Top 11 Gorges around Parco Naturale Regionale delle Dolomiti d’Ampezzo

A stop is worthwhile - grandiose view

Fairly easy via ferratas, but in truly beautiful surroundings. The path behind the waterfall is particularly impressive.

A truly beautiful route along the waterfalls, truly rewarding. For experienced climbers, the via ferratas are doable without equipment when the weather is dry - but a helmet is still recommended if others are out and about.

Beautiful waterfalls; you can take a break at the base to admire the power of the water, or even walk around behind the first (highest) waterfall. For those wishing to try the equipped passage behind the waterfall, be careful: it's slippery! Gloves for grip on the support cable and suitable footwear are essential. To ascend the waterfall on the other side, there's a short via ferrata section; special equipment is required.

This connecting path through the “Canyon delle cascate di Fanes” between the lower and upper waterfalls is an absolute must if you want to visit both waterfalls. My recommendation is to go up this path and use the forest path or the easier path away from the stream to return. The path was created with a lot of effort and love. Thanks to the creators of this path with bridges and rope safety!!! It changes banks several times and offers spectacular views of the roaring waters, cascades and waterfalls. I've already walked the tour three times and it never fails to impress me. The lower “Cascata di Fanes” waterfall alone with its opportunity to descend to the foot of the fall and walk behind the fall via the easy via ferrata or to get behind the waterfall from above is more than worth the hike. But only when you follow the wild waters up to the second fall, the “Cascata Sbarco de Fanes”, does the whole dream come true. The second absolute highlight is to stand at the foot of the Cascate Sbarco and marvel at the falling water of the Schleier waterfall before climbing up to the west and getting behind the waterfall using rope safety. All the pictures can't even begin to reflect the reality of these natural wonders!!!! So be sure to visit yourself. The entire tour is strenuous, but it will forever be remembered as one of the most beautiful waterfall tours in the world. These two great third-party videos will help you assess the tour and whether you should go with/without a via ferrata set (many thanks to the producers for sharing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlmLRoWeocc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhPayB9d6Uw

The Ponte Alto spans a narrow but extremely deep gorge. From the bridge or a few meters next to it at a viewing point you have a great overview of the gorge and the stream. Likewise, if you go uphill over the bridge, shortly after the bridge the Ferrata Barbara via ferrata branches off to the right, which leads behind the lower of the two waterfalls and as a via ferrata continues steeply down to the foot of the waterfall and on the other side up to the viewing platform . If you don't have a head for heights, you shouldn't miss it and walk the via ferrata holding the safety rope until behind the waterfall!!!

A place of peace and adventure, recommended to visit on a beautiful sunny day and in the company of friends! Simple route that gets slightly complicated at the via ferrata points but nothing impossible

It is an impervious path that closely follows the Rio Fanes and passes through all its waterfalls. The path ends with a waterfall which can be traversed preferably with a via ferrata kit as it crosses the last waterfall in a suggestive way from below and this makes the path, wire rope and rungs very slippery. However, this section can be avoided and circumvented.
