Les Sommetres: An Eagle's Nest above the Doubs




We turned left at this signpost located half an hour walk through silent forests from Le Noirmont, and discovered the very most beautiful eagle's nest of the entire Jura: the Cabane des Sommetres high above the Doubs perched on a rock!




Views in any direction are phantastic. The best: from the toilet, for sure!

Rebuilt in the 1990th, the place is tiny, with about 10 sleeping places, a large table and basic kitchen utensils, as well as a number of fondue caclons!

The access is a bit exposed, but well secured with handrails and...

...once in the hut safe even for the smallest ones! Take some good food and wine, 3Sfr. per person and your sleeping bag with you, and you will have an unforgettable overnight in your memory for sure.
