First Rutor Waterfall

The three Rutor waterfalls are part of the country's history and are shrouded in myths and legends. Daughters of the lakes fed by the Rutor glacier, the wonderful waterfalls that can be visited in summer are three impetuous waterfalls that throw themselves into gorges and precipices, carving out the rock with all the power of the melting water.

Starting from the hamlet of La Joux at 1,603 meters above sea level and located just three kilometers from the town of La Thuile, you can reach the first of the three with a beautiful path up to the third waterfall which is located at 1,996 metres.

The first observation point is found shortly after passing the farmhouses of La Joux, along a mule track that passes through coniferous woods.

The first waterfall is surprising: the emotion of the rainbow and the force of the water arouse incredible sensations.

The first waterfall of the Rutor can be visited thanks to a walk accessible to all families, even with children (not in stroller).

First jump of the Dora del Rutor. Very impressive and easy to reach even by less experienced hikers.
