天皇の峡谷・トップ15

As of August 25, difficult to reach. Hiking trail from Nago closed.

A torrential watercourse in the Ledro valley, the Massangla forms a very charming waterfall at this point. It is located in a small gorge, called Gorg d'Abiss, or "vortex of the abyss" in the local dialect.

Be sure to make a detour to the beautiful spot with the waterfall

free access, better on foot

Beautiful path along a stream to the Cascada Gorg d'Abiss with beautiful vegetation

The via ferrata is entirely inside a narrow gorge where the Salagoni river flows impetuously; therefore it is constantly in the shade. It is a via ferrata that I would rate between 'Easy' and 'Moderately Difficult'. Technically easy (apart from two sections of a few metres overhanging) and with a short approach. The attention to be paid is in any case to the ever-present humidity and the sometimes great distance of the numerous stirrups. It is almost never climbable since a good part winds vertically on the walls of the gorge; and therefore stirrups for the feet and a cable for the hands are used. One last attention to be paid is in following the metal equipment because you can be deceived and end up in slippery sections.

Great on hot days! But be careful in heavy rain: the narrow stream can swell into an apocalyptic river! ⚠️‼️

On this path from Torbole to Nago (the entrance is signposted from the Strada Granda directly behind the Hotel Villa Stella) you get a look back into the Ice Age. Here, maelstroms of meltwater have washed out gigantic funnels beneath the ice, the shape of which is reminiscent of huge cooking pots. Hence the name “Marmitte dei Giganti”. In Italian, "Marmitte" means cooking pot. And then you have to imagine that MTB enduro riders also plunge into this depth on this path. And then you involuntarily think: Nobody can really want THAT 😱!" And yet they do it. And recently three of the world's best bikers (including Hans Rey) even rode up this climb on their e-bikes!!!
