Cascate Nardis, Waterfall in Carisolo, Italy.
Cascate Nardis is a waterfall in the Genova Valley that plunges roughly 130 meters in a series of vertical drops. The water originates from the Presanella glacier and flows through the Rio Nardis stream down the mountainside.
The waterfall was created by the Rio Nardis stream, which flows from its namesake glacier and has been shaping the Val Genova landscape for thousands of years. The water's power has carved deep gorges and valleys over time.
The waterfall sits within Adamello-Brenta Natural Park and forms part of a network of water trails showing how Alpine waters connect to the lives of local mountain communities. Visitors can see how flowing water has always shaped the land and the rhythm of living in these high valleys.
The waterfall is easy to reach and lies only about 15 minutes' walk from the Ponte Verde parking area. The marked Sentiero delle Cascate trail leads directly to the site and is well-maintained for visitors.
During winter months, the plunging water freezes into intricate ice formations that look like natural ice sculptures. These frozen layers transform the entire landscape and draw ice-climbing enthusiasts to the site.
