Departure from Maîche (Doubs)
From the centre of Maîche, head up via the Étang de la Goule to Mont Miroir and its ski lift, then continue to the Roche de Ruan viewpoint. Descend towards the town, then climb back up the hill to the Saint-Michel Chapel overlooking Maîche. Then head downhill, passing through the Château du Désert park, before following the Faux Verger circular route, and returning via La Lizerne and the Château de Mérode. This pleasant circular route offers numerous viewpoints, including the one at Faux Verger, which provides a truly 360° view of the surrounding landscape, from the Vosges to the Swiss Jura, and even as far as the Bernese Alps, weather permitting.

Departure from Pont-de-Roide (Doubs)
This hike is the second stage of the Grande Traversée du Jura. Although a little longer and more difficult than the first, it is one of the easiest stages of this crossing. Starting from Pont-de-Roide, the hike begins with an ascent to the Tour Carrée, passing by the Fort des Roches, which offers a superb view of the region. The hike then alternates between meadows and wooded areas, touching on the theme of the Second World War, notably with the Passage de la Douleur. The descent to Saint-Hippolyte is pleasant, with stops at Chamesol and the Chapelle Notre-Dame du Mont. Of course, once you arrive, don't hesitate to take a longer break in the beautiful village of Saint-Hippolyte.
