In this small village in the Hautes-Combes, known to have existed since the Middle Ages, crafts and farming activities are still very present, and given value in particular by the Maison du Fromage (Cheese House).

I'ts difficult not to notice this peculiar fold, almost folded in on itself. It is in fact a “secondary” or disharmonic fold, arising due to the overlapping of the Molunes anticline over the neighbouring Septmoncel valley syncline. This is a remarkable example of hard rock’s ability to bend over time, and even over millions of years, under considerable pressure. 

Dark grey in colour, the wallcreeper is almost invisible on the rocks when immobile. Its flaming red wings bring colour to the cliff when it spreads them to flit against the rocks, giving it the name “wallcreeper”.  When hunting for insects and spiders that it catches in cracks in the walls using its thin curved beak, this bird tirelessly jumps, crawls and flutters around the cliffs. But in the summer, you won’t see it here, as it has already retreated up into the mountains. Your only chance of seeing this bird is between autumn and spring.

The view from this belvedere, which can be seen from Sur les Grès, overlooks the Flumen wind gap, cut into the Sur les Grès anticline. By digging deep gorges at the same time folding occurs, over tens of millions of years, the river has created a perfect cut into the many geological layers that are well visible on the Sur les Grès anticline upfold and shows the very core of the Jura’s folds.

This small lake is in fact a reservoir artificially created on a peat bog environment in 1989 to meet the drinking water needs of the Hautes-Combes municipalities. Its waters disappear into a ponor, which was once adapted to accommodate a wheel for energy production. The waters then run into the Flumen, around 6 kilometres to the North. Swimming and fishing are prohibited here, and, due to its beauty, this site invites contemplation and listening.

In karstic landscapes, ponors are formed when naturally acid waters enter into fissures and dissolve the limestone rock. Located on the edge of a dry valley, the Picard ponor attests to the former presence of a stream discharge that filtered into the rocks in this exact place. Often, ponors are connected to a network of underground galleries into which rivers run. Since 1987, colouration has proven that the waters running through the Picard ponor resurge 3 km further along at the Bief Noir source, one of the Flumen’s affluents, between Septmoncel and Saint-Claude.

The habitat in the High-Combes is a result of the late clearing having been carried out during the 13th and 14th centuries, and later still during the 16th and 17th centuries. Land was leased by the Saint-Claude abbey in long strips running perpendicular to the combe in which each family could live self-sufficiently. The bottom of the combe served as prairies and hay fields, its immediate surroundings were reserved for grain farming, and the ridge was reserved for fire and craft wood and for pastures.

The Flumen - which means “river” in latin - is actually nothing like a river. With its impetuous torrent, which can be quite impressive during periods of heavy rainfall, it is fed by the runoff water from the Lamoura lake and the Hautes-Combes. The Flumen waterfalls spurt out into a dark and wild cirque.

Born from the ingenuity of master carpenters, “strong attics”, like the one overlooking the house to your left, is also a testament to the High-Jura’s memory. Both a pantry and a safe, these attics contained grain, food and seeds, as well as a wardrobe, precious objects, tools, writings and essential goods, protected from fire and far from greedy eyes. Its walls are often adorned with crop accounting records, climate calendars and family events. Would you like to visit a strong attic? Head to the Maison du Parc in Lajoux.

This is a small atypical fold in the Jura’s pleated structure. Its very tight anticline shape is the result of the cramming of a series of superficial limestone layers together, dating back to the Cretaceous period, and caused by the overlapping of the Molunes anticline and the Septmoncel syncline. The marl banks between the layers of limestone facilitated the spectacular detachment and folding to which it owes its reputation and name. Lastly, this disharmonic fold has been shaped by the same erosion that has slowly created the Flumen wind gap over the last few millions of years.
