Nestled in the charming hamlet of Glandieu, on the border of Groslée-Saint-Benoît and Brégnier-Cordon, the Glandieu Waterfall is one of Bugey's most beautiful natural treasures.
With its 60m drop, divided into two successive waterfalls, it offers a breathtaking spectacle that changes with the seasons.
