01/ Overview
The route
A short themed trail in the Jura between meadows and woodland: the circular route climbs towards Jolimont, later follows Le Miéry and returns to Undervelier.
Starting at the Undervelier, poste bus stop, the short themed trail passes through the village before soon emerging onto open meadows and pastures. The yellow-marked hiking trail climbs towards Jolimont and, after just over a kilometre, reaches its highest point at around 640 m. Along the way, the Balade éther explores its theme, the Sanctuaire élémentaire of Haute Sorne.
The route then descends into the forest. The Grotte de Sainte-Colombe, a rock shelter north-west of Undervelier, lies around 250 m off the route and is therefore not passed directly. In the final third, the trail follows Le Miéry for a short stretch. Here, the route leaves the marked hiking network before the first houses of Undervelier come into view. After a total of around three and a half kilometres, the circular walk ends back at the Undervelier, poste bus stop.
