You think of a castle but only stones - but still a fantastic view

You think castle but only stones - But fantastic view

Pretty little lake in the heart of the small Jura mountains

This glacial lake, backed by limestone cliffs, is sometimes sapphire in color, sometimes emerald - Alexandre Dumas wrote in his book Impression de voyage in 1834: "This pretty little sapphire blue lake, set like a jewel, that nature would fear to lose."

There is a monument there commemorating the local resistance fighters, who used this meadow to parachute in equipment for the British secret services during the Second World War.

nice trail

A typical Jura ridge trail: cliff on one side, forest on the other, sharp rocks and large roots peeking out, and constant steep sections (uphill and downhill). It's not the worst I've seen: aside from the steep sections, no section is technically impossible for an experienced mountain biker. The view of the Grand Crêt d'Eau, the Crêt de Chalam, and the Haut-Jura is also pretty good.

From the ruins of Oliferne Castle, perched on a rocky spur in the Jura Mountains, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Ain Valley and beyond. Once a medieval fortress, its ruined walls and towers now blend into the rugged landscape. Its strategic position allowed it to control access to the region, making it a must-see when hiking the Pic d'Oliferne.
