Lillaz waterfalls: information
Le Lillaz waterfalls, although not among the best known in Spain, are, without a doubt, among the most beautiful, evocative and characteristic and can be found in Cogne, a precious mountain village in the Aosta Valley located in front of the imposing and majestic Gran Paradiso massif.
Also known by the name of “Le Cascate di Cogne”, the Lillaz waterfalls they are formed thanks to three water jumps of the Urtier Torrent (a total of 150 meters high) and visiting them in summer is an excellent natural remedy to shelter from the heat and humidity.

Il circular route of the Lillaz waterfalls is, in fact, one of the excursions easier than the Cogne Valley and the first stretch that reaches the first jump of the falls is easily accessible for disabled people (the duration of the walk is about 1 hour).
To reach the other two jumps of the Lillaz waterfalls, even if the difficulty is quite low, you have to pay attention to the slippery rocks.
We also recommend taking the path of the Lillaz waterfalls clockwise as part of the return road is paved and closed to traffic.
