Embark on the Fanes Waterfalls and Canyons Trail, a challenging hike that plunges you into the dramatic gorges carved by the Rio Fanes. You will discover a series of stunning pools and cascades, including the impressive 90-meter Cascata di Fanes. This difficult route spans 5.6 miles (9.1 km) with a substantial elevation gain of 1514 feet (461 metres), typically requiring about 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete.
Planning your visit is key for this adventure. The trailhead is easily accessible from the road connecting to Cortina d'Ampezzo. The best time to hike is generally from late May through early November, with spring and early summer offering the most spectacular water flow. It is important to avoid hiking during winter due to ice, or after heavy rainfall when surfaces can become very slippery.
What makes this trail truly unique is the opportunity to walk behind the Sbarco da Fanes waterfall, offering an immersive experience within the Ampezzo Dolomites. The route showcases an extraordinary sequence of natural water features, making it a standout within the Regional Natural Park of the Ampezzo Dolomites. It is a prime example of the powerful geological forces that have shaped this stunning region.
