Gavarnie Falls

The Gavarnie Falls is a tiered waterfall in France. With its overall drop of 422 metres, it is the highest waterfall in mainland France. The falls are situated in the Cirque de Gavarnie, near the village Gavarnie in the Hautes-Pyrénées. The waterfall is the beginning of the Gave de Pau stream. It is fed by a melting snow and a small glacier, located in Spain. This water seeps underground until it appears at the upper rim of waterfall. The average annual flow in the waterfall is 3 m³/s. In summer, when the snowmelt is most intense, it can reach up to 200 m³/s. In winter it sometimes freezes and stops flowing. The waterfall has 2 - 3 steps; the height of the tallest drop is 281 m

​“Twenty years from now you will
be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

― Mark Twain
