Gorges de l'Infernet, Canyon in Les Deux Alpes, France.
The Infernet canyon cuts through limestone mountains, creating vertical walls that extend dozens of meters high and form a natural corridor.
The geological formation emerged millions of years ago through water erosion, which gradually carved through the limestone rock to create the current walls.
Local mountain guides conduct educational tours in the canyon to teach visitors about the geology and ecology of the French Alps.
Access to the canyon requires a 400-meter hike from the Gillardes parking area, following a marked trail that crosses over a bridge.
The canyon contains the Gillardes springs, which rank as the second-largest natural water source in France by volume.
