モンペルーの絶景の山頂・トップ6

The Mont d'Or is a mountain in the Jura Mountains on the border between France and Switzerland, whose summit is 1463 m in the French department of Doubs, not far from the national border, north of the Swiss town of Vallorbe.

On clear days you can see the snow-capped peaks of the Alps

Ballaigues is indeed the first village in Switzerland for the pilgrim on the Via Francigena, who follows the route in the footsteps of Bishop Sigeric. In the year 990, Sigeric left Canterbury for Rome to obtain his pallium - a symbol of the authority of the archbishops - from the Pope

Ballaigues is a picturesque municipality where nature and mountains come together. It is the birthplace of historian and politician Paul Maillefer (1862-1929) and the final resting place of painter and violinist Louis Soutter (1871-1941). The altitude varies between 920 meters and 1,104 meters above sea level. Ballaigues has a mountain climate, characterized by harsh winters and high rainfall throughout the year.

The Morond

Mont d'Or does not dominate the Jura chain, but its 1,463 meters of altitude make it the highest point in the Doubs department. Its position offers hikers superb and very clear views of the Suchet massif and the Dent de Vaulion, without forgetting of course the Alps. On a clear day, you can admire more than 300 alpine peaks, including the unique Mont Blanc. The Mont d'Or is perfect for a picnic break, but like all the Jura peaks, it is very exposed to the wind. Don't hesitate to take a windbreaker with you.

The summit itself cannot really be reached by bike. You have to walk about five minutes. The short walk is worth it, you have a beautiful view.

Very pleasant climb through beautiful forest
