ジャリオーネの滝・トップ5

Spectacular panoramic view of the road (with its bridge and hairpin bends), of the waterfalls above and below, and of the valley floor.

A long, scenic climb. Wonderfully strenuous 😅

Imposing waterfalls and easily accessible from the refuge

Go to the 2nd floor of the waterfall (sign), it’s worth the detour

It is worth making this other climb, once you get here, because this village recalls some areas of Trentino, in terms of environments... and then, you can enjoy the spectacle of one of the Novalesa waterfalls up close and, on the opposite side, a view overview of the famous abbey (which is worth visiting, given that it is a short distance from where the descent begins)

waterfall behind Scarfiotti refuge

Arrival Scarfiotti refuge, finally fresh 🙃

I had already been to the Scarfiotti Refuge about ten years ago. It was nice to go back. It is in a beautiful valley surrounded by waterfalls and lakes and of course mountains. The new management is made up of young guys, very kind and welcoming. Excellent general cleaning. We stayed overnight in the shared dormitory - we requested a sheet bag - but being a Friday night it was just us. Abundant breakfast as well as a very abundant dinner, which was welcome because we had arrived by pedaling. Ideal place for an overnight stay and for the subsequent departure towards Sommeiller, but also as a stop for a lunch. Excellent and recommended.
