Canyoning is a way of descending the mountain, therefore it is correct to say that it allows to deeply know the mountain itself.
From the high peaks of the Sibillini Mountains the water flows, flows down to Valnerina through sinuous and deep paths; in its thousand-year erosive action the water dug deeply inside the rock.
Gorges and canyons are the results
Accompanied by qualified personnel you enter the canyon with the ropes, slipping and diving into the pools.

We offer two different types of routes:

  1. BASE Canyoning -Torrentismo at  “La Mola Perduta “

  2. ADVANCED Canyoning – Torrentismo at the “Forra del Casco”

Hidden among the hills of the Salto Valley, the Mola perduta canyon has been equipped for a few years. An easy canyon suitable for beginners, minors and all those who want to approach this activity knowing the various characteristics without too much effort. In this short route you will encounter water slides, small dives and rope descents up to 20 meters high.
Among the characteristics of the canyon, the brevity of the approach on foot also stands out, less than 10 minutes of trekking, the possibility of being able to interrupt the descent at any time and the presence of water even in the height of summer.
The route can also be practiced by 11-year-olds, and is ideal for everyone, even beginners.
