Tips from the Community
The Baerenkopf is a well-known summit in the Masevaux valley. Located on the wooded ridge around 1,000 meters that borders the Territoire de Belfort and Haut-Rhin, it nevertheless reveals a beautiful view of the valley, especially in the months when the vegetation is sparser. A refuge is located right next to it, in a slightly more open landscape.
