Beaujolais Vert Wind Farm

Highlight • Structure

The Beaujolais Vert wind farm is the 1st wind farm in the Rhône department. It is made up of four wind turbines and can meet the annual electricity consumption of 13,000 people. Four years of study were necessary to build this park with respect for the environment.

Roches Blanches orientation table

Highlight • Viewpoint

This orientation table offers a beautiful 180 degree panorama from Villefranche-sur-Saône to Tarare. You enjoy a view of the Monts du Lyonnais, the Monts de Tarare, the Monts d'Or, the Pilat, and even on the massifs of the Vercors and the Alps on a clear day.

Panissière Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

This private chapel was built in 1909 and was restored in 2000. It is surmounted by the Virgin which recalls that of the Basilica of Fourvière in Lyon. Located 300 meters above sea level, it dominates the Azergues valley.

Château de Pramenoux

Highlight • Castle

This fortified castle was originally a fortified house built in the 14th century on the foundations of a Greco-Roman villa. Rebuilt in the 17th and 19th centuries following fires, the castle retains the remains of each of these eras. Ideally located at the foot of a dense forest, it overlooks the valleys bordering the Azergues and sees the small Lyzeron stream crossing its domain. It is now a very beautiful table d'hôte and reception.

Col de la Croix Nicelle

Mountain Pass

79.0 km

Col de Favardy (862 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice pass to do from the Azergues valley via St Nizier and the Col de la Croix Nicelle: until the Croix Nicelle the percentages are around 7/8% then the final flattens out. From Ranchal or from St Vincent de Reins via St Bonnet le Troncy, the climbs are less complicated but long because the pass is quite high at 862 m. The view at the top is non-existent but the forest atmosphere can be appreciable in foggy weather which gives it a mysterious atmosphere. Many gravel or mountain bike trails converge here and the GR7 passes by.

Col du Pavillon

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The pass of the pavilion culminates at 755 meters above sea level. The view of the western slope is quite unobstructed. I recommend a stop at the Le Pavillon hostel-hotel, which offers good food and allows you to take a break after climbing the pass.

Lac des Sapins

Lake

103 km

Fir Lake

Highlight • Lake

Lac des Sapins offers the largest biological swimming pool in Europe. It is located 440 meters above sea level in the heart of Beaujolais Vert. This environment is special since it has a space dedicated to swimming and a space for aquatic plants that purify, oxygenate and naturally regenerate the quality of the water. This place offers a thousand and one possibilities; hikes, bike rides, horseback riding or water activities you will not be outdone in this green setting.
