20의 우르티에르가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Please note that most of the photos associated with the route are photos of the via ferrata and the names of the ladders themselves, which are very solid stairs and not rope bridges! It is perfectly feasible for hiking, even if the height can be disconcerting.

Starting point for wonderful hikes - free parking.

Everything is in good working order. A beautiful experience, thank you to whomever keeps this maintained and safe!

The Etang de la Gruère nature reserve is a paradise for nature lovers. Opt for a morning hike to enjoy the calm, and to observe the rising mists over the water.

The magnificent National Horse Market-Contest Hall was built in 1904 and restored in 2003-2004. It is classified as a “historic monument”, and it is the best-known building in the Franches-Montagnes, and hosts various events each year.

This 500 meters long via ferrata with a 100 meters positive difference in altitude takes place on the French-Swiss border, in the grandiose and vertiginous setting of the Doubs gorges which for a long time sheltered the smuggling activities between these two countries. Very playful and vertiginous with ladders, footbridges, a zip line, cable and Nepalese bridges, it is certainly one of the most beautiful and impressive via ferrata of the region. After a few minutes of walking on a path, the course begins in the beautiful vertical limestone cliff by a first ladder soon followed by a Nepalese bridge, a beam and a slightly overhanging dihedral. This is the most physical part of the route, and it precedes the first escape route that leads to the Cendrée lookout. The next section offers a short, slightly overhanging passage, then a Tibetan bridge made of logs and a 42-meter-long "3-strand" cable bridge, both of which test your balance. The itinerary continues across a ledge (second possible escape route), takes a descending ladder, crosses a new cable bridge ("2 strands" this time), then goes up vertically by exploiting the weaknesses of the wall. The ladder and the beam that follow announce the long 60 meter zip line that can be avoided via the third escape route (but that would be a shame!). A last beam and a steep and original rope ladder bring you to the end of the via ferrata. A safe path follows the cliff, passes by the belvedere where you can still admire the superb landscapes, then follows the route of the smugglers of yesteryear before bringing you back to the parking lot.

This restaurant is located in an absolute natural paradise. The photos with a view of the Doubs speak for themselves. Next door is one of the largest forest reserves in Switzerland. Fish and truffle dishes will revive tired hikers.

This bright red suspension bridge spans the Doubs near the village of Enfers. Be careful not to lose your balance on the deck, as it can sway in the wind.
