One of the most beautiful waterfalls in the region. Even if that day she was not too wet....The clear and fresh water of the Arena brings a little freshness!

Anyone who likes to push/carry their eBike up the steepest paths when it starts to rain over muddy, slippery roots, coarse, moss-covered stones and fallen tree trunks will find the perfect tour here. The increase can be found in taking a three-year-old daughter in a child seat. Seriously: The tour is really beautiful, almost a fairytale forest. But by no means advisable with the eBike. Highly recommended as a hiking trail!

The pass, located at an altitude of 1,050 meters, offers you a magnificent view of the Alps and the Rhône valley. Like most of the peaks in this region, it sometimes allows you to see Mont Blanc.
