The Acquafraggia waterfalls visible in Piuro, a few kilometers outside the city of Chiavenna, originate from the stream that gives them their name, which rises at more than 3000 meters above sea level. Upstream this stream creates a lake, and as it descends it makes real leaps, giving rise to the evocative waterfalls that we can admire. Its name comes precisely from this phenomenon, from the Latin term “acqua fracta,” meaning water broken by the falls.
From this place several hiking trails start, allowing you to admire not only the evocative waterfalls of this watercourse up close along with the surrounding unspoiled nature, but also leading to panoramic points where you have an excellent view over the entire Valchiavenna valley.
