Description of the walk

This hike can start from two locations: either from Les Granges Raguin or from the Super Longevilles car park, as shown on the map.
(6) Note: Starting from Les Granges Raguin, simply follow the signposting for the Lynx trail.

(S/E) Starting from Super Longevilles, head towards Bellevue and then reach the junction of the trail at La Bartelette.

(1) Join the Lynx trail here. Turn left towards the Auberge de la Grangette; before reaching the inn, turn right, cross theGR®5, continue south-east past the Ferme de la Vermode, and you’ll reach the French-Swiss border.

(2) Make a 180° turn to follow a route almost parallel to the previous one, leading to a water tank.

(3) Turn left, follow the track and reach the hamlet of La Roulette.

(4) Stay on the track and, heading almost constantly west, pass the chalets of Chalet Brûlé, Chalet Neuf and Haut Soulier. Shortly after the last chalet, you’ll reach a crossroads.

(5) Change direction completely, heading north towards Les Granges Raguin.

(6) Turn right, walk past the chalets at La Besaine, and further on you’ll reach La Boissaude.

(7) Continue along the track until you reach the original crossroads.

(1) Turn left and follow the route you took on the way there to return to the Super Longevilles car park (S/E).

Hello,
Let’s keep OSM alive,
My son makes edits and additions every day.
For example, one interesting piece of data is drinking water points.
If we add details of those near us, everyone benefits...

Sorry,
I found that all the download windows were hidden behind another window, so the problem was on my end.
Thank you for your prompt response.
Have a good week

Big mistake: La Boissaude and La Grangette are not farm inns, but restaurants. To be a farm inn, you must first and foremost be a farmer.
