Details – 2-day Hike and Photography Workshop

Day 1

We will meet at Noiraigue train station at 9am and will hike up to the Swiss Grand Canyon, Creux du Van. The views from up there are breathtaking, with the contrast of steep cliffs and green Jura landscapes. We will then carry on through beautiful pastures and forests all the way to Les Rochats, where we will spend the evening and the night. If the weather allows, we will be able to take some pictures of the night sky.

Technical information

Distance: 13km
Ascent: 820m
Descent: 380m

Day 2

The second day will start with another hike through beautiful forests and pastures. Once we go up to 1300m, trees are becoming rare and we might be lucky enough to catch sight of some chamois. We will then reach the third highest peak of the Swiss Jura, the Chasseron at 1607m. From there we will enjoy the views of Lake Neuchatel, Lake Geneva and the stunning Alpine background, before walking down to the nice town of Sainte-Croix, where we will take the train back.
