Rouget Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Nicknamed the "Queen of the Alps", the Rouget waterfall is magnificent. It is nestled in a setting of rock and greenery.

90 meters high, its fall makes a sound that is both shattering and bewitching. Nature is here at its peak.

Giffre Gorges

Highlight • Gorge

The Giffre des Fonts is a tributary of the Giffre. Here you can admire the gorges it creates in the middle of the rocks, on a wooden bridge which brings even more charm to the setting.

Easy hiking which could alternatively be great for Mountain Bike. A lot of cascades and streams. Most of the hike is shaded in forest.
