Thank you very much, your guidance is brilliant. Visorando, a trustworthy website.
As for how busy it is, I would say it varies depending on the time of year.
A magnificent place!

Very beautiful landscape
The path along the waterfall becomes more rugged but is fine if you take your time
Worth the effort

A very pretty walk, but be careful when climbing up the waterfall on the left, as the path is difficult and there are chains to hold on to. You need to be a bit of an acrobat, otherwise it's better to go back the way you came on the right, which is less well marked and doesn't take you to the Chartreux cross. We didn't dare climb above, stopping at the Chartreux cross and returning by the same route, so we didn't get much of a view of the potholes. A shame. However, we really enjoyed it. Thank you for this discovery.

A wonderful discovery of this magnificent waterfall.
A holiday atmosphere in the heart of Haute-Savoie.

Nice description and useful, well-designed app

We found this hike fairly average up to the waterfall, but after that it becomes quite difficult, with muddy and slippery paths along the edge of the drop, some steep climbs and a clear lack of signposting. I wouldn't describe the trail as average, and I wouldn't recommend it with children.

I should have thought about it before, there isn't much water, it must be more spectacular in autumn.
The climb is steep in places.
Over a few metres, the path is collapsing and will soon be impassable. To be on the safe side, I decided to climb up to the cross upstream and come back down the other side.

The walk around the lake is very pleasant. There is a lovely chapel to see. I didn't climb up to the waterfall. It was too difficult for me, but I'm no expert...
Too steep. Slippery ground and lots of mud.

Very nice hike. Thank you for the previous comments that directed me to the upper loop and the "panorama" with a magnificent view and a small bench to enjoy it. I also followed the advice to take the cross-country trails and see the waterfall and the potholes up close (and there are indeed potholes).
The route was very well explained and signposted. There were no major difficulties despite the rain the day before, but there was little water in the river and the fords were easy to cross. I'm not sure if this will always be the case.

A lovely walk despite the low flow of the waterfall, due to the dry weather...
However, the "potholes" were clearly visible
No particular difficulty, brand new chains provide excellent assistance on the few tricky steps on the rocks, allowing access to the summit from the Chartreux cross (at the foot of the waterfall).
Don't hesitate, on this final steep section along the waterfall, to take the small, well-marked "side paths" that branch off from the main route to admire the waterfall more closely, taking care to stay safe. You'll reach the edge of the potholes, which are very pretty. However, avoid this route if the water flow is strong or the ground is too wet.

This hike cannot be described as easy or accessible to everyone. There are some very tricky sections and reaching the return route is almost like climbing.
The trail is not well marked everywhere.
The lakeside is very pleasant and the chapel is well worth a visit.

The river banks are quite eroded, so be careful when crossing.
Other than that, it's a very beautiful walk, but not an easy one. The ascents and descents should be tackled with caution.
Down below, the lake is huge and stunning, with some lovely picnic spots
Two kilometres away, the café-restaurant La Chèvrerie is a must-visit (please note that you need to book in advance as it gets very busy!)

Nice walk, but there are a few "pitfalls": the waterfall bed is quite damaged, and there are quite a few places where you need to be careful (especially as we did it after heavy rain...). Nice view of the waterfall, but the climb to the top isn't easy for everyone. The potholes aren't very visible (or maybe we missed them
). The path is covered, so there's no view, just the small stream and the forest.
at the start, we did the upper loop towards the "Panorama" (signposted "Panorama" then "Chapelle Saint Bruno" to get back on track) then descended down the side of the mountain, which was nice and safe (allow an extra 40 minutes and 100 metres of elevation gain) but the view of the lake is worth it. Pass by the pretty Saint Bruno chapel. The picnic spots by the lake are perfect.
The valley is superb and we finished up on the terrace of the Café de la Chèvrerie, which serves delicious, generous dishes and offers a warm welcome. A very nice experience, thank you for the route!

The effort of climbing to the top of the waterfall is well worth it to see the configuration of this multi-tiered waterfall with its potholes carved into the limestone rock.
Be careful though, as the climb is steep in wet or rainy conditions. Hold on to tree roots for support. Keep children away from the edge of the waterfall.

hike done today. Not too many people, very pleasant climb in the shade.
there wasn't much water in the waterfall, but it's very pretty, especially the "slide" section and the pools.
nice place to have a snack and rest
The Chartreux cross is no longer signposted and the handrail is gone, but the path back down is not difficult to find. The descent is a bit tricky and hard on the legs!
very nice walk, suitable for children
