60km on 2 days of trail running in the surroundings of St-Cergue
The first day will take you successively to the ruins of the Oujon Convent, the "buvette d'alpage des Pralets", the "Mont Sâla", Le Noirmont, the Carroz-Jura hut and, to finish, to the "Fruitières de Nyon".
If you still have enough energy left, you can enjoy the various activities on offer in the Basse-Ruche leisure area (zip lines, archery, football and swing golf, adventure park and jogging) or simply sit out on the terrace.
Do not hesitate to book an accomodation in St-Cergue to refill your energy !
The second outing is a little shorter, but just as beautiful. It is mainly around and on the Massif de la Dôle and Barillette.
There you have it, you just have to put on your walking shoes to come and discover our magnificent region!
Estimated average time: 5 hours on the 1st day and 4 hours on the 2nd day.

Summit of La Dôle
The Dôle summit is a major focuspoint in the natural heritage of the Jura, as it is visible from the whole western part of Lake Geneva region.
La Dôle is situated between the French and Swiss borders. From its summit you can admire a stunning view : on one side the Alps with the Mont Blanc, Lake Geneva region and of course lake Geneva itself with the “Jet d’eau”, on the other side the “Mont-Jura” and the Lake of Les Rousses.
The fauna lovers will undoubtedly like observing groups of chamois who live on the hillsides of La Dôle, whereas the fans of technology surely will appreciate the dimensions and materials used in the enormous white “bowl” on the summit. This observatory is being used as a meteorological station as well as a traffic regulator for the International Geneva Airport.
