라 툴레‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 폭포

Trail no. 3 Difficulty: E (bit.ly/CLASSIFICAZIONE_CAI) One of the most beautiful and famous trails in our area. Start from La Joux and follow trail no. 3. The first waterfall can be reached in a quarter of an hour, while to see the second (1850 m) and the third waterfall (2000 m) it takes about 1 hour of walking from the first. To admire them in all their splendor you have to make two short detours to the right. Then you return to the main trail, and continue towards Lac du Glacier (2143 m) and take the trail on the left that leads to the Deffeyes refuge where you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Rutor glacier and the entire La Thuile valley.

Very beautiful, unlike the first waterfall easily reachable you have to walk a little more. Be careful on the path that is wet because of the water of the waterfalls

The first waterfall is the easiest to reach and is located about 20 minutes from the start. Although it is the easiest to reach, you need to be careful because, being wet, you could slip, so remember suitable shoes and be careful.

From this bucolic plateau near the stream you can refresh yourself and indulge in some photography. At the third Rutor waterfall, a steel bridge approximately 16 meters long and 1.20 meters wide, inaugurated in 2014, allows everyone to pass from one side to the other enjoying the extraordinary spectacle of the three waterfalls below. From this point you can descend to La Joux following the path on the other orographic bank or choose to go up to the Deffeyes Refuge (2,494 metres) right at the foot of the Rutor glacier, a very beautiful excursion especially for children. Another option is to veer right after the waterfalls following the direction of the glacial lakes of Bella Comba.

The three Rutor waterfalls are part of the country's history and are shrouded in myths and legends. Daughters of the lakes fed by the Rutor glacier, the wonderful waterfalls that can be visited in summer are three impetuous waterfalls that throw themselves into gorges and precipices, carving out the rock with all the power of the melting water. Starting from the hamlet of La Joux at 1,603 meters above sea level and located just three kilometers from the town of La Thuile, you can reach the first of the three with a beautiful path up to the third waterfall which is located at 1,996 metres. The first observation point is found shortly after passing the farmhouses of La Joux, along a mule track that passes through coniferous woods. The first waterfall is surprising: the emotion of the rainbow and the force of the water arouse incredible sensations.

The climb via the Anery is very difficult, steps, roots and stones make the route which is very steep, to be avoided in rainy weather, very slippery path and risk of stream formation as the path is dug by falling rain .

The Pont Romain is an ancient Roman bridge that crosses the Bon Nant stream, a tributary of the Arve River. The bridge is a remarkable feat of engineering, and it has stood for centuries despite the passage of torrential water. The bridge is also home to a series of small waterfalls, which are carved into the rock by the water.
