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.
