Cascade du Dard, Natural waterfall in Croy, Switzerland.
Cascade du Dard is a waterfall on the Nozon river in the gorges du Nozon at Croy. It drops 20 metres in a single fall into a basin of about 80 square metres.
The waterfall took shape over thousands of years as the Nozon river carved through rock layers via natural erosion. This geological process continues to shape the landscape around Croy.
The waterfall sits in the gorges du Nozon, a narrow cut in the rock of the Croy area. The name Dard refers to the jet of water itself, which drops in a single fall into a basin of about 80 m2. Walkers on the gorge path see the basin from above before reaching the foot of the fall.
You can reach it on foot from Croy railway station or park your car at Chemin de la Foule. The walk is easy and takes only a few minutes from the parking area.
The fall drops 20 metres and empties into a basin of roughly 80 square metres, a figure the source gives for the pool at its foot. The Nozon feeds it inside the gorges that cut through Croy.
