01/ Overview
The route
Short themed trail in the Jura from Les Breuleux across open pastures and through woodland. Near Les Envers, the route reaches its highest point at just over 1,100 m.
The Boucle Sud, a themed trail in the canton of Jura, begins directly at Les Breuleux railway station. The route initially leads out of the village and descends gently. Meadows and pastures soon open up; between scattered houses, the trail climbs at a steady pace towards the Jura heights.
By Les Envers, most of the ascent has been completed. Shortly afterwards, the roughly five-kilometre route reaches its highest point at just over 1,100 m. The first section largely follows marked hiking trails, while the second half runs outside the marked hiking network for an extended stretch. Open terrain now alternates with woodland.
On the descent, the Boucle Sud turns back towards lower ground. Petit Crêt is not climbed, but remains just over 100 metres away in the woods towards the end. There is no public transport connection directly at the finish; the Les Breuleux, est stop is around 600 metres away. After about an hour and a half, the route ends at Les Ravières.
