Departing from the emblematic Île Chambod, a veritable jewel case of greenery set in the meandering Ain, this hike invites you to take to the skies. The climb begins along the steep paths of the Côte to reach the Val de Buenc.
📍 Course highlights
Le Belvédère de la Crête: This is the highlight of the show. From this natural promontory, the plunging view over the Gorges de l'Ain is vertiginous. The panorama embraces the curves of the river, revealing all the wild majesty of the valley.
Heritage and history: To prolong the pleasure, a return trip to the charming village of Challes is a must. As you wander through its peaceful lanes, you'll come across its traditional washhouse, a precious reminder of rural life in days gone by, ideal for a nostalgic, refreshing break.
