Service Description

Canyoning Rio Oro: The Shining Experience of Val Sesia! Let yourself be enchanted by the golden reflections of the granite and the purity of a unique mountain stream. Rio Oro is the perfect blend of alpine aesthetics and pure aquatic fun. Why is it called Rio Oro? Hidden among the woods overlooking the Piode area, the Rio Oro of Cangelli is a small natural masterpiece. Its name—Golden River—comes from the magical reflections created by the sunlight hitting the veins of the rock and the crystal-clear water flowing through the gorges. It is a route that offers a constant sense of wonder: it is not just a sporting challenge, but a true aesthetic exploration. Here, the Val Sesia granite shows its most brilliant side, polished into smooth shapes that seem tailor-made for your jumps and abseils. What you will experience in Rio Oro?
