What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great swimming experience. A bit on the cold side, 18 degrees celsius in early july.”
“Molto carino e si puo scendere nel fiume facilmente”
“Esperienza fantastica, Claudia è davvero una grande. Altamente raccomandato”
“Un panorama suggestivo ed unico, da poter visitare soltanto grazie ad una escursione organizzata con Gida Canyoning Certificata. PANTA REI CANYONING offre questo servizio. Vi divertirete tantissimo, tra rocce, arrampicate, scivoli d'acqua, tuffi e discese su corda. Adatto ai giovani, agli adulti e ai bambini. Consigliatissimo!”
“Luogo suggestivo e punto di partenza per escursioni di torrentismo, ma non è un hotel, come invece suggerito da Maps: forse funziona da ostello in estate ma non ci sono indicazioni in merito all'esterno della struttura.”
“Località molto bella e suggestiva. Top anche per gli appassionati di trekking.”
“Amazing time Canyoning with Panta Rei Canyoning. Super professional & safe. Highly recommend. The canyon is fun and very approachable”
