Those considering Mouthier-Haute-Pierre as a destination can choose from historic buildings, local history and a variety of landscape-focused experiences. The route to the Roche de Hautepierre starts and ends at the town hall; other routes lead to viewpoints over the Loue Valley and as far as the source of the Loue.

Churches, monastic remains and local history

The protected remains of the Ancien prieuré include church ruins, the cloister and the former buildings of the religious and priory district, including their decorative features. The parish Church of Saint-Laurent provides a separate point of reference: it dates in its entirety to the 16th century and was altered in the 18th century. It has been listed as a historic monument since June 8, 1926. Its construction history, subsequent alterations and protected status are three distinct aspects.

A small museum honoring Marie and Césaire Phisalix is on the first floor of the town hall. Marie Phisalix established it there in 1912. The dedication adds a biographical connection to local history alongside the buildings.

Viewpoints, routes and natural sites

The route to the Roche de Hautepierre starts and ends at the town hall in Mouthier-Haute-Pierre. A notable landmark is the Belvédère de la Roche de Hautepierre: at an elevation of 881 meters, it offers views of the upper Loue Valley, the Jura Mountains and Mont Blanc. The Roche de Hautepierre is also a climbing area.

The Mont Germain route focuses more on the landscape along the way. It passes through forests, meadows and orchards at the foot of the Roche de Hautepierre, then returns to Mouthier-Haute-Pierre. The route to the Aiguillons de Brasse offers a different experience: it begins in the village, leads to a viewpoint overlooking the Loue Valley, then follows the Loue upstream along its right bank to its source. The descriptions therefore differ in their respective focus—viewpoints, landscapes along the route or the course of the river.

The Grotte des Faux-Monnayeurs and the Source du Pontet also represent different natural features. The cave lies on the right bank of the gorges and extends for about 1,500 meters of galleries. The Source du Pontet emerges from a rock face near Mouthier-Haute-Pierre, not far from the cave. Here, an extensive cave contrasts with a spring that flows out of the rock.
