Presentation

The Oursière waterfall, the natural power of water.
The Oursière waterfall is very impressive with its 80 metres height.
Once very popular with spa-goers in the early 19th century, the successive waterfalls make it the most refreshing spot in the area. Between shady switchbacks and vertiginous streams, this place of rejuvenation is ideal for hot weather.
The ruins of the former chalet-hotel de l'Oursière are still visible just before you reach the final 80m-high waterfall.

It can be reached on foot, by hike or trail, from the departmental road 111 up to Chamrousse, by parking in the parking lot next to the Auberge des Seiglières (or from the locality of "la Gafe").
> INFORMATION FROM AUGUST 25, 2023: Due to a rockfall, the trail between the "Seiglières" or "La Gafe" parking lot and the Cascade de l'Oursière is closed by municipal by-law from August 25, 2023 until further notice.
