Top 18 Waterfalls around Torrebelvicino

OK, it didn't look quite as magnificent in September, but it was definitely worth seeing.

The Cascata dei Papalini suddenly appears in a small clearing in the heart of the forest, along the path: over time the falling water has formed a columnar deposit of gray limestone that descends like a drape and that partly acts as a springboard for the jet. But the peculiarity and spectacular nature of this waterfall is the possibility of seeing it even from behind the scenes: in fact, by climbing to the left on a short but steep path, you reach a natural roof of the rock from which you can observe the forest below through the curtain of water, without getting wet! The passage is not protected and is wet, so you need to pay particular attention. Like all torrential waterfalls, it is not always full and active: you need to look for the right period, perhaps after heavy rains, to visit it in all its thunderous splendor.

Beautiful waterfall, it looks like a face with one eye, a big nose and teeth😊

Numerous streams descend from the Altopiano delle Montagnole, creating lively waterfalls in secluded valleys. The Sette Fontane waterfall, rather than a vertical waterfall, is a sloping section of the stream that descends between the rocks: to be visited in post-rain periods, to find it impetuous and swollen. Nearby, continuing along the path to the left, you come to another small intake structure that cuts the Lora stream. In the 1920s, all this wealth of water was exploited by the Lanificio Marzotto to produce electricity, with a system of waterworks that are still functioning: three small concrete dams, corresponding to as many springs (Lora, Sette Fontane and Lambre), convey the water into the Obante basin below (capacity 800 cubic meters), next to the road that goes up to the Rifugio Battisti; from there, via a forced conduit, it reaches the Gazza Power Plant, further downstream, to generate hydroelectric energy (175 l/s, 2,500 MWh). The waterfalls and the structures cross each other along the Sentiero delle Cascate, a simple family-sized ring, immersed in the woods, which starts from Malga Lora or Vasca Obante and goes up to Rifugio Battisti, and then descends again.

Valle del Boia, a very fresh valley near the town of Campotamaso

Not a particularly large waterfall, but visible from a characteristic shelter that overlooks the waterfall itself. It can be reached from Malga Prà via a path immersed in the woods. The trail is a bit challenging and has ropes in some places. Attention: the highlight is marked as mountain biking, but the waterfall can only be reached on foot!!!!

The Papalini waterfall is a small waterfall in the middle of the woods, it deserves to be seen

The Brazzavalle waterfall is a 30-meter drop from the Le Fratte stream, nestled in a picturesque and pristine environment, nestled and "hidden" among woods and rocks. Just above the waterfall, a suspended walkway has been installed, culminating in a transparent glass cube: from there, you can admire the cascading water, with the void beneath your feet; a dizzying and breathtaking sensation! The structure, called the "Glass Cube," opened in 2020, is 3 meters long and 80 cm wide. The EE trail that leads to the waterfall in about fifteen minutes can be slippery on wet ground, but ropes help with the more difficult sections.
