With the name of "Cascata del Sole" is indicated the final stretch of the imposing waterfall that flows out of the Fontanon di Goriuda, in Val Raccolana. A simple path leads up to this large waterfall that appears in all its wild beauty, also enhanced by a mirror of crystal clear water where the water crashes down, creating, with the nebulization, ephemeral and evanescent figures that are always different and harmonious.

The Fontanone di Goriuda is a spectacular waterfall from which, after a tortuous path between waterfalls, meanders and siphons, emerge the waters that sink on the Italian side of Monte Canin, in Val Raccolana.

To reach the area where the waterfall is located, take the road that from the village of Chiusaforte climbs along the Val Raccolana towards Sella Nevea, until you reach the parking area that serves the Trattoria "Fontanon di Goriude" in Pian della Saw. Already from the road and from the parking lot it is impossible not to notice, on the right, the top part of the great waterfall that emerges from the overlying Fontanone di Goriuda.
