This natural bridge is located on a big pothole in a short narrow section between two waterfalls. The hightest waterfall has 25 meters. It is located by red star at "cascade" on the IGN topographic map "Cret des Neiges" top 25 number 3328 west (pleat A4).

How to get there : From "Molinges", drive up road D63 for 6km to the village of "Vulvoz". Then back down the way you cames 1km and turn right at sign *Cascade du Moulin". Drive down 100 meters to the end of the road (harpin bend) and park. From there hike the yellow trail at sign "Cascade" 100 meters to the old stone bridge overhanging the narrow part. The bridge is visible down canyon from the old bridge. This short canyoneering spot requires wet suit and two ropes of 25 meters.
