Hiking

Dent de Vaulion is a striking peak in the Vaud Jura Mountains, offering breathtaking panoramic views of eight lakes. The hike begins and ends at Le Pont train station, a small village on the shores of Lac de Joux. From here, the trail leads through gentle forests and meadows before gradually becoming steeper.

Shortly before the summit, a mountain inn invites you to take a well-deserved break before the final ascent. At the top, you'll be rewarded with a spectacular panorama: the view stretches from the Jura Mountains across the Alps to Lake Geneva.

After the descent, you can relax by the lake in Le Pont or enjoy regional specialties in one of the restaurants. The return journey is conveniently made from Le Pont train station.

Le Pont on Lac de Joux

Highlight • Settlement

The tranquil village of Le Pont on the shores of Lac de Joux is always worth a visit. Make yourself comfortable on the shore of the largest lake in the Jura Mountains, or find a nice restaurant to round off your day of hiking – or better yet, both.

Dent de Vaulion

Highlight • Summit

From the Dent de Vaulion you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama. The 1,483 meter high summit is the highest mountain in the region. When the weather is clear you can see the whole of western Switzerland with its numerous lakes. For example, the Vallée de Joux with the two lakes Lac de Joux and Lac de Brenet. A little way from the summit there is a cozy little restaurant where you can reward yourself for the climb up the mountain with a fondue.
