Top 20 Waterfalls around Novate Mezzola

The Torrente Mello is the main watercourse that crosses the Val di Mello, one of the most suggestive valleys of Valtellina. This torrent originates from Monte Disgrazia and flows along the entire valley, fed by numerous streams and natural springs from the surrounding mountains. The Torrente Mello is characterized by crystalline waters that flow between the imposing granite rocks and the lush vegetation, creating natural scenery of rare beauty. Along its course, the torrent feeds several lakes, such as the Laghetto del Qualido, and also feeds numerous waterfalls and pools, which make the valley even more fascinating and appreciated by hikers. The path of the Torrente Mello is clearly visible along the paths that start from the village of San Martino, which is the main starting point for exploring the valley. The path that follows the course of the torrent allows you to enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding nature and access places of great naturalistic interest, making it an ideal destination for lovers of trekking and photography.

The Acquafraggia waterfalls (or Acqua Fraggia) are located in Borgonuovo and the parts visible from the road are the most suggestive, but not the only ones. The Acquafraggia basin is located at the western entrance to the Val Bregaglia. The stream of the same name originates from Pizzo di Lago at 3,050 meters above sea level, in an Alpine watershed from which rivers descend and flow into the North Sea, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Descending towards the valley floor, the stream runs through two suspended valleys, both of glacial origin, one at an altitude of two thousand and the other at a thousand meters above sea level. During its course, the Acquafraggia stream forms a series of waterfalls. These, the ones further down, are the most suggestive thanks to their double jump. In fact, the name Acquafraggia comes from the Latin "aqua fracta", indicating a stream continuously interrupted by waterfalls.
