Chambod Island
Description
What's more fun than spending a nice day with family or friends at the water's edge? Chambod Island, a haven of peace in the countryside, on the banks of the Ain river, in the heart of the Gorges de l'Ain.
Chambod Island is clear water between the mountains, an island of 20 hectares with breathtaking scenery, activities for all.
On the program: natural swimming in the Gorges de l'Ain, between the mountains, and gourmet break (s) on the terrace!
It is also a waterway navigable over 15 km, a beach equipped with supervised swimming and pontoons for water sports (windsurfing, canoeing, paddle boat, paddle ...) or departures of walks or of hikes.
The river Ain is divided into two arms around an expanse of land called Chambod Island. Located between the limestone cliffs of Balvay and Jarbonnet, this body of water was born from the construction of the dam Allement.
