Here, beautiful mountains and valleys are within easy reach from famous cities such as <strong>Turin <\/strong>and <strong>Cuneo<\/strong>. In winter, tourists flock to the slopes of the <strong>Vialattea <\/strong>or <strong>Bardonecchia<\/strong>. In summer, Valsesia offers everything that lovers of white water sports could wish for. Indeed, canyoning in the Sorba gorges, for instance, is very popular.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valsesia&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><b>Valsesia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the most common sporting activities are canyoning in the <\/span><b>Sorba <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gorges, canyoning in the <\/span><b>Sesia <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gorges and rafting on the Sesia river. The Sorba torrent has its source in the Colle del Loo. Along its course, before the village of Rassa, one can find a very unique natural canyon that is used for numerous different water sports. After the village, there is another very interesting stretch that is regularly used for canyoning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canyoning in the Sorba Gorges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Canyoning in the Sorba<\/strong> gorges can be <strong>easy <\/strong>or of <strong>medium <\/strong>difficulty. What fascinates the participants most is the final part of the route, where they can try a 35 m long zipline. The meeting points for this experience are normally in Vocca, Campertengo or Piode. If you want a bit more of an adventure, a good tip is to book the night canyoning tour which departs at 19:00 and which includes a barbecue once back at the operator&#8217;s base.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='checkyeti-cta-button-wrapper'>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkyeti.com\/en\/rafting-canyoning\/italy\/sorba\/rafting-canyoning-tours?productTypes=canyoning\" class='checkyeti-cta-button' target=\"_blank\" title=\"Canyoning in Piemont\">Book canyoning in Valsesia<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canyoning in the Rio Nero, Trentino Alto Adige<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"789\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-nel-Rio-Nero-Kopie-1024x789.jpg\" alt=\"An illustration explaining in detail what the canyoning route at Rio Nero looks like.\" class=\"wp-image-15890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-nel-Rio-Nero-Kopie-1024x789.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-nel-Rio-Nero-Kopie-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-nel-Rio-Nero-Kopie-768x592.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-nel-Rio-Nero-Kopie.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9Trentino Climb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trentino<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to spectacular ski resorts such as <strong>Monte Bondone<\/strong> or <strong>Madonna di Campiglio<\/strong>, Trentino also has a lot to offer in summer as well.

They can be easy, medium or difficult and depending on the route chosen, a minimum age of 6 to 16 years may be required. Highlights in this canyon are the up to 12-meter long water slides, which can be found in each of the tours. The meeting points for canyoning routes in the Chalamy are usually in Champdepraz or Verr\u00e8s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='checkyeti-cta-button-wrapper'>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkyeti.com\/en\/rafting-canyoning\/italy\/canyon-de-chalamy\/rafting-canyoning-tours?productTypes=canyoning\" class='checkyeti-cta-button' target=\"_blank\" title=\"Canyoning in Aosta Valley\">Book canyoning in Chalamy<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Canyoning in the Alcantara Gorge, Sicily<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-in-the-Alcantara-Gorge-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Participants in the canyoning tour in Sicily try out the zipline.\" class=\"wp-image-15898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-in-the-Alcantara-Gorge-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-in-the-Alcantara-Gorge-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-in-the-Alcantara-Gorge-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-in-the-Alcantara-Gorge-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-cdn.checkyeti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Canyoning-in-the-Alcantara-Gorge-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9Sicilia Adventure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sicily<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The island of Sicily is undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations in Italy for tourists during the summer. However, thanks to the volcano Etna on the region&#8217;s main island, Sicily is not only a summer destination. In fact, Mount <strong>Etna <\/strong>is usually <strong>snow-capped<\/strong> from October to May, thereby making it possible to go skiing. Nevertheless, when these <strong>snows melt<\/strong>, you can&nbsp; <strong>go canyoning<\/strong> in the Alcantara Gorge.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcantara Gorge<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Alcantara Gorges are a popular attraction amongst people travelling&nbsp; to Sicily. Just after the entrance to the Gorges, where the surroundings are still open and the ground is quite flat, there is a small beach that is very popular with visitors. Trying out canyoning at the Alcantara Gorge is probably the most original and unique way to appreciate these impressive walls. In small groups of 6 to 8 people, you will find yourself traversing along stretches untrodden by the masses, where the <\/span><b>walls <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are up to <\/span><b>25 m high<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>2 to 5 m wide<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canyoning in the Alcantara Gorge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Canyoning in Sicily is a unique experience because you will encounter a landscape like no other with <strong>gorges formed by lava<\/strong>. This canyoning tour is suitable for everyone from the age of 10 and is considered to be of medium difficulty. The meeting point is normally in Francavilla di Sicilia.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='checkyeti-cta-button-wrapper'>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkyeti.com\/en\/d\/2304\/18645\" class='checkyeti-cta-button' target=\"_blank\" title=\"Canyoning in Sicily\">Book canyoning in Sicily<\/a>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy has many great canyoning spots, which is why we have decided to list the 5 best canyoning tours in Italy.
