The Guiers Vif is a river in France that runs in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region . It rises in the Chartreuse Regional Nature Park , on the municipal boundary of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont (Isère) and Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont (Savoie) , drains generally in a north-westerly direction, and forms the border river between the departments for almost its entire route Isère and Savoie and, after 17 kilometers, flows into the Guiers on the municipal boundary of Entre-deux-Guiers and Les Échelles as a right tributary , which was previously called Guiers Mort . Often the Guiers Vif is not viewed as a tributary, but as the source of the Guiers.

The Guiers Vif rises in the Chartreusegebirge of the karst spring Sources du Guiers Vif (Eng. Quellen des Guiers Vif), on the northern slope of the mountain Lances de Malissard (2045 m). The river emerges from a large cave portal and other small caves and then plunges down three waterfalls and subsequent cascades . The pouring of the spring caves fluctuates strongly. The Guiers Vif runs through sometimes narrow and steep gorges with rock faces.
