Beautiful and easy to access

fairly flat hike, except for the steep section at the end. To enjoy the waterfalls, do it the day after it rains!

a very beautiful via ferrata for everyone, without vertigo

Impressive waterfall of several meters in the Cirque du Fer à Cheval.

The Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval owes its name to the semicircular shape of its cliffs. Its impressive height (2,000 meters) gives rise to a multitude of waterfalls, the number of which varies depending on the season. It is very easy to access. Twin to the Pyrenean Gavarnie, it is the most visited and best-known site in Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval. Surrounding the eastern slope of the Giffre Valley, it is an immense limestone amphitheater 4 to 5 km long, whose steep cliffs can reach 2,000 m in height. It is the largest Alpine cirque, dominated by the Corne du Chamois. It rests on the steep slopes of the Tenneverge (2,985 m). In June, more than thirty waterfalls gush from its walls.

It's best to go early in the morning because it's crowded in the afternoon.

From here, you can go back down the other side or continue up to the top of the lake. Be careful, the path back is very dangerous if you're afraid of heights and don't wear proper footwear. It's a very steep descent; there are wire ropes on the rock faces, but not everywhere. And you'll be walking over rocks where you can't immediately see where the trail leads. It's best to go back the way you came.
