ボットゥランスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Hello, the Jogne Gorges are closed until 2025 - check before exploring them.

IMPORTANT INFO!!! The Jogne Gorge is closed to the public due to the bad weather last winter!!! However, the tour of Lake Montsalvens is still possible and remains a very nice walk to do, with some lovely picnic spots 😉

Hello, this year 2025, the gorges are closed due to weather damage. The tour of the lake is possible from Châtel-sur-Montsalvens or Charmey.

Unfortunately, it's closed this year. The gorge entrance is blocked with a gate.

Maison Cailler offers guided tours of the factory, which are great for both young and old. Here, visitors are shown how chocolate is made from start to finish. In front of the house, there is a shop where you can buy everything that makes Cailler so famous at special prices. Please note! The tour of the factory is not free. However, if you are lucky enough to have a Member Plus account with Raiffeisenbank, the gates are open free of charge.

A little hidden but still easy to find. Pretty little waterfall just before the exit of the gorge

Especially when the lake is calm and not a breath of wind ruffles the surface, La de Montsavens exudes an inner calm. At low tide, characteristic keel banks form on its banks, inviting you to linger.

The hike through the gorge is easy. All paths, footbridges, bridges and tunnels are easy to navigate, even with children. The landscape is wild and romantic and even spectacular when the water level is high. But good, sturdy shoes are recommended. Especially if it has rained beforehand or there is dew everywhere, it can be slippery in some places. The gorge is not suitable for strollers.
