Beautiful waterfall that is bigger than expected. Easily accessible from Stresa. If you want to continue on to Levi, you should wear sturdy shoes and be very fit.

The waterfall was no longer closed on Sept 24 and had a lot of water because it had rained heavily 2 days before. The hike is moderately difficult because there are steep climbs to be mastered. Difficult as a return route, better to go back via Levo. We took the route from Stresa via Levo as a circular route.
