パルクレジオナルシャスラルの天然記念物・トップ17

The ride up on the cable car and the view from the plateau across to the Chasseral and down to St. Imier is beautiful.

Please note: following a landslide, Combe Grède is closed until further notice.

The Vaux stream is nestled among the trees of the Bernese Jura forest, and flows between Lignières and La Neuveville. From the Combe du Pilouvi trail, the view of the falls is breathtaking. It is a natural site full of magic, where witches once came to bathe in the sparkling water of the pools.

Superb path through the wild gorge to reach the summit of Chasseral. There are some technical passages, with three ladders to climb. The path can be very slippery in rainy weather.

At an altitude of 1,280 m, the Mont-Soleil resort offers you magnificent views of the Chasseral and the Combe Grède. The Monts trail between Mont Soleil and Mont Crosin allows you to enjoy panoramas of the Jura massif, as well as the possibility of visiting the solar power plant and the wind turbine park. The funicular, built in 1903, connects St Imier and Mont-Soleil.

If you are looking for a great adventure in the heart of the Jura, you should visit the Creux de Glace, a natural hole that hosts a small glacier all year round. The bottom of the hole is approximately 40 meters deep and 30 meters wide. The walls bear historical inscriptions left by the Anabaptists who exploited iron ore there in the 16th century. The Creux de Glace was also used as a natural refrigerator by local farmers until the mid-20th century.

The Pilouvi Gorge is an enchanting place with several waterfalls cascading into natural pools. It is said that witches used to bathe there. The Ruisseau de Vaux stream flows from Lignières to the medieval town of La Neuveville. This small valley has its own history: first as a retreat for a devout hermit and later as a meeting place for Satanists. The hike through the Combe du Pilouvi begins in a peaceful forest setting with a slight climb and at the entrance to the Combe the Vaux stream cascades down through beautiful gorges. From the path, the view of the waterfalls is simply indescribable. The Ruisseau de Vaux - or Ruz de Vaux - is a four-kilometer-long stream in the Neuchâtel and Bernese Jura and forms part of the border between the cantons of Neuchâtel and Bern. The name of the water refers to the settlement of Vaux on the lower reaches of the stream. The hike through the Combe de Pilouvi gorge created by this river is one of the scenic attractions of the Lake Biel region.

Beautifully landscaped and maintained wind energy park. Paths that are too beautiful for my standards and sections of path that are too fenced off.
