A visit to Serio Falls, the highest in Italy
- Durata complessiva: 0:40
The Serio Falls consist of a triple waterfall of 166 m. of drop. The dam that releases the mass of water was completed in 1931. Before this human intervention, the water naturally flowed from the south side of the Barbellino plain. Barbellino hut is located at the source of Serio River in the heart of the Orobie Park. In close proximity to the hut, you find the “Natural Lake” with a color similar to the deep blue of the sky.
