Description

Perfect for a family outing or a first snowshoeing experience. The trail winds gently through the forest before looping back to the plateau. It's the ideal opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and gently ease yourself into winter hiking.
Throughout the route, specific markings guide you along well-trodden paths with little elevation gain, but a wonderful feeling of escape. Walkers are rewarded with beautiful views of the Dôle, the iconic peak of the Swiss Jura.

The start and finish are at the Domaine de la Vattay, where there is an entrance fee. As with any route through a protected natural area, it is essential to respect the regulations in force (no dogs, stay on the marked trails, no unnecessary noise, etc.).
