Our take

A plateau waterfall on the Surenne stream, a tributary of the Lignon, at the bottom of a wooded valley between two hamlets of Mazet-Saint-Voy. In very cold weather it partly freezes.

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

In a wooded valley at Mazet-Saint-Voy, the Surenne stream drops over a waterfall between the hamlets of Le Petit Crouzet and Le Grand Crouzet, about 400 m from each as the crow flies.

Between the hamlets of Le Petit Crouzet and Le Grand Crouzet, in the commune of Mazet-Saint-Voy, the Surenne stream carves out a wooded valley before going on to join the Lignon. This is where it drops over a waterfall, in broadleaf woodland.

The fall is about 400 m, as the crow flies, from each of the two hamlets. Bring good walking shoes.

In very cold weather, the fall partly freezes: a sight to look out for in winter.

Why we love it

  • The Surenne stream dropping over a waterfall at the bottom of the valley
  • A wooded valley carved out by the Surenne before it joins the Lignon
  • The fall that partly freezes in very cold weather

Top tip

“Cascade du Crouzet” or “Cascade du Petit Crouzet”: both names are used for the same fall, on the Surenne stream. In very cold weather, it partly freezes.

Before you go

  • In very cold weather, when the fall partly freezes, or after heavy rain, when the Surenne has a good flow.
  • The fall is about 400 m, as the crow flies, from the hamlets of Le Petit Crouzet and Le Grand Crouzet.
  • Bring good shoes: you walk through woodland.
