Morette Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall, a few minutes walk from the nearest parking lot.
Do the 2.7km loop! It's worth it!
It's accessible even with young children, with a little help (especially if it has rained in the last few days).

Abri sous roche

Highlight • Other

People settled here under the rock shelter approximately 5,000 years ago. The excavation site is cordoned off and can only be viewed through the fence. Along the trail, there are signs explaining the people of that time.

June 12, 2025,🇫🇷 Cascade de Morette

The first attraction of our excursion today was the Morette Waterfall and the path along the cliffs, offering magnificent views of the mountains.

People and their animals settled below the cliff overhangs about 5,000 years ago. There are information signs and an excavation site.

June 12, 2025,🇫🇷 La Balme-De-Thuy cascade de Morette

A short but truly varied hike. You'll spend a lot of time in the shade when it's hot, and you'll also partially walk along the river and the waterfall. Right next to the waterfall is a prehistoric archaeological site, surrounded by a fence. The overhanging rocks once served as shelter for animals.

Small hike done with the family. You have to help the children a little here and there. (it was quite wet and slippery in places). But we enjoyed superb landscapes and impressive waterfalls!
