5 waterfalls to discover<\/h2>\n \n

Here is a glimpse of the five must-see waterfalls you can explore during your hike at the Sources du lac d’Annecy. For more practical information, click on the routes below.<\/p>\n

Cascade de Fontany<\/strong>
\nVisible year-round, this waterfall is particularly impressive in spring when its flow is at its peak. Perfect for a quick refreshing dip, it is accessible after a 30-minute descent and 600 meters of walking. A detour along the left trail will bring you closer to the waterfall for a refreshing moment.<\/p>\n

Cascade de Nanceau<\/strong>
\nAnother waterfall accessible year-round, but it can be more modest during dry periods. To reach it, you’ll need to walk for about 50 minutes (1.4 km and 100 meters of elevation gain). You can also take the “Balcons de Lathuile” walk, a refreshing route that passes this beautiful waterfall.<\/p>\n

Cascade de la Mine<\/strong>
\nVisible year-round, this waterfall reveals its full splendor between March and July. A shaded trail following the water takes you in 50 minutes and 1.3 km to the waterfall, with lovely pools to admire along the way. A gradual ascent leads you to the waterfall, and you\u2019ll return the same way.<\/p>\n

Cascade du Creux de l’Enfer<\/strong>
\nFed by snowmelt, this waterfall is at its best in spring. Accessible after a one-hour walk, with an elevation gain of 180 meters and 1.8 km in distance, it unveils itself through a winding trail offering spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Take the time to explore this exceptional site before returning by the same route.<\/p>\n

Grotte et Cascade de Seythenex<\/strong>
\nFinally, the Seythenex waterfall, with its 45-meter height, provides an impressive spectacle. To be visited during the opening times of this paid site, you can explore both the cave and the waterfall for a unique experience.<\/p>\n

These five waterfalls, each with their own characteristics, offer the chance to discover stunning landscapes while immersing yourself in the preserved nature of the Sources du lac d’Annecy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n
