The Château de La Châtelaine is an 11th-century fortified castle, the remains of which stand in the municipality of La Châtelaine. Built on a rocky plateau framed by two inlets of the Planches Valley, it overlooks the large source of the Cuisance River. It towers 200 meters above the municipality of Planches-près-Arbois.

The natural waterfalls of the Tufs, formed on porous limestone rocks, offer an almost fairytale spectacle with their 15 m waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation.
