Cirque of Saint Même

Waterfall, Spring, Mountain, Natural wonder in Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont

  • The Cirque de Saint-Même, in the heart of the Chartreuse Regional Park, is truly a place of outstanding natural beauty.

    An underground spring, the source of the River Guiers Vif , ensures a constant flow of water to the falls (from top to bottom: Cascade des Sources, Grande Cascade, Cascade Isolée, Pisse du Guiers).
    A 1½-hr signposted walking circuit allows you to explore the three lower waterfalls....
