The Cascade d'Angon is a magnificent waterfall into a circular hole. Starting at Talloires we walk alongside the very pretty Lac d’Annecy to Angon and then walk up through forest to meadows with very nice views up to La Tournette and down to the lake. We cross the Pont des Fées (Bridge of Fairies). We go under a travertine bridge, i.e. under a waterfall (getting a little wet) for views of the Cascade d'Angon. The water seems to appear almost magically at the top of the chute. Then, like a diver with hands folded at its sides, it disappears as it plunges into the pool at the base. We walk back down to Talloires on the lakeside. This hike is rated easy (facile), but if it is wet, the trail will be slippery in places. Before the falls one must walk above a vertiginous cliff, but there is wide, flat path and a sturdy fence, so falling off would be impossible. The last ten meters (optional) before the falls is rock scrambling using chains, but the best view of the falls comes before this.
