The promontory offers a sublime panorama of the Roche Fauconnière cirque. The site has been classified as a “sensitive natural area” since 1936. The 150 meter high cliff dominates the Semine valley and faces the Orvaz valley.

Very nice hike. Perfect with 2 children and a dog. However, there is no sign indicating that we are entering a nature reserve, just a sign when we leave.

Super easy hike to do with young children. Magnificent view of the Cirque, Mont Blanc and Leman. Possibility of lunch at Yéti (just below the arrival station) after the walk.

Le Saut du Chien, located in the Jura department, is a fascinating natural waterfall. It is surrounded by lush vegetation and is visible from the road.

Demanding hike but beautiful views. To be done in dry weather because the descent from the belvedere "above the sandstone" is very slippery, muddy and steep when the path is wet, so frankly a headache!

From this vantage point, the view extends to the distant horizon. The geology is visible amid the greenery.

An incredible point of view after the formidable laces of Sepmontel (in the direction of the descent).
