Description

A short stroll from Fontcouverte, the Fontcouverte waterfall is a must-see in the upper Clarée valley, ideal for a family picnic or after a hike. Accessible to all ages.

The Fontcouverte waterfall walk can be done from different starting points, depending on your level and desired walking time.

Here, the shortest route is directly from the hamlet of Fontcouverte:

Park in the Fontcouverte parking lot (opposite the campsite), then head for the Auberge de la Fruitière.

Just in front of it, a sign points to the waterfall: take the small path on the left, which descends slightly along the river to the waterfall, just 300m away.
