Leisure activities on the spot |
Using the guesthouse as a starting point you can set off on a nature walk, mountain bike trail or take to the road with your road bicycle :
You choose the hike you wish to do :
The trail of the 4 lakes, the Cascades du Hérisson (waterfalls), the Pic de l’Aigle (mountain peak of the Jura mountain range at 933m) and/or the trail leading to the lookout point over the 4 lakes.
We can propose various routes according to your desires: be it for a daily excursion or just a simple stroll (GR559 behind the house).
We also place at your disposal topographical guides, excursions cards for mountain bike trails and cycle tourism and I.G.N maps (detailed hiking and tourism maps). Moreover we rent out mountain bikes (adult, children, with baby carrier) and we have a garage available for our guests for the safe keeping of their bicycles.
During one of your hikes in the forest, you might be fortunate to observe the following animals: roe-deer, chamois or even a lynx (very rare!). Or the typical odour of the forests in autumn will inspire you to take along a basket in the search for edible mushrooms.

Baignade au lac d'Ilay
Pêche à IlayYou will appreciate our lakes not only because they are an essential component of our beautiful landscape but also because at the end of a day’s hiking or simply during a sunny summers day you will be able to refresh yourself by swimming in clear waters reaching up to 24° in summer.
Fishing in our lakes and nearby rivers
Fishermen are able to devote themselves entirely to their pastime in the Lakes Ilay or Narlay. Our lakes offer an interesting fishing experience with a large variety of species (pike, carp, roach, perch, etc…), and different fishing techniques. The closest rivers like La Saine or La Lemme are famous for their trout fishing.
We sell fishing permits for the Lake Narlay (one day permits 4 euro or weekly permits 12 euro) and can offer you a storage room for all your fishing equipment.
For more information on all the other lakes and rivers please consult www.peche-jura.com
In the winter, the trails and paths are accessible with snowshoes and the frozen lakes can be transformed into vast, white surfaces or natural ice-skating rinks.
