Aire Naturelle De Camping La Ferme Aux Cerisiers

As you’re in the middle of a splendid natural park, there’s plenty of outdoorsy stuff within easy reach to get stuck into: 560 kilometres of waymarked walking trails network the Pilat massif, with the neighbouring Pilat forest and beyond being spot on for walks of all sorts from gentle family ambles to challenging hikes. Also within seven kilometres are lakes and a summer pool for alfresco dips on scorching days. Should one be of a braver disposition, nerves of steel can be tested with the likes of clambering and swinging around the high ropes courses of Acrobois treetop adventure park half an hour’s drive away; viewsome gliding and paragliding flights from La Valla-en-Gier, and whizzes down the slopes of Graix on your mountain bike in summer or on skis in winter (there’s a handy ski lift to return you to the top after each and every daredevil descent). Hot air ballooning is also within easy reach. If you’re determined to stick firmly to the outdoors but want to bring it down a notch or two, horse riding and canoeing are available nearby, and an 18-hole golf course is 25 minutes’ drive from base.
