Pissieu waterfall forms just downstream from a source into which most of the rainwater and snow-melt drains into off the Margériaz Plateau. It is created from a karst resurgence of water from the so-called "Vauclusian source";

Beneath the entrance to the source, a submerged underground network plummets to a depth of 50 metres before making its way back up towards the Margériaz Plateau.

Up to now, 79km of underground networks have been identified under the Margériaz Plateau, including the 'Tanne du Cochon' network, which has an elevation difference of 825 metres between its starting point on the plateau and its resurgence at Le Pissieu.

The waterfall is accessible all year round. The site is particularly spectacular after heavy rains or when the snow melts.

The waterfall is accessible from several starting points. From the nearest parking lot (Pissieu Waterfall parking lot), allow a 30-minute walk to the waterfall (and the same to return).
