Vallorbe

The Orbe River defines the setting of Vallorbe — its waters emerge from karst springs nearby and long supported industry in this Vaud Jura town near the French border. The Grottes de Vallorbe trace the river’s underground passage through limestone galleries, making local geology central to the town’s identity. Vallorbe developed as a centre of ironworking, a legacy explored at the Musée du Fer et du Chemin de Fer. Its station also recalls the town’s role on the historic rail route towards France, while the wooded Jura terrain sets it apart from the cities along Lake Geneva.
