カルヴェーネの峡谷・トップ15

This route is absolutely a very challenging one! We started hiking from Rotzo with children aged 5 to 10. It's just manageable up to the waterfalls and a very beautiful hike. At the waterfall itself, there's a pleasant flat section but with dangerously deep drops. The return route is downright dangerous from the start and not recommended. We explored the route a bit further, and there it's even risky for adults. Many other hikers turned back as well.

Path that connects the Lorenza cave to the fire road, a gully full of stones recommended for people with a little practice and not recommended when wet as it is really slippery, once on the fire road you can continue straight to almost get to the top of the mountain

Very small rock labyrinth, but nice to do, be careful in winter that between fallen trees that do not allow passage and the frozen snow you risk getting hurt.

A beautiful place in the Assa Gorge.

Natural chasm that nature is now recovering, worth seeing if you pass through the area

The Valle dei Gorghi Scuri is a fascinating and narrow impluvium full of waterfalls, natural pools, whirlpools and lively waterways formed by the Valletta stream, which originates right here. As a frame, a florid and lush vegetation of ferns and moss. The path starts from the hamlet of Capo di Sopra, along a dirt road that runs along the rising gorge carved out by the stream from above, where the first water features can be glimpsed; from here you reach the upper part, the most evocative and fairy-tale-like, where you can venture off-track, as far as the water and rocks allow depending on the season. I recommend the route after the rains, even if the path can be slippery (EE), and in spring/summer, when very green and lush vegetation frames the water.

Here, the Pach stream (which in the Cimbrian language actually means "stream") cascades over a thirty-meter (?) drop, forming a waterfall amidst lush vegetation. It's a charming spot, hidden in the heart of the forest, beneath the Rotzo basin, between the sheer cliffs of the Val d'Assa. Unfortunately, it's a stroke of luck to find an active waterfall instead of a trickle of water, due to the Pach's torrential nature and the increasingly dry seasons. The ideal time to visit is after heavy rains, but this makes the trail treacherous and slippery.

A small but evocative geological labyrinth: nature has carved deep furrows into the hard Rosso Ammonitico limestone, forming corridors that pass through square blocks of rock. Rosso Ammonitico is a pinkish rock from the Jurassic period, generally characterized by a notable abundance of ammonite fossils, hence its name. Within the labyrinth, you'll also find the Cima del Monte Corno (1,383 m): the highest point is here, not where the Monument to the Unknown Soldier overlooks the plain. Along the perimeter of the rocky agglomeration are two Italian artillery emplacements from the First World War, dug directly into rock turrets to defend the Piana di Granezza below, which was an important logistics base. The trail is enjoyable, but not clean: some secondary branches are blocked by fallen trees; in winter, there is ice; in summer, nettles infest some passages.
