It sometimes happens that over the centuries, the streams that have carved deep canyons dry up. These dry gorges, also called fossils, offer a unique terrain for exploration and fun, where you can practice Dry Canyoning. The absence of water allows the true beauty of the rock formations to be brought out, but also the vegetation to grow luxuriantly, enveloping us in a unique and wild landscape. Verticality is the master of these itineraries and we will focus more on trekking and rope descents. Another advantage of Dry Canyoning is that you can practice it practically all year round, without having to worry too much about temperatures or too much or too little water in the streams. So whether it's the secret charm of fossil canyons or the refreshing spray of wet canyons, both offer their own unique experiences, are you ready to choose your own adventure? |

Dry Canyoning is challenging, both for the heights to be tackled and for the length of the route, but fun is guaranteed!
LEARN MOREOver the years we have tested and selected specific manufacturers and materials to always offer the best!
We pay great attention to the equipment both for the high safety guarantees and to ensure maximum comfort for participants.
During all our dry canyoning tours you will be provided with all the equipment you will need for the experience.
They are composed of a rigid shell that protects the head from any bumps and stones that can fall from above. They are adjustable for all heads, through a simple and quick sliding adjustment system. Many of our helmets are already equipped with action camera mounts!
We use harnesses specially created for canyoning, simple and intuitive to wear. They are all equipped with a special rear wear protection that effectively protects both the wetsuit and the harness webbing from abrasion.
Connected through a carabiner to our harness, the figure-of-eight descender allows us to descend with the rope in a simple and effective way.
We use 10 mm semi-static ropes. After testing many of them, we found a type of rope that guarantees a remarkable grip and an extreme hold of flexibility, which allows excellent control of the descent and is therefore suitable for practitioners of all levels.
Here are the few simple things to bring when you come dry canyoning with us!
The clothing is not much different from the one used for trekking, comfortable and warm depending on the seasonal temperatures.
Wearing shoes are important to face the day of dry canyoning with peace of mind.
If you have any doubts or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Comfortable and warm clothing, remember that generally in the gorges there is little sun and therefore temperatures tend to be lower.
Shoes are important, to ensure a good grip during the activity. High hiking boots that also protect the ankle are excellent, sneakers with a good sculpted sole are also fine. Absolutely to be avoided by diving shoes!
They are used to protect your hands from the rope rubbing on your hands, they are not essential but we recommend them.
Better if it is small and compact, so that it does not get in our way on the descents. It will have to contain water, something to eat and any clothing that we do not use.
A one-liter flask/bottle per person is typically sufficient. We recommend disposable plastic ones to prevent thermos or other rigid material from breaking. Good hydration is essential when exercising, especially in hot periods when temperatures are high.
It might be a good idea to bring one or more energy bars to refresh yourself during the activity. Keep in mind that everything you bring into the gorge gets wet, so the bars must also be sealed.
It's a good idea to bring a change of shoes, pants and socks. Although there is no water in the gorge, it is sometimes easy to find mud.
A sandwich with something hearty and not too heavy to digest to have a bit of a boost along the way
