At night, you'll appreciate its bars, restaurants and night clubs.
Five kilometres up is the valley of 'Champagny le Haut', with 'Le Bois' as its main hamlet. It is a superb preserved valley, classified in "The Natural Monuments and Sites of France" for its beautiful countryside and the preserved architecture of its villages. (Ibexes can easily be seen in winter).
Champagny le Haut is more peaceful, with mostly cross-country skiers and families sledging with young kids. At night, many young people are climbing on the ice tower. "Le Refuge du Bois" restaurant is often full and a new one is opening soon.
