The hike starts from the car park at the small waterfall (about one kilometre on the right after Tendon towards Le Tholy).
(S/E) From the car park, you can already see the small waterfall, but do not go down to it. Instead, follow the path on your left when facing it. The large waterfall is about one kilometre away and, in the summer, it is difficult to get lost as many people make the round trip with their families.
(1) Keep following the main path until you reach a three-way junction where large stones look like a collapsed stele. Take the path on the left, pass an old house and, before the inn on your right, you will arrive at the Grande Cascade.
(2) Take the path on the right that climbs towards the waterfall. The path quickly branches off to the left before climbing back up to the right towards the waterfall. (Ignore a path that goes straight ahead at this hairpin bend).
When you reach the top of the waterfall, take the footbridge across the stream and follow the path opposite, slightly to the right.
(3) As the trail turns sharply to the left, you will be tempted to take the path that goes straight ahead. Do not do so, but continue to the left until you reach a small clearing where, again on your left, a small wooden bridge invites you to cross a small stream. Do so and continue straight ahead, slightly uphill, for a little less than a kilometre.
(4) After two small fishing ponds, at a pretty chalet available for rent, turn right onto the path that goes at a right angle, then climbs up to the right, passing an old abandoned house. The slope is quite steep. Continue along the main path.
Only when the path begins to descend will you find a three-way junction with a wooden sign, of which only the upper part remains, indicating what appears to be "Roches de Brostille" on the right. Follow it. A little further on, at an intersection, turn left. The short descent will soon be over, as you will have to climb back up to reach the Roches.
(5) The Roches de la Brostille offer a lovely view of the village of Tendon. Continue along the path, which will level out before starting to descend again.
(6) You will soon reach a three-way junction where you should turn right before finding, a little further down, a sign indicating "Petite Cascade". This path turns at a sharp angle before descending rather steeply to the left.
At the end of the descent, turn right and continue downhill until you see the road, but do not go all the way to it or to the stream. Instead, take the path that branches off to the right.
Follow it for about 500 m.
(7) Take the path on the right. Very soon, on the left, a sign will indicate the path down to the small waterfall. At the bottom of the path, cross the footbridge to find yourself facing the small waterfall. Go back up to reach the car park (S/E).
