Antey-Saint-André: Discover Nature, Trails and Culture
Accommodation in Antey-Saint-André
Exploring the Sports Area
The Anello area sportiva - Fiernaz circular trail is suitable for everyone and can also be walked with a stroller. Benches are located along the trail, making it possible to take a break during the walk. Upon returning to the sports area, a picnic is possible at the Aula Verde. When planning the day, the break can either take place on a bench along the way or at the Aula Verde upon returning. Anyone planning the circular trail in Antey-Saint-André as a separate outing can use the sports area as a reference point for the return and the Aula Verde as a place to take a break.

Natural Areas and Mountains in the Surroundings
Le petit coin nature in Filey is a restored wetland near the sports area of Antey-Saint-André. Its proximity to the sports area spatially connects this natural area with the section to which the circular trail leads back. In the immediate surroundings of Antey-Saint-André are Becca d'Aver, a mountain, and Saint Evence, a peak. Cima Livournea is a peak in the surroundings of Antey-Saint-André, while Grand Tournalin is also a mountain in the surroundings of Antey-Saint-André. Around Antey-Saint-André, there is therefore a restored wetland as well as mountains and peaks in different spatial contexts.
Parish Church of Sant'Andrea and Regional Culture
The parish church of Sant'Andrea dates from the mid-15th century. Its two side aisles were added in the 17th century. Its appearance includes a worked-stone portal and a walnut-wood door with carvings in a diamond-point motif. Further Baroque-style decorations were also added. The two side aisles therefore belong to a later construction phase than the church building from the mid-15th century. The stone portal and walnut-wood door bring worked stone, walnut wood and carving together in a place of worship.
Castello di Ussel is located in the surroundings of Antey-Saint-André. The wider regional area also includes Roncas Palace, Criptoportico Forense and Castello di Suzey. Castello di Ussel and Castello di Suzey are castles, Roncas Palace is a palace, and Criptoportico Forense is a monument. The cultural references therefore extend from the parish church to a castle in the surrounding area and to a palace, a monument and another castle in the wider regional area.
Further Activities and Practical Information
Antey-Saint-André serves as a landing site for paragliding flights. The Antey-Saint-André tourist office is located in a roadside chalet next to a large car park. It is also accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. Paragliding flights and the accessible tourist office thus represent two different practical topics in the area. For orientation on site, the roadside location and the large car park provide two specific spatial reference points.
