A very beautiful hike, with a steady, gradual climb and magnificent views from the summit. The return trail is a little difficult to find and a bit steep at the beginning, but it's a very nice walk.

A beautiful hike that is a bit physically demanding but very pleasant, with a gentle climb.
Be careful on the descent through the woods, as the rocks are very wet and slippery.

Magnificent hike with stunning views on 25/07/2024. Shortcut to avoid the Piagette bend. Beautiful viewpoint at point 1399 Grand Bel Coster. Access to the Petit Suchet is off-trail, straight up the slope. In the Roche gorge, there is a cable but it is easy to cross. The descent from Le Suchet to Grange Neuve (car access) is the steepest part of the route, which is mainly made up of beautiful tracks (roots, large stones). I only use the track.

Hiking without snow but in magnificent weather with incredible views of the Alps, from the Aravis to Austria, passing by the Matterhorn and the Weisshorn.

This hike can be done in the opposite direction, with the climb in the shade.
There are few trails, which is a shame, and be careful on the Swiss side, as there are few markers.

Beautiful view of the Alps if it's not too hot (humidity).

Time taken: 2 hours (without breaks) for the climb and the same for the return

A very beautiful walk with lovely views of Lake Neufchâtel and Lake Geneva.
The giant wind turbine project on the Bel Coster ridge, if it goes ahead despite the appeal lodged by all the elected representatives on the French side, is likely to spoil the landscape.

Very beautiful hike... shame about the fog that hid the Alps... The return trip is less interesting... perhaps it would be better to go back down the path on the left at Noirvaux farm rather than via the marked rock... Worth doing

A beautiful hike completed in 5 hours and 50 minutes with a 45-minute break.
Beautiful view from the top of the Knoll, but crowded on 25 July with many paragliders and spectators.
the climb up to the Petit Knoll was not well explained in the description, and we strayed from the path before finding our way back.
Best done when the weather is clear and not foggy to enjoy the view of Lake Geneva, Lake Neuchâtel and the Alps.
There are a lot of tracks at the start and end of the hike.

A very attractive peak that serves as a launch site for paragliders. Therefore, it is quite busy when the wind is favourable. Beautiful views of Yverdon and part of Lake Neuchâtel.
