Short rappel canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From Annecy on the N 508 along the southwest shore of Lac d'Annecy to Faverges(25 km), continue on the D 12 in the direction of Col de Tamie, past Vercheres (27 km) to the hamlet of Frontenex (about 29 km from Annecy). After the last houses, cross the stream, turn left after the bridge and park the car here.

Approach (2 min): machine translated ➜

From the parking lot directly into the stream.

Tour (45 min): machine translated ➜

Short and attractive, combine well with Angon, Fontaine Fayard, Nant de Graz, Mine or Montmin.

Return (15 min): no translation available

Nur wenige Meter, nachdem sich der Einschnitt weitet, zieht links eine Trampelspur steil hinauf, teilw. mit Seilen gesichert. Oben geht es dann am Schluchtrand auf einer Wiese hinauf zur Fahrstraße und zum Auto.

Stands ok. Still enough water flow, where other canyons already weaken in this regard. On the way back only at the beginning over the meadow, then directly on the edge of the canyon through the forest.
