The starting point for many hikes, in summer and winter alike, Chinaillon reveals a mountain that is accessible, inhabited and always on the move. Between the lively mountain pastures and the open ridges, the paths lead to an encounter with nature that is both welcoming and unspoilt.
The old village, with its weathered wooden chalets – some over a hundred years old – bears witness to a local history that is still very much alive. Here, heritage is not just something you visit, it’s something you experience. L’Art Vache adds a quirky touch to the landscape, an artistic nod to mountain culture.
Between nature, heritage and culture, Chinaillon is an ideal place to explore the mountains in a different way, on foot or on snowshoes, depending on the season.
