Agriculture landscape

Discover the evolution of the landscapes of the Pre-Alps shaped by agricultural activity. As you hike along, the signs and trail diary will tell you more about the ecological network of the Jogne, hedges and their uses, wet meadows and the heritage of trees.

Alternative: Montminard route

There is a second signposted variant of the farm path (light green route):

  • Distance: 3.5 km
  • Walking time: 1:15
  • Difference in altitude: 150 m

From the Charmey museum to the Montminard mountain pasture, a fairly steep section. Along the Liderrey marsh, two wooden crossings make it easier to cross drainage ditches. Two educational panels (with QR code for translation into German and English). Be sure to wear good footwear, as the section is regularly damp and not very well marked in the terrain.
