LOOGISTIC

From the meeting point, by car, we arrive at the lower parking in 10 minutes. Here we prepare the equipment and leave one or more cars with towels and dry clothes. With another car or on foot, we move further upstream to the high parking lot. From here, along the path, we reach the stream in 45 minutes, the climb is along a quarry road, and the panorama is very beautiful. The route winds between rappels (10, the highest 15 m), disclimbing, a magnificent slide, plus a few dives (up to 7 m, never mandatory). There are nine rope abseils. The environment is wild, the crystal clear water and the white marble stones create incredible colours.

Knowledge of rope descent techniques is not required.
