Extrépieraz rock climbing wall
The walls are all visible from the road to Ayas and have always been frequented by local mountain guides.

Minimum, maximum and average difficulty of the routes from 3c, to 7b, average 6b.
Total number of routes 37.
Average length is 20 metres, minimum 10 metres and maximum 80 metres.

PanoramaBrusson playground and lake
The Brusson lake is an unmissable destination for everyone. The little ones in particular will find along its shores a playground, a beach volleyball court and many meadows where they can run and have fun.
Those who enjoy walking can walk around the entire lake, passing over beautiful grassy areas and through a small stretch of forest. Or they can discover the small wetland area of the 'Goya de Tchmpats' from the wooden walkways and stop at another playground along the way.
