Departure from Pontarlier (Doubs)
Starting from the Brin d'Herbe equestrian lodge, enjoy an unusual hike along forest paths, past cows and alpine landscapes. There is a magnificent view from the Ferme des Miroirs road, from where you can even see the Alps if the weather is not too cloudy! Enjoy a refreshing break or a good meal at the Les Papillons restaurant before returning through fields and forests.
NB: as this hike crosses several cow pastures, please be sure to dismount, open and, above all, close any gates you come across.
