Canyon in Val di Non: the most beautiful ones to discover

The Val di Non is the valley of canyons, even though you wouldn't think so at first glance.

Among apple orchards, small villages and mountains hide deep gorges, rock walls, streams and spectacular passages that tell a wilder and more surprising part of the territory.

The canyons of Val di Non are all different: some are explored by walking on suspended walkways, others by following paths in the rock, still others directly from the water.

They are the perfect destination for those looking for things to see in Val di Non and want to experience nature in an unusual way.

Novella Canyon: between rock and water

The Novella Canyon is one of the most spectacular places in the valley.

You can explore it by walking on the walkways of the Novella River Park, gradually entering the deep gorge carved by the stream.

Outside the landscape is bright and open, but as soon as you enter the canyon everything changes: the walls narrow, the light decreases and the sound of water becomes the protagonist.

The Novella Canyon can also be discovered from Lake Santa Giustina by kayak, reaching the gorges of the stream from the water. Two different experiences to live the same environment from completely new perspectives.

Rio Sass Canyon: a hidden world beneath Fondo

In the heart of Fondo, right under the town, opens the Rio Sass Canyon.

A deep gorge carved by water in the rock, where walkways and staircases allow you to enter a surprising environment made of vertical walls, water and vegetation.

The light filtering from above continuously changes the appearance of the canyon, creating suggestive and almost surreal glimpses.

The visit takes place along an equipped path accompanied by guides, in a real journey inside the rock.

San Romedio Canyon: the canyon and the sanctuary

The San Romedio Canyon is one of the most special places in Val di Non.

Here nature and history meet: the gorge carved by the San Romedio stream leads to the famous San Romedio Sanctuary, built on a rocky spur.

From Sanzeno you can follow the suggestive Path in the rock, a route carved into the wall that allows you to walk literally inside the canyon.

At every step the perspectives on the rock, the forest and the sanctuary change, until you reach the hermitage.

Santa Giustina Canyon: inside the gorge

In the center of Val di Non, the Santa Giustina Canyon is a deep split in the rock that can be observed from above and, for those who love walking, also explored from below.

A path descends into the gorge to the ancient Santa Giustina Hermitage and reaches the Noce stream.

One of the most suggestive points of the route is a particular opening in the rock that resembles an eye: a natural window through which to observe the landscape of the valley and the mountains.

Mondino Canyon: the wildest adventure

Between Fondo and Castelfondo is the Mondino Canyon, characterized by large rock walls and a wilder environment.

The route allows you to descend into the gorge and then climb back up along the wall through an equipped path, with some exposed sections and passages that provide strong emotions.

It is an excursion suitable especially for those used to mountain paths and seeking a more adventurous experience.
