Bottens – Froideville – Montheron – Bottens
Some lovely gallops, beautiful woodland (Bois du Jorat), more tarmac roads at the start but a magnificent route with a lovely shelter by the river halfway along for a picnic.
Be careful to adjust your route and avoid riding along the edges of forests or fields if they haven’t been mowed!

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.
