Top 11 Waterfalls around La Val - Wengen - La Valle

Fairly easy via ferratas, but in truly beautiful surroundings. The path behind the waterfall is particularly impressive.

Beautiful waterfalls; you can take a break at the base to admire the power of the water, or even walk around behind the first (highest) waterfall. For those wishing to try the equipped passage behind the waterfall, be careful: it's slippery! Gloves for grip on the support cable and suitable footwear are essential. To ascend the waterfall on the other side, there's a short via ferrata section; special equipment is required.

One of my top highlights as a waterfall fan. That's why I've already run this Dolomites circuit three times (2004, 2014 and 2016). A tour and two magnificent waterfalls that you can also go behind 😍 This upper waterfall "Cascate Sbarco de Fanes" is a beauty when you stand at the bottom of the pool and look up. Anyone who already knows this waterfall knows it and can see that you can go behind the waterfall in the upper area. This is actually easily possible for those with a head for heights and the path is also secured with a rope. This is also the start of a short via ferrata Additional tip: If you came via the forest path, you should definitely take the way back along the stream. These two great third-party videos will help you assess the entire tour and whether you should go with/without a via ferrata set (many thanks to the producers for sharing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlmLRoWeocc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhPayB9d6Uw

In my opinion, the path to the metal stairs is only for people who are NOT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.

Behind us we can glimpse the path that enters the heart of the valley.

The first part of Val Travenanzes is like a "Lord of the Rings". Wild and majestic nature. Try to find me in the photo..

Super impressive how deep it goes into the gorge. You have the opportunity to look in both directions.

Val Travenanzes is one of the most evocative places in the Ampezzo Dolomites, the "wild" valley par excellence. It is included between the Tofane group (to the east) and the Lagazuoi - Fanes - Furcia Rossa groups (to the west). An enchanted place, of primordial beauty; completely uninhabited, without roads and shelters. In short, largely safeguarded by human hands. The valley, of glacial origin, presents a rather regular altimetric progression, accompanied by rugged and subvertical slopes. From the confluence with the Val di Fanes it develops a length of almost 10 km, for a positive difference in altitude of approximately 900 m. It is entirely crossed by path 401 which begins near the Cadoris Bridge. In this first stretch it appears as a narrow and deep gorge crossed by the Rio Travenanzes, from whose bottom the clayey layers that form the base of the Dolomites emerge. As the path rises halfway up the debris flows, suggestive water features descend from the peaks of the Tofane. In the central sector, path 401 flattens out significantly and continues on gravel alternating large grassy spaces and fords. Swallowed by the mountain pine forest you finally reach Malga Travenanzes (water point) at an altitude of 1,965 m between meadows and peat bogs. The last climb, the most challenging, takes place on trail sign 404 and leads to the top of the valley, near Forcella Col dei Bos (2,331 m). Fascinating destination, as well as one of the testing grounds of the Lavaredo Ultra Trail.
