ボンヴィラールの滝・トップ5

Lots of stairs but charming place with absinthe fountains

Cycling along the lake shore, a real pleasure on hot summer days

Shortly before the top, the path is quite narrow and exposed. Not for people with a fear of heights,

The Saut de Brot bridge is certainly one of the most beautiful places in the Areuse Gorge. The old stone bridge takes you to the other side of the Areuse and makes a fantastic photo opportunity.

If you're looking for an exciting hike in the heart of the mysterious absinthe country, you should visit the Gorges de la Poeta-Raisse, near Môtiers. There you'll discover the stunning waterfall and Rousseau's cave, named after the famous philosopher who lived there. You'll then follow the narrow, steep canyons carved by the Breuil stream, crossing several bridges and wooden staircases. You'll be amazed by the beauty and diversity of this natural site, where water and rocks create a magical landscape. The Gorges de la Poeta-Raisse is a must-see for nature lovers and adventurers.

The Areuse karst spring is a natural spring which emerges from limestone rocks and forms the Areuse river. You can start your hike from the village of Noiraigue and go up the river to the source, located at the foot of the Clusette cliffs. Along the way, you will enjoy views of gorges, bridges and waterfalls. The Areuse karst source is a good example of underground water circulation in a karst system.

A remarkable waterfall for the Jura. The grotto, however, is a little cave at best 😃

A real photo opportunity, but you have to climb down some steps to get there.
