To the south of Arbois, the Reculée des Planches forms a valley enclosed by the Fer-à-cheval cirque. Its limestone cliffs, 245 m high, make it the highest reculée in the Jura. The whole area is listed as a protected natural site and has Natura 2000 status.

A lovely place to go for a walk or a short hike that's easy to get to. At the foot of the reculée, you can discover the Tufs waterfall and its pools. At the summit, the Fer-à-cheval and Châtelaine lookouts offer magnificent views.
