Cascade de la Pisserotte, Natural waterfall in Saint-Joseph-de-Rivière, France
The Cascade de la Pisserotte drops water vertically over a limestone wall, reaching a height of 76 meters in the Chartreuse mountain range.
The waterfall formed through geological processes in the Alps region, carving its path through the limestone formations of the Chartreuse mountains over thousands of years.
Local farmers maintain traditional dairy production methods at the nearby Fromagerie de Plantimay, where visitors can learn about regional cheese making processes.
Visitors can access the waterfall via a marked trail from Les Grollets hamlet, with parking available at coordinates 45.351150, 5.678179, followed by a 10-minute walk.
The Grand Moulin river creates a perfect vertical stripe of falling water, which reaches maximum flow during spring when snow melts from La Grande Sure peak.
