Labergement-Sainte-Marie walks

This half-day hike offers beautiful views of the Lac de Remoray Nature Reserve, the Fourperet Gorges on the banks of the Doubs and the alternating spruce forests and pasture meadows. You can also admire the mountains around Métabief.

Lac de Remoray, formerly known as Lac Savoureux, is located just upstream from Lac de Saint-Point and used to be part of it. Over thousands of years, the Doubs River, with its alluvial deposits, has separated the original large lake into two. You will discover a patchwork of very different environments: lakes, marshes, peat bogs, rivers, meadows and forests. The viewpoint overlooking the two lakes offers a unique view of the diversity of these landscapes, giving this hike a special charm.

The route around the lake is a long hike but on good roads. Saint-Point-Lac is the third-largest natural lake in France. The path will take you along and close to the lake but also rises up a little and leads away from it at times for better views. This trail is littered with signs to better understand your environment.

A pleasant walk through forest and pastureland, overlooking the lake. Halfway along the route, there is a superb view of the two lakes from the viewpoint. Return via the same route.

A medium-altitude hike that alternates between wooded areas and open, sunny sections. Nice view of the Alps if the weather is good.

This walk starts at the superb viewpoint overlooking the two lakes of Saint-Point and Remoray. It then alternates between alpine meadows and spruce forests between Le Brey, Bougeons and Remoray. It thus offers an excellent overview of the Jura landscapes.

A pleasant hike mainly through the mountain pastures of the Haut-Doubs with a superb view of Mont Blanc if the weather is good. The last quarter of the route passes through forest.

A lovely circular walk above Malbuisson that will take you to Fort Saint-Antoine (or Fort Lucotte), one of the sites where Comté cheese is matured. From there, through meadows and mountain pastures, and through the woods, you’ll reach the borders of Touillon and Loutelet with a superb view of the peaks of the Swiss Jura, the Mont d’Or and the resort of Métabief, and, weather permitting, Mont Blanc. After reaching Montperreux, you’ll walk along pleasant paths with views of Lake Saint-Point and the village of Chaudron.

The climb offers remarkable views of the region and Switzerland, including Lake Geneva. You can combine this walk with the Métabief summer toboggan run or the tourist train ride starting in Les Hôpitaux-Neufs.

There are some steep but short climbs, panoramic views, and the pleasure of reaching Le Morond and admiring the landscape from Mont d'Or.

Alternating between pastures and high-altitude forests, this trail allows you to enjoy the varied landscapes of the Haut-Doubs.

Starting from Mouthe, a small village nestled in the heart of a wide valley bathed by the first meanders of the Doubs, this walk invites passers-by to discover the resurgence of this river, which is listed in the department's inventory of natural sites, and then the Moutat peat bog.

For this fourth stage, after a good hour's walk, you will reach the highest point of the day: the Dent de Vaulion. The lakes of Joux and Brenet will be at your feet. The water from these two lakes flows underground, shaping the karst cave of the Orbe, near Vallorbe. On a clear day, you can see up to eight lakes.

The Gorges de l’Orbe offer magnificent scenery in all seasons. This route, on the left bank, is better suited to the wetter months than the one on the right bank. There are no major difficulties, but some downhill sections can be tricky if you’re walking after rain, with mud and a risk of slipping. Walking poles are not a bad idea, which is why I’ve classified the route as of medium difficulty This route partly overlaps with the Gorges de l'Orbe route featured on the website.
