geography
Corbonod is 350 m above Seyssel , about 16 kilometers south of the town of Bellegarde-sur-Valserine and 52 km east-southeast of the prefecture of Bourg-en-Bresse (as the crow flies). The village extends in a panoramic location on a plateau at the eastern foot of the Jura ridge , which stretches north from the Grand Colombier to the Crêt du Nu , around 100 m above the Rhone valley floor .
The area of the municipal area of 31.59 km 2 covers a section of the Rhône valley. The eastern part of the municipality is taken up by the plateau of Corbonod, which lies at an average of 350 m . It drops to the east with a steep slope and is subdivided by the valleys of short side streams of the Rhône. The eastern border runs along the Rhône, which flows here in an open valley from north to south. Below Corbonod, the Rhône is dammed by a dam (Barrage de Seyssel).
To the west, the community area extends over the steep and mostly densely wooded Jura slope to the adjoining ridge of the Grand Colombier. From a geological point of view, this ridge forms an anticline consisting of sediments from the Upper Jurassic period . In the north the border is marked by the erosion valley of the Dorche . Above around 1200 m there are wide plateaus that are mainly used as mountain pastures. At 1363 m , the highest point of Corbonod is reached in the area of Sur Lyand (viewpoint).
