3328OT - CRÊT DE LA NEIGE
The trail follows the ridges, allowing you to fully appreciate the exceptional geology and flora of the mountain range. Once you have reached the Crêt de la Neige, the highest point in the Jura, a spectacular view awaits you.
From the upper station of the Catheline gondola (during the summer), the trail passes through a variety of landscapes: spruce forests, alpine meadows and rocky ridges, bordered by remarkable flora. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of chamois on the steep slopes. The ascent offers exceptional views of the Geneva basin, Lake Geneva and the Alps, dominated by Mont Blanc. Arrivingl at the highest point of the summit ridge at 1720m rewards hikers with an exceptional view. On the descent you will come across ancient mountain pastures and their remains, bearing witness to centuries-old local pastoral activity.
