Facts and practical information

The gorges of the Fier are a remarkable natural curiosity of France, in Haute-Savoie: a very narrow and deep gorge that can be visited thanks to a footbridge fixed on the side of the rock, built in 1869 by the Annecy architect Marius Vallin and classified since 1943. This gorge was cut by the powerful torrent of the Fier in the commune of Lovagny, some eleven kilometers west of Annecy.
