Fairy chimneys are natural rock columns. These columns, with their sometimes strange and evocative shapes (giving rise to numerous legends), are created by various erosion phenomena, and can reach several dozen meters in height.
Not far from these fairy chimneys flows the Saussaz torrent, with its many bathing spots. On the way back from your walk, you can stop off at the edge of this torrent, located next to a rock-climbing school.
