Canyoning in Val Maor, Triassic Gorge with Slides, Dolomites

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Belluno Dolomites with an exhilarating canyoning excursion in Val Maor, located in Borgo Valbelluna. Carved over millennia into Triassic limestone, the Val Maor gorge is renowned as one of the most complete natural geological museums in northern Italy. Over the course of a 3.5-hour experience, you will navigate a dramatic, narrow canyon where ancient rock formations frame pristine, emerald water. Whether you are seeking your first canyoning adventure or an exciting family outing, this hidden alpine gem offers a breathtaking journey through towering canyon walls, thrilling natural slides, and secluded river pools.

Your adventure begins as you gear up with premium technical equipment, including Mares wetsuits, Sealand neoprene socks, and Petzl helmets and harnesses. Following a thorough safety briefing from your certified canyoning guide, a short 5-minute approach walk leads directly to the entrance of the gorge. Once inside, you will progress through a dynamic aquatic labyrinth, swimming through narrow rock canals, navigating river stretches, and sliding down fast, polished rock toboggans. For adrenaline seekers, several cliff jumps are scattered throughout the route, though every jump remains completely optional. Throughout the descent, your guide captures high-definition GoPro photos and video footage, allowing you to focus entirely on the thrilling course.

Designed to be accessible to anyone with occasional physical fitness, this canyoning tour in Val Maor welcomes participants from 6 to 60 years old. Small group sizes, limited to 10 participants per guide, guarantee personalized attention, smooth progression, and optimal safety at every step.
