There is an interesting nature combined with an interesting history. This is a nice canon. Sometimes you have to climb to its top, other times you have to descend to the river in order to continue fu… Full review by mafalloutm

Q:
Per the online maps I've found so far, there appears to be a road through the valley. It could also be a trail that connects to roads on either end. Does anyone know if you can drive through it (I have bad knees and a weak ankle - climbing and scrambling are pretty much out for me). If no road, is there any relatively level path in from the Ferla side (I've read it's the gentler entrance)?

Hi, The is no road running through and you must walk. Even the "easier" areas are uneven but there is no need for scrambling or climbing. I am 61 and have a form of rheumatoid arthritis …

Hi, The is no road running through and you must walk. Even the "easier" areas are uneven but there is no need for scrambling or climbing. I am 61 and have a form of rheumatoid arthritis which affects all of my joints and managed with little difficulty. If you are wearing supportive shoes/boots and take a stick you should be fine. The hardest "climbs" we encountered were the equivalent to a flight or two of steep stairs I would also strongly advise using a guide as you will get so much more out of the trip this way and they can advise further (we used a great guy called Paolo and you will find his deatils on my review of the site). I did not use a stick or staff but you may want to consider it
