Les Demoiselles de la Saussaz

Description

Round a bend in the path, past the second footbridge, you'll come to them... those funny columns topped with hats. They are the Demoiselles de la Saussaz! Also known as fairy chimneys, they often give rise to legends...
Fairy chimneys are natural rock columns. These columns, with their sometimes strange and evocative shapes (giving rise to numerous legends), are created by various erosion phenomena, and can reach several dozen meters in height.

Along the way, you'll come across some curious wooden creatures. They are the work of sculptor Sébastien Bizel-Bizzelot, who lives nearby. Take a look at the window of his workshop "Les roses de bois" on your way out...

And not far from these fairy chimneys flows the Saussaz torrent, with its many bathing spots. On the way back from your walk, you can stop at the edge of this torrent, next to the climbing school.
