Rio Margologio Trontano (Verbano-Cusio-Ossola)

Les ancrages sont très abîmés. Il est parfois risqué de les utiliser. Chemin d'accès et retour sans encombres.(Au besoin regarder swissmap pour prendre le bon chemin au début) 3h30 voiture à voiture à 2 personnes

Underrated and beautiful canyon. We had to put 2 new anchors, the rest of the French chains is still ok. 9 mm rope mandatory for pull-through. The canyon is not slippy, the water colour is very beautiful and there are many small drops. We had no problem to find the access path, but it is more or less overgrown. Take the description as on descente-canyon. The old path is very exposed. After passing the metal-bridge continue this path (it is marked on the Swiss maps) until you reach an evident path that climbs uphill to Alpe l'Erta (this path is not on the Swiss maps, but in Open Street Maps / Osmand). On top of the Alpe (hiking path signs) take the old path that goes horizontally into the valley and reaches the river. Exit after the water-capture to the right. (Approach: 1:30 h; Canyon 3 h; retour: 30 mins)

Duration times: approach 1.5 hours, the canyon itself 3 hours, way back to car 30 min

Essayé en 2019: le sentier qui part du parking ne mène nulle part... dommage!
