From Chasseral to Les Prés-d'Orvin, this family hike follows the gentle slope of the Chasseral ridge.

This family hike starts at the parking lot of the Hotel Chasseral and ends in Les Prés-d'Orvin. All along the walk and on a clear day, the hiker enjoys an exceptional panoramic view on the three lakes and the Alps. Going down gently along the Chasseral ridge, this itinerary even goes through some wooded pastures, typical landscapes of the Jura Arc. Also typical of the Grand Chasseral, the farmhouses await the visitor for a regional dish, often prepared with products made on the spot.
