Laghetti del Barbaira, Rocchetta Nervina
Liguria
The Barbaira torrent tumbles through a series of deep green rock pools linked by two humpbacked medieval bridges just upstream of Rocchetta Nervina. A short path follows the water past the best pools — a hugely popular summer swimming spot — and canyoning routes head up the gorge above.
