Hiking

The Château de La Châtelaine is an 11th-century fortified castle, the remains of which stand in the municipality of La Châtelaine. Built on a rocky plateau framed by two inlets of the Planches Valley, it overlooks the large source of the Cuisance River. It towers 200 meters above the municipality of Planches-près-Arbois.

The ruins of this once impressive complex lie hidden in a magical forest. Large and small structures are scattered throughout, offering magnificent views of the valley.

Hiking

The remains of a medieval village with a castle. If you are lucky, you can chat with the archaeologists who work there and who have a lot of exciting things to tell.
