The waterfalls of the Fellaria Glacier offer one of the most evocative natural spectacles in the Valtellina Rhaetian Alps. Located in Valmalenco, they can be reached via a beautiful hike starting from the Roberto Bignami Refuge towards the Eastern Fellaria Glacier. Following the Luigi Marson Glaciological Trail, you reach the glacial lake where, in the warmer months, spectacular waterfalls form, fed by the melting glacier. The landscape is framed by imposing peaks, and the waterfalls' charm intensifies in the afternoon, when the water rushes and the rock face transforms into a spectacle of cascades and streams. The roar of the waterfalls and the blocks of ice floating on the lake offer a unique experience, often accompanied by the sound of glacial calvings due to climate change. I recommend hiking the trail on clear days to fully admire the colors of the lake and the power of the glacial waterfalls. It's a must-see excursion for those who love wild nature and glacial environments.

Impressive and sad at the same time, as it is a testimony to the speed with which the glacier is melting.

Valmalenco and its waterfalls!

Beautiful waterfalls that originate from the Fellaria glacier. Wooden bridges allow you to cross the streams below.

Descending from the Bignami refuge on a zigzag path with steps, you cross the stream on a small wooden bridge and then go up again on the other side of the lake towards Alpe Gembrè. I recommend doing it in the afternoon when the sun's rays are high enough to see the most beautiful colors.
