Park in the car park at Place du Champ de Foire (closed on the first Tuesday of the month).
(S/E) Leave the car park heading towards Pontarlier, turn right until you reach the roundabout at Rue de la Gare and turn left into Rue René Payot. When you reach the next roundabout, go round it on the right.
(1) Enter the grounds of Château Pertusier, home to the Morteau Clock-Making Museum; walk round the back and exit onto Rue de la Glapiney. Walk up this street until you reach Rue de la Chaussée, then continue straight on along Rue Pierre et Alfred Frainier. Please note: there is no pavement on the final section of this road.
(2) Turn left onto Chemin du Trou Au Loup; turn right after the car park and take the middle path until you reach the steps on the left.
(3) Climb the steps (view of the town), then, in front of the reservoir, turn right onto the path leading up into the woods. Ignore the first path on the right and continue uphill to the next fork.
(4) Head left up the grassy path, emerge from the woods and veer slightly left towards the two cleared passages on the path. Atthe second one, turn left: from here there is a view of the surrounding hills.
Head down the farm track towards the houses and reach the junction.
(5) Turn right onto the small road that leads into the woods and, on emerging, walk straight through the housing estate to the D48. Head left towards Morteau for about a hundred metres and turn right
(6) Just after the picnic area, head left onto the forest track towards La Roche Jeannin and, at the gate, continue straight on along the signposted path.
(7) Leave the track and take the path that descends to the left. From here, there are a few steep descents which can be slippery in wet weather.
At the Roche Jeannin viewpoint, continue along the path down towards Morteau.
(8) Head down to the left, not towards the Pont de la Roche, and continue along the path to the La Forêt de l’Aventure adventure park. Cross the site from one end to the other and, on exiting, keep following the path and then a track until you reach Rue Du Sauron. Carry straight on towards the cemetery and turn immediately right onto Chemin de la Poulotte. Pass a fountain and head down Rue des Moulinots. Return to the town, passing Château Pertusier once more.
Return to the car park by following the route in reverse (S/E).
