Nature is king here and makes it a true mountain paradise in all seasons. This plateau has made the reputation of the small mountain village of Brison, which guarantees great breaths of fresh air in winter, on the cross-country skiing domain, as well as in summer with beautiful hikes crowned by the famous Pointe d'Andey. As for cycling enthusiasts, they will be delighted by the climb up the Col de Solaison pass, with its majestic landscapes.
