This loop of average difficulty will make you discover a particularly wild Rhône. However, this part of the Rhône located upstream from Seyssel knew a human activity, from asphalt extraction and rocks from Seyssel.
Traces of this industrial activity are still visible (old bridge of Pyrimont, quarry of Pyrimont, salt barn on the right side...). You will be able to admire one of the geological curiosities of the first rank: the Sugarloaf Waterfall.
