Natural sites and sport activities

 

You will not discover them by accident! The natural sites of Valromey have been skillfully hidden by mother nature, but most of them are still pretty accessible… This magical and surprising locations are saved in a GPS that we shall lend you gladly, allowing you to discover our natural sites easily.

Leave for a bike tour or motorcycle ride to get wet in Jura’s and Savoie’s lakes! The bravest could challenge the Cold du Grand Colombier (listed as “out of category” by the Tour de France).

In addition to these treasures built by nature you will find attraction created by the inhabitants: swimming pools, thermal baths, “vélo-rail” and many installations dedicated to winter sports.
