Easy via ferrata, but steep wall. Only go for a head for heights. You get behind 2 waterfalls. A unique experience.

Fanes Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

What a fantastically beautiful place! One waterfall is even bigger than the other! The Sbarco de Fanes is really gigantic. It is beautiful to see from the front, but the route behind the waterfall is really an experience!

Useful equipment for equipped trails, to go up after the upper waterfall (Sbarco di Fanes - Cengia di Mattia)

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

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.

One of my top highlights as a waterfall fan. That's why I've already run this Dolomites circuit three times (2004, 2014 and 2016). A tour and two magnificent waterfalls that you can also go behind 😍 This upper waterfall "Cascate Sbarco de Fanes" is a beauty when you stand at the bottom of the pool and look up. Anyone who already knows this waterfall knows it and can see that you can go behind the waterfall in the upper area. This is actually easily possible for those with a head for heights and the path is also secured with a rope. This is also the start of a short via ferrata Additional tip: If you came via the forest path, you should definitely take the way back along the stream. These two great third-party videos will help you assess the entire 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

In my opinion, the path to the metal stairs is only for people who are NOT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.
