Bellegarde-sur-Valserine is a former commune located in the Ain department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in eastern France, now part of the new commune Valserhône since 2019.

Situated at the confluence of the Valserine and Rhône rivers, the area is known for its unique geographic feature where the waters run underground, once allowing easy crossing of both rivers.

The town lies in a valley flanked by the Plateau of Retord to the west and the massif of the Grand Crêt d'Eau and the Vuache to the east. It serves as an important access point to the area north of Lake Geneva.

The local climate blends oceanic and warm-summer humid continental influences, with cold winters and warm summers. Bellegarde has rail connections to major cities such as Paris, Lyon, and Geneva, making it a key transport hub. Its population is around 11,100 and it fosters twinning relationships with towns in Italy and Germany.
