Tips from the Community
The Ducan Falls at the end of the side valley is a tourist attraction, as you can take a bus to the Walserhuus, and from there it's only a short hike. The waterfall is beautiful to look at, and you can walk to the impact zone to admire it.

Cascada da Bernina waterfall trail The Cascada da Bernina waterfall trail The waterfall trail is a short but extremely worthwhile adventure hike along the Cascada da Bernina. In just 600 meters, it overcomes a total of 85 meters in altitude. This makes the nature all the more magnificent along the Ova da Bernina mountain stream, which rushes down into the valley over several cascades. The entrance is at the Morteratsch RhB station in the direction of the car park. From three viewing platforms you can watch the torrent make its way through the pristine mountain forest. Sometimes it falls foaming over rocks, sometimes it builds up to form natural whirlpools. On the first viewing platform, a railway viaduct on the Bernina line is at the center. On the other two platforms you can learn exciting things about hydropower and wine transport.

Beautiful waterfall in the Val Nera. To get close to the waterfall you need to walk up the slopes and wooden steps. The path on the right of the valley is very beautiful, but for a bike ride uphill I think the path on the left is better.
