Access |
|
Approach: from the car go on the asphalted road for a few meters, until a non asphalted road on the right, closed by a bar, with the indication "Val Boazzo"; follow this road to its end and reach the river bed, near a pair of buildings. Go on along the bed for about 15' until the first pool. |
|
Coming back: after the last toboggan you'll be overhanged by an impressive viaduct and in a few meters by a little concrete gangway, crossing the river. Take the path on the right bank and go on until a track which, in a few minutes, takes back to the lower parking. |
