Cirque du Fer à Cheval

Last sunday I went for a hike in a place called the “Cirque du Fer à Cheval”, in Haute-Savoie. It is surrounded by mountains (unfortunately, I didn’t see much of them because of the fog) and has many waterfalls, that feed the torrent called Giffre. It is a very pleasant walk, almost flat, except at the end of the Cirque, that is known as the “Bout du monde” (“World’s End” in French) where the path becomes a bit steep. The view is worth it though.
