Woodland waterfall parking, constant road noise
D1506, 74660, Vallorcine
Been here?
A small, slightly sloping parking area at the edge of woodland, useful for starting the walk to the Bérard waterfall. The road below is continuously loud, including after 23:00. Many day visitors arrive for the waterfall, and mosquitoes are common in the evening. Picnic tables are available.

The road is continuously very noisy and the site is completely sloping. During the day there are many visitors hiking to the waterfall. Lots of mosquitoes in the evening. Down below opposite is just as noisy, but you stand level and there are hardly any mosquitoes.
Busy road just below. But given the lack of spots in the area, this one has the advantage of being pleasant: edge of woodland, flowers, and a view of a peak.
Unfortunately, the road is still quite noisy after 11 p.m. The site is also somewhat sloping.
Quiet little spot! Not very level, but manageable with two or three levelling blocks. Little traffic in the evening and at night. I recommend the lovely short walk to the waterfall! The little bar just above the waterfall is very welcoming, and you can also get something to eat there. Note: from the car park to the waterfall, the walk can be done with a dog on a lead without any problem.
Perfect for one night! Because it is very close to the road, there is passing traffic... A great starting point for a hike to Bérard waterfall and the cave a little higher up.
