This is a story of Time

After climbing a Jura summit, come and watch a sunset synchronised with the rising of a super full moon. At this moment our two main stars are almost on the same axis with the earth. To witness such a spectacle from the heights is an unforgettable experience

The hike to the summit will last between 1 and 2 hours, accompanied by chamois and bird songs such as the Pic Noir or the Coucou. From there we will look eastwards at the Lake Geneva region, the lake and the Alps, then westwards at the waves of the folded Jura, shaded by infinite colours.


Magically, we will find ourselves between the rising moon and the setting sun. They will compete in beauty and will make us dizzy, not knowing which way to look.


The descent will take place under a full moon, (almost) without headlamps, as the moon will light up our path, drawing unlikely shadows. We may be lucky enough to hear the cries of owls on the hunt, for example the Tawny Owl or the European Owl.
