Bois-d'Amont is located in an ancient glacial valley between Lac des Rousses in France and Lac de Joux in Switzerland. Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Bois-d'Amont is choosing this location as the focus of their stay.

Culture and History

The history of the village is closely linked to the processing of spruce wood: in the 19th century, Bois-d'Amont specialised in manufacturing products for boissellerie and tabletterie. The Musée de la Boissellerie is housed in a restored former sawmill and conveys the identity of Bois-d'Amont associated with spruce, as well as the tradition of woodworking. The Association des Gardiens de la Boissellerie is also committed to communicating the village's craft and cultural heritage.

Another facet of the local experience is the immersive scenovision “Rêves dans la maison de Madeleine”, which is based on statements by residents of Bois-d'Amont. The Espace artisanal Bois d'Amont offers workshops for adults and children, a shop and temporary exhibitions.

Winter and Trails

The Site Nordique de Bois d'Amont offers cross-country skiing, snowshoe hikes, sled rides, excursions with a musher, Nordic-style ski touring and walks on footpaths. Two routes from Bois-d'Amont can be used both with cross-country skis and snowshoes, providing access to the Grande Traversée du Jura.

On the “Les Marais” route, cross-country skiers follow the river and pass the Les Marmousets leisure area below. Les Marmousets offers a secured area for learning to ski in a playful way, as well as a freely accessible toboggan run.

Routes and Nature

The “L’Orbe et le mur frontière” route begins at the Office de Tourisme de Bois-d'Amont and leads to the Swiss border, which is marked by a boundary stone and a border wall. The route is 4.2 kilometres long, very easy and equipped with interpretation stations.

Numerous marked trails for hikes and mountain bike tours run through the Forêt du Risoux. The Forêt du Risoux lies north of Lac des Rousses between Bois-d'Amont, Les Rousses and Bellefontaine and extends into neighbouring Switzerland.
