A pleasant and well-marked hike. Even crossing the housing estate is fun, as you can admire the landscape designers' creations in the mini gardens.

A lovely, varied walk. We set off from the top of the village of Les Fins, which gives the walk a better "balance": uphill first, then downhill

This route was taken by a group from the Loire region (aged 60 to 80) on the morning of 27 October 2022, when the weather was very pleasant for the season.
The route was greatly appreciated. The green landscapes were superb. The encounters with cows and horses grazing in the pastures were enjoyable. And the views of the Morteau Valley are magnificent.
A fond memory for all.

Thank you for this beautiful hike near Morteau. We chose to set off in the morning from the car park next to the church in Les Fins to make the climb in the cool of the morning, going anti-clockwise: first to Fraichot's house, then to the viewpoint over Morteau. A very quiet route.

Part 3 of the hike, when you come to the village of Meix Brenet, Rue de Mont Vouillot and Rue de la Forêt, is not very clear in terms of signposting and is very confusing, as there is a post at the end of Rue de la Forêt with a marked cross, which causes confusion. In fact, you have to continue along this street to the end to find Rue des Teurés and head back into the woods. This needs to be corrected. Apart from that, it's a very beautiful hike, especially the last part.

A lovely little route, ideal for after lunch... a few reasonable climbs, beautiful views over the Morteau valley and sections through mountain pastures. However, the section along the hillside should be tackled with caution if there are children present.

Very nice walk. The advantage is that you don't meet many people.
The last part should not be attempted in rainy weather.

a very beautiful route with breathtaking views of the Morteau Valley.
the last kilometre runs along the side of a mountain, or even a cliff, and is not recommended for children.
