Splash & splash refreshing swims

Nestling between mountains and greenery, the Îles du Chéran leisure park in Lescheraines is sure to provide some cool family moments.

Add a picnic in the shade of the trees or a barbecue break, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect afternoon.

Canyoning & Aquarando fresh emotions guaranteed

Jumps, natural slides, abseiling down waterfalls… Canyoning in the Massif des Bauges is pure adrenalin. Supervised by professionals, you’ll make your way through scenery sculpted by water, between rocks and torrents. Thrills and laughter guaranteed!

For a gentler approach, but just as immersive, try the aquarando. From the age of 8 upwards, this fun aquatic trek plunges you into a refreshing world, to be experienced as a tribe. The white water becomes your exploration ground.

Book your supervised outing for a cocktail of nature, fun and safety.

Climbing & Via Ferrata get some height

At Aillons-Margériaz, you can discover the vertical at your own pace, in a safe, supervised environment. Thanks to the local guides, who are passionate about their work and teaching, you can learn to climb or improve your skills with complete peace of mind.

We’ve fallen in love with the Nant de Rossane via ferrata ‘school’!

Located at an altitude of 1,000 m, on the right bank of the Col du Martinet, it offers a progressive route perfectly suited to beginners. With sections of increasing difficulty and a panoramic view over the resort, it’s ideal for a first contact with the rock… or for (re)gaining confidence.

discovering the other side of the mountain Caving

Focus on
Potholing at Tanne du Névé

Ready to play explorer? The Tanne du Névé caving expedition takes you through a mysterious landscape shaped by water and time. Ideal for a first underground experience, it combines walking and exploring underground.

After a 30-minute approach in the middle of nowhere, it’s time for 1h30-2h of exploration. With helmet and headlamp on, take one step at a time, observe the concretions and feel the humidity and silence of the rock. It’s a sensory immersion that combines curiosity and wonder.

Two options: on your own, well equipped, or accompanied by a qualified guide for a serene experience. Practicalities: the cave can be visited from spring to autumn, with a constant temperature of 10°C.

What you need
Helmet – headlamp + batteries – warm clothing – sturdy shoes – thin gloves.
👉 Hire your equipment before the trip.

The multi-sports area the chill & sport spot

Want to get moving without having to go hiking? The Aillons-Margériaz multi-sports area is waiting for you: ping-pong, pétanque, football, basketball, volleyball, fitness… there’s something for every taste and every level. A friendly atmosphere guaranteed!

The little extra? Picnic tables, water points, waste sorting bins, nearby parking… Everything you need to have a great time with family or friends, without any headaches.

An absolute must between two hikes!

Fishing in the Bauges nature and patience

65 km of crystal-clear rivers, 3 lakes nestling in a dream setting… The Massif des Bauges is an angler’s paradise. Fario trout, no-kill runs, “catch and release” zones: there’s plenty to keep anglers happy.

Whether you prefer a wild river or a peaceful stretch of water, you’ll need a fishing licence (info at cheranterredepeche.com). And above all, take your time: here, silence is golden, and nature knows how to be generous.

On your rods… ready? Get fishing!

Pump track full speed ahead!

A circuit full of bumps and sharp bends that you can ride without pedalling?

Welcome to the pump track at Aillons-Margériaz!

The idea is to “pump” with your arms and legs to keep up the speed… and do one lap after another like a real “Baujus rider”.

Free of charge and accessible to riders aged 8 and over, this ultra-fun spot will appeal to beginners and thrill-seekers alike.

Helmets compulsory, knee pads recommended: here, we ride, but we remain cautious.
