In the heart of the French Alps, in the village of Les Gets, experience a night walk in an enchanted forest like no other. Set off along the path of a travelling music-maker and his hot-air balloon, and follow his incredible journey beyond the mountains.

The one-kilometre pathway will take you through different enchanted set pieces where the story is told through the poetics of light, music, imagery, set design and interactivity. A travelling music-maker takes flight in his hot air balloon, spreading enchanted melodies throughout faraway lands. But a terrible storm is raging in the distance… Follow the traces of this whimsical character and join him on his quest. Let your senses guide you along your journey, and let yourself get lost in a world of amazement, where music is seen and light can be heard.

Inside the Les Gorges du pont diable caves

2. Les Gorges du Pont du Diable

Location
Morzine

A great walk through a beech forest and dramatic limestone gorges carved by the Dranse de Morzine. Expect vibrant rock colours, safe cliffside paths and even a daring glass walkway you can try.

Wander through ancient beech woodland then descend 110 m via steps and bridges anchored in the rock and follow information panels explaining how glaciers and erosion sculpted the cliff faces. You might spot chamois and giant “giant’s cauldrons” swirling in the gorge below.

The site has welcomed visitors since 1893, when local joiner Jean Bochaton built staircases and walkways to give access to the river. By 1908 it was officially protected as a geological treasure. Since 2012 it's part of the UNESCO Chablais Geopark. In 2020 a glass viewpoint, the “Pas du Diable”, was added, this is a thrilling 50m high perch over the gorge.

Today you can enjoy a well-maintained, family-friendly route open from the end of March to the end of September every year. It's perfect whatever the weather warm and refreshing in summer, atmospheric in rain and very manageable for most visitors, aside from the steps and vertical drops.

You’ll finish with a rewarding return through the forest and perhaps a stop at the picnic area or visitor centre. With around 50,000 visitors each season, the site is lively yet never overcrowded: a friendly, unforgettable glimpse into the raw natural power visible in the Chablais region.
