La Roche Fauconnière

Highlight • Viewpoint

The promontory offers a sublime panorama of the Roche Fauconnière cirque. The site has been classified as a “sensitive natural area” since 1936. The 150 meter high cliff dominates the Semine valley and faces the Orvaz valley.

La voie du Tram" trail

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Trail in a very nice mossy undergrowth. No particular difficulty but you will of course encounter some roots and rocks on your way.

Valserine Gorges

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Very playful path in the undergrowth (you never really see the gorges). The first part is narrower and more technical, then the trail widens and becomes more rolling. Part of the mountain bike route n°15.

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

Highlight • 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.
