The Barezze Waterfalls are suggestive waterfalls on the Gavon Torrent. The main one, about ten meters long, flows between suggestive reddish slabs. Its origin is to be found in the different nature of quartz porphyries. At the Ponte delle Barezze, the stream encounters a band of softer porphyries and therefore more subject to mechanical erosion. Due to the action of the waters, and above all of the transported rocks, the softer layer was slowly eroded, forming the cliff that can be admired today.
You can get there via the Gavon Torrent Geological Path (komoot.com/it-it/tour/1241977715), an enhancement work that has improved access; some information tables explain the peculiarities to visitors.
