Gorges du Pont du Diable, Natural gorge and geological formation in La Vernaz, France.
The limestone gorge features a sequence of elevated walkways allowing visitors to observe the Dranse River flowing 50 meters below through rock formations.
The site's geological formation began 10,000 years ago when glacial activity and water erosion carved through the limestone barriers of the Rochers de la Garde.
The name Pont du Diable stems from local folklore, referring to a naturally formed stone arch that spans across the deep river canyon.
The site operates from April to October, with summer hours from 9:00 to 18:00, and requires visitors to descend 70 meters via stairs anchored in rock.
A glass walkway positioned 60 meters above the river allows visitors to experience the geological formations while observing the water movement below.
