even if Komoot shows a block here - it goes through

Komoot didn't let me through when planning the tour, but the house has an underpass - so it works!

Montmahoux lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the top of its 828 meters, the Montmahoux is a first choice perch to admire the Monts du Jura.
And in optimal conditions, expect to see Mont-Blanc looming over there, on the horizon.

Moderate Climb to Éternoz

Highlight • Climb

Chiao Nans-sous-Saint-Anne - now it's going uphill - up to Eternoz there were 6 vehicles that had overtaken me - so everything was okay

There is so much to discover here:
Source du Lison
Cheese shop
Tallanderie
Climbing rocks
and the best of all: “a l'ombre du chateau”
A “Bed & Breakfast” that is absolutely extraordinary for me.
Simply fantastic, indescribable!

Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne

Highlight • Other

Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is unique.
Beautifully secluded. Lots of opportunities, from climbing, cycling and hiking. And there's even a former Michelin-starred chef in the Chateâu. The cheese dairy is great and also has bread and wine.
It's a picture-perfect village.

Bridge over the Lison

Highlight • Bridge

We were completely alone, with two exceptions. This old bridge just before Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne over the Lizon - the atmosphere is like in a fairytale forest.
