Haut Valromey

The landscape around Haut Valromey is defined by wooded slopes and high pastures in the southern Jura Mountains, which have shaped both its scattered settlement pattern and its pastoral and forestry economy. The commune occupies part of the Valromey, an upland valley in the Ain department where hamlets sit among fields, forest and limestone terrain. Created in 2016, Haut Valromey united the former communes of Belmont-Luthézieu, Lompnieu, Sutrieu and Vieu. Vieu retains traces of a Gallo-Roman past, including remains of an aqueduct, adding an ancient dimension to this quiet corner of Bugey.
