    Hiking

    The Serio waterfalls are among the most particular that exist in Italy. With their jump of over 300 metres, they are among the highest in Europe. Furthermore, the waterfalls are formed only 5 times a year, on pre-established dates, as a result of the opening of the dam. The calendar of openings can be consulted at this link: valseriana.eu/eventi/aperture-cascate-del-serio

    Fun fact: they are the waterfalls that are the backdrop to the film "Call me by your name".

    Famous waterfalls formed by the Serio river, a few kilometers after its birth (Passo del Serio), in the municipality of Valbondione: the head of the waterfall is at 1715m, not far from the Curò refuge. The waterfalls are over 300m high and are divided into 3 jumps.

Always check local weather and trail conditions before you head out.

    This trail is not just about the physical challenge; it is also a journey through a rich natural environment. As you hike, keep an eye out for diverse flora and fauna, including the chance to spot ibex and marmots in their natural habitat.
