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.

The Cascade de la Vogealle is an impressive waterfall in the Réserve nationale de Sixt-Passy, just below the Cirque de Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, with crystal-clear glacial water from the Lac de la Vogealle. Parking below the Circuit de fer Cheval costs €12 for the whole day.

A circus accessible to all, a peaceful hike at your own pace, a large green space. A feast for the eyes
