The architectural shape of cheese dairies is often very different to that of houses. The location of the cheese dairy in Chaux-Neuve, in the centre of the village, tells us that it was considered a public building almost as important as the church, the town hall or the school.

Three ski jumps, resembling the edges of knives, attack a rocky hillside; the Côte Feuillée is a natural site favourable to ski jumping. In the Chaux-Neuve stadium, an interpretive circuit allows visitors to appreciate this sporting landscape, with its summit offering a unique sense of a ski jumper’s feelings. An exhibition and a film presenting the Nordic combined, a sporting skill, and a true local way of life. Every year, “chauniers” (inhabitants of Chaux Neuve) welcome thousands of spectators during international ski jumping and Nordic combined competitions organised on this site.

The High-Jura is well-known for its softwood forests, comprised of fir trees and spruces, two species with shared characteristics (conical shape; and with persistent needles). How to differentiate between them? On the fir tree, cones are directed upwards, its flat needles have two white lines on the underneath and their position on either side of the sprig is reminiscent of a comb; whilst on the spruce, cones fall downwards, the needles are sharp and positioned like a brush, all around the sprig.

Looking over the village of Châtelblanc at an altitude of 1,013 m, the belvedere of the Roche Blanche offers an in-depth view over the Val de Mouthe to the north, and over the high valley of the Saine and the isolated farms lining the forest of the High-Joux to the south.
