Canyon of Dolomites - Canyon Val Maggiore

Canyon Val Maggiore Adventure

CORNOLADE - PONTE NELLE ALPI (BL)

More info on the Val Maggiore Canyon

A fun route suitable for everyone, from the youngest to those who have already traveled through several canyons.

Val Maggiore is now a well-known and popular route! never too difficult and with practically non-existent approach and return on foot.

Hidden on the peaks east of Belluno north of Nevegal, immersed in the bucolic countryside, invisible except from the edge itself, this is the Val Maggiore.

It will be a continuous surprise to follow it in company following the continuous and very long series of pools many of which can be dived, with some very narrow short bottlenecks, small toboggans, continuous turns.
