The Chavannettes waterfalls

Les Chutes de Chavannettes
Chemin des Chutes
1673 Rue

The Chavanettes Falls are closed to the public until further notice due to security works.

Formed by several small torrents in the Pre-Alps of Fribourg, the Broye River appears in Semsales and flows between the canton of Fribourg and the canton of Vaud, as it goes through Palézieux, Moudon and Payerne and then Lake Murten and bypass the Mont-Vully before flowing into Lake Neuchâtel.

The Chavannettes waterfalls are an idyllic spot for a family outing on a river during summer.

The Chavanettes Waterfalls are closed to the public until further notice. This is due to safety works. Access is prohibited until further notice.
