The Fond de la Combe and its magical waterfalls

A lovely walk in the Giffre valley, starting from the immense glacial amphitheatre known as the Fer à Cheval, to reach the Fond de la Combe, with magnificent waterfalls, particularly in spring; the flora and fauna are also impressive.
Moderator's note, following a comment from a user on 17 June 2023.

The End of the World

Tour of the Dents Blanches massif, Ruan, Tenneverge

Straddling the Franco-Swiss border, the Dents Blanches, Dents du Midi, Tenneverge, Mont Ruan and Aiguilles Rouges.
