LE SENTIER DE LA RECULÉE DE CORVEISSIAT IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED (municipal by-law attached to website).
Public traffic is prohibited between the cave access path and the footbridge, until DECEMBER 31, 2025.
Emblematic of the Jura mountains, the reculées are worlds apart. Setting off along this path and coming face to face with this imposing porch is always spectacular, or following this torrent down to the Rivière d'Ain amidst the moss remains magical.
