Cascade du Pissou, Waterfall in Belledonne Mountains, France
The Pissou waterfall descends through multiple tiers of granite rock formations at an elevation of 1200 meters in the French Alps.
The waterfall marks an ancient boundary between traditional pastoral territories that date back to medieval mountain communities in the region.
Local mountain guides have passed down knowledge about the waterfall's seasonal patterns through generations of hikers and nature enthusiasts.
Visitors can access the waterfall via a marked trail starting from Fond de France, with the complete circuit extending 7.8 kilometers.
During winter months, the waterfall partially freezes, creating natural ice formations that reflect light in different patterns throughout the day.
