Entre-Deux-Monts offers several different ways to enjoy the outdoors: the Étang des Drillettes is a place for nature watching, hiking trails pass through the village or list specific waypoints, and a cycling tour comes with details on distance and duration. At Morillon, a viewpoint and a climbing area add to the options. Which activity takes priority depends on whether you would rather watch wildlife, choose a hiking route, cycle, visit a valley viewpoint or climb.
Pond and Hiking Trails
The Étang des Drillettes is a peaceful pond on the Quenot stream. You can watch fish, birds and dragonflies along its shady banks. Swimming is prohibited, so plan to visit the pond for nature watching, not as a swimming spot. Route F runs from Col de Gyps via Les Cachets to the town hall in Entre-Deux-Monts, then crosses the Quenot at the Étang des Drillettes.
The GRP Champagnole Nozeroy Jura hiking trail passes through Entre-Deux-Monts. Route F, by contrast, specifies a sequence of waypoints and a crossing at the pond. When planning a hike, noting the route through the village helps distinguish between a trail that passes through the municipality and a described route with named stops.
Cycling Tour with Specific Details
The Grandvaux, Malvaux au fil de l'eau loop by Jurassic Vélo Tours is rated moderate, is 45.6 kilometres long and is listed as taking four hours. It follows the Route d'Entre-deux-Monts to a point below the village. The four-hour estimate applies to the entire loop; the detail about the Route d'Entre-deux-Monts specifies the route as far as the area below the village. Together, the distance, duration, difficulty level and loop format give you different points of reference when planning this cycling tour.
Morillon: Viewpoint and Climbing Area
The Belvédère du Morillon overlooks the Lemme Valley from a height of about 50 metres. It can be reached by an out-and-back route from the RF du Bois de Ban car park towards Col du Morillon. Plan the viewpoint as an out-and-back trip and check trail conditions before setting off, as they may change.
The Le Morillon climbing area has around twenty freely accessible routes graded from 4 to 7, ranging from 8 to 25 metres in length. Grades and lengths offer different points of reference when choosing a route. Check route availability and safety conditions on site. There is also a car park and a picnic area at the site. Visitor facilities may change, so check before planning your visit whether the car park and picnic area are available.
