Les Rasses: Hôtel et Resraurant Les Planets - Les Rasses - Route du Chasseron
Les Rasses straddles a broad Jura ridge in Vaud, and its open pastures above Sainte-Croix have shaped it into a small mountain-resort settlement. The Route du Chasseron crosses this rolling upland terrain towards Chasseron, one of the Swiss Jura’s leading summits, while Hôtel-Restaurant Les Planets forms part of the area’s roadside hospitality. Les Rasses belongs to the Sainte-Croix–Les Rasses ski area, where pistes and Nordic routes make use of the gentler relief rather than high-alpine slopes. Sainte-Croix is closely associated with the manufacture of music boxes and automata, crafts that remain an important part of this corner of Vaud’s cultural identity.

Built around the high Jura pastures above Sainte-Croix, Les Rasses grew into a small mountain resort used throughout the year. The settlement lies on the Vaud Jura beneath Le Chasseron, a prominent summit above Lake Neuchâtel and the Swiss plateau. In winter, the area is part of a Nordic skiing and snowshoeing landscape; warmer months bring walkers to the open ridges and woodland paths. Nearby Sainte-Croix has a long association with musical boxes and mechanical music, celebrated at the CIMA museum. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Vaud Jura.

Vaud has served as a French-speaking heartland within Switzerland since 1803. Its territory runs from the Jura foothills across the fertile plateau to the shores of Lake Geneva and the Vaud Alps, giving the canton a notably varied geography. Lausanne, the cantonal capital, rises above the lake and is home to the International Olympic Committee; nearby, the terraced vineyards of Lavaux are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Along the eastern lakeshore, Château de Chillon stands beside the water near Montreux, while the Alpine resorts above it lead into higher country. Winegrowing, lake transport and urban culture all shape daily life here. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Lake Geneva.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
