Rock Tunnels and Lake Views Along the Doubs

Highlight • Trail

On the Swiss side, the hiking trail leads through rock tunnels and past places secured with ropes - there are beautiful views over the lake on both sides.

Going to the Saut du Doubs means leaping thousands of kilometers and feeling like you're in the middle of the Canadian canyons. The landscapes of this place are magnificent! This waterfall and its pools are classified as a major national site and are located on the border line between Switzerland and France. There are therefore two observation sites for the waterfall.

Stepping Stones on the Doubs River

Highlight • Bridge

Le gué, i.e. the ford, perfectly describes this shallow spot in the water 👍🏻. Here you can cross the Doubs with dry feet.
The slippery stones in the water after the metal stairs are almost more difficult to master than the round serving trays 😅. Funny river crossing.

Café Le Chatelot

Highlight • Cafe

A superb place where calm and good humor reign. The relay is run by an association of volunteers who serve you drinks, cheese/meat boards, pasta, etc. all year round. The products are of high quality and at an unbeatable price for Switzerland (possibility of paying in euros as well).
