Waterfall of the river Hérisson: The Great Jump

The river Hérisson forms a number of beautiful and also spectacular waterfalls. The Grand Saut (Great Jump) waterfall is one of the higher waterfalls in the area which is called "Cascade du hérisson".

The hike

To reach the location you have to hike through the beautiful valley. It is from the western parking spot about 20 minutes hike uphill and from the eastern parking spot downhill about 40 minutes. If you like to visit the whole valley back and forth including enjoying the sights, plan for 3-5 hours. You can however easily spend a full day here. The only downside is that it can get crowded.

Hike recommendation

There is a amazing path which is used by less people:

On the way up follow the path along the river at the additional way point and visit the cave "Grotte Lacuzon". After follow the path to behind the waterfall and continue to the platform where you find the cache.

On the way down go for the cache and then follow the path towards the waterfall, go behind it and then to the cave.

The cache

The cache is a small plastic container with a magnet attached. Please don't place heavy stuff in it.
