Moirans-En-Montagne can be explored through a range of interests: the Musée du Jouet combines a collection of games and toys with a section on the history of video games, while walking trails and outdoor activities offer different highlights. The Moirans-En-Montagne tourist office is located in the Musée du Jouet. This makes it a useful point of reference in a building with its own collection and video game section. For planning, it helps to distinguish between playful walking trails, a hiking route rated as difficult, and a via ferrata with seasonal access restrictions.
Toys, video games and architectural heritage
The Musée du Jouet presents a collection of 2,000 games and toys from every country and era. The “Game Story” section also explores the history of video games. This brings together a broad look at toys and games and a dedicated focus on video game history. The museum offers activities, events and performances for all age groups throughout the year. The program may vary depending on the holiday period; if you have a specific date in mind, it is worth checking the latest information.
The Church of Saint-Nicolas is one of the historic monuments dating from the 15th century. This adds an architectural point of interest to the themes of play and video game history. The attractions therefore have different focuses: the collection and its themes on the one hand, and a building with historic character on the other. If you are interested in culture, you can take these two aspects into account separately when planning your trip.
Walking trails and hiking
The family-friendly, playful walking trails are called “Les 7 Contes en balades”. They offer a different way to explore Moirans-En-Montagne from a hike with a specified difficulty rating and distance. Their playful focus is a key distinction: they are aimed at families, while the information about La voie Romaine depuis Moirans mainly describes its distance, difficulty and route.
La voie Romaine depuis Moirans is 20.5 kilometres long and rated as difficult. The route crosses the Plateau du Sapey and follows an old Roman road. It therefore combines two distinct features: a scenic route across the plateau and a connection to the course of an old road. The difficult rating is also important when choosing a route. It makes this hike a different kind of outdoor activity from the playful walking trails.
Via ferrata: route features and seasonal closure
The Via ferrata du Regardoir is 350 metres long. Its features include a 90-metre footbridge, two ladders and a suspension bridge. Depending on the variant chosen, its difficulty rating ranges from AD to D. The rating therefore depends on the variant and is a separate point of reference for planning, alongside the route features described.
Access to the via ferrata is prohibited from 15 February to 15 June. The cliff is subject to a biotope protection order to protect the peregrine falcon. Take this seasonal restriction into account when choosing your dates; also check the latest opening information before your trip.
For events, bear in mind that the program may vary depending on the holiday period; the stated closure period applies to the via ferrata. This makes it possible to choose your travel dates based on the interests that matter most to you.
