On the ridges between France and Switzerland
7 days/6 nights
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...
