209 steps that are worth it. Climbing the lookout tower designed by the Ticino architect Mario Botta offers a great view of the Bernese Jura and the mountains beyond. The circular hike starts in Perrefitte with the scenic path through the gorge. Through the forest, it continues over wooden bridges along the river La Chalière. Then the tour leads along the forest edge to the hamlet of Les Ecorcheresses. The next turn takes us through woods and over meadows up to Moron, where the aforementioned lookout tower can be climbed. The return path to Perrefitte passes through Wytweiden, which are typical for the Jura.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
