The hike starts in Saignelégier following the yellow-red marked Jura Crest Trail to the Muriaux station. Then it continues steadily uphill to the Rochers des Sommêtres viewpoint. Afterwards, you leave the crest trail and descend steeply through the forest parallel to the Sommêtres ridge. Until the idyllic former mill Le Theusseret, there is another steep descent. Following a flat path along the watercourse, you then reach Goumois. Here the path climbs again until it goes back over pastures to Saignelégier.
Author’s recommendation
- Please be careful: The path to the viewpoint is steep and can be slippery when wet.
- There are several stairs and ladders to overcome on the descent.
