Annecy 2025 Gorges du Fier

The Gorges du Fier is a natural wonder, just a short drive from Annecy. The Fier river (fier translates to proud) carved a gorge through the pre-Alps (foothills of the Alps), and Man added a footbridge. You (and a hundred of your best friends) can walk along, 25 meters (82 feet) above the water, but still well below the top of the gorge. The path goes for 1.2 km (3/4 mile) in the shade, with the sound of rushing water to keep it cool.


On the left side wall, there's a scale showing different flood levels.


Here are a few shots along the way...









We finished with a quick look at the Chateau Montrottier


Take a look at the Annecy 2025 Gorges du Fier album - there a a few short videos where you can hear the water 😉
