Further information
This is a characteristic gorge that at times looks more like a Latin American jungle than a Dolomite landscape, immersed in a wild environment to be explored. The main attractions are lot of water in all seasons and several jumps to dive into deep circular pools as well as long rock corridors smoothed by the water without escape routes. The main part of the gorge is more or less horizontal but in the final part of the route the continuity is interrupted by a 70 meter high vertical waterfall, the famous Salton Waterfall. This waterfall has been recently equipped with a Tyrollienne aerial which allows you to descend out of the force of the water. Alternatively you can tackle a series of 3 abseils on the hydrographic right, also reequipped. This option requires experience to pass the deviators that allow you to reach a ledge and not end up in the dangerous rotating puddle below. Both solutions can be bypassed with an easy path that allows you to walk downstream of the waterfall. From here you will find some more toboggans and jumps for then in 25 minutes getting to the houses of the Molin de Sot.
Canyoning is an adventure and exploration sport in which the participants wear wetsuit, helmet and harness and go down a river, a gorge or, you guessed it, a canyon!
You will experience many techniques like walking, jumping and rappelling or simple rock climbing. Canyoning in this sense can be seen as a multi-sport activity. If you've never done it before, the first trial can be a little daunting, but no fear! canyoning allows you to decide whether you want to do something more relaxing enjoying the ambient or trying a more intense and adrenaline experience. We will decide the wright type of route together. There are different paths depending on the skills and courage of each one. Even within the same canyon there are often several options and various ways out. At its best, canyoning is not just an adrenaline rush; it is an inimitable and intimate trip to explore and enjoy beautiful natural spaces in a way that wouldn’t be reachable otherwise.
Here are some things you will learn on your first canyoning trip:
- Learn to wear the equipment. One of the first things that will try in your Guided Tour will be learning to wear correctly your personal equipment consisting of:
- Special wetsuit in 5/6 mm Neoprene,
- Neoprene booties to put on instead of socks (do not replace shoes),
- Special and certified harness equipped with carabiners and longes,
- Certified helmet
- Buoyancy Vest if you can't swim and are afraid of water (however, the neoprene suit already provides sufficient buoyancy on its own).
- Special Canyoning Shoes (can be rented extra if requested in advance). If you don't rent shoes from us you can use your own, light trekking shoes or sneakers with a non-smooth sole are fine, however it is better if you wear used shoes that are not too tight. Avoid the ones you bought yesterday that maybe crawl on the stones!
- Safety information. Subsequently, the Guide will provide you with some information on safety, the use of carabiners, the various techniques of progression inside the Canyon, how to tackle the dives (never mandatory), the slides, abseiling and how to walk on wet floor.
- The approach walk. The approach walk to the head of a canyon can take anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes (maybe even more, depending on how accessible the entrance is or where you're starting from). If the day is hot you'll hate your wetsuit...but no matter, once you enter the canyon and into the cold water your wetsuit will become your new best friend. You may be a little hot on the way up, but it's worth it. Do not be afraid… you'll feel the perfect temperature for the rest of your trip up the canyon.
- What if you're afraid of heights...If you're afraid of heights or if you’ve never been in a canyon before maybe you feel a little bit in trouble, especially at the top of the first big jumps…Well, there's a good chance that by the end of the day you will be jumping several meters into deep pools of water with a huge smile on your face. Our canyoning guides are not only specialized in their practice, they are also very reassuring. They will help you find your comfort level, help you through the entire experience and guide you step-by-step through all the essential knowledge. Not only will they tell you where to jump or when to rappel, but they will show you how and explain the because one must adopt these strategies in an acceptably safe manner.
- The exit walk. The exit walk to reach the closest parking is mandatory in some Canyons where there is no road that allows you to approach the crest of the river.
