Description

A lovely walk mostly through the trees, perfect for a hot summer's day. Water is a constant theme, as you discover the waterfall, the bubbling "giants' cooking pots" and the views overlooking Lac d'Annecy.
This family hike takes you to one of the many natural sites to discover around Lake Annecy: the Cascade d'Angon. Walkers of all ages can enjoy the pleasant experience of cooling off with droplets from the 60-metre-high waterfalls. The route follows the torrents coming directly from La Tournette, creating characteristic eddies as they carve through the rock on their way down. These are the famous "Marmites de Géant" (Giant's potholes) which, like the bridge over the Nant d'Oy (Pont des Fées) supposedly built by fairies in the past, are sure to arouse the curiosity of little ones along the way. For their part, the older children will be able to admire a number of beautiful viewpoints over the lake, La Tournette and the Dents de Lanfon.
