Since the 1950s, the Lac de Chalain property of the Jura. On the flood plain on the eastern shore of the lake, a tourism center with a campsite and leisure facilities have been built. Especially in summer, the lake is an attraction for water sports enthusiasts and hikers from the near and far. On the west bank two stilt houses were reconstructed. From the cliffs there are also beautiful views of the Lac de Chalain.
