Top 15 Waterfalls around Ronzo-Chienis

Hidden in the heart of a deep gorge carved by the Brasa stream, in the municipality of Tremosine sul Garda, this waterfall is a natural treasure of rare intensity. The waterfall reveals itself to visitors along the iconic Strada della Forra, nestled between very high rocky walls that seem to touch, creating an almost hypogeal environment dense with humidity. The energy of the flow, which over the centuries has powered forges and mills, today manifests itself in a wild scenario where the roar of the water echoes in the narrow canyon. In the evening, artistic lighting transforms the waterfall into a magical spectacle, highlighting the play of light on the limestone rocks and making the atmosphere suspended between the power of geology and the discreet charm of one of the most secret corners of Lake Garda.

You start next to the road tunnel, a very technical trail with very uneven ground and high steps, only for an expert guide, but very fun and rewarding once you get to the bottom. The last part is very difficult, only for super experts, and if you bring it and have shoes with bindings, be careful.

The Via Ferrata Caduti di Nassirya is an exciting adventure between rock walls and a stream that flows between mossy rocks. The route includes suspension bridges, metal ladders and vertiginous passages, with spectacular views of waterfalls.

If you haven't had enough climbing after the Ferrata Salagoni, you can continue straight away with this second section, the Ferrata Caduti di Nassirya. It leads through the upper Salagoni Gorge to the waterworks. The via ferrata is classified as Category C, as there are short sections of this difficulty. If you want to do the Ferrata Caduti di Nassirya as a standalone via ferrata tour without first climbing the Ferrata Sallagoni, you can also descend from Castello Drena and start directly. You will almost exclusively follow the stream. Footholds will keep your feet dry. However, keep an eye on the weather and avoid the trail if heavy rain is imminent.

More information about opening times etc. can be found here: https://www.cascata-varone.com/de/ Make sure you take a rain jacket with you... no one comes out dry here 😜😂! We were there at the end of October and were glad to have a change of clothes in the car 😉. Definitely a welcome refreshment in the summer ☀️

Easily doable with the Enduro. It only gets a bit tricky at the very bottom. There is also a beautiful waterfall along the way where you can cool off.

The Zambel Waterfall ('el Zambelòn' in the local dialect) is an enchanting natural setting: the stream plunges briskly between high rock walls into a natural pool; the cool, clear water flows into a clearing surrounded by greenery; the sun's rays often penetrate it, creating evocative beams of light and rainbows! It's naturally at its best after rainy days. It's also known as the Calliano Waterfall (name of the nearby town), the Rio Cavallo Waterfall (from the name of the stream and the valley of the same name), or the Rosspach/Rossbach Waterfall (the Cimbrian equivalent of the river): the watercourse was so named because it descended from Folgaria in a very winding and impetuous manner, like a restless colt. The waterfall is actually an ancient artificial dam, as evidenced by the stone blocks that compose it entirely, without the use of cement. In the 15th century, the left canal (above the greenhouse) was built for agricultural purposes and likely to fill the defensive moat of nearby Castel Pietra. In the 17th century, the right industrial canal ('roggia') was also built, descending to Calliano and flowing into the Adige River. Over the centuries, it has served to provide mechanical power to countless industrial and manufacturing activities (mills, sawmills, hammer mills, spinning mills). It can be reached from below, via an easy path from Calliano, or from above, via a short route equipped with ropes and steps. In summer, the site is quite popular for cooling off and sunbathing.

Here, on the Via Nuova, you get a nice first view and impression of the Varone waterfall! For 7 euros entry and enough time, you can of course see more of it. Unfortunately, the location is already very touristy: https://www.cascata-varone.com/de/varone-wasserfall.htm
