One of the hikes to do without a doubt, it is grandiose and splendid, you constantly have to stop to admire what you see.

June 20, 2025,Randonnée autour du cirque de six Fer à cheval

What can be said about the Cirque de Six Fer à Cheval with the so-called "End of the World" at the bottom of the valley, except that it's magnificent.
The 8 waterfalls of the cirque and the three large waterfalls at the end of the world.
The best thing would be to stop by the "Buvette du Boret" where you …

The climb to Chalet de Boret is strenuous, but the beautiful views make up for it, and the break at the idyllic chalet is not to be missed.
This tour should not be done in the opposite direction, as the descent from the chalet is not easy.

A splendid hike, the cirque, the waterfalls and the end of the world of course, but I especially appreciated the climb to the chalet by well-established paths, with empty passages with the hands, in short, unforgettable.

Curtain up for the most beautiful arena I know:

Cirque du Fer de Cheval - the "Circus Horseshoe" invites you to the performance and at least !!! 25 waterfalls have come to enchant us until after 2 hours at "Le Bout du Monde" / the end of the world we can't remember how much we counted and admired.

August 13, 2023,RD: Sixt Fer-à-Cheval

A perfect day, night in the bus at the charming little Pelly campsite, from where you can access the site on foot to stroll through the Sixt-Passy nature reserve, with the sumptuous Cirque de Fer-à-Cheval. An absolutely magnificent corner and... very very busy, it is better to choose your hours if you prefer to avoid the crowds. But the light …

July 26, 2022,Sixt fer à cheval

Start on a gentle slope then a steep climb.
Lots of people in July but if you continue to the first refuge, it is a little less crowded.
For the second refuge, go to the right from the first refuge.
Go back down the same path after having tasted a blueberry pie and a blueberry beer then on reaching the …
