"Located in Val Bregaglia, an alpine valley that connects northern Italy and Switzerland, Acquafraggia is famous for its dramatic double falls. The twin cascades are visible from the hamlet of Borgonuovo and are a popular stop for those driving through Valchiavenna on the way to or from St. Moritz, Switzerland. An easy 10-minute walk from the parking lot will bring you to the base of the falls, but there are a few longer trails, including a circular panoramic path and a 2.3-mile out-and-back trail that connects to the nearby village of Savogno. During the summer months, many families picnic beside the falls, and a seasonal pop-up bar offers local food, wine, and post-hike Aperol spritzes." - Travel + Leisure Editors
Did this hike with my friends and although I did find it challenging at points with regular breaks it’s not only very doable but simply beautiful (keep in mind I hadn’t hiked in years at that point). Lovely views and even a spot for a swim right at the top for those who are brave enough to face the chilly waters!

Beautiful place with a stunning waterfall!
The view of the waterfall from a distance is special, and it becomes even more breathtaking as you get closer.
It’s a tall waterfall, and when you approach it, you can feel the refreshing mist from the falling water.
There is parking available very close to the waterfall, which makes access easy and convenient.
Overall, a truly beautiful spot worth visiting.

every time I visit chiavenna I always pass by the cascate. they’re so beautiful in winter or summer. recently I’ve been doing some of the hikes that you can find behind the waterfall which continue up alongside it and let me say it’s definitely worth it. you can find many pools near the summit for a quick dip in summer and in winter the serenity is amazing and the running water is a great soundtrack to accompany your hike. recommended 10/10 experience. brought my friends from australia with me the most recent time I did the hike and they also loved it. we swam in the spot in the second photo but beware even in peak summer the water is freezing (worth it though)

Magnificent high waterfall. You can walk directly up to the waterfall but before you should take off your clothes unless you are completely wet. It's possible to swim in the river. There is a huge paid parking nearby.
