Walk & talk
Hiking in the wild Jura
Escape for 1 or 2 days in the Jura with a certified mountain leader
Join us on the Jura trails. Belvederes, preserved forests, meadows and wooden pastures are waiting for you with the typical rich fauna and flora of the Jura
The Jura offers magical hiking opportunities through unspoilt valleys, peaks and ridges which we will enjoy to the full.
The natural environment in which we will evolve, and the signs of wildlife, will be given a great deal of attention. The forests, pastures and meadows of the Jura are rich in biodiversity with a fauna and flora that will offer itself to the attentive hiker. We may be lucky enough to see signs of lynx or wolf, predators of deer, chamois and roe deer also present in large numbers. The Capercaillie finds a precarious refuge in certain discreet places, not to mention the woodpeckers, owls and other ermines, squirrels and brown hares.
Hike details and programme
The hike will be prepared according to your choices and desires, physical condition, place of departure, choice of accommodation or - if on 2 days - the gîte or hotel. A bivouac or a night under tent are also possible, as well as the tasting of local specialities. Most of the time we will make a loop and will be able to tackle various themes that we will define together (fauna, flora, geology, culture and history, etc.)

Ce que les participants disent
My recent guided tour was more than just sightseeing; it was an unforgettable journey steeped in history, adventure, and newfound friendships. Our guide, Boudewijn, wasn't just knowledgeable - he was a true master of his craft. His wealth of information made every stop come alive, transporting us back in time and enriching the experience tenfold.
But Boudewijn wasn't just a walking encyclopedia. He was also incredibly attentive, ensuring everyone in the group felt comfortable, engaged, and included.
If you're looking for an experience that goes beyond the typical tourist fare, I wholeheartedly recommend joining a tour led by Boudewijn at Peak2Peace. You won't just see the sights - you'll feel them, understand them, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

I loved the hike "In the footsteps of the 39-45 smugglers"! For someone who isn't a great fan of walking, I found the route quite accessible and enjoyable. The guide's explanations of the historical context were fascinating, and I'll remember the fondue at the "Rendez-vous des sages" for a long time to come. A must for anyone who loves walking and history.

"Pourquoi aurais-je besoin d'un Accompagnateur en Montagne ? me suis-je demandé. "Je fais de la randonnée depuis mon enfance, je suis en forme et je connais tout. Je n'ai donc pas besoin d'un accompagnateur en montagne !, me suis-je dit. Et puis j'ai eu la chance de vivre une randonnée avec Peak2Peace et mon monde a changé.
Boudewijn vous emmène dans un tout nouveau voyage à travers les montagnes et la nature. Il vous fait tout voir sous un nouvel angle, il partage des histoires et des informations sur la vie sauvage, la géologie, la nature et l'histoire.
Grâce à lui, j'ai découvert une approche nouvelle et différente de la randonnée et j'ai appris de nouvelles choses et de nombreux petits secrets.
Aujourd'hui, je sors le plus souvent possible avec Boudewijn comme accompagnateur en montagne, car il m'emmène à chaque fois dans un voyage incroyable, immersif et nouveau, en toute sécurité.

My 15-year-old son and I were lucky enough to discover the Risoud forest with Boudewijn, with its flora, fauna, geology and magnificent landscapes, but above all its long history as a cross-border region and in particular the very difficult period of the Nazi occupation in 1940-44. Boudewijn was a perfect guide who, through his speeches, his in-depth research and the many visual aids he had prepared, was able to fascinate us and introduce us to people who behaved heroically and other players in this part of history that everyone should know about. We were 'immersed' and it was a very moving experience to share with all the participants in this highly original walk. And the superb cheese fondue we shared in the middle of nature was a much-appreciated extra. I can't recommend this wonderful experience highly enough.
