Speleo-Canyon & Caving

WHAT IS IT?

These are underground routes, with or without water, requiring specific technical equipment such as a wetsuit (if necessary), helmet, harness, and headlamp.

WHERE IS IT DONE?

In Italy, there are many possibilities, from Tuscany to Sardinia, from Friuli to Lombardy, etc. Breathtaking environments, of extraordinary beauty.

HOW IS IT DONE?

The descent makes use of techniques borrowed from both canyoning and caving. We navigate through rocks and water, climbing, descending on ropes, sometimes swimming. It is an amazing activity. But do not improvise; hire a professional guide!

THE PLEASURE OF DISCOVERY

We are ready to take you inside Mother Earth, going where only a fortunate few can go

Fantastic caves and narrow recesses have been waiting for your arrival for millions of years.

Fantastic adventures and incredible places just a few kilometers outside the city.

Speleology

Caving, or spelunking (speleology, from the Greek spèlaion=cavern and logos=discourse) is the science that explores karst phenomena, that is, caves and natural cavities, their genesis and their nature.

Aside from its purely scientific aspect, spelunking attracts a considerable amount of people, who practice it as a sport, as a life philosophy, or even simply out of curiosity and for fun! Exploring the underground is certainly one of the oldest of human activities. Indeed, caves were used by prehistoric man for protection against any danger. We are looking forward to taking you to try out and live this adventure together!

IN TUSCANY

Monte Corchia, Alpi Apuane: Buca d’Eolo – Serpente traverse, 14 pits, the deepest is 50 m, for participants who already have some experience with abseiling and are physically fit, minimum 6 hours. A fantastic environment!!!

Fornovolasco, Alpi Apuane: The “tana che urla” (literally “the wailing lair”), the first cave in all of Europe to have been mapped, a gem carved by the water the flows through it all year round. 400 m long, 2 small and short climbing sections. The cave ends in a flooded cavern, the temperature inside varies between 10 and 12 °C. Retracing our steps out, for those who wish, it is possible to visit the “ramo del silenzio” (the “silent branch”, a section where water no longer flows, but that is very beautiful). From age 8 and older.

Calvana, Prato: Fonte Buia, just outside Firenze.

SPELEO CANYON

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN UNDERGROUND STREAM?

Speleo-canyoning is an exhilarating activity that combines elements of speleology and canyoning, allowing you to explore underground watercourses within spectacular caves.

This one-of-a-kind experience takes you into a fascinating world where you can witness the raw power of water and the extraordinary wonders it has carved over millennia.

To participate in speleo-canyoning, a 5 mm wetsuit is used—just like in traditional canyoning—ensuring protection and comfort in this remarkable environment.

The speleo-canyoning experience is not recommended during months when temperatures drop below eight degrees Celsius.
