Description
From Moutier, known for its machine tool industry, the path leads across the fields to the edge of the forest. Here the actual ascent begins. The narrow path goes through a lush forest to the metal ladders attached between the rocks. Over the ladders, you climb the last few meters up to the summit of the Graitery. This is a beautiful example of the typical geology of the folded Jura. Across the plateau, along pastures, the hike continues. The offer at the Auberge du Graitery, rustic and hearty, provides the perfect opportunity for a break. Then it goes down through a forest to the entrance of the Gorges de Court and further to the village of the same name to the train station. | From Moutier, city of microtechnology and machine tools, the path climbs through the fields to the edge of the forest.
