Cascata di Salino, Natural waterfall in Mammola, Italy

Cascata di Salino, also called schioppo di Salino by local shepherds, is where the Salino stream, a tributary of the Torbido, drops about 70 metres in two jumps between gorges of iron-rich rock. The falls lie in the Aspromonte National Park, in the municipality of Mammola, Reggio Calabria province.

Along the Salino stream, flax and broom were once soaked in the water, and Mammola weavers turned the fibres into cloth on looms. Beside the torrent, stonemasons cut local granite into steps, doorways and millstones for mills and oil presses. The falls themselves are called schioppo by the local shepherds.

Local shepherds call the falls lo schioppo, the name used in Mammola. Until the mid-20th century, women soaked flax and broom in the Salino to weave on looms, while stonemasons cut granite beside the stream into steps, doorways and millstones. Today the torrent is a canyoning route for experts and beginners descending the 70-metre drop.

The route follows the Salino stream bed, which can be walked along its edge or waded through, with short jumps between the boulders. The source describes the path as accessible even to inexperienced walkers; the waterfall drops 70 metres in two jumps between iron-rich rock gorges. Hikers and canyoning enthusiasts use the stream throughout the year.

Local shepherds call the falls "schioppo", a dialect word for the sudden drop. The torrent is also a canyoning route: experts descend the 70-metre Salino jump with alpine abseiling techniques, while beginners follow the streamside path.
