Departure from Villers-le-Lac (Doubs)
The walk starts on the French side but you’ll mainly be walking on the Swiss side. This walk will take you to some magnificent viewpoints. You’ll climb up to the Tête de Calvin, a magnificent viewpoint (unsecured), then head towards Les Brenets where you’ll cross the border on foot (don’t forget your documents), then on to the Marais des Goudebas (listed in the federal inventory) and finally to explore the Jurgensen Tower. It stands on a rocky outcrop at a place called Le Châtelard, in the municipality of Les Brenets. This observation tower offers sweeping panoramic views over Lake Les Brenets and the Doubs valley, whilst also housing a funerary monument. Then head for the Recrettes and Escarpineau viewing points, saving the best for last: the Saut du Doubs, first on the Swiss side and then on the French side.
