The view is worth the climb. Not really suitable for people seeking solitude in the Jura mountains.

The Saut du Doubs is a 27-meter-high waterfall located along the Doubs River, which forms the border between France and Switzerland here. The waterfall is the result of a paleohistoric landslide that filled the narrow, gorge-like Doubs Valley, which cuts deep into the limestone formations of the Folded Jura, about 14,000 years ago.

Please note that most of the photos associated with the route are photos of the via ferrata and the names of the ladders themselves, which are very solid stairs and not rope bridges! It is perfectly feasible for hiking, even if the height can be disconcerting.

An interesting hiking experience to have two viewpoints 5m away and not be able to cross. The view is actually better on the French side 😉 The "Saut du Doubs" is a 27-meter-high waterfall on the Doubs, which is located on the French-Swiss border. During periods of flooding on the Doubs, kayak records have been set here for overcoming the waterfall.
