Gorges du Guiers Vif, Natural canyon in Chartreuse Mountains, France.
The Guiers Vif River has carved deep limestone cliffs through the mountain range, forming a series of narrow passages and geological formations.
The construction of route D520C in 1994 created a direct connection between the towns of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont and Corbel through the gorge.
The gorge serves as a natural border between Isère and Savoie departments, establishing itself as a defining feature of the regional landscape.
Access to the gorge requires careful navigation through unlit tunnels and narrow road sections along the 11.8-kilometer mountain route.
The canyon presents a vertical drop of 496 meters over 7 kilometers, making it a notable destination for canyoning enthusiasts.
