Les Platières

A pretty open route through high pastures from la Vie Neuve des Molunes, a sector which is characterised by its dispersed habitat. On the corner of the stopover gite AUX MOLUNES - LA VIE NEUVE, the trail starts on the path (yellow waymarking) along the hay fields towards les Granges. Staying on this path, head past a small ridge to your left and gradually descend. The path cuts through a small forest and opens onto a meadow. Take the grassy path that is more or less marked out descending along the ridge to the right. (Note to your left a former farm with a granary). Cut through a forest and exit onto a small road. Follow this road to the left to les Granges. The road to your right will take you to the houses in Laisia. A stone path ascends to the right towards les Platières. Bordered by ashes, it quickly ascends and opens out onto the combe at the summit. Cross this combe and head back down, opposite your, through the woods, to the hamlet of Les Platières. Take the very stony path to your left into the forest (white and red waymarking). Head to an open combe and follow a trail to your left into the pasture of Les Platières (cycling path). Go past a small lodge, down into a pasture to your right (cycling path) and reach the west ridge. Follow an old, little marked, path to the left of the valley that will take you to the crossroads in Cariche. The path (two cycling paths), descends through the meadows and heads up to a beautiful farm. Heads back downhill via a stone path to your left. You will come to a road, which you will follow to return to your starting point.

Itinerant hiking : The little loop of the Valserine

An exceptional route between ridges and valleys, with Le Crêt de la Neige as the highest point. Descend via the wild Valserine, climb back up to Crêt de Chalam, then return via the Borne au Lion, a place steeped in history. A complete immersion experience. From Lélex, set off to conquer the highest peak in the Jura: the Crêt de la Neige, at an altitude of 1720 metres. If you follow the Balcon du Léman route, you'll enjoy one of the most spectacular panoramas in Europe, with a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc and the entire Alpine chain. After this grandiose crossing, your route takes you to Chézery-Forens, a village steeped in history: in the past, Cistercian monks came here to clear the land, settle and make this valley, through which the peaceful Valserine flows, prosper. The final objective of this wonderful Jura adventure: to reach the Crêt de Chalam, culminating at 1545 metres. An emblematic summit, offering a final breath of freedom, nature and wild beauty before concluding this unforgettable loop. The route takes you through the heart of the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park, and part of the Haute Chaîne du Jura National Nature Reserve: a protected, unspoilt area to be explored with respect. Good to know - Protected area Part of the route passes through the Haute Chaîne du Jura National Nature Reserve, which is subject to special regulations: Dogs are not allowed, even on a lead. Camping in tents prohibited. Please respect these rules to preserve the richness of this exceptional environment.
