Hike overview
At 70 meters high, the Bridal veil waterfall is one of the most impressive in Corsica. The viewpoint, located near the village of Bocognano, is accessible after a short 10- to 15-minute walk from the D27 road, in a peaceful, forested area. The waterfall owes its name to its elegant shape, which evokes a bridal veil spread out over the rocks.

Spring is the ideal time to fully enjoy the spectacle when the water flow is at its maximum. In the summer and fall, however, the waterfall can dry up completely or reduce to a mere trickle.
