3 waterfalls, 3 unmatched spectacles

The 3 Rutor waterfalls are among the most spectacular in the Valle d'Aosta and are generated from the stream, fed by numerous ponds places on the north-west of the Rutor (sixth glacier in Italy). To admire the beauty we can follow a path that the total time of one hour and twenty leads from La Joux (1,603 m), about 3 km from La Thuile, the third waterfall (1,996 m). It starts from the houses of La Joux, take the trail, which passes through pine forests, up to, after twenty minutes, the spectacular vantage point on the first waterfall, which is located at 1,700 m, we recommend a short detour to 'exciting step on the bridge over the waterfall and allows you to observe it from above. It goes into the woods to reach the hut Parcet (1,772 m), passing through a bucolic plain near the river, carry on up the path, paved in sections until the right turn to the second waterfall, at 1,850 m. A few bends again and in a very short time you can see on the right the third waterfall, near which there is a fork that offers everyone the opportunity to reach the Rifugio Deffeyes (2494 m) or deviate to the right in the direction of the Lakes Bellacomba, while the experienced climbers can climb on Rutor.
