This signposted trail is ideal for families looking for an easy hike with little change in altitude. This 8.8km loop, starting at the Col des Étroits, guides snowshoe-lovers gently through pastures and forests. The route passes through L’Auberson, a typical Jura village, and the Granges plateau, which offers an unusual view of the Jura massif.

In L’Auberson, a natural ice rink provides an exceptional stop-off point for skating in a unique and rejuvenating natural setting.
