If you love nature and want to discover the rich diversity of pre-Alpine flora, you should try the Moléson Botanical Trail. This thematic trail leaves from Plan-Francey, accessible by funicular from Moléson-Village, and winds along the eastern slope of Moléson, passing by the Gros-Moléson chalet and the Albeuve valley. Along the way, you will be able to identify more than 200 plants thanks to labels placed by a botanical association. It is suitable for all levels of hikers and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Don't miss the guided tours that take place on the first Sunday in July and August, where you can learn about the local flora and fauna.
