This short hike in the Regional Natural Park of Doubs Horloger starts from Consolation-Maisonnettes near Guyans-Vennes in the Doubs. The path goes up the Lançot valley in the forest, to its source. Along the way you will discover the Cascade du Lançot located in the Cirque de Consolation. This waterfall flows from a height of 47 meters from the source cave of Lançot. It is fed only during the rainy season. A shady and pleasant route in a beautiful setting.

The Cirque de Consolation, also called the Val de Consolation, is a 350-meter-deep wilderness of the Jura massif. It is located in the village of Consolation-Maisonnettes, about fifty kilometers east of Besançon. This retreat was formed by a glacial collapse at the time of the alpine folding. The Dessoubre, Tabourot and Lançot rivers flow from the circus. Moreover, the Lançot generates a waterfall during heavy rains or when the snow melts. The Roche au Prêtre belvedere offers a superb view...

This route, starting from the Hôtel de Gigot near the village of Bretonvillers, will take you along the Le Dessoubre river into the magnificent gorges of this river valley. The route continues on the Bretonvillers plateau through pastures and forests. You will pass through the hamlet of Le Saucet before descending into the valley via the Hameau du Val.

Here is a nice round trip that you will do by bike on the cycle path from Gilley to Pontarlier. You will leave from the village Gilley and will be able to enjoy the countryside in this valley where the river Le Doubs flows. You will pass through the hamlets and villages along this cycle path: Les Auberges, La Longeville, Montbenoît, Maisons-du-Bois-Lièvremont, and Le Village Bas. You will arrive in Pontarlier where you will turn around to return to Gilley.
