Description
Trail access point coordinates:46.3856, 13.1209
CAI 415 trail access point coordinates: 46.3856, 13.1176
Bed access point coordinates:46.3872, 13.1126
Downstream access
Leaving the highway at the ‘Carnia Tolmezzo’ exit, follow the indications to Tarvisio. Drive about 4Km, and right before passing under the motorway viaduct, take a narrow road to the left, and shortly later you’ll arrive to the bridge over the Favarinis. You can park nearby.
Upstream access
Take CAI 415 trail and follow it to the ruins of a stable to the left (about 30 minutes). Proceed for a dozen minutes yet, until a track branches off to the left from the main trail (white roadmarks and visible red paint on the trees). Follow it on a slight slope until you arrive nearby the creek. Proceed along its final part on steep descent into the wood until the bed.

01b - C 10 Sx
02 - TB 2 o TF 4 (avoidable to the Dx)
03a - C 26 Dx
03b - C 26 Sx
Progression about 150mt with small jumps you can climb down
04 - C 8 Sx (avoidable to the Sx)
Progression about 150mt with small jumps you can climb down
05a - C 12 Dx + DEV Dx
05b - C 12 Sx
06 - C 3 Sx
07a - MC + C 20 Dx
07b - C 5 Dx + C 15 Sx + DEV Sx
08 - TF 2 (avoidable to the Dx)
09 - MC + C 50 Dx
At the base of the last waterfall, you can find 2 anchorings for a possible zip-line (in this case, necessary 2 60mt ropes).
Exit
From the gorge’s exit, progression for some minutes in a now wide environment to reach a trail to the left and then the parking lot
How to read the data sheet
C = slope equipped point
AN = natural ancorage
MC = handrail
PI = halfway point
DEV = Deviation
DIS = downclimb
TB = toboga
TF = leap
The notation Dx (right) and Sx (left), relative to the slope points, the handrail, deviations, etc., always indicate the creek orographic bank, where they are positioned. For instance, DEV Sx indicates that the deviation lays on the left bank, and not to the left of the canyoner that will face the deviation.
