Itinerary description
ACCESOS: Podemos optar por pillar un helicóptero para hacer el integral (lo recomiendo); o recurrir a la combinación de vehículos. Son 10.6 kilómetros.
APROXIMACIÓN: Si optamos por subir en helicóptero, tardaremos un cuarto de hora en recorrer el kilómetro que nos separa del inicio clásico.
PROGRESIÓN: Unas 7 horas de diversión genuina en este barranco relativamente largo, una ruta variada que también es cerrada con partes abiertas dentro de paredes espectaculares que han sido labradas por el agua.
RETORNO: Una media hora y 1,5 kilómetros hasta el parking.
ALTURA DEL RÁPEL MÁS ALTO: R21 de 30 metros.

INFORMACIÓN DEL CAUDAL: Agua limpia y cristalina con flujos bajos de agua desde el inicio de la estación. Conforme nos adentramos en el estiaje, sube la temperatura del agua y se torna menos transparente.
Peligros
Llamar a la estación hidroeléctrica antes de entrar
+ 41 91756 6615
Evitar tormentas y mucha atención durante los deshielos.
VESTIMENTA: Neopreno completo según fechas.
LO MEJOR: Conocido por muchos como el barranco de "nunca acabar", este barranco es una serie interminable de saltos medios y bajos, espectaculares toboganes, cascadas que hacen al Cresciano superior un lugar popular para muchas empresas privadas y comerciales.
LO PEOR: Debido al poco flujo de agua y a las temperaturas altas durante el verano el cañón se vuelve muy resbaloso. Cómo es una ruta muy larga el descenso se recomienda solo para barranquistas con buena condición física.
ACOTACIÓN: v4a4IV
ACCESS: We have the option to take a helicopter to do the full canyon (which I recommend) or use vehicle combination. It's a 10.6-kilometer journey.
APPROACH: If we choose the helicopter, it will take about 15 minutes to cover the kilometer that separates us from the classic starting point.
PROGRESSION: Approximately 7 hours of genuine fun in this relatively long canyon, a varied route that alternates between narrow sections within spectacular walls carved by water.
RETURN: About half an hour and 1.5 kilometers to the parking area.
HEIGHT OF THE HIGHEST RAPPEL: R21 is 30 meters.

WATER FLOW INFORMATION: Clear and crystalline water with low flow from the beginning of the season. As we progress through summer, the water temperature rises and becomes less transparent.
DANGERS:
Contact the hydroelectric station before entering: +41 91756 6615.
Avoid storms and be very careful during thaw periods.
ATTIRE: Full wetsuit according to the season.
BEST FEATURES: Known by many as the "never-ending" canyon, this route is an endless series of medium and low jumps, spectacular slides, and waterfalls, making it a popular destination for many private and commercial companies, superior to Cresciano.
CONS: Due to the low water flow and high temperatures during summer, the canyon becomes very slippery. Since it's a very long route, the descent is recommended only for canyoneers in good physical condition.
