The Orlier  Waterfall:  situated on the border between  Magland and Sallanches , it comes from the water that rushed into the grooves of the desert of Platé.

 The Magland  Cliffs: these formidable cliffs ,overlooking  Magland  from the east, are riddled with caves where recent archeological digs have unearthed polished stone axes, decorated bone pins and plaques and objects in bronze that, together with the many pre-Latin place names, bear witness that the area was settled in antiquity.
