Canyon Sorna

The starting point of the hike to Canyon Sorna is Cornè, near Brentonico. The path takes you through the forest and past waterfalls, suspension bridges and stairs along the Sorna River, which has formed the eponymous canyon.

The Canyon allows you to discover an uncontaminated natural world with interesting places hidden in its dense vegetation. Here, time seemingly doesn't exist. Visit the ancient mines which served as a coal extraction site during World War II and seize the opportunity to explore the stunning and suggestive cave of the Canyon with its numerous stalactites by crossing the river and, temperatures permitting, taking a bath in the natural basins along the trail.

While walking you'll also have to cross the "Pont del Diaol", the "Ponte del Diavolo" (Devil's bridge), surrounded by various legends, from where you can admire a 30 metres deep gorge.

It is highly recommended to visit the inside of Canyon Sorna only with an experienced guide who perfectly knows the itinerary. The hike can be completed in about six hours of walking time, depending on how many breaks are needed. (Difficulty level: medium/hard, difference in altitude: 350 m, requires basic physical and technical preparation).
