Lodrino is widely considered one of the best canyoning trips in Ticino — and for good reason. It combines everything that makes canyoning here so special: striking granite formations, powerful water flow, and a sequence of features that keeps you fully engaged from start to finish.

This is not an entry-level canyon. Lodrino is made for confident, active participants who are comfortable in water and ready for a more technical and physical experience.

Expect a strong, continuous flow fed by a large drainage area, giving the canyon a dynamic and committing character. The route offers a perfect mix of jumps (up to 12 m), fast and fun natural slides, and several impressive abseils, including descents of up to 50 m.

The approach is short, but once inside the canyon, you’ll spend 2-3hours moving through a powerful and varied environment that demands focus and good body control.

Because of its water volume, Lodrino has a relatively short and condition-dependent season. When everything lines up, it delivers one of the most rewarding canyoning experiences in the region.

We run the lower section of the canyon on this trip. For those looking for an even bigger challenge, the full-day Lodrino Integrale takes things to the next level.

If you’re after a serious canyoning experience in Ticino — technical, aesthetic, and a bit wild — Lodrino delivers
