The Forra Val Brenta Canyon is one of the most distinctive canyoning routes in Trentino, immersed in the heart of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park, just a few kilometres from Madonna di Campiglio. Here, where water seems almost absent on the surface because of the dense network of sinkholes and karst cavities at altitude, it suddenly reappears, creating a fun and varied natural water playground.
Also known as Forra Val Brenta, this itinerary crosses a spectacular natural environment at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, where water, rock and alpine vegetation create a unique and unspoilt setting.
A dynamic and engaging canyon alternating jumps, natural slides and rope descents, in one of the most evocative outdoor areas in Trentino.
