BIGNASCO CANYON. TICINO, SWITZERLAND
September 01, 2022
Bignasco canyon is yet another incredible canyon in the Ticino region.
This canyon drops steep in somewhat of a short distance, so you get some big raps in this canyon
We drove up to the top and made our way down in good time working through some minor challenges
We found this canyon to be pretty straightforward with some excellent raps
We were really impressed with the last sequence as that drops you 280 ft the pool at the bottom
There were a few jumps and boggans as we worked through to the last segment.
It was a beautiful rap into the water, and we made
it out in around 3 hours' time.
I recommend taking the road up and setting up a shuttle, but the roads diminish a bit
The anchors are all good as the time of this writing but ensure you inspect what you put your life on.
The last rap has a beautiful view of the valley
The other large rap is also a dramatic
feel, I wish I got more photos of the middle large rap.
Everything else is straightforward to work through.
Be careful of weather in this canyon as it can become deadly with the flow.
There is a decent drainage basin above so water can flash through here.
amazing canyon!
