Lillaz Waterfalls
Cascate di Lillaz
A three-tier waterfall about 150 meters high near Cogne, reached by a short walk from Lillaz village. It is the easiest classic trail in the Gran Paradiso area.
The Lillaz Waterfalls consist of three cascades with a total drop of about 150 meters, in the small village of Lillaz about 3 km east of Cogne. From the village parking lot, a path climbs about 15 to 20 minutes to the first viewpoint. Continuing upward reveals the two falls above. The whole walk takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and is suitable for older people and children. Along the trail there are geology signs and wildflowers. Admission is free. The water is most spectacular in June and July during the snowmelt season, and in winter the falls freeze into an ice-climbing venue. Visitors can walk along the river from Cogne or take the summer shuttle bus.
