Start of the Carança Gorge Trail

Highlight • Trail

Signposted parking lot right at the entrance to the gorge. In summer you have to pay and it's probably still full. At the end of September the parking machines were taped up.
The kiosk was still open.
Separate parking spaces for campers.

Carança Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

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.
