Best Hikes to Waterfalls on the Nant du Pontet

Tips

  • 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!
