This bucolic and mysterious path will lead you next to the river Valserine. You will travel in time on this path thanks to all the must-sees it has to offer such as the old stone bridge, the electric factory with an unusual story to tell and an old custom booth.

Vertical rock faces, magnificent views, and a shady forest On the hike through the forested and mountainous area near Champfromier, there are wonderful views time and again of the Jura plateaus and valleys, as well as the mountain range to the east. The highlight is the steep, towering rock faces of the Cirque des Avalanches, which are highly prone to avalanches in winter.

Stunning views of the Haut-Jura massif In early summer, we enjoy the shade of a diverse forest during the ascent, while from the summit we have a fantastic 360-degree panorama of the Valserine, as well as the plateau and the mountains of the southeastern Jura all the way to Mont Blanc. On the way down, we pass through meadows filled with beautiful blooming flowers.
