From the village follow the indications for the Mis lake, run along the lake until the affluent and cross the river; just after the bridge turn heading for the Cascate della Soffia (Soffia falls). Park at the end of the road, near a refreshment-area. |
| Approach: leaving the parking, take the steep asphalted road (only for residents cars) which leads to Gena Alta, a little hamlet with a few restored huts. Once at the village, near a fountain with wash-tub, take a flat grassy road on the right which in 15 minutes takes near to the gorge, where a little path on the right runs down to the river bed; the beginning of the canyoning descent is a beautiful 5 metres high toboggan. |
