Corsica
9 canyons.
-
n/aDardu
Dardu tumbles through granite above Piana and finishes right at the sea, its last two drops (31 and 16 meters) threading cave like passages before a swim, or a boat pickup, off the rocks.
Unknown flood -
n/aNura
Nura demands a four and a half hour approach above Solenzara before the ropework even starts, then six to ten hours of granite narrows built around a single 70 meter rappel.
Unknown flood -
n/aPiscia di Gallu
Six rappels drop through a major granite gorge above Zonza, the sequence built from two to six meter steps, a seven meter slide, and a natural toboggan not to skip.
Unknown flood -
n/aPurcaraccia
Purcaraccia's approach passes an eight to ten meter fault waterfall wedged between two boulders before the descent even begins, in a granite drainage popular enough that Quenza has repeatedly restricted access over crowding and accidents.
Quenza, Corse-du-Sud Unknown flood -
n/aRichiusa
The shortest canyon in this Corsican set, Richiusa drops 220 meters over a bit more than a kilometer outside Bocognano, capped by a 15 meter rappel.
Bocognano, Corse-du-Sud Unknown flood -
n/aSulleoni
Sulleoni carries a single 70 meter rope down 220 meters of granite above the hamlet of Revinda, a short but steep drop for its length.
Unknown flood -
n/aTignoso
Tignoso strings 24 rappels across two separate narrows sections linked by a long march, five kilometers and twelve to sixteen hours in a remote setting best saved for high summer. Local guides are blunt that spring flow makes it dangerous.
Unknown flood -
n/aVacca
Vacca is Purcaraccia's short, mellow neighbor in the same Quenza drainage, about a hundred meters of drop over a kilometer, with most obstacles jumpable after the usual checks.
Quenza, Corse-du-Sud Unknown flood -
n/aZiocu
Ziocu runs open and sunny above Soccia for most of its length, tightening into one true narrows at the midpoint before a deflating thirty minute boulder march to the lower bridge.
Soccia, Corse-du-Sud Unknown flood
