Cascade des Dards

Highlight • Waterfall

Great hike with magical landscapes, however, there is a big downside on the last 3 kilometers on the departmental road with heavy rolling. Avoid with children who are too small and not used to hiking. Some passages are not easy, do not leave without suitable equipment (especially shoes)

Lake Virieu

Highlight • Other

Nice lake with a small beach. Don't forget your bathing suit.
There is also a nice playground for the children.
