The Saut du Doubs is a 27-meter-high waterfall located along the Doubs River, which forms the border between France and Switzerland here. The waterfall is the result of a paleohistoric landslide that filled the narrow, gorge-like Doubs Valley, which cuts deep into the limestone formations of the Folded Jura, about 14,000 years ago.

This stage could be in the Amazon – green, greener, greenest… We didn't see any snakes or crocodiles, but the birdsong is unimaginable. Be careful, the trail is underwater in places during high water.

An interesting hiking experience to have two viewpoints 5m away and not be able to cross. The view is actually better on the French side 😉 The "Saut du Doubs" is a 27-meter-high waterfall on the Doubs, which is located on the French-Swiss border. During periods of flooding on the Doubs, kayak records have been set here for overcoming the waterfall.

There is a pretty waterfall above the hut and a little below there is a structure to collect the water. Némorin is a legend in this area "Into the Wild à la franc-comtoise". It is not advisable for hikers to descend into the valley here. The path there is not easy to find and it is very overgrown. Driftwood often blocks the way. Instead, you should follow the marked path to the GR5 and then take the switchbacks into the valley.

A little change when circling Lac de Moron 👍🏻

Going to the Saut du Doubs means leaping thousands of kilometers and feeling like you're in the middle of the Canadian canyons. The landscapes of this place are magnificent! This waterfall and its pools are classified as a major national site and are located on the border line between Switzerland and France. There are therefore two observation sites for the waterfall.

Unfortunately in June 2022 when we were there there was no waterfall. The Doubs carried very little water. Pity!

Perfect route for biking without difficulties!
