Canyoning Riu e Forru e cascate di Pirincanes

We’re in the territory of Arzana, on the Ogliastra side of the Gennargentu massif. Here, the Riu ‘e Forru stream has spent centuries carving the Pirincanes gorge into something extraordinary — a natural jewel sculpted in deep, flowing grooves.

In just a few hundred metres, this canyon takes you through towering rock corridors lined with pink granite, dressed with foaming waterfalls and punctuated by a sequence of rope descents suited to every level.

Short in distance. Unforgettable in experience.

Watch where you step — and keep your eyes open.

The stream and its surroundings are home to rare and protected species found almost nowhere else on earth. Look out for the Sardinian trout gliding through the clear water, and the extraordinary Sardinian brook salamander (euprotto) — the only member of the salamandrid family on the island, recognizable by its green-brown camouflage skin.

Every rock you touch, every pool you swim in — this is a living ecosystem. Tread lightly and soak it all in.

 

Riu ‘e Forru is far more than a beginner-friendly canyon. It’s your personal playground in the heart of Sardinia — packed with natural pools of pure, crystal-clear water where you’ll want to linger long after the rope descents are done.

A few rappels will give you just the right dose of adrenaline to take on the world — and the pools will give you everything else. Slow down, breathe, and let the noise of daily life fade out.

Oh — and bring your phone. You’ll want the video.

 

Riu ‘e Forru is fully accessible to beginners. The technical difficulty is low and the physical effort required is medium-low — manageable for most people with a basic level of fitness.

Minimum age: 12 years old.

A little general fitness helps, but no canyoning experience is needed. Our certified guides will take care of everything else.

This is where your canyoning journey begins.
