Our take

A fall of about fifteen metres at the bottom of a wooded dell, just before the Séjallières joins the Malaval, reached on foot by the path known as the “chemin du bois”.

The guide that goes with itLes plus belles cascades d'Auvergne

A waterfall of about fifteen metres on the Séjallières, close to where it meets the Malaval, reached on foot from the village of Alleyras, in the Haut-Allier gorges.

The Séjallières stream drops about fifteen metres just before joining the Malaval. You are in a wooded dell, below the village of Alleyras, in a commune of the Haut-Allier gorges.

You get there on foot: at the entrance to the village, the path known as the “chemin du bois” leads to the waterfall. It is not a roadside stop, so bring good shoes.

While you're here, push on, on the way out of the village, to the Tourettes viewpoint and its orientation table. And take your rubbish away with you.

Why we love it

  • The Séjallières plunging about fifteen metres just before joining the Malaval
  • The path known as the “chemin du bois”, which starts at the entrance to the village
  • The wooded dell, below the village
  • The Tourettes viewpoint and its orientation table, on the way out of the village

Top tip

On the way out of the village, make a detour to the Tourettes viewpoint and its orientation table, before or after the waterfall.

Before you go

  • After good rains, when the Séjallières is flowing well.
  • It is not a roadside stop: the waterfall is reached on foot, by the path known as the “chemin du bois”, from the entrance to the village.
  • Good shoes recommended: the path goes down into the wooded dell.
  • Take your rubbish away with you.
