Impressive rock faces along the Lison

Highlight • Other

The valley is beautiful, the rock walls down to the road and... the Lison flows very quietly, without any fuss like the last few kilometers.

The Loue Valley - indescribable!

Unfortunately, we were not able to follow the river everywhere. This makes such atmospheres all the more beautiful.

I can only recommend the Lison and this route. Bathing in the Lison is normal for the French. I can't remember the last time I bathed in a river.

South foothills of Mont Poupet, beautiful viewpoint on Salins-les-Bains and, with good views, to Mont Blanc. Located directly on the GR 59 or as a short detour from the road.
