La thuile Ruitor lakes and waterfalls
Natural Wonders
In the picturesque landscape of La Thuile, in the Aosta Valley, are the Rutor Falls, a true natural jewel that attracts thousands of visitors each year.
These waterfalls are among the most impressive and fascinating in the entire region, offering a spectacle of unspoiled wilderness that manifests itself through three majestic jumps of water.
Origin and Characteristics of Rutor Falls Rutor Falls originate from the stream of the same name, fed by the melting of the Rutor Glacier.
This glacier, located at an elevation of 3,486 meters, is one of the main sources of the stream, and its slow melting during the summer months provides a steady flow that gives rise to the waterfalls.
The water’s path ends with three spectacular jumps, which together create a panorama of rare beauty and power.

This trail offers not only views of the falls but also the opportunity to immerse oneself in an exceptional alpine environment, with flora and fauna typical of the mountainous region.
