Orridi di Uriezzo, Alpine canyon system in Antigorio Valley, Italy.

The Orridi di Uriezzo consists of three main gorges carved into granite, featuring deep walls reaching heights between 20 and 30 meters.

The canyon formation occurred approximately 12,000 years ago when the Toce Glacier melted, creating powerful water streams that eroded the rock surfaces.

Local residents maintain traditional hiking paths through the canyons, connecting the ancient villages of Baceno, Premia, and Verampio in the Antigorio Valley.

Visitors need waterproof hiking boots with non-slip soles to explore the canyon system, as the paths remain wet and slippery throughout the year.

The South Orrido extends for 200 meters through the granite rock, featuring subcircular cavities and winding tunnels shaped by glacial waters.
