Hiking - The Saut du Gier waterfall from La Jasserie

A beautiful hike, but with significant elevation gain. Wear a good pair of walking shoes, as the path is steep and heavily eroded.
Just a trickle of water in summer, in autumn and spring it forms a magnificent waterfall near a large chirat.
Warning: There is a 607 m elevation change between La Jasserie and Saut du Gier. This route is for experienced hikers only and follows a rugged trail. Go to La Jasserie near the barn and take the level path to start; this is the GR®7. Follow it to the Paumet crossroads. From there, leave the GR®7 trail markers and head downhill towards Scie Du Bost, following only the brown and white no. 4 waymarks. Before reaching the hamlet (at the large beech tree), take the path on the left heading up to the Saut du Gier waterfall. Return by the same route.

All hikers are responsible for their own safety. Hikes are therefore undertaken at your own risk. Please stay on the waymarked trails to protect these fragile areas.

Some useful recommendations:

• Check the weather forecast before setting off.


• Some routes cross busy roads: Please be careful.


• Keep dogs on a leash.


• Do not light fires.


• Take all your litter home with you.


• Admire the flowers, but do not pick them.


• Tick bites can transmit serious diseases. As a precaution: wear long clothing, use insect repellent, check your body upon your return, remove any ticks with a special tick-remover tool (without applying anything to the tick), and consult a doctor if a rash or flu-like symptoms develop, or if you are in an at-risk group.


• For the emergency services, dial 18 or 112.
