    Hiking

    This belvedere is equipped with a small platform and barriers, thus offering hikers a prime perch to admire the Arbois valley and its cliffs from the bottom of the Cirque du Fer à Cheval.

    It overlooks a sheer drop of around 500 meters, thus allowing an opening onto a unique panorama.
