Faites un pas dans le passé, et rejoignez le hameau des Fontanettes et ses chalets typiques, à la lisière du domaine skiable.After the Barioz quarter, open the Bieux cell and the Fontanettes pass through the Rocher orientation table. of the Fraîche. Ce sentier se pratique dans les deux sens. Il est également possible de rejoindre le hameau des Fontanettes in taking advantage of the Edelweiss television, accessible on foot on the mountain as it descends.

In both summer and winter, just twenty minutes from the village, the La Fraîche waterfall is a natural wonder that you just have to see! In winter, the snow-covered approach trail may be icy.From the village center, head towards the Les Bieux neighborhood. The trailhead is located at a hairpin turn in the road, at the foot of the climbing crag. After walking for twenty minutes through the forest, you will come to a truly spectacular sight. Carved in the rock, the waterfall gushes in a roaring chaos of whitewater. Enjoy the cool sensation in summer as well as watching climbers as they make their way along the via ferrata, crossing the waterfall on a narrow suspended footbridge. We recommend continuing to the overlook on the opposite side to marvel at this local natural wonder. Several variations are possible – check the Pralorando hiking guidebook. Due to its aspect, we recommend a late-morning visit. In winter, snowshoes or crampons are highly recommended.
