Morghe

verified Ungraded Unknown flood risk Breil-sur-Roya, Alpes-Maritimes

A short May to July window and a wide swing in run times, 2 to 5 hours, mark this Roya valley limestone clue: ten rappels, longest 30m, 210 meters of descent over 740 meters.

The optional 4.2 km shuttle is short enough to walk if you would rather not run two cars. The gap between the fast and slow times is unusually wide for a canyon this size, worth planning for the slower end with a less experienced group.
