white water
In general, the uneven terrain in streams an rivers is called white water because it creates splashes and waves that appear white so here white water paths or routes could probably due just fine.

: might the 'percorsi' not also refer to things like abseils too?

paths/routes involving jumping
I did a quick search (no idea this sport even existed) and it can involve jumping. Could this be what you are looking for?
from http://www.highonadventure.com/Hoa98feb/Bungee/bungee.htm:
Canyoning is an activity foreign to the lawyer-burdened, litigation-happy United States, but wildly popular in Switzerland and many areas of Europe. We were outfitted in full wet suits, helmets, spray and life jackets, harnesses and booties. We waddled downstream, working through waterfalls and rapids, sometimes by diving, jumping, swimming or sliding through narrow, spectacular gorges.
