As Leonardo da Vinci once said, impressed by the majestic beauty while passing through Valchiavenna, “Up the said river (the Mera), there are waterfalls of 400 fathoms which offer a beautiful view…”

The Acquafraggia Waterfalls, formed by the harmonious intersection of two valleys created by glaciation, are named from the Latin “aqua fracta” (broken water). They consist of a series of waterfalls formed by the constant interruption of the river’s course by rugged rocks, which, mixed with the surrounding vegetation, create a breathtaking landscape. This culminates in the final double waterfall, which flows into an expansive green carpet.

By following the panoramic path, one can reach the picturesque village of Crana, adding even more beauty and charm to the experience.
