Voie Verte PLM cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Unfortunately we only drove this section, but a fantastic route on an old railway line in the Jura between Lons-le-Saunier and Châtillon. Perfect asphalt and some illuminated tunnel routes.

Michel CONVERSET
June 4, 2026, Point de vue sur le lac de Vouglans

Non-glacial lake, but artificial, filled in 1968 (Vouglans dam) swallowing the Wild Valley of the Ain river and three villages! But... superb body of water and protected region! To do: complete tour (80 kms), South 1/2 tour sometimes quite technical, and North 1/2 tour (fun), or even West coast from Orgelet-Plaisair or East side from Maisod - Coyron! Nice ride MC

The Saut de la Saisse is a waterfall in France located in the Jura massif, at the point where the Ain river flows into the Vouglans reservoir at Pont-de-Poitte and Patornay, between Lons-le-Saunier and Clairvaux-les-Lacs. A "marmite du diable", "marmite de géant" or "marmite glaciaire" in Switzerland (or simply "marmite" or "chaudron") is a more or less cylindrical natural cavity carved into the rock by ancient, generally torrential watercourses, carrying pebbles or gravel, which promotes swirling erosion (a phenomenon called "marmitage").

Great view of the Ain, this is where the Lac de Vouglans begins. When the water level is high, the stones are of course not so easy to see.

Correction to my tip: Asphalt with mixed traffic, for residents, but I couldn't see where the residents wanted to go. It's a shame, some sections of the asphalt are no longer in such good condition.

Beautiful views, but unfortunately the railway line cycle path is not asphalted.

With the many tunnels, bridges and some beautiful views, it definitely has the potential to be a beautiful railway cycle path. Most of it is not asphalted, there is light in the tunnels, but the lack of asphalt means that there are very dangerous longitudinal grooves. Later there is a staircase, which is not easy with full luggage and in bad weather. The asphalted sections unfortunately have car traffic, even if only local residents. Conclusion: unfortunately it doesn't come anywhere close to Alpe-Adria.

Magnificent lake of glacial origin, at the foot of the first plateau of the Jura massif. Beautiful view of the turquoise lagoon from the sailing club.
