The ONF and the community of communes Bugey Sud propose you a walk to discover the "Réserve Biologique Intégrale de la Griffe du Diable" (Devil's Claw Integral Biological Reserve) to discover the natural habitats, the fauna and the flore of this exceptional forest.
An RBI (Réserve Biologique Intégrale) is a type of protected area located in a forest, with the aim of protecting habitats or species that are particularly representative of the forest environment.
They have a status distinct from that of national park reserves.
The Griffe du Diable RBI is managed by the ONF.
An ONF technician will explain the importance of dead wood and trees with cavities in maintaining a rich biodiversity and will present the various inventories carried out and the initial results.
This visit is organised in collaboration with the Communauté de communes Bugey-Sud, manager of the ENS Grand Colombier, and the Tourist Office.
The tour includes a return journey from the site's reception car park (on the Arvière forest road).
Please bring walking shoes and appropriate clothing, depending on the weather.
Visits by appointment only, subject to availability.
The exact meeting point will be given to you when you book.
