Roche d'Antre

Roche d'Antre is a limestone summit in the Jura standing at roughly 960 meters, with gentle slopes on its north side and steeper drops on the south. The two contrasting faces show different erosion patterns typical of this region's geology.

The limestone here formed during the Jurassic period when marine deposits compressed into layers of sedimentary rock. This formation reflects a time hundreds of millions of years in the past.

The summit overlooks the waters below and serves as a natural viewing point where visitors pause to take in the surrounding landscape. This vantage point has made it a destination for those seeking connection with the natural environment.

The northern side offers the easiest access with marked trails running through forests and open areas. Weather can shift rapidly, so sturdy footwear and layered clothing are important for any visit.

After rainfall, water levels below can rise quickly and flood temporary pathways that cross the lower terrain. These seasonal shifts alter visiting conditions, particularly during wetter months.
