Giant's Kettles

Highlight • Natural Monument

Shortly before reaching Lake Vouglans, the Ain crosses rocks which create a series of waterfalls. From the bridge that crosses Pont-de-Poitte, the view of this strange limestone formation is superb.

Saut de la Saisse viewpoint

At Pont-de-Poitte, near the port of La Saisse, the Ain flows into Lake Vouglans. The river flowing through the rocks and gradually widening to form the famous 35 kilometer long body of water creates a beautiful landscape.

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.
