Thurignin Gorges

Highlight • River

These gorges are particularly fascinating when the water flow is significant. My recommendation is to come and admire this jewel of Ain in spring, when the snow melts.

After passing through an impressive canyon, you have before you the largest waterfall in the Ain department. With its 60 meters high, it fascinates.

This limestone plateau, known as Lapiaz, was formed more than 140 million years ago. In addition to being home to remarkable biodiversity, it also offers magnificent panoramas of the Grand Colombier.
