Steps
From the station Saignelégier, turn right. Arrived at the main road, continue opposite on rue des Rangiers. Before the Coop center, turn left and join the road. Cross it and take the street towards Cimetière. Continue on this one and leave the city. After the small wood, turn right. Shortly before the end of the street, take the track on the left. Continue straight ahead, then left at the end of the trail. Cross several sections of forest and finally arrive at Les Pommerats. Turn right at the end of the street then take a second right at the intersection. At the crossroads of the three paths, take the path opposite in the undergrowth. Join the left road at the end of the forest. It will not be long in coming up. At the second large hairpin bend, take the path descending into the woods. Cross the road to resume the path. Go past the farm and turn right. Go down into the woods on 1,500 meters to the Moulin Jeannottat. Turn right then follow a path in the Doubs gorge. The valley widens at the end of 3 km and the path thus joins a tarred path near a small group of dwellings in the middle of nature. 500 m further on, leave the road to take a path on the right, between two hills. Go up, then go back down into the forest and reach the road. Go right towards Soubey and continue on 200 m. Cross the Doubs to reach the village.
