Cascade des prises, Mountain waterfall in Saint-Égrève, France.
The Cascade des Prises is a multi-level waterfall in the mountains near Grenoble that drops over natural rock formations. The water divides into several cascades as it flows down the steep terrain.
Early travelers used the waterfall as a reference point when crossing the region centuries ago. The steady water source held importance for the local communities who depended on it.
Residents of Saint-Égrève gather regularly around the waterfall for community events and outdoor celebrations throughout the year.
The trails to the waterfall require sturdy footwear and are most passable during dry months from June through September. Visitors should expect slippery surfaces and allow enough time for the climb up and back down.
The water flows over the rock faces in a way that creates geometric patterns and lines. This effect occurs because the water follows the various layers and cracks in the stone.
