Depuis le parking fl\u00e9ch\u00e9 sur la D11, un sentier descend assez raidement jusqu’\u00e0 une passerelle. C’est l\u00e0 qu’on se retrouve face aux deux sauts successifs du Scouet, enserr\u00e9s entre deux pans de granite. Avec un bon d\u00e9bit, la cascade impressionne bien au-del\u00e0 de ses 5 \u00e0 7 m\u00e8tres de hauteur : l’encaissement de la gorge amplifie tout \u2014 le bruit, les \u00e9claboussures, la sensation d’espace comprim\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Le meilleur moment pour y venir : au printemps, lors de la fonte des neiges, ou apr\u00e8s un \u00e9pisode de pluie. En \u00e9t\u00e9 sec, le d\u00e9bit peut baisser significativement. Pour les photographes, la matin\u00e9e est \u00e0 pr\u00e9f\u00e9rer : en fin de journ\u00e9e, selon la saison, le soleil se couche derri\u00e8re la cascade et cr\u00e9e un contre-jour difficile \u00e0 travailler.<\/p>\n
Une aire de pique-nique est am\u00e9nag\u00e9e juste \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9. L’endroit se pr\u00eate bien \u00e0 une pause : on peut s’y installer sans avoir chemin\u00e9 longtemps. En revanche, la baignade est d\u00e9conseill\u00e9e pour des raisons de s\u00e9curit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Si vous souhaitez prolonger, un sentier balis\u00e9 de 2 km (environ 30 minutes, chemin large et plat) relie la Petite Cascade \u00e0 la Grande Cascade de Tendon \u2014 32 m\u00e8tres de chute, site class\u00e9 depuis 1910. Une boucle compl\u00e8te de 8 km depuis le col de Bonne Fontaine permet de relier les deux cascades et d’ajouter un passage aux Roches de la Brostille, belv\u00e9d\u00e8re sur le village de Tendon. Pratique \u00e0 savoir : si le parking de la Grande Cascade est complet en \u00e9t\u00e9, celui de la Petite Cascade (moins fr\u00e9quent\u00e9) peut servir de point de d\u00e9part pour y acc\u00e9der \u00e0 pied.<\/p>\n
Quelle que soit la saison, pr\u00e9voyer des chaussures \u00e0 semelles crochet\u00e9es : les abords des cascades sont glissants en automne sous les feuilles mouill\u00e9es, et franchement verglac\u00e9s en hiver.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":5842,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-5633","decouverte-vosges","type-decouverte-vosges","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges\/5633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decouverte-vosges"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/decouverte-vosges"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vosges-grandeur-nature.fr\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
