Walking tour : Les Gorges des Tines

Discover the Gorges des Tines, a natural site of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval. An ideal walk in hot weather that will delight the whole family!

Description

From the Gorges des Tines car park, cross the footbridge over the gorges... Follow the path to your left just after the bridge. You'll then come to the entrance to the gorges and start heading down a forest path. When you reach the gravel pits, go up the path equipped with a hand rail and follow this as far as the forest. Continue uphill, following the "Gorges des Tines" trail on the GR itinerary, which then takes you down some steps before entering the old gorges which are also equipped with steps. On exiting the forest, the path rejoins the Giffre river, which you'll follow on the right back to your departure point.
