Flowery meadows of a thousand colours, surrounded by the most beautiful mountains in the world (Cima Undici and Cima Dodici, the Monzoni Group, the Costabella, Cima Uomo and Col Ombert): in this context stands the Baita alle Cascate, open only in summer but true crossroads for those who love walking in the mountains. The house specialty is polenta.

After a few days of rain, the Rio San Nicoló carries a lot of water and the waterfall with its three branches looks really impressive.

The Barezze Waterfalls are suggestive waterfalls on the Gavon Torrent. The main one, about ten meters long, flows between suggestive reddish slabs. Its origin is to be found in the different nature of quartz porphyries. At the Ponte delle Barezze, the stream encounters a band of softer porphyries and therefore more subject to mechanical erosion. Due to the action of the waters, and above all of the transported rocks, the softer layer was slowly eroded, forming the cliff that can be admired today. You can get there via the Gavon Torrent Geological Path (www.komoot.com/it-it/tour/1241977715), an enhancement work that has improved access; some information tables explain the peculiarities to visitors.

Unfortunately only a measly trickle - and that at the end of April after rain and snowmelt. Very sad and worrying...
