Tips from the Community
Pontarlier is a mountain town located 837 meters above sea level in the heart of the Jura Mountains. As the capital of Haut Doubs, it is located at the entrance to a vast area of protected natural areas, where forests, lakes and green meadows are essential for the production of Mont d'Or and Comté cheese. Pontarlier was once known worldwide for its production of absinthe at the beginning of the last century. Today, the city has revived this tradition, with two distilleries once again producing absinthe.

The Mont-Calvaire is a hill of Sombacour which entered the historical heritage thanks to its way of the cross punctuated by 14 stations. These stations are small buildings topped with a cross and commemorating the passion of Christ. In addition to the religious aspect of the place, the hill is also conducive to good vertical kilometer training for trail enthusiasts. Also, the view from the top is superb.

This small pond is a real haven of peace, next to an equally peaceful town. It is an ideal place to stop, refuel and contemplate the reflections of clouds or trees in the water. Ornithology enthusiasts, get your cameras!

Pontarlier is the capital of the "green fairy". It is here that the absinthe liqueur so popular in the nineteenth century and originating in the Val de Travers in the Swiss jura was produced industrially. The drink was nicknamed so because of its beautiful green color. She probably made you see fairies because wormwood has a hallucinogenic substance. It was forbidden to consume. Pontarlier is the second highest town in France after Briançon. Its city center is very pleasant.
