I believe the restaurant on Le Chasseron is permanently closed. Please check before planning a visit.

A great discovery! Some technical sequences and a wide variety of challenges. Breathtaking views. We followed this route on a "gourmet hike" (we congratulate the organization and the entire team responsible). Excellent memory!

Ste-Croix train station in the canton of Vaud is located at the terminus of the narrow-gauge railway from Yverdon-les-Bains. It connects the mountain village with the Swiss Plateau and serves as an important starting point for hikes in the Jura. The historic building reflects Alpine charm, while modern technology ensures reliable rail service.
