Do you want to take on a new challenge?
The Heli-Canyoning of Boggera in Ticino is one of the best canyoning tours available. It is a longer version of the beginner tour with numerous jumps, slides, and abseils.
The Heli-Canyoning adventure is most likely the best canyoning tour in the world. We begin with a short but spectacular helicopter flight from the Lodrino airbase to our landing zone, which is near 1100 meters in elevation. We actually fly below the level of the canyon walls, giving you a taste of what's to come.
We quickly arrive at our starting point, and then it's a long and continuous adrenaline rush. As we descend, there will be a wide range of abseils, slides through natural chutes, and jumps up to 20m which are almost vertical into narrow fissures with crystal clear pools. This is a long and varied canyon, one of the best in a world-renowned canyoning region. In-canyon time is approximately 6-7 hours.
