01/ Overview

The route

Fishermen are often met along the path. The Doubs has a unique fish population including the authentic Doubs trout with black stripes, barbel, grayling, pike and of course the elusive apron, also known as Roi du Doubs.

It is only a few steps from the Goumois, douane stop to the starting point. The yellow-waymarked hiking trail leaves Goumois and soon enters the forest. It leads gently up and down through predominantly wooded terrain. With around 200 metres of elevation gain in total, the elevation profile remains moderate.

Later, open meadows and pastures provide bright interludes between the long forest sections. Clairbié is reached after just over two hours. From there, the route continues towards Lobchez along easy hiking trails. Between the settlements, shady forest paths alternate with open sections, while the trail continues to rise and fall only gently.

Towards the end, there is one final short climb. Shortly before Soubey, the hike reaches its highest point at around 575 metres. A short descent then leads into the village. After 13 kilometres and just over three hours, the hike ends near the Soubey, village stop.

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
