    Tips

    May 26, 2024

    This circuit allows you to make a loop from the “Echelles de la Mort” car park.
    Once you arrive at the top of the ladders, a pleasant forest path overlooks the Doubs valley.

    At one point, you have to be careful of the fork to go back down. The path is very steep and difficult, but its uniqueness deserves our attention. There is a pink fluorescent spray marking to help you find your way around.
    There is a rope on the way down to hold on and go down in reverse! Sensations guaranteed!
