A varied and diverse hike down to the gorge. The gorge is very impressive. From the gorge, it's about an hour to the jeep transfer. This alone is an extraordinary experience and adventure. From the base camp, we return to the pass in a VW bus. Since it wasn't very crowded, we were able to ride in pairs.

We decided on the spur of the moment, because the weather was good, not too hot and no rain, that we wanted to go to the Gorropu Gorge today. I chose a tour from Komoot, our starting point is at the Passo Genna Silana (Silana Pass) at about 1000 m above sea level (free parking directly on the SS 125). …

We start at the top of the Silana Pass, and the narrow, rocky path leads us gently downhill, past ancient holm oaks with expansive panoramic views. We see far across the maquis-covered plateau, and on the slope, the winding SS125, which we just came on, is visible as a thin line in the dense greenery. To our left, a mighty …

What you don't necessarily expect after a 700-meter descent is a hangover lying at the entrance to the gorge...

We started at the top of the pass. The path into the gorge is very beautiful and easy to walk. Starting early is definitely recommended. We set off shortly after 8:00 a.m. and had the gorge almost to ourselves. A wonderful …

Impressive gorge, but you should already be able to walk well. Return transport by jeep exciting but recommendable.

We started at the Senna Solana pass. From there we went to the entrance of the Gorropu gorge, mostly downhill. Entry costs 6 euros. In the gorge you first follow a green route. Then you continue on yellow. We skipped the red part because it requires more climbing skills. We went back the same way to the entrance. We took …
