The Foga Falls are located in the Foga Valley, just above Valbondione, and offer a striking natural spectacle with a drop of approximately 125 meters at an altitude of 1,800 meters. These waterfalls are immersed in a fascinating landscape and historical context, linked to the Redorta mountain huts and the area's mining history. Here's a detailed overview: 🌊 Characteristics of the Foga Falls Elevation: approximately 1,800 meters above sea level. Drop: 125 meters, visible in all its grandeur, especially during flood periods. Visual effects: Rainbows often form in the cascading water, making the site particularly photogenic. 🥾 Access and itineraries Recommended trail: CAI 331, which starts from the town of Valbondione, near the bus depot. Duration: About a 30-minute walk to reach Salvasecca, which provides access to the Foga Valley and the waterfalls. Difficulty: Low, also suitable for less experienced hikers. Alternative route: From Lizzola Bassa, a 6.6 km loop with 487 m of elevation gain. 🏞️ Landscape and historical context The Foga Valley opens west of Valbondione, descending steeply from the slopes of Pizzo Redorta. It is crossed by a penstock that feeds the Dossi power plant, with a historic stone tower (ENEL well) visible along the trail. The Redorta and Rigù huts are ideal destinations for continuing the hike, immersed in the greenery of the Orobie Alps.

Beautiful waterfalls are visible both at this point on the agro-forestry/pastoral road and at 1,100 meters above sea level on the short stretch of trail that branches off from the bend in the road. From this second point, the waterfalls are truly impressive!

Beautiful waterfalls, both visually and physically, given the cool atmosphere. Useful for taking some photographs and for cooling off and refilling water bottles.

beautiful but the people a little less so

A suggestive and exciting panoramic point

Lake Coca is a small alpine lake that deserves to be seen. Just a 30 minute flat walk from Rifugio Coca Merelli.

The Serio River Falls are only open 2-3 times a year, especially in summer. They are worth seeing because they are among the largest and most spectacular in Europe, and the low point of the Maslana Observatory is the best place to see them!
