The name "Montagne de Trois Croix" already hinted at it, and so it's no real surprise to find more than just a summit cross up here, which – as is common in many places – crowns the mountain peak. The central cross, standing in the middle, points the observer to the execution of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth. According to biblical tradition, however, he was not condemned to death and crucified alone, but together with two criminals. Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, once composed the following prayer on this subject: "Help us, Son of Man, to free ourselves from the arrogance of the thief, the robber on your left, and of the short-sighted and the corrupt (...) Instead, we ask you, Son of God, to identify us with the good thief who looked at you with eyes full of shame, repentance, and hope; who, with the eyes of faith, saw divine victory in your apparent defeat and thus knelt before your mercy and grace and stole paradise with honesty and integrity.

super sortie mode trail

A trail that follows the heights of the cliffs that make up the Jonte Gorges. It goes from panorama to panorama (more than a dozen panoramas are on this trail), and every time you think you've seen it all, it will offer you new perspectives, or a view of cliffs and rocks you hadn't seen before! Be careful, the trail is close to the edge at times, be aware (especially if you are prone to vertigo). Be careful, there are a few short steep sections, and quite often roots that are slippery when wet. Finally, be careful, the trail is largely within a protected biological reserve. Please be respectful and quiet.

A geological curiosity, nice to see. If you're not passing too far, it's worth a little detour.

A large rocky spur which offers you a great, unparalleled panorama of the Jonte gorges.

The Creissels waterfall is a true natural gem! It is a resurgence that flows constantly throughout the year, with a flow that varies. What makes this place so special is that it is loaded with calcium carbonate, which has allowed the formation of a magnificent tuff rock. In winter, when temperatures drop, the waterfall transforms into a magical spectacle. The icy concretions that form are simply magnificent, and it is fascinating to see how the waterfall can completely petrify at times. It is an ideal place for nature lovers and photographers in search of enchanting landscapes. I highly recommend visiting the Creissels waterfall, whether to admire its peaceful flow in summer or its incredible transformation in winter!

Among the unique rock formations of the Jonte Gorges, some stand out. The two famous monoliths called Vase de Sèvre and Vase de Chine are among them. A must for your hikes in the region.
