Foroglio Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Faroglio waterfall is one of the most spectacular in the entire Bavona valley. Here the water makes a leap of 110 metres.

We haven't stopped here, but the rustic Grotto La Froda restaurant right next to the bridge over the river bed of the Calnegia is an eye-catcher with a wonderful ambience and is well frequented. The restaurant is located in a world of stones, water and wood, in a vertical alpine valley that is only inhabited during the favorable season, without electricity and where new buildings are prohibited.

Foroglio village and waterfall

Highlight • Settlement

Foroglio is here called representative of the many small villages and farms that line the trail in Val Bavona. Nowadays they all look very picturesque in the wildly romantic and impressive mountain framing. Many houses have been converted into chalets, in former times the living conditions in the valley were extremely hard and it was only temporarily settled permanently.

In Foroglio there is a little tourist infrastructure because of the picturesque scenery in front of the waterfall. And the restaurant La Froda really needs no advertising, too nice sitting on the terrace, not to mention the food ... lafroda.ch/de

Ascent next to the waterfall

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Spectacular ancient stairs. The water of Calnegia plunges 110 meters into the depths, where it feeds the Bavona in the village of Foroglio.

Calnegia Riverbed

Highlight • River

The power of the Calnegia river is not only felt at the waterfall, with a thunderous roar the water has already carved the rocks on its way to the waterfall.

Ascent to the waterfall

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For the climb, you should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights. There are anchored chains at two points where you can hold on.
Also bring a rain jacket so you can stay relatively dry even when you're close to the waterfall.
