The Lapidary Trail

The aim of this trail is to offer everyone the freedom to discover and share the beauty of the Jura's panoramas, through a unique educational walk.
Promoting hiking in a different form was the objective of the commune of Septmoncel and the Entente Sportive, supported by the Dalloz Industrie Lapidaire and Clavière companies and the Bourgogne-Franche Comté region. The emphasis is on modern signposting, allowing hikers to discover the wealth of the Haut-Jura without a map.

What is lapidary?

The word "lapidary" comes from the Latin "lapis" which means "stone".
