Canavacia waterfall and Cornisello Lake - Description

A challenging, high-altitude itinerary through the stunning landscape of the Adamello-Presanella group, featuring the Cornisello lakes and the majestic Canavacia waterfall.
An amazing itinerary with the Brenta Dolomites rising majestically across the valley. This outing takes you through the granite heart of the Adamello-Presanella group, a rocky landscape featuring lovely streams and stunning waterfalls. This is a steep, highly enjoyable climb, and the view of the Brenta Dolomites and the spires around Val Nambrone make all the effort well worth it.
