About the Pontelletto canyon
The Pontelletto canyon lies in Campo di Trens (Freienfeld), just north of Fortezza. It's a technical, formative canyoning tour, loved by those who really want to learn the discipline: cool water, solid rock, lots of rope abseils and alpine scenery.
The tour is modular — Short, Medium, Fullday — so you can choose the level of commitment. The Fullday tackles the whole canyon with more than 15 abseils (the longest around 30 metres) and several optional jumps. Ideal if you've done canyoning at least once before.
Compared to Lappago, here the focus is on rope work more than on jumping. It's the right place if you want to learn the moves, safety and basic knots to keep going in the canyoning world.
