The Serio Falls (Italian: Cascate del Serio; Lombard: i Cascàde del Sère) are the tallest waterfall in Italy, and the second tallest waterfall in Europe.[1]
They are located 100 km north of Milan, 50 km from Bergamo, near the village of Valbondione, in the Bergamo Alps (Italian: Alpi Orobie) upper Valle Seriana, Province of Bergamo, in the alpine Lombardy region of Northern Italy.[2] Located at 1751m MAMSL, the falls are composed of three main steps, respectively 166, 74 and 75 metres tall; taken together the falls have a drop of 315 m (more than 1000 ft). The falls are formed by the Serio River, at a short distance from its source in the Bergamo Alps (Alpi Orobie).[3]
The falls are served by Bergamo Orio Al Serio airport (60 km), Milan-Linate (102 km) and Milan-Malpensa (145 km).
The falls were used as a film location of the 2017 movie Call Me By Your Name by Luca Guadagnino.[4]
