Cascada da Bernina Waterfall Trail

The Cascada da Bernina waterfall trail
The waterfall trail is a short but extremely worthwhile adventure hike along the Cascada da Bernina. In just 600 meters, it overcomes a total of 85 meters in altitude. This makes the nature all the more magnificent along the Ova da Bernina mountain stream, which rushes down into the valley over several cascades. The entrance is at the Morteratsch RhB station in the direction of the car park.
From three viewing platforms you can watch the torrent make its way through the pristine mountain forest. Sometimes it falls foaming over rocks, sometimes it builds up to form natural whirlpools. On the first viewing platform, a railway viaduct on the Bernina line is at the center. On the other two platforms you can learn exciting things about hydropower and wine transport.

At the foot of the Bernina massif near Morteratsch train station, the little Bernina river tumbles down several waterfalls, gurgling and gurgling. When the train station opened in 1908, it only took a few minutes to get to the Morteratsch Glacier. Today you have to walk about 1 hour on a 3 km long hiking trail up to the "eternal" ice.

Always nice to walk the waterfall path, in every season. Below the small above the big waterfall can easily be visited.
