サウリスの峡谷・トップ3

This CAI trail is officially decommissioned. Some trail markers remain, although, especially in the second section, due to shifting scree, they aren't always where they should be. Not recommended for beginners; experts should proceed slowly and at their own risk.

At the Sappada sign, under a wooden bridge, the Piave River suddenly leaps, creating an environment to behold and heard. "... An enchanting place, a destination for many tourists, including those from the Veneto region, the Acquatona Gorge in Sappada can now be safely admired in all its majesty thanks to the new equipped trail. The area surrounding the deep gorge, carved by the waters of the Piave River where it meets the Rio Acquatona, where it plunges into a 50-meter waterfall... https://www.friulioggi.it/sappada/nuovo-percorso-attrezzato-ammirare-gola-acquatona-19-luglio-2023/

The CAI 341 trail with continuous ups and downs forces those who travel it to a long descent towards the bed of the Fossiana stream, this is the lowest point of the crossing.

The surprise of this tour was discovering this ravine upstream from Lake Sauris. A small cavity just over a meter wide, 30 or 40 meters high.

Be careful with this path, which is advertised as a cycle path; Komoot also suggests it as a gravel path, which it absolutely is not. There is no bridge here and you have to push your bike through the (dry) riverbed.

Great view into a deep gorge

Initially still a good, clearly visible and well-marked path. Further down, the scree gets dangerously steep and it's easy to lose your way. A rockfall helmet doesn't hurt either, especially if there are others on the road.

Narrow and very high gorges carved by the Lumiei River. Starting from the pitch on the road, it takes about twenty minutes on foot, passing through a very small iron bridge and descending to the level of the river. You can walk on the rocks up to the Lumiei River gorge. An unexpected and wonderful show.
