• Take a leap into the past, by strolling the streets of the medieval town of Alby-sur-Chéran!

Nestled at the foot of the Semnoz, at the gateway to the Massif des Bauges and 18 km from our hotel, this charming village with a medieval feel, reveals its history as it meanders through the arcades and meanders of the Chéran River bordering it.

Discover behind the ramparts of this former capital of shoemaking: the Museum of Shoemaking (in memory of its illustrious past), the church of Notre-Dame de Plaimpalais and the Ciergerie Blanchet (former candle-making workshop).
 

• Vertiginous discovery from the Chaos du Chéran!

Only 23 km from our establishment, the Chaos du Chéran is an unmissable place to explore during your visit to the Pays d'Alby!

This exceptional geosite offers you a nice steep walk, composed of wild landscapes, coolness (ideal in summer), and grandiose panoramas from the Bridge of the Abyss. The latter suspended in the air, overhangs the Chéran from 96 meters high.
