la borne au lion

Highlight • Viewpoint

This stone not only offers superb views over the Crêt de Chalam sector, but it also marks a historic boundary. Originally it marked the border between the kingdoms of France, Spain and Italy, then between Franche-Comté and Bugey and now the administrative border between the departments of Jura and Ain.

View of Crêt de Chalam from La Borne-au-Lion

Highlight • Viewpoint

From La Borne au Lion, you have a superb view of Crêt Chalam and on a clear day, an overview of the Alps. The Berbois refuge happens to be very close to the locality and is a great place to have lunch, or just to have a coffee.

August 17, 2021,MTB - Jura - La borne au lion (Olli)

OK, I followed the track of a 'colleague' and tried to spice it up with a few rides, but actually it's more of a bike ride ...... too much asphalt.
