Where can I go canyoning In Umbria?

The best canyoning routes in Umbria are undoubtedly along the river Nera, which forms the famous Marmore waterfalls with its tributary, the river Velino. We've compiled a list of the top canyoning adventures in Umbria's two provinces, first Perugia and later Terni:

- Province of Perugia:
• Rio Negro (Scheggino): The gorges of Rocca Gelli, located in the heart of Valnerina, offer a unique spectacle: there are seven waterfalls, some of which are up to 16 meters high, alternating with lovely river basins. Piedipaterno is the starting point for the route. Basic canyoning activities are ideal in these places.

• River Nera (Ceselli): the canyoning route from Valterina to Ceselli will take you past stunning waterfalls made by the streams that go through the Forra del Casco. If you're near Spoleto, this is an excellent site for difficult canyoning, with a narrow and steep canyon and a 30-meter-high waterfall. Another spectacular canyon for your canyoning sport is the Pago Delle Fosse, also located near Ceselli, in the heart of the Valnerina. This area features massive limestone walls which are not easily accessible, full of leaps and multiple abseiling with ropes up to 35 meters high.

• River Corno (Serravalle di Norcia): This river offers a variety of long, short, and easy courses, as well as access to the spectacular Biselli Gorges. The crystal-clear rivers of these gorges, carved into the mountains of the Umbria-Marche Apennines, are ideal for swimming.

• Torrente Mentre (Foligno): The path starts in Foligno and concludes in Altolina with canyoning. In the middle of the spectacular Mentre Valley, the gorges that will alternate throughout the route feature a beautiful gorge such as the Forra di Pale, marvellous waterfalls, and magical pools of water. Because of the difficulty level of the route, these places are only active during the summer.

- If the province of Terni is more suitable for you:
• Fiume Nera (Prodo): The presence of narrow rocky gorges in the river in the village of Prodo, near Orvieto, allows for magnificent canyoning activities, albeit of a medium-high difficulty level. The activity will take place in the Tiber River Natural Park, a beautiful place to visit. The limestone gorges and the dense vegetation, rich in fauna and flora, will be the setting for your adrenaline experience in this area.

• Rio Negro (Fabro): The Tane del Diablo, a series of karst caverns etched into the river's sides, is located along this section of the river. Your canyoning excursion will take you near the spectacular Fosso del Bango canyon.

As you can see, there are plenty of canyoning opportunities in Umbria. We strongly advise you to find the determination and take on the challenge because this type of sports and adrenaline-filled activity in Umbria will leave an indelible impression on you.
