These gorges are particularly fascinating when the water flow is significant. My recommendation is to come and admire this jewel of Ain in spring, when the snow melts.

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.

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.

Discover a surprising view of the Rhône gorges! This viewpoint is in fact the ancient site of the town of Léaz until the end of the 16th century.
