canyon exploring with Michele Angileri

Fosso di Vallecchia (parte bassa)

Fosso di Vallecchia is a tight valley lying in a beautiful scenery of green woods and white rock walls, near Spoleto. It features a short canyon with a few cascades in a luxuriant environment.
A simple and relaxing canyoning trail.

I remember ...

In the nineties a few canyoning enthusiasts from Terni explored many valleys in the hills between Terni and Spoleto, searching for new canyoning trails. They explored Fosso di Vallecchia too, but only the upper part of the valley. They interrupted the exploration because the valley did not look interesting and it had a lot of spiny vegetation.
They didn't realize the interesting part (though not a great trail) was not far from there.

Photographs in this website show ultralight ropes (6 mm ropes made of high tenacity fibers). Read multimedia book Ultralight ropes canyoning technique to learn how to use them.
