Panorama depuis la Roche de Hautepierre walks

This relatively easy walk (apart from the climb up to the Roche de Hautepierre) will take you through the new commune of Les Premiers Sapins, between the villages of Athose and Hautepierre-le-Châtelet. Through woods and meadows, you’ll reach and pass through Hautepierre before climbing to the summit of the famous Roche de Hautepierre, which rises to an altitude of 881 metres. A breathtaking 360° panorama will allow you to take in the Loue valley, the Doubs plateaus and the first peaks of the Jura mountain range.You’ll return to the starting point by following the Ruisseau d’Athose gorge upwards through beautiful high forests, which provide welcome shade should the sun become a little too hot.

Walk around Hautepierre-le-Châtelet, with access to the summit of La Roche, views of the Alps and the Loue Valley. You can also take the Sentier de la Roche trail and link up with the GR® trail in the Loue Valley. On a clear day, you can see Mont Blanc from the summit of La Roche d'Hautepierre. In Hautepierre, below the old town hall, you can enjoy refreshments on the terrace of a community café called "La Distillerie". The trail is marked in yellow
