Canyoning is a way of descending the mountain, therefore it is correct to say that it allows to deeply know the mountain itself.
From the high peaks of the Sibillini Mountains the water flows, flows down to Valnerina through sinuous and deep paths; in its thousand-year erosive action the water dug deeply inside the rock.
Gorges and canyons are the results
Accompanied by qualified personnel you enter the canyon with the ropes, slipping and diving into the pools.

We offer two different types of routes:

BASE Canyoning -Torrentismo at “La Mola Perduta “
ADVANCED Canyoning – Torrentismo at the “Forra del Casco”
