A short yet very aesthetically pleasing route, thanks to the evocative landscape, Rio Val Bianca is one of the most visited canyons in Ossola Valley. With mid-level technical difficulty, the course is divided into two parts, which can be completed separately. The first more playful part is followed by the grand finale with a waterfall more than 90 metres tall separated by two infinity pools.
