WHY THIS HIKE
The Pis del Pesio Waterfalls
Four waterfalls inside a nature park.

Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
If you love waterfalls, those of the Valle Pesio have to be seen: four falls, each finer than the last, inside the Marguareis Nature Park, in the Ligurian Alps. You walk surrounded by beech woods, larches and firs, while the undergrowth brings out a great variety of flowers, helped along by the cool, damp climate. The wildlife observatory lies along the route too.
5 reasons to come - the four waterfalls of the Pis del Pesio - the Marguareis Nature Park - woods of beech, larch and fir - the flowers of the undergrowth - the wildlife observatory along the loop

Go to bed early, have a good breakfast and drink before you set off: you've got 4 h and 600 m of ascent ahead, if you go to the mountains a couple of times a month, you're fit enough
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Warm layers, a windproof jacket, 1.5 litres of water and a headlamp: the days are getting shorter, plus poles. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish

Pian delle Gorre
Pian delle Gorre is a lovely green clearing where the refuge of the same name stands. It's a typical mountain hut built with natural materials, a popular picnic spot and starting point for many hikes in the valley.

Following the trail that runs alongside Rifugio Pian delle Gorre, you can admire the First Saut Waterfall. A few metres further on, you can also see the Second Waterfall. Next, you reach the Pis del Pesio cave and, finally, you can admire the Gias Fontana Waterfall, the most photogenic of them all.
