Plant and wild life in Vallée de Joux are exceptional: hectares of woods with around ten different tree species, delightful views, pastureland and wide open spaces - the chief ingredients for a pleasant hike. Our typical and abundant fir is the main tree species in the forest of Le Risoud and designs a natural border to France.
 
Vallée de Joux counts various summits from where you get a unique panorama: from the top of Dent de Vaulion, 1483 m, you can overlook eight different Swiss and French lakes when the weather is clear; from the summit of Mont-Tendre, 1679 m, you dominate the lowland area as well as the Alps all the way from Mont Blanc to Bernese Oberland; from Roche Champion, 1372 m, you view the picturesque little villages in Franche-Comté. 

As to Lac de Joux and Lac Brenet, lined with beaches and woods, you’re invited to stroll and relax.
