One of the most evocative places in the region, it offers visitors vertical walls, waterfalls and cliffs. Discover it on a fully-equipped trail.
It is not often that you wander into a wild place, made up of rock walls and waterfalls, moving along a safe and easy path. To try this unusual and fun experience, just let yourself be guided on a visit to the Rio Sass Canyon, an authentic rock labyrinth that develops on walkways suspended in the void, between stalactites, mosses, ferns and algae. From March to November, the Cooperativa Smeraldo (in Fondo in Val di Non) organises guided tours of about two hours, with reservations required. Suitably equipped with a waterproof cape and protective helmet provided by the organizers, follow the route that will lead you to the Bagni di Fondo resort, where a small spa was once active.
