RETURN

Follow the conduit around. Pass through a tunnel (head-torch useful but not essential). For those who have accessed the canyon at the intermediate point, take a left and follow the ridge down to where it is possible to cross the river, then make your way back to the Ried-Mörel road. Otherwise contour along the line of the conduit to a track. This joins the Hegdorn road – turn left for Parking A.

INTERMEDIATE ACCESS

This access shaves a third off the descent time. On the main road to the Furka pass, cross over the Massa stream and take a left turn for Ried-Mörel and Ebnet. Continue up the hill, following signs for Ried-Mörel at all junctions. Park 1.6km past the Wasen junction, in an exposed lay-by on the right. From here take the path marked Oberried. Just around the corner the path splits – go right. A brief climb leads to another split. Take a left, along the line of a water conduit. Follow the water conduit all the way to its end, skirting one small area of private property. A head-torch is needed to negotiate a string of lengthy tunnels.
