Trail: Le tour du Crêt de Chalam
The ascent takes you along a variety of paths that wind their way up to the highest point, nicknamed the 'Matterhorn of the Jura'.
From Noirecombe, enjoy the beautiful view of the Roche des Hirondelles and the Roche Franche.
The path then leads to Borne au Lion (Lion's Horn), where it is well worth stopping to read the signs explaining the history of this important Resistance site.
Continuing towards the Crêt de Chalam, the path crosses the forest before reaching the first step of the staircase to the summit (there are 190 more to go before reaching the summit at 1545m), from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Haute Chaîne du Jura, the Haut Jura plateau and the Alps.
The descent follows the ridge, passing the ruins of Grand Mannet. The path then follows the Forens stream.
