The Grande Cascade is one of the water curiosities that overlooks the spa town of Mont-Dore. It rises in the high plateaus of Durbise at an altitude of 1,450 meters to fall into an incredible cataract 32 meters high. It becomes the largest waterfall in Auvergne and, above all, a true natural monument.

At its feet, you can simply admire it from the wooden bridge that crosses the river or the rocks that outcrop it. The more adventurous can try the adventure at the back of the waterfall.

Impressive fall of 32m. The Grande Cascade is the highest waterfall in Auvergne and the views from the bottom or top of the waterfall are spectacular.

There are several waterfalls just before Le Mont-Dore. For example "La Grande Cascade", one of the highest in Auvergne, whose waters plunge thirty meters down. A tour leads around the waterfalls Cascade du Queureuilh and Cascade du Rosignolet.
