Introduction

Series of waterfalls, nice to do in late spring during snowmelt. Unfortunately there are always walking sections in between.

Descent

It starts with a 4 abseils long mini canyon, then 100m of altitude in open waterfalls. Afterwards the waterflow practically doubles, but it is not a problem as the riverbed is always large enough. At the end awaits a nice 45m Fall, where the waterjet is thrown several meters away from the rock, very impressive (but probably only during snow melting time).

Note that the 2 Waterfalls before the last big one were not equipped, but can be avoided quite easily.

Nice ending of the day

Exit

Stop at 1620m of altitude and walk up again to the car.
