Valpiana - Sass Pisador Waterfall

Safety information

Rules for mountain walks:

• The walkability of trails in a mountain environment is strictly linked to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, make sure you are well informed about the route and its conditions before setting out. You can do this by contacting the nearest Information Office;
• If you plan to reach a malga or refuge, make sure they are open and, if you intend to stop to eat or sleep, call them in advance to book;
• Leave information about your itinerary and always carry your mobile phone;
• In case of accident call number 112;
• Never leave rubbish at altitude and, if possible, avoid leaving it at the refuges or malgas you visit;
• If you spot wild animals along the route, we invite you to stay on the path you are following, do not approach too closely, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to avoid it chasing them by instinct and scaring them;
• Mask use must also be respected in the mountains;
• Keep a safe distance of at least 2 meters from people;
• Avoid sharing personal effects, tools, and bottles or flasks with other people;
• Carry hand sanitizer to frequently disinfect hands and surfaces;

Starting point

Directions

Following the signs to Malga Valpiana - Sass Pisador Waterfall, you will cross a stretch of green meadows among larches and firs. Continuing along the path, suddenly, almost unexpectedly, the Sass Pisador Waterfall will appear before your eyes. Its current is not among the strongest, but its waters flowing along the rock, together with the surrounding scenery, are a natural spectacle not to be missed.
After admiring it, reach Malga Valpiana, where we suggest a stop to taste its products and enjoy the silence. From here, comfortably return to the starting point.
