Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Cascate di Nardis (Nardis Waterfalls) seemed to be pretty well-known waterfalls as we became aware of it prior to our Italy trip through our DK guidebook as well as a visitor’s waterfall submission on our website. We suspect that its location within Val Genova might have also contributed to its notoriety as it was the feature waterfall in a valley that was also known as Italy’s version of the Valley of Waterfalls. Indeed, from looking at the maps, there were several significant waterfalls that could be found in this valley, and we even managed to visit another waterfall in addition to Nardis during our brief visit to Val Genova.

The Nardis Waterfalls were said to have an overall height of 130m over a non-vertical cliff said to be around 65 degrees in slope. The waterfall appeared as a pair of segmented drops side-by-side, which added to its scenic allure. Although we tended to think of this as a singular waterfall, the double-barreled characteristic was probably why people generally use the plural form of the Italian word cascata when referring to it by name.

This was one of the easier waterfalls for us to visit (though this statement may have a caveat, which we’ll explain in the directions below). That was because we were literally able to park in a lot that was directly in front of the falls. Even though it appeared that they used to allow visitors to go right to the base of the falls, we suspect that unstable cliffs and the potential for rockfalls caused the authorities to close off the short trails to get closer. Thus, it was pretty much a waterfall that we could just gawk at while possibly having a cuppa at the cafe across the river.
