Thurignin Gorges

Highlight • River

These gorges are particularly fascinating when the water flow is significant. My recommendation is to come and admire this jewel of Ain in spring, when the snow melts.

Pont de La Balme

Highlight • Bridge

Small detour from the ViaRhôna from Virignin and a short climb, but the view from the old Rhône bridge is worth it!

The Thurignin Gorges

Highlight • Gorge

An easy walk, too difficult for me on a mountain bike, there is too much root and the path is narrow.

Magnificent "water canyon" dug into the rock by the liquid element...

Beautiful bridge, but the road is very busy and the gorge is not enjoyable. A sensible solution should be found soon.
