Parco Grotta Cascata Varone
About
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tenno, just 3 kilometres from Riva del Garda, Parco Grotta Cascata Varone is a privately‑owned natural park that offers visitors a dramatic waterfall and two spectacular observation points: the Lower Cave, where you can watch the water cresting in dramatic splashes, and the Upper Cave, a 40‑metre‑higher viewpoint that reveals the full fury of the Varone cascade. Since its opening in 1874, the park has combined rugged geology with well‑maintained paths, bridges, and viewing platforms to make the wonder accessible to all ages. Visitors can wander the esthetic gorge, enjoy a picnic on the spacious open‑air area, or try the free shuttle bus that transports guests right to the entrance. Although the walk is paved, wheelchairs are not accommodated, making it ideal for families, nature lovers and adventure seekers. A short contemplative walk—about 20 minutes—enough to fully appreciate the 98‑metre drop and the surrounding pine‑lined canyon makes the park a must‑visit for anyone exploring the scenic Lake Garda region.
