Cascata del Vael, Fassa
Veneto
The Cascata del Vael above Vigo di Fassa falls 40 m from the Catinaccio (Rosengarten) massif — the stream descends from the high red rock walls through larch forest. The Catinaccio (3,002 m) turns red at sunset (the 'Alpenglühen' that inspired the King Laurin legend). Dipper on the stream. The larch forest below has nutcracker and spotted woodpecker. Dogs welcome.
