A short walk takes you to the Blue Spring. There are lovely views of Lake Saint-Point. Located between the villages of Malbuisson and Montperreux, this spring is a pure transparent blue colour.

A varied hike with splendid views of Lake Saint-Point and the mid-mountain range, passing through a picturesque little village. The end of the route is enhanced by the discovery of a magnificent blue/turquoise-green water source.

A lovely circular walk above Malbuisson that will take you to Fort Saint-Antoine (or Fort Lucotte), one of the sites where Comté cheese is matured. From there, through meadows and mountain pastures, and through the woods, you’ll reach the borders of Touillon and Loutelet with a superb view of the peaks of the Swiss Jura, the Mont d’Or and the resort of Métabief, and, weather permitting, Mont Blanc. After reaching Montperreux, you’ll walk along pleasant paths with views of Lake Saint-Point and the village of Chaudron. Please note: some sections can be tricky to navigate; as a precaution, we recommend using the app or a hiking GPS.

A medium-altitude hike that alternates between wooded areas and open, sunny sections. Nice view of the Alps if the weather is good.

A pleasant hike mainly through the mountain pastures of the Haut-Doubs with a superb view of Mont Blanc if the weather is good. The last quarter of the route passes through forest.

The route around the lake is a long hike but on good roads. Saint-Point-Lac is the third-largest natural lake in France. The path will take you along and close to the lake but also rises up a little and leads away from it at times for better views. This trail is littered with signs to better understand your environment.

A pleasant walk through forest and pastureland, overlooking the lake. Halfway along the route, there is a superb view of the two lakes from the viewpoint. Return via the same route.

A lovely themed walk centred around one of the region’s cheeses, Morbier. This circular route starts at the Fruitière des Lacs and winds through the typical agricultural landscapes of the Haut-Doubs. Don’t miss the stunning 360° view over Lake Remoray and the peaks of the Doubs.

Follow in the footsteps of the Shepherd of Chantegrue and step into the heart of a pastoral landscape typical of the Haut-Doubs, where livestock farming plays a vital role in preserving wildlife. Thirteen information boards reveal the secrets of this unique landscape, steeped in memories of a bygone way of life and traditional pastoral practices.

In Vaux-et-Chantegrue, explore the mysteries of water! Starting from the school, find the four markers along the route to discover the different facets of water in the village.

This half-day hike offers beautiful views of the Lac de Remoray Nature Reserve, the Fourperet Gorges on the banks of the Doubs and the alternating spruce forests and pasture meadows. You can also admire the mountains around Métabief.

Lac de Remoray, formerly known as Lac Savoureux, is located just upstream from Lac de Saint-Point and used to be part of it. Over thousands of years, the Doubs River, with its alluvial deposits, has separated the original large lake into two. You will discover a patchwork of very different environments: lakes, marshes, peat bogs, rivers, meadows and forests. The viewpoint overlooking the two lakes offers a unique view of the diversity of these landscapes, giving this hike a special charm.

This easy walk follows paths and roads from Labergement-Sainte-Marie to the Gorges du Fourperet via Rochejean. The River Doubs, which gave its name to the department, forms the backbone of the route, winding its way through forests and lush green meadows.

A themed walk centred on one of the region’s cheeses, Morbier. The first part of this idyllic walk follows the river, passes through the villages and past the Mont d’Or cheese dairy, before offering a lovely viewpoint halfway along the route, set amongst woodland and pastures.

It’s a short walk for this first day of the GTJ, but it allows you to enjoy your first night surrounded by nature.

This hike will take you up Mont d'Or, where you can enjoy the view, then look down on it from below. You will pass through different environments and see a rich and diverse range of flora depending on the season.
