Best Time of Year
Description
The hike starts at the Hotel Chasseral, where the bus drops you off, whether you came up through Saint-Imier or La Neuveville. Interested in the historical aspect of the Chasseral summit? Extend your hike by making a detour to the telecommunications antenna, which is impressive at 120 m high. Alternatively, the walk to Chaumont starts just in front of the hotel. The path follows the ridge to the pass. At this altitude, we are at the limit of tree growth. From the pass, the first trees appear: a few spruce trees, one or two maple trees. The vegetation becomes thicker and thicker as we enter the Combe Biosse nature reserve. The route continues to Chaumont, from where we can take the funicular towards Neuchâtel, but not without a last look at the Chasseral summit and its antenna from the panoramic tower.
