La Grande Cascade de Barberine est une belle cascade située à une altitude de 1324 mètres au-dessus du petit hameau de Barberine, à l'extrémité nord-est de la vallée de Vallorcine, près de la frontière avec la Suisse. La cascade fait partie du Torrent de Barberine, une petite rivière qui prend sa source au barrage d'Émosson. Avant la construction du barrage en 1924, le débit du Torrent de Barberine était beaucoup plus fort et la cascade beaucoup plus grande. Le Torrent de Barberine marque la frontière entre la France et la Suisse. En aval de la Grande Cascade de Barberine, vous trouverez la Petite Cascade de Barberine près du hameau de Barberine. Le Torrent de Barberine, y compris ses deux cascades, est devenu une destination populaire pour le canyoning.
