For those who prefer walks, Abondance offers several marked snowshoe circuits and outings with guides. For Nordic activities, go to the "Lac des Plagnes" area for cross-country skiing, sled dogs and ski joëring.
In summer, nature is your playground! Hiking, mountain biking, electric MTB, adventure park...
Abundance is also a holiday full of discoveries with an exceptional abbey site (church, cloister and museum of religious art), and an interpretation center about Abondance cheese : the "Maison du Fromage Abondance".
After a day filled with emotions, you will discover the local cuisine and particularly the "berthoud", a specialty of the valley made from AOC Abundance cheese.
