Canyon in Val di Non
Through Deep Gorges and Rushing Water: Exploring the Canyons of the Non Valley
A natural adventure through rock, water and hidden landscapes
The Non Valley is not only known for its apple orchards and sunny plateaus – it also hides a network of spectacular canyons and gorges carved into the rock over thousands of years. Exploring them means entering a world of narrow passageways, cascading streams and dramatic stone walls.
One of the most striking is the Rio Sass Canyon in Fondo, accessible from the shimmering Lago Smeraldo. Elevated walkways take visitors deep into a breathtaking gorge. To enrich the visit, the nearby Museo dell’Acqua offers insight into the cultural and natural history of water in the region.
Also not to be missed is the Parco Fluviale Novella near Romallo, where guided tours lead through tunnels, ancient mills and untamed river landscapes – an exciting journey for all ages. Other canyon hikes such as the Mondino Gorge or the St. Felix waterfall can be explored on foot, offering a more intimate connection to the wild nature of the region.
A canyon adventure in the Non Valley is a journey into the raw, hidden soul of the landscape – powerful, peaceful and full of wonder.
