Les Ponts de la Caille

Les Ponts de la Caille consists of two parallel bridges that cross high above the gorge carved by the Usses River in Haute-Savoie. They connect both sides of the valley and feature observation areas where visitors can take in the surroundings.

The Pont Charles-Albert was built in the 19th century as a milestone in bridge engineering. Its design using steel cables and towers set new standards for infrastructure at that time.

The bridges serve as gathering places where people from the region meet and connect. They play a role in local events and create a focal point for shared experiences in Haute-Savoie.

Visitors can access both bridges year-round through dedicated parking areas located nearby. The observation platforms provide safe vantage points to view the gorge and surrounding landscape.

The Tour de France bicycle race once crossed these bridges during a major race stage connecting two important cities. This moment marked when cutting-edge infrastructure became part of a sporting tradition.
