Why the Jura Chamois Trail?

After the Diots du Haut-Jura trail, which proposes a discovery of the local soil,
and the Lapidary Trail, which explains the region's prestigious know-how,
here is the Chamois trail, which takes you through the hills and valleys to evoke the fauna and geology of our Jura massif.

The aim of this trail is to offer everyone the freedom to discover and share the beauty of the Jura panoramas during a unique educational walk.
