The impressive panorama of the Ain River at one of its widest points. The Ain is a river full of fish where trout are caught. Many birds populate the banks of the river: ducks, egrets, swans, herons, snipes. Beavers are also present, particularly in the lower reaches (Lower Ain valley).

The Saint-Nithier church in Clairvaux-les-Lacs is a Romanesque style church with a double-decker dome bell tower dedicated to Saint Nithier. It is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed on Mondays. Masses are not very frequent, if you want to see one, it is better to consult the schedule here: https://theodia.org/fr?place=6327

(Note: Shouldn't it be called 'Cascade de Vulvoz'?) This waterfall is beautiful! Also in October. We did not encounter any other hikers during the entire route, even at the waterfall we were completely alone. We started 'upstairs', also recommended. There are still walls with some windows still standing. And you see a bowl hollowed out by the water. Then we walked down - a slippery, steep path indeed. We thought it was worth it.

To take photos from below of the waterfall, you should be an experienced climber
