Ain Viewpoint

Highlight • Other

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).

Pyle Bridge

Highlight • Lake

The Pyle bridge is a monumental building 385 meters long and 65 meters high above water level. It spans Lake Vouglans and connects the towns of Maisod and Orgelet.

It is equipped with two sidewalks allowing pedestrians to cross it safely. And it's worth it as the view is clear. Spectacular panorama in perspective.
