Cascata Pisot, Waterfall in Casto, Italy
Cascata Pisot is a waterfall roughly 30 feet (10 meters) tall set in a narrow gorge near the town of Casto, in the Lombardy region of Italy. It sits within the Parco delle Fucine, a natural area along the Pizzotto river.
The area around the waterfall was long used by local farmers, who relied on the Pizzotto river for their animals and daily needs. Only in recent decades has it drawn visitors from outside the valley.
The trailhead starts from the Parco delle Fucine parking area on the road between Casto and Alone, which is clearly signposted. The walk takes about 10 to 15 minutes each way and is short enough for families, though sturdy shoes are a good idea.
The site has become a known spot for marriage proposals, which is unusual for such a small and out-of-the-way waterfall. The Parco delle Fucine also connects to longer mountain trails, so the waterfall often serves as just the starting point of a bigger walk.
