Hiking

This splendid hike of almost 15 kilometers takes you along the Valserine. This river is as if alive as it takes different forms. Sometimes impetuous, sometimes peaceful, its flow when it rushes into bottomless chasms leaves no stone unturned. It can also be calmer and more bucolic when it enters…

Pertes de la Valserine

Highlight • Waterfall

La Valserine has carved gorges into the limestone rock and bears witness to the power of nature. Potholes and deep ravines were carved into the rock until the river disappeared into a quagmire.

Stone Bridge

From this bridge, you have an absolutely incredible view overlooking the Valserine gorges. If you are prone to vertigo, do not go near the edge.

Valserine Valley

Highlight • River

The river has regained its tranquility here, its course is more peaceful. It is the colors of the water that change. This phenomenon is just as fascinating as the rapids seen previously.

October 31, 2024,La Vallée de la Valserine

Magnificent hike, rivers, waterfalls, forest, very pleasant undergrowth, not too physical route, but in the fall, wet, muddy paths, roots, slippery trails with leaves on the ground, bring good shoes, but the loop is superb! Very exotic, we imagine a little Canadian landscapes, with the beautiful colors of autumn. Not to be missed.
