About Cascade de Berard
Cascade de Berard was the lone waterfall on our France trip where we didn’t get to see it properly after hiking to it.
That was because access to the viewpoint where we could be face-to-face with it was forbidden and blocked. So all we could do was settle for disappointing views of the waterfall from the bridge over its top. We were even able to see the viewpoint below us across the stream where we should’ve been. Unfortunately, it didn’t appear we had a way of detouring there safely.
Yet despite this setback, we were able to enjoy some Alps scenery as the trail itself allowed us to get out and enjoy the beautiful snowy mountains that were surrounding us. Even as we hiked the 20-minute uphill trail, there were a pair of prominent peaks that constantly commanded our attention as they towered over the trail and the handful of mountain chalets we passed between.
Even on the drive to its trailhead, we were able to see Mt Blanc as well as the ski resort town of Chamonix along with its surrounding jagged peaks and glaciers.
Perhaps one of these days, we might be able to return here when the trail work is done. We did see a sign here that work is being done (since 2008) to improve access to that side.
