Hiking
Mysterious canyon
Trient
The mysterious Tête-Noire Gorges are open for summer 2026. The Cave of the Nymphs, however, is closed due to engineering works until further notice.
The footpaths starting from the Tête-Noire car park are closed for maintenance work from 17 August to 11 September 2026. Access to the gorges is via the Trouléro car park, before the bridge leading to the village of Finhaut.
From the Trouléro car park, take the path to the Gorges Mystérieuses via the 120-metre footbridge spanning the river to reach the bottom of the gorge. There you can admire the mysterious and impressive Grotte aux Nymphes, where a glass sculpture hangs in this magical setting!
Soak up the power of the waterfalls and take the opportunity to recharge your batteries, as the water has a purifying effect thanks to the landscape it has created. The natural surroundings here are beautiful and untamed.
A walking route connects Finhaut to the Gorges Mystérieuses if you’re travelling by train and fancy a longer walk through the gorges.
