Description of the route

Whilst the striking beauty of the waterfalls is breathtaking when the snow melts during springtime, the waterfalls remain spectacular all year round: due to the waters constrained by the high rocks that leap downwards, the roar and freshness of the water and the striking landscape surrounding them.

Some of the most beautiful waterfalls, representing the best destinations for short walks:

.“Valdobbia Waterfall”
- from Upper Valdobbia.

.“Loo Waterfall”
- from Pont Sec.

.“Underwald Waterfall”
- from Gresmatten the waterfall can be reached directly in less than 10 minutes.
- from Castello Savoia (Savoy Castle): the waterfall can be found along the ‘Passeggiata della Regina’ (Queen walk).

“Borgofier Waterfall”
- from the main town of Gressoney-Saint-Jean, the waterfall is located along the Lys trail (trail sign n. 14 - towards Gressoney-La-Trinitè) on the right in Borgofier, 15 minutes walk. This waterfall is particularly spectacular during late spring: it seems to dive into the large underlying meadow, filled with blossoming flowers.

Length of walks: approximately 30 minutes
