The Sorne has dug itself deep into the rocks and today roars between almost vertical walls through the wildly romantic gorge. Numerous springs flow into the Gorges du Pichoux. Are there actually 1,000 sources, as the name “Pichoux” translates to? At the end of the gorge, Lac Vert shines like an emerald in the most wonderful shades of green - a fantastic place for your picnic. The Gorges du Pichoux is located on the road between Bellelay and Undervelier. By public transport or by car go to Sornetan, Le Pichoux.

Hiking

At the beginning the hiking trail leads over the road through the gorge. After the first tunnel, descend on the right and follow the path to Lac Vert. The nature down here is beautiful and interspersed with small streams and waterfalls.

The descent to the river is only behind the tunnel
