The Charabotte waterfall is 115 meters of waterfalls in the hollow of a green environment. Whether it is revealed in all its height or is concealed from view by the vegetation, its approach is always a striking moment.
The retreat ends at the bottom of the valley with the Charabotte waterfall, one of the highest waterfalls in France with more than 110 meters in height. It marks the beginning of the Albarine gorges, named after the river which feeds it and which has its source in Brénod. The water from the falls then travels through the Val d'Hauteville to the Golet du Thiou.
This site has been classified since 1909 as a “natural monument of artistic character”.
The Charabotte waterfall was labeled Espace Naturel Sensible or "ENS" by the Department of Ain in 2015. True natural and landscape jewels of the Department of Ain, these sites benefiting from the ENS label are on the one hand preserved thanks to local management and on the other hand made accessible to the greatest number when the fragility of the site allows it.
