Between Lake Geneva and Chamonix, 1h from Annecy or Geneva, in the heart of Haute Savoie, the Haut Giffre corresponds to the upper part of the valley covered by the torrent the Giffre. Impetuous, 32 km long, its watershed forms a very wide glacial valley. The Cirque du Fer à Cheval, from which it springs, offers a spectacular spectacle: jump out of your car and set off on an adventure!

Located between Sixt Fer à Cheval, Samoëns, Verchaix and Morillon, the Giffre valley is one of the most beautiful valleys of Haute Savoie which has remained in a wild state.A mountain torrent with a nival regime, whose flow is natural, the Giffre winds its meanders of pebbles and gravel, fed by the innumerable Bout du Monde and Fer à Cheval waterfalls. With translucent blue water, the Giffre becomes narrow and deep in the Tines gorges to allow itself to be won over by its desires for largesse further downstream.

In these magnificent landscapes carved out by this tumultuous river, passing through the heart of the Gorges des Tines, a listed site, lovers of rafting, canoeing and hydrospeed can have a great time.
