At the end of the Chaley canyon, you can jump into a beautiful turquoise water basin with a choice of 2 heights: 4 metres on the right bank or 6 metres on the left bank.
You will be in an enchanting environment, where the purity of the water gives the pools a turquoise colour unique to the Chaley canyon. This colour can be explained by the origin of the water which flows from springs fed by rainfall on the limestone plateaux of the Haut-Bugey. The canyon of Chaley is a magnificent and singular natural place, shaped by the stream which takes its source a few hundred meters from there.
