A short hiking trip to the upper part of the Forra del
Vinadia
Park your car near the bus stop in the little village of
Vinaio.
Now follow the road in the direction of Lauco for a few meters
until you reach the start of the trail into the 'Forra del Vinadia'
right behind the transformer station.
Follow the path marked by red triangles into the canyon - on some
places you might need your hands but the climbing passages are
never difficult. Once you pass a large rock-gate you'll reach a
beautiful open space where Rio Pichions enters the canyon with a
big waterfall.
The cache is hidden on the east side of the river, to the right of
an old and mighty tree. You'll have to cross the creek to reach it.
Satellite reception might be bad so take the spoiler pictures with
you.
Enjoy that great place and don't miss the lower part of the canyon
which you can reach after some fun boulder hopping.
If you are feeling really adventurous, you could go down the via
ferrata through the upper part of the Vinadia-gorge (I haven't done
this trip yet, so I don't know how difficult this is...)
