Attractions

  • The Waterfall: Cascate del Varone features a dramatic waterfall that plunges nearly 100 meters into a gorge. The waterfall is fed by underground springs from Lake Tenno and cascades through two caves: the lower and upper caves.
  • Lower Cave: This cave offers a view of the waterfall’s final descent, allowing visitors to observe the powerful flow up close.
  • Upper Cave: Located 40 meters higher, this vantage point provides an impressive view of the waterfall’s full drop.
  • Botanical Gardens: The surrounding park includes beautifully maintained botanical gardens with a variety of Mediterranean plants and flowers. The gardens also feature a Zen garden, adding to the serene ambiance.

Additional Facilities

  • Restrooms: Clean and free restrooms are available inside and outside the park.
  • Picnic Areas: Designated picnic spots with tables and umbrellas are provided, allowing visitors to bring and enjoy their own food.
  • Shops: A shop at the entrance sells rain gear and other essentials.
  • Accessibility: The first part of the site is accessible, but the upper areas require climbing stairs, which may be challenging for strollers or wheelchairs.

Nearby Attractions

After visiting Cascate del Varone, consider spending a relaxing afternoon at nearby Lake Tenno, known for its turquoise waters and scenic beauty. This spot is perfect for a leisurely hike or a picnic by the lake.

Tips for Tourists

  • Rain Gear: Due to the intense spray from the waterfall, it is highly recommended to bring waterproof clothing or purchase a rain poncho at the entrance for 2.5€.
  • Footwear: Wear sturdy shoes with good grip as the paths and steel bridges can be slippery.
  • Visiting Time: Plan your visit for early morning on a weekday to avoid crowds and secure parking.
  • Parking: Parking can be challenging, so arriving early or parking a bit farther away and walking to the site is advisable.
  • Photography: Don’t forget your camera, but ensure it is protected from the water spray.
