Mountain walking at all levels. Gentle strolls in the village, a 4 hour round trip to the top of Les Memises for the view, or down to the Lake shore and back for tea.
Something for the more serious walker is the GR5 route and it's variants that can be accessed from many of the connecting mountain trails in the area. The cabin lift can be used in the summer to take you from the village into the mountains. (Open June-Aug. September operation undecided.)
