The Pontet has eaten away at the limestone for many years, forming water points over a few hundred meters, including three successive waterfalls.
The first waterfall, above the Sécheron bridge, is a 7 meter high slope where the water gains speed in two successive jumps.
The second waterfall, under the same bridge, is a powerful cataract 6 m high which plunges into the void via an immense staircase above a small cave.
The third waterfall is the most impressive and the most difficult to reach. This 30 m high waterfall is located in a narrow gorge carved into a steep rock face. It can be visited from a wooden bridge.

The pools dug into the rock are particularly impressive. They were probably used for bathing in the past.

Very nice waterfall, hidden just under the road. Easily accessible in 5 minutes!
