Access: machine translated ➜

From Aigle, drive in the direction of Châteaux-d'Oex. In the municipality of La Lécherette, follow the direction (signs) Hongrin. Continue on the road to the military barracks. You can park 200 m after a no-driving sign.

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

From there you will hear the Hongrin River. You are 150 meters from the river on the right. Cross the forest as far as possible to enter the canyon.

Tour (1 h): machine translated ➜

A horizontal, rather wide canyon lined with fir trees. A playful descent with interesting water movements. Several possible emergency exits in RG. The Hongrin has its source at Lac Lioson 1848m. Nival regime. The natural catchment area of the Hongrin is 81.8 km2.

Return (25 min): machine translated ➜

Leave RG, 50 m after the hole in the block chaos (siphon). Path as straight as possible up through the forest 100 m until you come to a road that will take you back to the car in 10 min.
