Bois-d'Amont

The landscape around Bois-d'Amont is a high Jura valley edged by the Risoux forest and crossed by the Orbe, which has shaped both the settlement’s linear form and its long association with woodland trades. Near the Swiss border, the commune lies within the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park, where snowy winters and wooded plateaux support a well-established cross-country skiing tradition. Bois-d'Amont is closely linked to boissellerie, the making of small wooden household objects, and the Musée de la Boissellerie traces this local craft. Lake Les Rousses adds an open stretch of water to the largely forested setting. Browse additional webcams from the Haut-Jura and the Franco-Swiss borderlands to extend your view of this Jura valley.
