Hiking

This is the route to the highest waterfall in the Jura, the Saut du Doubs. The waters of the Doubs plunge from a height of 27 meters and then flow for 29 kilometers entirely through Swiss territory. To get there, you'll first make a short detour. Nevertheless, the walk there and back is worth it, as the sight of this untamed force of nature has made many people imagine themselves in the Canadian wilderness.

Once you reach Lac du Brenets, you can take the opportunity for a romantic boat ride. The easy route and shortness of this hike make it ideal for your family outing, especially if you get out on the water towards the end of the day.

Saut du Doubs Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Going to the Saut du Doubs means leaping thousands of kilometers and feeling like you're in the middle of the Canadian canyons. The landscapes of this place are magnificent! This waterfall and its pools are classified as a major national site and are located on the border line between Switzerland and France. There are therefore two observation sites for the waterfall.

A quaint place for a rest with food on the banks of the Doubs. Next door you will also find the dock for boat tours from Les Brenets.

Brenets Lake

Highlight • Lake

From April to autumn you can take a relaxed tour with one of the excursion boats on the Lac des Brenets. If you would like to combine this with a hike, you can, for example, hike along the lakeshore and glide back with the ship.

Very nice forest tour; unfortunately the lake was only a trickle. For a short stretch, older people on the way were happy to have taken sticks with them for walking down the mountain, but you can also do the tour on paved roads.
