The Sales waterfall is in the middle of several hikes leading to... other waterfalls: that of the Savez and that of the Pleureuse. The setting is just amazing! Take a moment to hydrate and admire the scenery.

Buvette and restaurant on the outskirts of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, offering food and drinks in a beautiful alpine setting. A great place to have a coffee before a long mountain walk or a cold beer afterwards.
