Tips from the Community

Michel CONVERSET
June 4, 2026, Point de vue sur le lac de Vouglans

Non-glacial lake, but artificial, filled in 1968 (Vouglans dam) swallowing the Wild Valley of the Ain river and three villages! But... superb body of water and protected region! To do: complete tour (80 kms), South 1/2 tour sometimes quite technical, and North 1/2 tour (fun), or even West coast from Orgelet-Plaisair or East side from Maisod - Coyron! Nice ride MC

Magnificent lake of glacial origin, at the foot of the first plateau of the Jura massif. Beautiful view of the turquoise lagoon from the sailing club.
