Thank you for your feedback. It’s true that Olten station is a very welcoming haven whatever the weather

A lovely hike in the rain and wind; luckily, a beautiful chalet in Switzerland allowed us to dry off a bit and eat indoors. That doesn’t detract from this lovely hike, which I highly recommend.

A lovely walk, though there really aren’t many signposts on the Swiss side; luckily, with a mobile phone, you can follow the route using the map.

Hello
Finding the path that runs along the border wall on the Swiss side wasn’t easy,
You’ll find yourself on a good, wide path after the log station, and you need to turn left off this path after about 800 metres and take a tiny track; we missed it the first time, so there you go.

Thanks

Thank you for your feedback. As for the signposting, there’s not much we can do about that… It’s generally well maintained in Switzerland, but that may have changed… Did you have any trouble finding your way using the route description? We can improve that based on your comments.
Kind regards

Hello
Hike completed last week
No major problems, but the signposting on the Swiss side leaves a lot to be desired....
Finding the path that follows the border wall is very poorly signposted; as for the border wall itself, it’s more of a low dividing wall at the edge of the forest
There you go

A lovely walk enjoyed in fine weather, amidst Swiss cows grazing freely in beautiful pastures and stunning forests, managed quite differently from those in France. Well worth a visit!
The southern circular route is much more attractive and interesting (with themed information boards) than the northern circular route (apart from markers 1 and 182), but still enjoyable, except for the end, which finishes with a long stretch of tarmac road.
20.76 km covered in 5½ hours of walking, not including the lunch break
Highly recommended for all hiking enthusiasts

This hike is a pleasant one, with its forest-surrounded valleys and beautiful woodland pastures; the 20-kilometre distance is easily forgotten amidst the beauty of the landscape. The signposting on the Swiss side is excellent, but on the French side, after the twin markers 1 and 182, there is nothing left. We found ourselves right in the middle of the pasture and, without a GPS, we couldn’t find the Trois Pierres; it was only by following the fence that we eventually spotted a remnant of yellow-and-blue markings on a post, which enabled us to find the path back (no easy feat...)

A lovely spring walk with patches of snow, the first crocuses, butterbur, morels, chamois, roe deer and foxes – in short, a real treat

The signposting leaves a bit to be desired at the start, at La Coupe (a route error), and at La Begaude, but you get used to it after a while

I couldn't find the path that leads back up into the woods after the Three Stones.

This hike left me wanting more;
it’s quite a long walk for such a limited variety of scenery
A bit too much road and track
A few attractive signposts, which I’ve included here: on the French side, a beautiful fleur-de-lis and a Napoleonic eagle.
For my part, if I were to do it again, I’d stick to the southern circular loop.

This trail is a real pleasure to walk along; it passes through a variety of landscapes and the autumn colours are truly stunning. The path is sometimes wide and at other times just a narrow track, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature and spot wildlife, such as a deer darting across your path...
The themed information boards provide interesting facts about the area.
