Circuit around Saint-Point-Lac
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.
Walk around Lake Remoray
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.
The Deux Lacs viewpoint from Labergement-Sainte-Marie
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.
On and below Mont d'Or
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.
Le Morond from Les Hôpitaux-Neufs
Coming from the north, Morond is the first iconic peak in the Jura to be reached. It rises to an altitude of 1,419 metres. The summit can be reached in half a day from Métabief or Les Hôpitaux-Neufs. The climb offers remarkable views of the region and Switzerland, including Lake Geneva. You can combine this walk with the Métabief summer toboggan run or the tourist train ride starting in Les Hôpitaux-Neufs.
Fort de Joux No. 80
This is a well-marked mountain bike trail. Number 80.A very varied and technical circuit, very interesting from a mountain biking point of view.

A very pleasant, peaceful walk, the first half of which takes you through beautiful coniferous woods to this magnificent viewpoint over the Château de Joux and La Cluse, before returning in the sunshine with a beautiful unobstructed view of the plateau.
The Roche Sarrasine viewpoint
Typical farms, a chapel covered in wooden shingles, two superb viewpoints over La Cluse de Joux and its castle, a glimpse of Chasseron and the Aiguilles de Baulmes, fir trees and the invigorating air of the Haut-Doubs.
Belvédère des Deux Lacs from Le Brey
This varied route has a special charm, taking in very different environments: lakes, marshes, peat bogs, rivers, meadows and forests. The highlight is the Belvédère des Deux Lacs, which offers a unique view of the Lac de Remoray National Nature Reserve and its natural environments.
On the ridges of Mont d'Or
An easy hike in clear weather, ensuring you can see the Mont Blanc massif. The elevation gain is reasonable. There are some steep but short climbs, panoramic views, and the pleasure of reaching Le Morond and admiring the landscape from Mont d'Or.
Please note that you may have to cross fields where cows graze freely.
Chalets on Mont d'Or

This well-balanced route allows you to enjoy the coolness of beautiful pine forests and the sunshine of these alpine pastures dotted with gentians, accompanied by the music of our cowbells.
Ballaigues - Sainte-Croix
Stage 4 From Les Rousses to Lake Constance, via the Jura ridges.
From the southern slopes of the Knoll, above L'Orbe, the climb to the ridge offers a magnificent panorama: Lake Neuchâtel, the plain and the Alps in the background. The trail crosses the peaceful pastures of the Jura before reaching the Col de l'Aiguillon, close to the French border, marked by anti-tank obstacles and bunkers. The hike continues along the Crête des Aiguilles de Baulmes, lined with 80-metre cliffs, with breathtaking views of Mont Blanc, Lake Geneva, La Dôle and Chasseral. The descent leads to Sainte-Croix, renowned for its music boxes and automatons.
Forests and pastures all the way to Les Papillons restaurant
Starting from the Brin d'Herbe equestrian lodge, enjoy an unusual hike along forest paths, past cows and alpine landscapes. There is a magnificent view from the Ferme des Miroirs road, from where you can even see the Alps if the weather is not too cloudy! Enjoy a refreshing break or a good meal at the Les Papillons restaurant before returning through fields and forests.
NB: as this hike crosses several cow pastures, please be sure to dismount, open and, above all, close any gates you come across.
