Tour de la Marmite waterfalls

Description

The real attraction of this descent is the passage at the top of the C45 through the "trou de la marmite", the origin of the locality's name.
A few small cascades might be more interesting, if the basins at their feet weren't filled with stones.
We're dealing here with a stream whose flow is insignificant at low water and too great at high water to allow the descent.
There is always a period in winter when the ice-covered waterfall can be climbed with ice axes and crampons.
Difficulty: D1 - Ascent: 90 m - Length: 200 m - Descent time: 1h30
Escape possible at each difficulty.
Rope: 2 x 50m
