Belvedere - Cascata del Pison - Description

Route in Adamello-Brenta Nature Park Geopark. 
A pleasant walk in the woods in one of the ‘wildest’ environments in Val di Sole: Val Meledrio. Here the waters of River Meledrio will keep you company, while you gaze upon Sasso Rosso, easy to spot thanks to its unmistakable shape and colour. 
This route is part of the Uno Di Un Milione project. Here, through the QR codes on the original water bottles and the dedicated app, you can take part in an experience of art, relation and participation that will help you explore the water running through Val di Sole, discovering how the community in this valley has creatively imagined its own vision of protection for the environment and future generations.

Directions

  • Start

    Folgarida

    Close to Hotel Belvedere in Folgarida (1,350 m asl), pick up the “Ronzola” path on the left down to the so-called “Pont del Pastin” (1,213 m asl). Then continue to the left, along mysterious dense Val Meledrio, until, after an hour, you come to “Pont del Pison” bridge, from where you can just see the waterfall of the same name (visible closer up from a steep narrow path unsuitable for pushchairs that starts on the left before the bridge).
