Les Bois occupies a high karst plateau in the Franches-Montagnes district of Switzerland’s Jura. Pasture woodland, dry-stone walls and isolated farmsteads give this upland commune its recognisable Jura character, while the deeply cut valley of the Doubs River lies nearby towards the French border. The village is served by the Chemins de fer du Jura line, linking it with La Chaux-de-Fonds and Saignelégier. Horse breeding remains part of the identity of the Franches-Montagnes, home of the Swiss Franches-Montagnes breed. Walking and cycling routes cross open grazing land and wooded folds rather than an urban centre. Browse additional webcams from the Franches-Montagnes and Jura to extend your view of this Swiss upland region.
