The term Ilhéou comes from the Gascon to designate the gap. And judging from the location of the lake, its name is easily understood. Indeed, Lake Ilhéou is nestled in the hollow of a massif and surrounded by a string of peaks that tease the 3,000 meters.

View of Ilhéou Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The waters of the Ilhéou waterfall come from underground emanations and flow into the void through a hole naturally dug in the cliff. The surroundings of the waterfall are overhanging its point of fall. From a distance, it gives the impression that the waters return directly underground, to the heart of the mountain.
Be careful when approaching, the access is a little steep on both sides of the gave.
