Cascade "Saut du Chien", Observation point in Gorges de la Truyère, France
The waterfall descends through rocky walls in the Gorges de la Truyère, forming a natural viewpoint with panoramic views of the surrounding canyons.
The observation point became part of local hiking trails in 2012, marking a new chapter in the development of Saint-Gausbert en Viadène parish.
This natural landmark serves as a gathering point for regional hiking groups, connecting visitors with the mountainous landscape of Occitanie.
The circular trail extends 4.68 kilometers through chestnut forests and meadows, requiring approximately 100 minutes to complete the entire route.
From the observation platform, visitors can simultaneously view the waterfall, Valon Castle, and the canyon where the stream joins the Truyère River.
