The Palvico (it. Torrente Palvico) is an emissary of the lake Lago d'Ampola. Between Tiarno di Sopra and Storo the river flows inside a deep cut canyon through various basins with steps up to 20 m in between. The last bassin opens with a 50 m drop called Buco della Morte (en: Mouth of death) to the valley at Storo.

The Palvico canyon is located in Storo and is a great narrow gorge where a beautiful stream seems to be the only one which can go through it. However this place near Arco in the province of Tento, is the destination chosen by many canyoning lovers in Europe. A 50-meter abseil cliff will be part of the goals of the day.

The 4-hour tour is suitable for both beginners and experienced people. The only requirement is not to be afraid of water and have a weight of more than 40 kg.

You can hire this family-friendly excursion in the Palvico Canyon every Wednesday and Saturday at 2 PM during summertime.

Come and live a unique day outdoors in the company of your loved ones, in a safe environment. According to the "https://www.explore-share.com/"

This potential has been used since 1905 for hydroelectric plants.
