Shaped along the shores of Lac de Joux, Le Chenit developed into a municipality at the heart of Vaud’s Vallée de Joux in the Jura Mountains. Its settlements include Le Sentier, Le Brassus and L’Orient, spread across a high valley of forests, pastureland and lakeshore. Le Chenit is closely associated with Swiss watchmaking: Le Brassus is home to Audemars Piguet, while Le Sentier has long been a centre of precision-watch production. The Musée de l’Espace Horloger in Le Sentier traces this local craft and its technical heritage. Explore additional webcams nearby to see how the Vallée de Joux relates to Lac de Joux and the Jura.
