00:00And today I'm taking you with me to find the biggest gushing waterfall that we can find.
00:14Let's go!
00:28I'm in the French Alps at the end of the ski season and it is 25 degrees Celsius.
00:33There is no more skiing to be done. We're going to explore the mountains in a different way.
00:37All of the snow is melting, which means the waterfalls are gushing.
00:40I'm going to take you to find the biggest waterfall.
00:44I've rented myself a bike. I bought the only pair of shorts that they had.
00:47Let's see if we can find the biggest gushing waterfall of the French Alps.
00:50Doing trails like this, you've got to pay such close attention to the way you're cycling,
00:55but you can't enjoy the views around you as much.
01:00I need a big strong man for these parts.
01:08This is stunning. Take a look at this view.
01:23This thing is enormous and I'm already getting wet.
01:27It does take a little bit of hiking to get to. We're nearly there.
01:33So powerful. The air and the water coming off of it takes your breath away. It's cold.
01:57No wonder there's no skiing. There's a lot of snow.
02:03It's incredible. Kind of treacherous coming down from it because it's quite slippy underfoot.
02:10All of the rocks, of course, are wet. Trying to take care and not fall as I go.
02:16Safely made it. Now let's see if we can find another. Safety first. Helmet on.
02:26That first waterfall was definitely a 10 out of 10. Absolute gusher. And now we're heading to our
02:32second waterfall. This is right beside one of the longest ski runs in Europe. The ski run is called
02:37the Cascade Run because it goes down beside a huge waterfall. I'm hoping that with this sun,
02:43this heat, this weather, that waterfall will also be a gusher. There's still some snow left at the bottom
02:48of the ski run. It's getting steep. I can see the waterfall. It's enormous. We've got a snow cannon
02:55that keeps blasting the snow out during the season to try and keep the slope open for
02:58as long as possible, which makes sense given this tiny little patch of snow underneath it. Shorts and
03:05a tiny little crop top in snow today and sweating hot. This was not on my bingo card. We might
03:12have
03:12topped our last waterfall, guys. This is enormous. I'm excited. Just a little longer.
03:22Look at this. This is amazing.
03:40We found another one up through these trees here, but on another little forest route,
03:46another little trap. And if you look through, it's really, it's just so picturesque. It looks like
03:53this really cute little trap. So come with me. You can hear it. It's getting loud. You see the river
03:59coming down from it. It's a little obstacle course. I see it. Wow. Have a look. That's fantastic.
04:10Okay. This one is powerful. It's smaller than the others, but it feels more powerful. I think it's got
04:15a bigger drop. Let's get closer. Waterfall number three. Yep. That's a good one.
04:28This is the sort of thing my mum would be telling me off for. Get out. No, that's probably good
04:32advice.
04:33Oh, it's so strong. Ah, I'm getting so wet.
04:55It's becoming really quite hard to rate these waterfalls. Every single one of them is so impressive.
05:00As much as one of them is impressive for one way, like it's really wide. There's so much water.
05:08The next one is just as impressive, but in a completely different way. This one
05:11was not as big as the others, but it was so powerful. I'm going to have to address my rating
05:16system. Try to figure out where they stand against one another. The power of the first one actually does
05:21still, I think, make it my favorite. That one's a 10. The second was an eight. I think this was
05:26also an
05:26eight. Eight out of 10 gushing. One more to go. Let's find out what that's like. Safety first.
05:31My worst nightmare is something that happened to my mum when she was young. She flipped over her
05:36handlebars, broke her nose and smashed her face up. I don't know if her helmet is going to protect
05:41me from that, but I like to think so. I think she actually was wearing a helmet at the time,
05:44so
05:45we just pray to the stick gods not to send me over the edge of my bike.
05:57Hi everybody, this is Future Nat. I forgot to turn my microphone on.
06:05This last waterfall was not as successful as the previous waterfalls because I wasn't able to get
06:09to the bottom of it. I was only able to get probably within 20 meters and there was a lot
06:14of foliage and
06:15trees between me and the waterfall. So the final shot that I was able to get of it was good
06:21from the
06:22perspective of my phone, like I could zoom in on it well for you guys, but I really couldn't see
06:25that much.
06:26So I wasn't really able to rate the gushability of it in as successful a way as I was with
06:33the
06:33others. I think that those first three waterfalls of the four were fantastic. So I think that overall
06:38we've had a really successful day. Thank you for watching and I'll see you guys soon. Take care!
