DESCRIPTION
Long walk in Val Genova between streams, waterfalls and lush woods.
The Waterfall Trail in Val Genova is a well-known and popular itinerary, because hikers - often families with small children - can easily move around the valley with the shuttles. In addition to the beautiful waterfalls of Pedruc, Casina Muta, Folgorìda, Lares and Nardis, you can admire the beautiful Dolomite peaks of the Adamello, the beautiful and impetuous river Sarca and breathe deeply in the lush woods. There is no shortage of refreshment points or equipped picnic spots.

After parking at P4 (913 m) take the shuttle to Val Genova at Ponte Verde and go down to Malga Bedole (1580 m). Continue along the dirt road towards the Rifugio Bedole.

Following the well-marked path in order, you pass the Pedruc waterfall (1500 m), the Ponte del Camp (1435 m), the Casina Muta waterfall (1350 m).
