Seuls face à l'immensité : escapade magique sur les sommets jurassiens | Traversée du Jura — Ép. 7

Discover the most beautiful viewpoints in the Jura Mountains in this new episode of my Great Jura Crossing (GTJ) on foot! I'm taking you along for two new stages of the GR®5, and for a stunning bonus overlooking Lake Geneva... and Mont Blanc! On the agenda for this video: the continuation of my adventures through the meadows and forests of the Haut-Jura, a bit of history about the Lion marker, a detour to Crêt au Merle and a magnificent bivouac overlooking the entire Jura Mountains range, a pleasant descent into the Valserine Valley... We'll then temporarily leave the GR®5 and I have a little surprise in store for you: we'll hike together to the summit of Montrond (1596 m), which, for me, is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the massif! It offers a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Lake Geneva, Geneva, Mont Blanc, and numerous Alpine peaks... ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: Bivouac is a privilege that relies on respect. Let's be discreet, leave no trace of our visit (fires, litter, etc.), and respect the local inhabitants, wildlife, and flora. Some areas are protected by specific regulations: let's preserve the beauty of these landscapes by respecting the rules and practicing responsible bivouac. #leavenotrace Immerse yourself in the heart of the Jura's most beautiful landscapes during these two new stages (stages 15 & 16) of my Jura crossing, filmed in high quality.

After the Vosges, I now invite you to join me along the trails of the Jura, a mountain range with many faces and sumptuous natural landscapes, from the Doubs Valley to the majestic peaks of the Jura Mountains. 👉 To learn everything about hiking across the Jura Mountains, feel free to consult the complete route guide, with all my tips and detailed account: https://www.echappeesmontagnardes.fr/...
