Unknown flood risk
Saas-Almagell, VS
A bouldery gneiss canyon with pools you can jump into, best run in autumn: 15 to 20 rappels, none longer than 30 feet.
Anchors are hard to find here, often perched on top of boulders or improvised from natural features, so bring a drill and bolts if you can. A water intake above the canyon can cut the flow on hot days.
