サントステファノディカドーレの峡谷・トップ6

The normal route to the Hochweißstein goes through this gully.

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.

Done downhill, you arrive at an obvious deviation to the left where you have to go down a rocky gully, on the right wall there is a steel cord that can facilitate the descent, but there are some unsecured sections that require great attention. In some cases the rock is very smooth, in others you proceed by downclimbing until you move away from the wall only for expert hikers.

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

A naturalistic path which, following it, will take you to the wonderful Bordaglia lake
