la cascade d'Arpenaz
It is 270 metres high. It is born from a torrent called "La Laiteuse". When the bise blows and sprays the water against the wall, the waterfall is christened "the bridal veil". The name Arpenaz comes from the Celtic prefix "Ar" (running water) and the Celtic suffix "pen" (rocky head). At the Arpenaz waterfall, you can go mountain biking, climbing, walking, picnicking... It is said that, when the waterfall flows to the right, it is a sign of fine weather; when it flows to the left, a sign of bad weather. The Arpenaz waterfall is a classified site.
