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).

The Saint-Nithier church in Clairvaux-les-Lacs is a Romanesque style church with a double-decker dome bell tower dedicated to Saint Nithier. It is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed on Mondays. Masses are not very frequent, if you want to see one, it is better to consult the schedule here: https://theodia.org/fr?place=6327

A first part moderately difficult and after that it gets simpler. A pleasant climb!
