Canyon’s detailed description
The Pas de l’Escalell is an impressive canyon located in Castell de l’Areny, in the region of Berguedà. This area is known for its mountainous terrain and unique natural landscape. The ravine has a length of approximately 600 meters and offers a spectacular landscape with a vertical drop of up to 200 meters.
Once inside the canyon, we find ourselves surrounded by vertical sandstone walls and large stone blocks that have been sculpted by water over the years. Therefore, we will venture into a lush and narrow environment. The route passes through several sections with water pools and many rappels, making this route an exciting experience.
It is important to note that Pas de l’Escalell requires a certain level of physical and technical preparation, making it suitable for people who have already practiced canyoning before and whose goal is to refine their rappelling technique.
Therefore, Pas de l’Escalell is a unique experience for nature and adventure lovers, offering a spectacular environment and a challenging route for those seeking a bit of excitement and adrenaline amidst nature.
Activity operation
We will meet at the meeting point, usually where we will leave the vehicles or from where we will depart with the minimum number of vehicles to the nearest parking lot to the activity.
There, all participants will meet with the guide, we will distribute personal equipment to each person and provide the necessary explanations.
From there, we will all set out to do the activity together. For longer approaches, we ask that you wear comfortable walking clothes, which will be worn under the wetsuit when descending the canyon. We recommend swim trunks or shorts and a sports fabric shirt.
After the activity, we will return to the same point where we left the cars.
Once there, we will change and return the equipment to the guide’s vehicle.
