Tips
The Roches de Châtollion is a hill with a series of rock cliffs that form the top of an anticline, a fold in the earth's crust. The rocks consist of limestone that was deposited on the sea floor around 100 million years ago and was then uplifted by the formation of the Jura mountains. The hill is covered in a varied forest of oak, beech and lime trees, as well as dry meadows with many rare plants and animals. The Roches de Châtollion are a protected landscape of national importance and a popular hiking destination. You can enjoy spectacular views of the Three Lakes area from the top of the cliffs, but be careful not to get too close to the edge as it is very steep.
