Beautiful pools with crystal clear water. Trail 15b (Lake Trail) repeatedly crosses the stream, often with fixed chains; waterproof boots are highly recommended, especially in the less warm months.

Incredible section, with a few tricky sections of via ferrata (climbing/scrambling with the help of chains). If you're fit and patient enough, you're rewarded with these spectacular pools. Recently reopened after repairs with a slight variation from the map route, so be sure to follow the red/white markers!

The spectacle is remarkable, accompanied by the deafening roar of the waters that fall from above with a jump of 50 meters. The imposing rocky walls carved by the water over the millennia suggest a primordial image in front of which one feels very small. This place surrounded by wild nature is a hidden jewel in the heart of Grigna, an oasis of peace and tranquility.

The Nesso Gorge, the highlight of the place and probably the most famous on Lake Como.
