    Hiking

    These dizzying gorges are the starting point for hikes to the lake of the same name.
    The gorges can be explored on foot, via walkways and ledges dug in 1943 to serve the construction site during the drilling of the tunnel that collected water from the Carança River for the Thuès hydroelectric power plant.

    Hiking

    Very nice fun hike to do in 3 hours!
    I recommend going clockwise: the outward journey being steeper and the return journey more comfortable over the ledges.
    For the return you can take, at the level of the bridge, the path of roc malrieu which runs along the torrent with the possibility of swimming there.
