The waterfall is open only for a short period between June and September, recovering fully their natural conformation.
From the roadside in possible to walk to the bottom of the waterfall and enjoy the massive water wall that comes down.
On top of the waterfall there is a historic hotel (1863), from there we will have amazing view on the valley.

We will use a private minivan (pick up in the hotel at 9.30) and it is possible to have lunch in a tipical restaurant (not included).
