Valle dei Progni di Fumane — Attraction in Fumane

MUST READ BEFORE HIKING HERE:

We simply wanted to have a short nice hike to enjoy the beautiful nature here: a big, impressive and mysterious forest with a river, waterfalls, rocks and the pure sound of nature.

If that's what you're also looking for keep reading because it's a PERFECT place.

There are several paths and routes to choose from, so try checking the map and table attached here for more info.

The beginning of the hike is a few meters from the nearby restaurant. There is free dirt parking in front of it. The inside parking is for customers only.

The route we did is just a short part (the beginning) of a longer, harder "out-and-back" hike - we simply followed the path "238" up the river stream up to a certain point (see below).

It took us a total of 1.20 hours including lots of photos, and a 10 min break.

It's considered dangerous and for experienced hikers because there are metal bars and chains you need to use in order to support, balance or pull yourself up or along the way.

Because we did the hike at the end of October and the ground/rocks were wet and slippery, we reached a point that became a bit too dangerous to do.

That point is just when you can see the Tibetan bridge from below and in front of you see a waterfall with a boulder inside it. Check the video here which shows exactly where it is.

On the right rock wall you'll see the metal line, which we decided not to use and simply turned around and went back.

Please use cautious and good common sense when you evaluate the conditions - if you feel it might be dangerous, go back. The hike up to this point is breathtaking enough so don't have FOMO 😉

Use good waking/hiking shoes. Better tall ones that are water proof because there is a lot of water around and near you (you need to cross the river by jumping on rocks). You can also do it with sports shoes but they might get wet, dirty etc.

If you find a wooden stick that can be used as a walking pole, feel free to leave it behind for other hikers once you finish 🙏

The path was very clean so please keep it like that and bring a trash bag to collect your own trash (or trash you see other people left).

There is no reception once you go up the river so make sure you have all you need before starting.

Don't bring dogs or little kids - it's not for them (or at least not all the way).

Older children or teens might be more capable handeling the challenges of the hike...

Posto a dir poco stupendo, natura, verde…peccato per le solite cicche di sigarette lasciate a terra (soliti 🐷) e poi, nonostante all’ingresso c’è un cartello che invita di tenere i cani con museruola e guinzaglio… c’è gente che cammina coi cani sciolti, comprese quelle razze dichiarate AGGRESSIVE. Ma nessuno...

mentre fuori dalla valle c'erano 35 gradi , mano a mano che ci si addentrava verso fumane e poi verso il progno la temperatura è scesa di ben 5 gradi. paesaggio fantastico con ferrate ,non per tutti, ma il primo tratto si può fare tranquillamente. per l'auto c'è un...
