General description
The Partschinser waterfall is one of the most impressive in the Alps. Its masses of water shoot far out over a freestanding rock face and then plunge thunderously into the depths like a cloudburst! The height of the fall is 97 m. The waterfall is most powerful at the time of snowmelt (May to June) or after heavy rainfall (water flow 4,000 to 10,000 litres per second).
