Val Grande Canyon, located in the Val Maggia, is a true playground for canyoning enthusiasts. Just 20 minutes from Locarno, this route offers natural slides, stunning rappels, and spectacular (optional) jumps. One of the highlights of the adventure is the rappel descent of the "Petit Niagara" waterfall, where water cascades down the rocks all around you, providing a fully immersive experience in a breathtaking natural setting.

 

What makes Val Grande even more fascinating are its unique rock formations with black and white stripes, which reveal themselves throughout the descent, adding a striking natural beauty and offering an unforgettable experience in a privileged environment.

 

This route pairs perfectly with another canyon in the region, such as Val di Gei or Giumaglio, for a full-day adventure. Get a 10% discount when booking two canyons.

We’ll start with a pleasant 20-minute walk along a trail that will lead us to the top of the canyon. Once there, your guide will take the time to explain the safety instructions and demonstrate the various techniques for progression. Then, it's time for 2.5 hours of adventure: natural slides, optional jumps, and rappels, all set in a sunny and breathtaking environment.
