The Crivella River Waterfall

The Crivella River Waterfall trail offers an easy hiking experience through the scenic eastern hills of Turin. You will follow easily accessible paths through river valleys and dense forests, crossing the Rio Crivella multiple times. The highlight is a prominent, picturesque waterfall, often described as having an "alpine style" despite its proximity to the city. This easy hike covers 3.4 miles (5.4 km) with an elevation gain of 372 feet (113 metres), and you can typically complete it in about 1 hour and 31 minutes. At the base of the waterfall, a pool invites you for a refreshing swim on warmer days.

This trail is suitable for all skill levels, fitness levels, and even children, making it a great family outing. While the paths are generally easy, be aware that sections can become muddy, especially after heavy rains or during winter, so bringing spare shoes is a good idea. The trail surface varies, including unpaved sections, some road portions, and even small "mountain hiking path" segments. The waterfall's flow is more significant after rainfall, enhancing its visual appeal.

Highly rated among local hikers in Torino, the Crivella River Waterfall offers a refreshing escape from the city heat. Its unique "alpine-style waterfall a short distance from the city" makes it a notable destination. Despite being a beautiful path in the woods, it remains somewhat "little known" to a wider audience, adding to its charm for those seeking a more local experience. The presence of an easily accessible waterfall within a relatively short and undemanding hike sets it apart.
