Ardon: Holiday Apartments and Homes
The Circuit de la Michaille is a moderately challenging 12 km circular route with 327 m of ascent. In clear weather, the trail offers views of the Alps and the Jura. It leads along the Chemin de la Combe de Vaux to Ardon after passing a quarry on the left.
Those who choose Ardon as their travel destination may want to rent a holiday apartment.
Hiking
The Sentier botanique d’Ardon begins above the centre of Châtillon-en-Michaille on the road to the Plateau de Retord. The hike takes one and a half hours, is 2.6 km long, and passes tree species from the region and elsewhere.
The Tour des Prés is a 12 km run at the foothills of the Plateau de Retord. It passes through the hamlet of Ardon; the final kilometre then runs downhill along the road to the salle polyvalente.
Event
The 2026 edition of the Trail de la Michaille was the 11th edition.
Culture and History
The restored Chapelle Saint-Michel stands in Ardon. It is located in the heart of the hamlet of Ardon and is part of the cultural heritage of the Pays bellegardien that is well worth discovering.
At the beginning of the path of the Arboretum d’Ardon stand century-old trees planted by schoolchildren to raise money for their school.
The site of a former quarry in Ardon bears witness to the work of the hamlet’s stonemasons. The particularly hard stone blocks from the quarries of Ardon were worked by hand by local villagers and then transported on horse-drawn trailers.
