A preserved and easily accessible natural environment awaits you in a land oflakes and hills. You will find the diversity of places to visit enchanting: lakes,waterfalls, rivers, caves, viewpoints…
Some sites like the Plateau of 7 lakes and Hérisson waterfalls are classified asa « great natural site ».In low moutains, the wealth of its ecosystems has led to proposing this land as one of the largest Natura 2000 sites in France.
our nature :
WaterfallsThe Hérisson
waterfallsGreat natural site (B8)The Hérisson (805 m altitude) isinstalled in a valley surroundedby cliffs. The course of itswaters (15 km) rushes down thebackwater in a series of 31 fallsbefore crossing Lakes Val andChambly. The Hérisson thusdescends 280 m over a distanceof 3 km. This is the opportunityfor a walk on the path along theriver (7.5 km one way and return/ 2 hours and fifty minutes to see
all the falls). There you canadmire the multitude of water-falls, basins and caves meetingyour eyes. At every step of the journey, takethe time to listen to the soothingsound of running water (at Sautof Moulin Jeunet, Saut of Forge,Saut of Château Garnier or GourBleu)... Or to gaze at the impres-sive Cascade of Éventail (65m),Grand Saut (60m) and SautGirard (35m) waterfalls. Bravest people can pass underthe Grand Saut, whose form islike a tail of horse!Pay attention to the ruins ofcereal mills, old ironwork andnail factories (From the 15thCentury, the valley had a strong
historical background, usingwater energy).On the path, you will find theLacuzon cave, which was theheadquarters of the famouscaptain Lacuzon while fightingfor independence of theFranche – Comtéregion in the
17th Century.For more detailed information,you can visit the house ofwaterfalls located next tocascade of Éventail (infor-mation screens, museogra-phic space).
Waterfall ofQuinquenouille (G3)A marked path (8.5 km)leaving Chatonnay(direction Dramelay)will make you disco-ver this nice fall (35m.) as well as thesmall medieval brid-ge going over theDard.
Giants passing and fall ofSaisse (C5)In Pont de Poitte, at the level ofthe bridge crossing the village,stop for a moment and look atthe “Giants’ Cauldron”. In reali-ty, these whirlpools were for-med over time thanks to thecombined forces of the Ainrapids and stones that byrepeated friction dug out therock. In the harbour of Saisse,you will discover the spectacu-lar way that the Ain falls intoLake Vouglans: this is the
Saisse fall,well known tofishermen. Itis mostimpressive inwinter.
Pratical information about Hérisson walk (open all year):• Time and distance of the whole path: 2h50 / 7.8 km / 255 metres of difference in height. You can

lain.com). Nice point of viewfrom belvedere of Fontenu.

Under the water ofthe latter, the remains of a laketown have been discovered(exhibition in summer in « salledes fêtes »). Next to the village,the grand lake has a lot of facili-ties for lovers of water activities(handicap access to water).

Dinosaurs tracks - COISIA (I4)140 million years ago, the Coisiaregion had a tropical climate.There was a beach or a lagoon(like the ones in the Bahamas)instead of the fields, cliffs andforests that there are now. Ashallow sea covered the regionand sand banks sometimesappeared when the sea levelwas low. Herds of dinosaurs insearch of food wandered overthese sand banks and leftimprints in the mud. In 2004,tracks of dinosaurs (kind ofdiplodocus) were discovered.The access to the site is notlayed out. The site is on the bor-der of a road and can be dange-rous for walkers. Watch yourchildren and be very careful.
