You start with a simple, more accessible route, located at the start of the valley, where natural slides, small jumps and short rappels await you. Suitable for beginners who are approaching this experience for the first time. The next levels take place in higher areas of the valley and require more experience, up to the more expert route, which lasts a whole day and includes an hour’s hike along the path that flanks the stream.
