Stretti di Giaredo

Why go

Stretti di Giaredo changes the scale completely: here the river cuts between rock walls and creates a spectacular, almost mineral landscape. Water, shadows and the shapes of the gorge make this much more than a simple walk beside a stream.

What kind of outing is it?

Plan the route as a sporty outing, not an improvised stroll. Depending on water levels, you may need to walk in the river, cross slippery sections or turn back. The reward is a raw landscape and a genuine sense of adventure, but it depends directly on the conditions that day.

The absolute rule

Check access, weather, water levels and equipment with a competent local operator. Never enter the gorge after heavy rain or with a group that is not properly prepared.
