Following the Mortic trail from Pian de Frataces, you can admire a very rare phenomenon: a waterfall on a basalt wall characterized by a series of suggestive and spectacular columns.
The most original aspect of the Antermont River waterfall in the Pian de Frataces locality along the Mortic path is, more than in the waterfall itself, in the particular rock that hosts it: a basalt step of volcanic origin, attributable to the Middle Triassic, which has a very original fissure. The result? Suggestive and spectacular columns. Although basalt is a common volcanic rock in the Fassa Valley, a columnar outcrop is a real rarity. The columns of Pian de Frataces are, however, anomalous: in addition to being vertical, some are also arranged horizontally and transversely. For this reason, the Canazei site is considered an Environmental Asset subject to protection by the Autonomous Province of Trento. A miracle of nature that has few examples in Italy and in the world.
