Saut de Brot, Stone bridge and waterfall in Brot-Dessous, Switzerland
Saut de Brot is a waterfall in a rocky gorge crossed by a stone arch bridge at the point where water cascades down. The narrow canyon is formed by steep rock walls that channel the flowing water.
The Areuse River has cut this gorge into the rock over many thousands of years. Erosion created a passage that once connected local settlements across the mountainous region.
This spot draws people who want to experience the raw power of water flowing through a narrow canyon. Visitors come to observe nature as a constant sculptural force.
To reach this site, follow marked trails from Noiraigue, which takes about 45 minutes. Sturdy hiking shoes matter since areas around the waterfall can be wet and slippery.
In spring, the waterfall splits into multiple channels flowing around the bridge's supports. These divided water streams create distinct patterns that look different depending on where you stand.
