Top 13 Waterfalls around Malo

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

The Calvene Waterfalls Park (officially 'Franco Totaro Natural Park') is a tranquil setting that combines the natural beauty of the waterfalls and forest with several artworks and installations discovered along the easy trail. Among these, a large, stylized horse made of wood and metal stands out at the beginning. The waterfalls are arranged in a series along the valley floor: they appear very evocative, secluded, surrounded by lush vegetation, with the water cascading over the rock it has shaped and covered in a blanket of lush green moss. It's best to visit after days of heavy rainfall to find them lively and thundering; otherwise, they risk being dry. The waterfalls are easily accessible via the family-friendly trail that winds through the forest. An adventurous alternative (EE/EEA) consists of a secured path (with stirrups, ladders, and metal cables) that runs alongside them and up the stream, climbing between the rocks. The park has certainly seen better days: today (June 2024) it is somewhat abandoned, with the picnic area and swings disused; even the artwork seems neglected. Dilapidated and fascinating. https://www.facebook.com/boscodellecascatecalvene

Fantastic path that constantly runs along the valley and the river, a path that leads to the Castiglieri cross, one of the most beautiful places to visit for those who live in the area. Campotamaso, Valdagno. Super recommended, to do at least once

Magnificent Braggion path all along the valley and the river, a path that leads to the Castiglieri cross, one of the most beautiful routes for those who live in the area. Campotamaso, Valdagno.

The deep, shady Boja Valley is a captivating and pristine environment: wild, humid, lush, captivating, and abundant with water. It flows alongside the rushing stream and encounters spectacular and unexpected waterfalls. It is, of course, at its best after days of heavy rain. It is essentially the outward journey of the Braggion Trail, which runs as a loop from/to Campotamaso. It can be treacherous due to the damp and wet terrain, although the most difficult sections are equipped with steel cables, steps, and small bridges. Many documents refer to it as the "Enchanted Valley" for its fairytale appearance, populated by anguàne and salbanèi. "Val del Boja" takes its name from a legend with horror overtones... A solitary family lived here: father, mother, and son, but the young woman died of illness; The man raised his son, named Mattia, with love, earning a living by working as a woodcutter, woodcarver, and herder. He always kept him with him, fearing something would happen to him; but one day, when the boy was eighteen, he sent him alone to sell the fruits of their labor in the village. Just on the way home, the young man was attacked and killed by bandits. When his father learned of this, he went mad and began killing anyone he encountered along the paths with an axe... a hangman, indeed! Until, one stormy night, he died, crying out the name of his beloved son for the last time.

A beautiful and evocative trail, with a wide variety of environments and terrain, well-marked: it's usually followed clockwise, parking near the church of Campotamaso and completing a 7km loop with an elevation gain of 450m. On the outward journey, you ascend the cool and humid Val del Boia, alongside the lively stream and discovering a series of unexpected and impetuous waterfalls, in the midst of a jungle-like forest! It's naturally at its best after heavy rains, leaving you speechless before the richness and power of the water. At the Baita Vecia, the halfway point and the pace change: the return journey unfolds in a succession of ups and downs, with a ledge through steep woods that then transforms into a remarkable segment literally on the ridge, on the edge of two valleys: from the panoramic viewpoint of Monte Turigi, you can enjoy a beautiful all-round view. The trail, named after Gianni Braggion of Campotomaso, who died in a tragic mountain accident in 1990, is maintained (very well) by volunteers from his hometown. The loop is not difficult, but it shouldn't be underestimated: several sections are exposed and the trail can be slippery; steel cables, small bridges, and wooden steps facilitate the more risky sections. http://www.campotamaso.it/html/sentiero_braggion.html

A now historic park much loved by locals and families, a few steps from the town center but surrounded by nature: an oasis of peace and silence with the ancient church of the same name, a stream, waterfalls, wooden bridges, an ancient wash house and several paths for peaceful walks... for pleasant summer Sundays, benches and tables under a canopy, a drinking water fountain, a picnic area with a fireplace for barbecues. It is looked after with great attention and perseverance by an association of volunteers; entry is officially permitted from 6am to 9pm in summer and from 7am to 6pm in winter; to use the barbecue for free, contact the parish of Magrè.

The Val dei Molini is a surprisingly unspoiled and wild environment, where you enter a mysterious and evocative forest: water dominates, forming lively waterfalls and deep ravines; everywhere, lush moss covers rocks and tree trunks. You cross a series of small valleys (Val Sesura, Valle Arlene, Val dell'Asino, Val del Gambero, Val Smiderle, Val Bisele) and ford several streams that eventually flow into the Refosco stream. The Val d'Asino is particularly evocative, where two streams join in an enchanting clearing, forming waterfalls and a deep, winding ravine. The name reflects how the stream was once exploited: the remains of man-made structures, such as stone masonry and building foundations, bear witness to this. Obviously, the valley is at its best after days of rain.
