Chapelle gothique du 14e siècle au toit de pierre. Du haut de la falaise, on jouit, à plus de 250 mètres, d’un panorama sur le château de Conflans (13e) qui gardait autrefois la frontière comtoise, et sur le confluent de l’Ain et de la Valouse.Depuis la chapelle, partez à la recherche des ruines du château de Mont Didier du 13e siècle en cours de fouilles par des archéologues. Panorama remarquable. (Prudence recommandée) A proximité : Château de Conflans (propriété privée) flanqué sur un mamelon au confluant de la rivière d’Ain et de la Valouze.

14th-century Gothic chapel with a stone-tiled roof. From the clifftop, more than 250m high, you have a panoramic view of Conflans Castle (13th c.) built to keep watch over the borders of Franche-Comté and the confluence of the Ain and Valouse.

LE SENTIER DE LA RECULÉE DE CORVEISSIAT EST FERMÉ TEMPORAIREMENT (Arrêté municipal en pj), suite à des chutes d'arbres répétées (closure entre la passerelle de la reculée et les escaliers ves la grotte).With its imposing cliffs and grotto, this retreat is one of the most remarkable sites in the Revermont region. Its porch is 30 meters high. Remarkable views. Guided tour in summer. Family-friendly mini-tour. The Corveissiat cave and retreat was awarded the "ENS" label by the Département de l'Ain in 2014. True natural and landscaped jewels of the Ain department, sites awarded the ENS "Espaces naturels sensibles" label are managed in such a way as to preserve the biodiversity they host, and developed for opening to the public (barring exceptions due to the fragility of the environments). The Ain mountains, generally limestone, are split, fractured, bent and folded on all sides. Over the centuries, run-off water has infiltrated the rock, slowly widening the cracks and gradually forming an underground network of galleries and cavities. These landscapes are one of the major features of Ain's natural heritage. On the surface, they model fissures, dolines, losses and chasms. A particularly rare fauna is associated with this type of landscape, including birds of prey and rock birds.
