Canyoning in Switzerland - Val Combra, Malvaglia, Ticino

Val Combra is a very fun canyon with a good amount of very cold water. Located just above the canyon of Orino (or Malvaglia, the canyons in Ticino are often named after the villages), Val Combra is a glacier-fed canyon, so be careful of higher temperatures and early-season visits. Many jumps and very cool slides in the beautiful metamorphic gneiss (Augengneis) of Tessin, with the option of doing a very big and quite scary slide of 15+ meters.
Parking: 46°25'27.5"N 9°01'06.6"E
Ascent: Cross the dam and go through the tunnel. After the tunnel, a path on the left leads up to the bridge which crosses the river. Enter here. (25 min)
Descent: Lots of jumps and slides in crystal clear but cold water. Max rappel 25 m. (2 - 3h)
The way back: After the canyon opens into the lake, keep left and find the path that leads you back to the tunnel. (10 min)
