Canyoning trip Chiavenna

 
 
 
 

Your weekend getaway!
Canyoning in Italy’s “Imposing Chiavenna”!

Breathtaking, beautiful, definitely eventful – Chiavenna in Lombardy, located between the two spectacular alpine passes Maloja and Splügen to Switzerland, the small community is nestled between high mountains in the valley floor. Chiavenna is famous for its historic town center, its restaurants and wonderful views of the famous Bergell mountains with the Piz Cengalo and Piz Badile and the Acquafraggia waterfall, at the foot of which we will also spend the night.

Between Chiavenna and Lake Como we find the Val Bodengo – a dream valley for canyonists. Long, deep and clear water – perfect for impressive canyoning tours in Italy. Join us for a weekend in the imposing Chiavenna.

procedure

Arrival is on Friday evening until 8 p.m. at the Acquafraggia campsite near Chiavenna. The next 2 nights we stay in our own tent at the foot of the famous waterfall.

From here we will start our canyoning tours for the next 2 days. You do not need any special prior knowledge for this canyoning trip.

The “Bodengo” gorge of the “Boggia” river is a real classic, offers everything a canyoning heart desires and is on every canyonist’s to-do list. So it is also at the top of our list and is firmly planned. The Bodengo Gorge is divided into 3 parts. On the first day we take on the upper two parts of the great canyoning gorge and enjoy the great jumps and slides of Bodengo1 & 2.

In addition to the Torrente Boggia, there are other great gorges that will amaze you. We will decide together on site whether we will tackle the third part of Val Bodeno on the second day of canyoning or climb into the gorge of the Val Pilotera side valley.

At the end of an action-packed day of canyoning, we can organize a delicious meal for the group with regional delicacies in the bar Dunadiv – the hot spot for canyoning enthusiasts above Chiavenna.

As with all of our camps, we choose the gorges together with you the evening before. The canyoning tour in Val Pilotera, a side valley of the Bodengo valley, is planned for this day. Yesterday, at the end of the Bodengo 2 canyoning, we caught our first glimpses of the Val Pilotera, which the two rivers meet there.

Even when canyoning in Italy, jumping and sliding are only options and not a must. You can also abseil down these places at any time.

The end of the program is around 4 p.m. after the canyoning tour.

Canyoning Kobelache with Andy and Sanders – another great experience! It was already our second tour with Andy, this time there were three of us in the Kobelache. The gorge is truly beautiful and absolutely convinced us. From the beginning, the tour was top-organized, the procedures were very routine, and one felt in good hands at all times. Big praise to Andy and Sanders for their professionalism! Unfortunately, I had to cut the tour short due to an injury – but the guides had the situation under control at all times and reacted confidently. The rest of the group still had a lot of fun and was able to continue experiencing great moments in the gorge. Clear recommendation – we would love to come back!

This will definitely be repeated! It was simply great! I have a fear of heights, but the team accompanied me incredibly well during the entire event and supported me at every moment. Because of that, I felt completely safe and had huge fun in the end! It was really a fantastic experience. A very special thank you goes once again to Andreas and Noã!

Adrenaline rush while canyoning in the Starzlachklamm with purelements The canyoning with purelements was an exciting experience and activity. It was super organized from start to finish and the guides know exactly what they are doing. Not only were our guides Andreas and Noel super, but the staff and the boss in the background were also super helpful with questions beforehand. Anyone looking for an adrenaline rush and an exciting experience has come to the right place. Recommendation: We had the 9:00 AM tour with a meeting time of 8:00 AM and were the first group (13 people) in the gorge. During our tour, we were able to see several other, sometimes larger groups walking toward the entrance. The gorge may therefore be overcrowded at a later time, and waiting times at certain spots with other groups cannot be ruled out.
