Vajo dell'Orsa

A wonderful environment, the most beautiful narrow ever seen and a little bit of walk in the second part. Amusing descent, maybe just a bit too overestimated.

june to september

WARNING! Artificial dam over the canyon.

Access
lower: leave highway A22 at Affi and follow the indications for Brentino, a little village at the foot of the Monte Baldo. Cross all the village and just after the endless stair leading to the Sanctuary of Spiazzi turn left on an asphalt road. After about 200 meters, a non aphalted road on the left takes quickly to a an Enel power station (Electricity National Company).
upper: from Brentino come back towards Affi and turn right after about 7 km heading for Ferrara di Monte Baldo. Once at Freine di sotto, park the car.

Approach: take the steep path running towards the bottom of the gorge and after a few meters follow the indication sign "per la valle" (for the valley), proceeding on following the path walking under a majestic rock wall, then crossing a little Vajo affluent and finally running down towards the river bed. Go on the path for a few bents and pass over a fixed rope on the left, then follow the little affluent once more and reach the Vajo water.

Coming back: once at the artificial dyke take a path on the right leading, in a few minutes, to the car.
