    Hiking

    Overlooking the cluse de Pontarlier, the Fort de Joux is listed as a historical monument. Closed during the winter period, it opens every spring.

    From here, you have a beautiful view of the fort, to better observe how it blends into a green setting. Also a colony of chamois has taken up residence in the foothills and this belvedere allows you to observe them well.

    Built between 1845 and 1851, the fort underwent a second construction when 3 tons of explosives were detonated, completely destroying the buildings of the original fort.

    Nice view of the Fort de Joux with a bench to relax.
