7 days to discover the magnificent winegrowing villages of the Jura.

This hike combines the discovery of a remarkable heritage and a multifaceted nature. In the evening, the stages combine comfort and gastronomy… What a program!

Departing from the Royal Saltworks of Arc et Senans (Unesco World Heritage Site) this itinerary crosses the “Good Country”, i.e. Revermont, situated between the plain and the Jura mountains. These lands of vineyards and their hillsides offer breathtaking views, with their famous cliffs and secluded spots.

Arbois, Château Chalon, Frontenay, Baume les Messieurs, are all villages of character, full of history and know-how. Churches, castles and abbeys stand out in this preserved nature, where the landscapes are different at every bend in the road… In short, a week of total immersion in a world full of history and flavours!
