Tips
Trail reopened on November 9, 2024:
leccotoday.it/attualita/sentiero-delle-vasche-frana-lavori-riapertura-.htmlTrail equipped with chains that aid progression and some exposed sections. There are some challenging sections that could challenge a novice. For comparison: the technical difficulties of these short sections make this trail, overall, much more challenging than the river trail in Val Meria.I recommend watching this video and reading the recommendations in the description:

A splendid canyon dug by the Inferno river at the gates of Valmadrera. The path is equipped with steps, chains and everything needed to go up the river and reach the waterfall. Along the way it is possible to stop and swim, if you are not too cold. Beautiful to observe how it changes depending on the time of day and the seasons.

Incredible section, with a few tricky sections of via ferrata (climbing/scrambling with the help of chains). If you're fit and patient enough, you're rewarded with these spectacular pools. Recently reopened after repairs with a slight variation from the map route, so be sure to follow the red/white markers!
