본빌라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 협곡

From Noiraigue, the last section of the hiking trail leads over these 14 curves (Sentier des 14 Contours). The climb is definitely worth it; the view over the Creux du Van is breathtaking.

Lots of stairs but charming place with absinthe fountains

These are not 14 contours, but 14 hairpin bends. The path is steep, but attractive.

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

Incredibly beautiful gorge. From Môiters, the actual gorge (with dreamy, moss-covered stairs and great wooden walkways) begins just before the canton border. It is worth climbing the sometimes steep stairs. The gorge becomes more beautiful the further you go into it. The path from the car park to the gorge is quite rocky.

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.

I went there and back, it’s magnificent

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.
