Via ferrata Walserfall in Croveo
(Hamlet of Baceno)
To the north of the village of Croveo, on the hydrographic left, along the road that leads to Alpe Devero, rises the via ferrata Walserfall.
It develops along the rocky wall that runs along the Agaro Waterfall, until reaching Piodacalva, a small nucleus of huts placed on a large and panoramic rocky balcony. The name of the street, is a play on words that combines the terms “Walser” and “Wasserfall” (waterfall) and highlights its position in the land of Walser people.
