Natural Site
Val de Consolation
Rich in impressive flora and fauna, the Cirque de Consolation invites you to recharge your batteries.
Many emblematic species reside in this preserved natural area: lynx, chamois, bats, kites, peregrine falcons, owls...
Near the rivers, the dipper may honour you with his presence.
The Cirque de Consolation is a huge playground and lends itself to various sporting and cultural adventures for all:
- Hiking and its 80 kilometres of trails: Two loops starting from the monastery are marked out. Mountain bike and trail trails are also available.
- Guided cultural and sporting tours are organised in summer.
- For the sporty: you can venture out on the many hiking trails.
- For culture lovers: discover the history of the monastery and the chapel and recharge your batteries with a walk in the gardens and at the Lançot waterfall.
- For children: a treasure hunt will take them to discover the natural treasures of the Val de Consolation.
* To be noted: The Lançot waterfall is not always in water. Linked to a water table, the waterfall depends on the water level. When the water table overflows, it feeds the waterfall.
Nouvelle prestation
RE-ENERGISING IN THE CONSOLATION VALLEY
The remarkable natural site of the Consolation valley can be found at the entrance to the Dessoubre steephead
valley. Deep in this valley hides a monastery, a cloister, a chapel and their gardens. In this unspoilt ecosystem with
a slightly spiritual feel, people come to explore along the multiple hiking trails, admire the views and waterfalls, or to enjoy a rich programme of responsible events: concerts with drinks, music festivals, local markets, storytelling walks, yoga with brunch, etc.
