WHAT WE OFFER

Canyoning or canyoneering is travelling in canyons with a variety of techniques such as walking climbing scrambling jumping, repelling and swimming. It’s frequently done in remote and rugged settings.

We run canyoning expeditions from April to October. These activities can be either found on our summer programme, or if you are a group of 5 or more we can arrange a private expedition.

WHERE CANYONING IS RUN & PRICES

Speleo Canyoning CORMOR (Valmalenco) - Lombardia

This trip offers a unique experience crossing canyoning and caving. The canyon you will visit has been eroded out of serpentinite rock which is similar to soap stone in appearance and shimmers green making these canyons very rare indeed. The river is now tamed by two dams, but there are still some challenging abseils and chest deep navigations to enjoy.

Our trips are divided in two parts similar in difficulty and duration but different technically.
Duration 4 hours for Part 1 and 2 with rapid falls of up to 25m. We will access the canyon at an altitude of 1800m, close to artificial lake of Campo Moro.

Prices for 2023:

Cormor 1 = 95€ taxes and rentals included
Cormor 2 = 95€ taxes and rentals included
Cormor 1+2 = 140€ taxes and rentals included

MASINO (Valmasino) - Lombaria

The canyon found here is easily accessible at just a few kilometres from Sondrio, lateral to the valley of Valtellina and parallel to the basin of the River Adda.
Technically, this trip is relatively easy and just a little bit longer than the Bodengo 1 trip, but has a few more exposed stretches with a maximum of 25m falls, and tackles some strong currents. This trip lasts for 3 hours.
