Cascade du Pissieu

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).

Lake Châtelard is located in the heart of Bauges. Surrounded on one side by the forest and on the other by Chéran, you can revitalize in this timeless, peaceful, natural setting.Lake Châtelard is populated mainly by brown trout. A special regulation has been set up for fishing : no-kill for trout only. Fishing is allowed with 1 hook (single, double or triple) without a barb. Fly fishermen, your best time is in the early morning. Around 11 am, the wind rises and the water becomes unpredictable.

On the edge of the Chéran, these relatively stable stony banks are not simply outcrops: they reveal the glacial past of the Bauges, and have a lot to teach us.During the Ice Ages, when the bottoms of the valleys were covered in ice, deposits from the eroded mountain became blocked by the glacier, which prevented them from being carried downstream. Local glaciers or ice tongues overflowing from the Cols des Bauges caused the formation of these fluvio-glacial terraces to stack on top of each other, and we can see the traces of the heights of these glaciers. When the glaciers melted, the rivers easily carved through these deposits as they meandered through the valley. Often covered in vegetation, the structure of these terraces is clearly visible - the laminations and direction of the stone allow us to read the meaning of the paleo-currents. This beautiful Terrasse des Bauges is located at the start of the Balade du Pissieu, on the right bank of the Nant d'Aillon. Parking at the bridge over the Nant d'Aillon on the road linking Attilly to Villaret Rouge, the Châtelard lake or the car park at the Iles du Chéran leisure centre.
