Upper and Middle Vallesinella Falls tour from Casinei - Description

Through forests, past waterfalls and over enchanting suspension bridges to discover the stunning Vallesinella and the alpine lodges Rifugio Casinei, Rifugio Vallesinella and Rifugio Cascate Basse.
A low-altitude itinerary that isn’t too difficult apart from the overall length, but this can easily be broken up into shorter legs. A very pleasant outing for the whole family. Lengthy but without any great elevation gain, this itinerary may be divided into multiple legs interspersed with breaks at the various mountain shelters along the route. The Vallesinella falls are nestled in an enchanting landscape made of streams and suspension bridges, as well as the welcoming lodges along the route, which make great spots for a visit and restorative break.
