Grotte et cascade de Seythenex, Natural cave and waterfall in Faverges-Seythenex, France.
The cave system extends through limestone formations while a 40-meter waterfall cascades down the rocky cliff face near the entrance.
The cave formations developed through water erosion over thousands of years, creating networks of passages that were later discovered by local explorers.
The site serves as an educational center where visitors learn about geological processes and the impact of water on limestone formations.
Guided tours lasting 40 minutes operate from April to September, with adult tickets priced at 9 euros and children's tickets at 7 euros.
The site features a 150-meter zipline that allows visitors to cross above the waterfall while observing the natural landscape below.

The Haute-Savoie is home to waterfalls with very different characters. Some are hidden along forest paths, like the Cascade du Dard near Chamonix, while others tumble down from tall limestone cliffs over hundreds of meters. The Cascade d'Arpenaz near Sallanches is one of the tallest in France, with an 860-meter drop. The Cascades d'Angon flow down in several steps to Lake Annecy, and the Cascade de la Diosaz can be visited through walkways built in a gorge. The Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval contains around thirty waterfalls that flow along a rocky amphitheater. Depending on the season and snowmelt, the flow changes, altering the atmosphere of the place. Other waterfalls, like the one in Nyon accessible by cable car or the one in Seythenex with its old water wheel, offer easy walks suitable for everyone.
