Introduce your children to a geosite? In other words, get your feet wet at the Pissieu waterfall! It's a great way to learn while having fun, and enjoy the coolness of the site...
At the start, we calmly take the wide track on the edge of the forest, accompanied by the song of the stream.
After a while, we hear a noise. It's just a dull rumble in the distance. Growing louder.
Then it's the fresh spray on our faces that lets us know it's just around the corner. And there it is, the cascade du Pissieu!
All the water from the Margeriaz plateau rushes here through a gigantic underground network (79km known, including the tanne du Cochon, which descends 825 metres into the mountain!) and rushes over the rocks, precipitating the droplets into a cold, noisy cloud.
A refreshing sight, especially on a day after heavy rain. What fun it is to get as close to the waterfall as possible, hopping from rock to rock.
As you gain height, the route invites you under the protective shade of the trees. Alternating between balconies, it offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
The return journey is also cool, to the Châtelard lake. Why not finish the hike with a dip, at the Lescheraines lake on the way back ?
