Canyoning, emotion in motion
Find out where to go canyoning in Trentino!
Your heart may skip a beat as you slide into your wetsuit. Pull on your life jacket, secure your harness, check your ropes and carabiners, fasten your helmet and off you go on a journey of discovery of the Trentino gorges. This is canyoning, a bold sport that will take you out of your comfort zone and face to face with nature and that combines mountaineering with water sports.
No raft or board between you and the riverbed, you have to depend on just your arms and legs to get you through the narrow torturous gorges of the Trentino torrents. Swim or let yourself be transported by the current, abseil, slide or jump down into natural pools of water.
It’s not an extreme sport, it’s practiced in groups and at various difficulty levels and some routes are even suitable for children, yet it’s an opportunity to enjoy a unique experience in an uncontaminated environment.

The Palvico and Rio Nero torrents are the protagonists when it comes to canyoning in this area. Both are located in the Val d’Ampola, not far from Lake Garda.
