This is the only tourist cave in the Haute Savoie. An underground tour allows the visitor to discover the wonders left by the receding waters of a glacier. Moulins, small and giant cauldrons can be seen. On the surface there are animated models of a watermill, oilmill, sawmill and a forge. A film shows craftsmen at work in their workshop. Footbridges and staircases enable visitors to walk up to the top of the waterfall (height 40 m). Text by Tony Oldham (2003). With kind permission. |
