Nestled in pastures at an altitude of 1,000 meters, Giron is the highest (and sunniest!) village in the Ain. Welcoming, with breathtaking views, it is ideal for an overnight stop.

A stronghold of resistance and an ancient milestone on the Sardinian road that led to the Netherlands in the 17th century. A very beautiful view of the Jura Mountains, too.

The promontory offers a sublime panorama of the Roche Fauconnière cirque. The site has been classified as a “sensitive natural area” since 1936. The 150 meter high cliff dominates the Semine valley and faces the Orvaz valley.

This stone not only offers superb views over the Crêt de Chalam sector, but it also marks a historic boundary. Originally it marked the border between the kingdoms of France, Spain and Italy, then between Franche-Comté and Bugey and now the administrative border between the departments of Jura and Ain.
