Cascate del Fer
Cascate del Fer are waterfalls in the Italian Alps that descend in multiple tiers across rocky terrain. The water tumbles over natural stone formations, creating a series of pools and rapids along the stream.
The waterfalls formed through natural erosion during the Ice Ages, as glaciers shaped the valley. The mountain stream has carved these cascades into the rock face over thousands of years.
The best views of the waterfalls are reached via a short hiking trail that follows the stream. The ground is wet and slippery, so sturdy shoes and careful footing are essential.
On warm days, mist rises from the base of the waterfalls, creating a natural spray that cools the air and sometimes produces small rainbows. This effect is most visible in early morning or late afternoon light.

Italy offers many locations where one can swim in nature. From rock-carved basins to mountain lakes, hot springs, and secluded coves, the country is full of accessible water spots for those who enjoy swimming away from managed beaches. They can be found all over: in the Dolomite valleys, in the heart of Tuscany, on the coasts of Sardinia or Sicily. Some sites are accessible on foot after a short walk, others have been known to locals for a long time. The water can be icy or warm depending on the region, but it is always surrounded by scenic landscapes. These natural pools are often quiet places where people come to relax, have picnics, or simply enjoy the scenery. They reveal another aspect of Italy, one that is more straightforward and closer to nature.
