Cascata della Buffalora
Cascata della Buffalora is a nice waterfall with a total height of 140 meter located near Soazza/Mesocco, along road 13, in the region Graubünden, Switzerland.
From Chur take road 13 south to Bellinzona. Take exit 36 Mesocco-Sud and take the paralel road to Soaza. A little further then Soazza you can see Cascata della Buffalora dropping down over a hundred meter at the right side. There is a small parking in front of the waterfall at Ristorante Buffalora (gps 46.348407, 9.215089).
Cascata della Buffalora can be quite powerful. When there is enough water in the river then it is an enormous impressive waterfall.
When I was visiting the waterfall July 2021 I was quite impressed by the beauty of this powerful waterfall. The sun was shining and the surrounding is gorgeous and the restaurant very cosy. Unfortunately I was there in the afternoon, just when the sun was just above the waterfall…. Very difficult to take good photo’s in this situation. Nevertheless I good take some nice pictures standing in the shadow of the trees.
I wanted to check out Cascata della Buffalora more but didn’t know how? There is no path that runs to the base but the views from the restaurant where are already amazing! Nice place for a lunch or diner.
This is not Graubünden, but Canton of Ticino (Tessin), as it is south of San Bernardino.
The road was interrupted on June 21, 2024 due to damage caused by storms and closed for approx. 1 month.
I saw it on the news. I was planning to go to Ticino this summer but I don’t know what road to take. But there is still time to decide. Thnx for mentioning it.
Sorry, I have to correct myself. This is in fact Graubünden, as the Graubünden-Ticino-Border is in the south between Roveredo and Bellinzona.
No problem, I am glad people check all facts!
