Rather easy via ferrata through an impressive karst gorge with many altitude meters.

The Meledrio torrent, which rises in a small valley of the same name between the famous Val di Sole and Val Rendena, becomes a small but fascinating waterfall here. The water here is always particularly cold. You are near Folgarida, about halfway up the climb to the Campo Carlo Magno pass.

From this wooden walkway - the Pont del Pison - you can look out over the Meledrio stream and see the Pison Waterfall from above. To see the waterfall in its entirety, you will need to continue for about 200 meters and take the path on the right that leads to the front of the waterfall. The Pont del Pison is located immediately after a tunnel dug into the rock.

Very impressive via ferrata of moderate difficulty, including some spectacular gorge sections. At the start of the "variant" there is a 30 meter high ladder section, which also marks the maximum difficulty. This is followed by a rather "tightened hiking trail" until you turn into the crevasse-like gorge, which the trail follows from here. First, vertically over a rock step, but comfortably secured with a rope and iron cramps, it then continues pathlessly in the gorge floor. You can hardly get lost in the gorge, some of which is well over 50 meters deep, but you still have to find your own way over the scree, only a few markings, some of which are quite faint, show that you are in the right place. Stay close to the rock faces, falling rocks from a great height cannot be ruled out here. After vigorous climbing, the gorge widens a bit and at the end you emerge from a beautiful basin into which several small waterfalls flow.
