At the 15.06.2012 we (Fred, Manu, Timo, Holzi) opened the "Ri del Boschetto".
This Canyon is next to Soladino.
It offers at the beginning some nice and long slides and also some good jumps.
At the end there are several high and nice waterfalls to manage.
In total a really good canyon. 3.2/4

Jep you are soooo right

definitely a nice descent!
A kind of canyon seems to exist in front of this one, it is visible in your 4th picture. Do you know which on it is? Don't tell me Timo hasn't seen it: he sees everything!!!!!

Too bad I wasn't with you on friday, and too bad you weren't with us on saturday (but you opened the nicest one) !!!

Yes this "canyon" is very well visible from the valley. But in my opinion it is just a really big crag without any canyoning interest.
If you are interested to do it, then go for it
Yes Timo sees a lot, but he missed somehow Sefibach

Yes I was lucky that the others could make free on Friday so we could do the Sefibach canyon.
There are still lots of canyons to explore, so the chance is high that we will do one together

@ Tom & Manu & Laurinette
Are you now Swiss fans
Nice icons by the way

OK so it is just something which might be interesting in 10 years when all the nice canyons of switzerland will be opened and we absolutely want to go on drilling holes!!!

thanks for the icons ... I made them yesterday, if you want one just ask!

But yes we ARE swiss fans! Where else can you find so much new canyons to discover, and so much nice ones to do?
Or maybe we are just Heidi fans but don't really dare saying so... who knows?

If you have a good one for me then I will take one.
I have to replace my old icon which I have since the beginning

just tell me what would symbolize you best? a mammut?

Salut,
Canyon parcouru le we dernier, les joies de l ouverture vous ont peut être fait élever la note. Pour moi cela reste un torrent de montagne au TESSIN,, donc forcément, un peu mieux qu ailleurs. Pour moi ça sera 2,5 . Il y a beaucoup mieux à faire dans cette belle région avant de s attaquer à cela.
Pour info: lors de la descente nous avons rajouté 11 points. Et si certains veulent s y tenter, je vous conseille de prendre des cordes de 90 au moins.
À plus, et merci quand même de partager les infos.

Descendu avec une très belle et nombreuse équipe internationale, bien motivée au début mais de plus en plus déçue du canyon à four à mesure qu'on descendait.
On s'attendait probablement trop après avoir admiré les photos des plus beaux passages et on s'est fait peut être piéger par le titre du forum "A new classic in the Ticino".

Absolument pas à la hauteur des vrais classiques du Ticino comme Lodrino, Pontirone, Sponde, Iragna, etc. mais toujours un canyon de plus pour les collectionneurs.
D'accord avec les motivations de Bubu je met aussi la note 2.5.

En tout cas merci à l'équipe d'ouverture pour le grand investissement en amarrages (sponsored by Holzi?).

"A new classic in the Ticino" does not mean, that I compare this canyon with the really good ones like Lodrino, Iragna, Pontirone, Cresciano etc.... they are for me all far above 3.2/4.
A rating of a canyon is up to everyone and I don't wana blame you to give "just" 2.5/4.
I just would like to point out, that we had nearly the perfect conditions on our descent (a lot of water and not slippery) which makes for me aready a big difference.
Bignasco or Sponde with just a "petite fillet d'eau" and slippery is for me personally also not so interesting and causes a downgrade of at least 0.5/4.

Let's see what the time and other descents brings
