The Guardian of Pic d'Oliferne

Highlight • Historical Site

In addition to its view of Lake Coiselet, the Oliferne peak is distinguished by a strange sculpture which stands in the middle of the ruins, like a guardian watching over a castle.

Restaurant le Pont

Highlight • Restaurant

A café in the small village of Thierette. It is a very beautiful place next to the Ain river. It's just over the river and a nice place to take a break.
