Oyonnax, between watchmaking tradition and Jura nature

Welcome to Oyonnax, a town nestled in the Haut-Bugey, on the border between Ain and Jura. Renowned for its plastics industry and its watchmaking past, Oyonnax is also a nature destination, between mountains, lakes and deep forests.

A fascinating industrial and artisanal past
Oyonnax is marked by its industrial history, particularly in the field of plastics, which has earned it the nickname "Plastics Valley". Discover the Comb and Plastics Museum, which traces the history of local know-how, from the first horn objects to current technological innovations.

An ideal natural setting for outdoor activities
Oyonnax is surrounded by unspoilt Jura landscapes, perfect for hiking, mountain biking and water sports. Fancy a breath of fresh air? Head to Lac Genin, nicknamed “Little Canada”, where the clear water and fir trees reflect an idyllic landscape in both summer and winter.

Gastronomy between the mountains and the Ain region
The region offers generous cuisine, including specialties such as Comté fondue and Jura trout.
