The Fier is one of the most important rivers in the Haute-Savoie region.Just 10 km from Annecy, the river has carved out one of the most magnificent examples of erosion by running water,
the Gorges du Fier, considered to be one of the natural wonders of the Alps.
Les Passerelles The gorges have been accessible to the public since 1869 via a footbridge 252 m long, suspended 25 m above the river.
Venture deep into the giant gorge with the River Fier flowing at its base, and stop to admire the boulders stacked up high in all their shapes and forms. The play of light and shadow makes extraordinary faces appear along the length of the rock face...
Discover a multitude of Giants’ Kettles carved out by the river over thousands of years.
Halfway along the footbridge, a measuring scale on the rock face indicates the water levels reached in times of flood.
