The treasures of the Mont d’Or ridge

A true “botanical garden”, the high-altitude lawns of the Mont d’Or ridge are home to exceptional floral diversity. Rare flowers, such as the Pulsatilla alpina or the Nigritella have found refuge here. As part of a rational development policy, this exceptional site has been classed a Sensitive Natural Area by the Département of Doubs and has also been included in the European network of protected Natura 2000 sites. These classifications aim to reconcile human activities with environmental sensitivities, thereby allowing to protect and highlight the area whilst ensuring the territory’s economic viability.
