The source of the Doubs River is a powerful karst spring in a heavily karstified area of the Jura Mountains. It lies at an altitude of 937 meters at the foot of the forested, up to 1,419-meter-high Mont Risoux mountain range, which straddles the border between France and Switzerland. The Doubs River rises from a small, approximately five-meter-deep spring basin in a cave in the rock.

Chaux-Neuve is a small town in the Doubs region that hosts an international Nordic Combined World Cup event every year. To the south of the town, you can't miss these three large ski jumps, the largest of which rises to 118 meters.
