The waters of Lake Garda aren’t the only aquatic treasure in the area. The flowing waters and wild gorges of the nearby Ledro Valley are ideal spots for endless canyoning adventures. The canyoning through Rio Nero serves as the perfect natural playground for the entire family.
At our meeting point, your professional guide provides you with all the gear you need. After assembling ourselves into our gear, including wetsuits, helmets, and neoprene socks, we set off for our adventure. A short walk through untouched nature leads us to our rocky paradise full of waterfalls.
Kicking off the journey, splash into the river and slides down perfectly U-shaped carvings in the rock. Slippery slides lead you to natural pools covered by tall trees. Continue on by swimming through narrow passages. As we make our way through the gorge, we encounter some rock walls as high as 15 m (50 ft). Abseil down these jagged rock faces with some instruction from the guide.
This route is suitable for many ages and fitness levels. Just let your guide know if you’d like to take a less physically demanding, but equally fun path. There’s plenty of ways to discover the tall passages and flowing waters.
After 2 hours of splashing into clear pools and exploring Rio Nero's wild nature, we make our way back to our meeting point. The adrenaline rush of canyoning may calm down after a day, but the experience will stay with you forever.

Fantastic day out. The guys were great, made it a laugh and I 100% recommend. I’m afraid of heights and water and managed to do it, my adrenaline was pumping. Lots of jumps and abseils. It is a little scary but you feel great and really feel you achieved something afterwards. I think the reps were called David and Andreo they were great!
