One of the valley that feed the Vurganera creek in Pigolara area features a sequence of tall rock slides. Its first part is almost always dry, while at springs' altitude the valley assumes the typical characteristics of the streams of Vurganera-Coserie area.

Descent is fairly demanding due to the wilderness and to canyon's features.

I remember ...

I was expecting something similar to the very close Fosso della Pigolara. instead we noticed that Nature can offer substantially different routes even in the same area.
Overall, the route was less aesthetic than Fosso della Pigolara, due to the absence of water in the "slides" part, but the harsh and wild environment gave us good emotions anyway.
