WHY THIS HIKE

Acquafraggia waterfalls and Savogno

The most famous waterfalls in the Valchiavenna, with a village above.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders through woods and stone stairways, climbing the flank of the mountain with a view of the Acquafraggia waterfalls, the most famous in the Valchiavenna, up to the viewpoints where the spectacle is complete. Higher still waits Savogno, an old village set among the mountains of the Val Bregaglia, with its hut: a great classic that never disappoints, where powerful nature and alpine culture sit side by side.

5 reasons to come - the Acquafraggia waterfalls seen from the viewpoints - the village of Savogno, reachable only on foot - the old stone stairways on the way up - Rifugio Savogno for the break - nature and alpine culture in the same day

Who it suits A continuous climb on stone steps: some fitness is needed, but nothing technical.

A classic that warms the heart: come with the Guidders.
