Saignelegier

Tucked into the high plateau of the Franches-Montagnes in the Swiss Jura, Saignelegier is a place whose character is shaped by open grazing land, spruce woodland and cool upland weather. The Doubs valley lies to the south, where the river forms stretches of the Swiss–French border amid more deeply folded Jura terrain. Saignelegier is closely associated with the Franches-Montagnes horse, Switzerland’s native horse breed. Each August, it hosts the Marché-Concours, a horse show and festival founded in 1897. Farming, horse breeding and cross-border Jura traditions remain central to local life.
