1 Day:


Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux / Lake of the Red Trout or Foncine-le-Bas

About 7 km


Previous night possible at Leonie Farm, at the guest house The Pause ô Logis or the family Le Champ de Mars campsite.

At Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux station, go back up through the town and head NE.


You will borrow a part of the roaming "Zed Jura", which allows you to discover the old tram route - a railway line in service until the middle of the 20th century and now a passable path ideal for hiking.


At the end of the day, discover the thematic trail around the Lake and peat bog of Lac-des-Rouges-Truites, before regaining strength at La Favière campsite, au Domaine du Bugnon or toThe Marandon hotel-restaurant.


2 Day:


Red Trout Lake / Chaux Bridge

About 14 km


This second day will be hillier than the first, and a little longer.

The route continues on the old tram line, to Foncine-le-bas before returning to the impressive Langouette Gorges in the village of Planches-en-Montagne.


Through the forests and paths, find the hamlet of Pont de la Chaux, or the Line of Swallows, a daily SNCF line, will allow you to find the starting point. (Remember to check the timetables!)
