The Côte de Gargantua Nature Reserve is a protected area that preserves an imposing moraine ridge, a testament to the ancient glacier that shaped the valley. Guided tours lead to the discovery of this unique environment, among woods, meadows and rocky outcrops that tell the geological history of the territory. Completing the route, the Maison Gargantua, an ancient rural house in the Moline hamlet transformed into an ethnographic museum. Inside, objects of peasant life, tools and furnishings are displayed, restoring the atmosphere of the rural civilization of Gressan. The tours, led by qualified mountain guides, are designed for everyone and present no technical difficulties. An opportunity to get to know the natural heritage and local traditions up close, in an initiative that runs from August 2026 to June 2027.
