Headline
Mountain peak Corne du Chamois (Chamois Horns, 2523m) seen from the river Le Giffre
Caption
The Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval takes its name from the shape of its cliffs, which form a semicircle. Its impressive height (2000 m). The site comprises two parts: the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval and the Fond de la Combe. The two are separated by the protrusion of the Pic de Tenneverge (2836 m) and its extension, the Corne du Chamois (2523 m).
The rocks forming this Horseshoe Massif are limestones formed during the Jurassic period (199 to 145 million years ago). During the uplift of the Alps, from 50 MA, these rock masses were pushed towards the west and were strongly folded (some rocks multiple times).
In the cirque, around thirty waterfalls tumble from the cliffs in the spring when the snow melts. During the summer, eleven waterfalls remain. At the bottom of the valley, the Bout du Monde also has a good ten waterfalls.
