Directions

Heading off from the church you will cross the old bridge, passing the library to Rue Bidon. Go under the road via the bridge and follow the footpath along the river Dranse. Throughout the walk you will see sign posts with information about foxes, the wildlife, the riverside and about the environment - great for children as it offers some walking entertainment. 

When you get to the Nyon cable car, car park take a right and head up to the waterfall to enjoy great scenery and a lovely waterfall. Take the same path back down and continue along the river Dranse path until you reach Ergine where you will find fields and meadows. To return take the same route back.
