In the year 1779, Goethe wrote: "There we were at last, facing the waterfall which surely deserves greater fame than many on this earth. High above us, the waters spouted from a crack in the rocks, bursting like flames into a basin, whence they moved onward, fumes of misty haze and flaky foam riding on the winds...We climbed all about, and sat by the waters with a yearning deep within, wishing to remain for hours, nay days of our lives in this place of enchantment."

The Trient river, which rose from the glacier of the same name, gouged the 200 metre-deep gorge in the rocks. The impressive, 114 metre-high "Pissevache" waterfall is also worth a visit.
