The canyon narrows as the guide leads the group off a sun-warmed path; water threads through limestone and then dares you into its clear basins. For 1½ hours you move down the Angon canyon — rappels over small cascades, optional jumps into deep bowls, and a natural toboggan that spits you into emerald pools overlooked by the craggy Prealps.
