For me, as a waterfall fan, the entire route from the parking lot at the information center to the upper waterfall or beyond into the Tal di Fanes is one of the top highlights of the Dolomites.
That's why I've already done this waterfall tour in Val di Fanes three times (2004, 2014 and 2016).
A tour and two magnificent waterfalls that you can also go behind 😍
It should be noted, however, that if you climb via the viewing platform you get to the foot of the magnificent waterfall, but you also have to overcome a rocky step with a safety rope and sometimes with stairs to get to the top. This was never a problem for me, even without a via ferrata set. However, my wife and my friend turned around here and took the longer detour back and also chose the planned return route as the way out, so that we met again at the top of the waterfall at the crossing point.
From there you can also use rope safety to get behind the lower waterfall.
The path to the upper waterfall is again a dream, thanks to the creators of this path with bridges and rope protection!!!
The upper waterfall is also indescribably beautiful and you can also get behind the waterfall veil in the upper area.
Clearly visible in the pictures.
The lower waterfall falls vertically in the lower area, the upper one falls more like a veil!!!
These two great third-party videos will help you assess the tour and whether you should go with/without a via ferrata set (many thanks to the producers for sharing)
