From Perouges to Bugey

Waterfall of Luizet, ENS de l'Ain

Pet Friendly

In a circus, the waterfall falls from a height of 100m and then joins the river "La Pernaz" which descends in a gorge to join the Rhône. A site to visit during the favorable periods of spring and autumn for a more spectacular flow

The waterfall is accessible on foot (about 45 minutes walk).
From the Onglas car park: Leave the car park on the left and take the path on the right that goes to the Luizet waterfall. Return by the same route. Count 1h30 walk for the round trip.

The Cascade de Luizet is one of the beautiful surprises of the Pernaz river, labeled "ENS*" by the Department of Ain in 2015.

True natural and landscape jewels of the Department of Ain, the sites benefiting from the ENS label "*Sensitive natural spaces" are managed in such a way as to preserve the biodiversity they host and arranged for opening to the public (except in exceptional cases due to the fragility backgrounds).

This very well-preserved river, whose karst geology forms numerous waterfalls and creates very fragile tufa habitats, has also been labeled "Rivière Sauvage" since January 2020.
