Salt de Sallent

Salt de Sallent is a waterfall in the Collsacabra region of Catalonia that drops steeply in multiple sections, creating a powerful cascade and plunge pool surrounded by rocky cliffs. The water continues flowing downstream through a narrow gorge cut into the mountain landscape.

The waterfall has been shaped over millennia by flowing water that carved the surrounding rocks into the narrow gorge visitors see today. Local settlements in the region developed around water sources, relying on these falls as part of their landscape for centuries.

The waterfall forms part of the Collsacabra region, where traditional farming methods and medieval architecture remain preserved in surrounding villages.

Visitors can reach the waterfall by following marked trails from Rupit village, which take you across a hanging bridge and along the path leading to Font de Carraguell. The terrain is rocky and can become slippery after rain, so sturdy footwear and caution are advisable.

Below the falls, the water creates a narrow gorge informally known as the Devil's Gorge, where natural rock formations create an otherworldly setting that many visitors overlook. This section feeds directly into the Susqueda reservoir, making the waterfall part of a larger water system that shaped the region.
