Niel Waterfall

This short hike leads to the Niel stream waterfall, which is also visible from the village.
The trail goes up through a shaded forest, with some steep sections, though protective railings are provided in the more exposed areas.
The path is steep and should be navigated carefully on the descent.
It is also possible to start directly from the village by following the main road.

From the Pont-Saint-Martin motorway exit, turn right toward Turin. At the second roundabout, turn left toward Gressoney.
After a few hundred meters, take the road on the right into the Valle del Lys, passing through Lillianes, Fontainemore, Issime, and reaching the village of Gaby.
Just past the village square, before the bridge over the Niel stream, turn right, and shortly after, near the municipal building, turn right again.
Continue uphill until reaching the end of the road at Pianatz.

From the car park, take the trail above the road near the fountain.
The path ascends through the forest, then crosses to the left, high above the stream, until reaching the viewpoint of the waterfall, where two wooden tables are available for a possible break. From here, it is possible, with caution, to descend a steep gully that leads to the stream directly beneath the waterfall.
Return follows the same route.
