Among reed beds and wet meadows, visitors can walk through the Marais du Pontet along footbridges and boardwalks, as well as to the discovery areas.

The route passes through the forest of Le Pontet.

The Circuit du Cucheron is suitable for families.

The descent to the sources of the Gargoton and the subsequent ascent to the Col de la Perrière via the Combe de l’Arbet neuf are described as very wild and unspoilt.

The Sentier des Chevaliers de Hüille is a family-friendly circular hiking trail that connects the wetlands of Bourget-en-Huile and Le Pontet.

The ascent from Le Pontet to the Col du Champet on stage 2 of the GR®738 runs mainly through forest.

Culture

The Saint-Nicolas church in Le Pontet was rebuilt between 1830 and 1833 in the shape of a Latin cross.

It is only very rarely open, for funerals and for the annual Mass in August.

The altarpiece and the murals in the Saint-Nicolas church are considered unique in the canton.
