From the Mont des Verrières to Chapelle-des-Bois, this hike from hotel to hotel, along the GR5 national footpath, will take you on a voyage to discover the Franco-Swiss Jura: the village of Les Fourgs, nicknamed 'the Roof of the Doubs', the mountain resort of Métabief/Mont d'Or, the source of the River Doubs at Mouthe...
The scenery here is typically that of small mountains, with green nature all around, subtly different around each corner and with each season.
