning starts from the town of Gordona, in the province of Sondrio. This is one of the most popular routes among canyoning enthusiasts and is divided into three levels, from beginner to expert. The course is an adrenaline-pumping mix of slides, waterfalls, deep pools to plunge into, vertiginous gorges, and walls up to 60 meters of height from which to abseil using a rope.
The Val Bodengo 1 course can also be done by children 8 years old and up, and does not require previous experience but swimming skills are necessary. However, other routes require at least previous experience and good physical condition.

Alternative and unrepeatable bachelor party!
One of the most exciting days I've ever experienced! Apart from the initial organisation by the staff who helped me throughout the whole preparation phase: since some torrents were in flood, the girls managed to find me good alternatives... And the demand was tough: with enough water to have fun, less than two hours from home, possibly without traffic on the way back as it was 2 June. Gianluca is the guy who followed us on the adventure. Extremely clear explanations that allow you to push yourself to the max in the fun. To be repeated, soon!

Beautiful experience
Our heartfelt thanks go to Ivan, our guide who kept us entertained throughout the whole trip. We have never met such a well-prepared and at the same time easy-going, friendly and engaging guide. He knew how to put us at ease and in safety immediately, teaching us the basics. It was an experience that we will definitely repeat with him. We highly recommend him, with him we felt safe and relaxed, and above all we thank him for this morning together. Thank you very much Ivan; best regards Noemi and Alberto.

Canyoning in val bodengo
I chose the Bodengo1 route, which is the easiest in terms of difficulty level. Despite the fact that it was my first canyoning experience, I had no particular difficulties, in fact I would recommend it to anyone who wants to approach this sport

Awesome
Absolutely fantastic guide. Nice spontaneous and helpful guy. Experience was 10/10. The course included slides, abseiling, jumps (2 to 8m). Only thing to mention is the road up to the location is a private road. Which requires a €6 fee. A ticket for this road is obtainable at any bar in the village. Me and my girlfriend did the activity together and felt in the safest of hands. We would definetely do it again!
