Intro
Do you fancy an energetic walk with a unique view? This route takes you through forests and clearings to the Cousimbert. The view alone is worth the walk: from the Lac de la Gruyère, the Swiss Plateau and the Jura mountain range can be seen along with the Chasseral.
Description
The route starts from the car park in Le Brand. Follow the piste in line with the ski lift and then leave the ski area to join the path that leads to the Cousimbert.
You will find yourself in the wild natural environment between forests and trees so typical of the Pre-Alps. After the long climb, you reach the ridge between the Cousimbert and the summit of La Berra. The effort of the climb is rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view: from the Lac de la Gruyère, flanked by the summit of the Gibloux, the Swiss plateau is lined by the long chain of the Jura, with the Chasseral rising to 1,607 m, the Moléson (2,002 m) and the Vanils chain separated by the Intyamon valley in the west, Vounetse and the Dents Vertes in the foreground to the south, with the Gros Brun (2,104 m), the Kaiseregg (2,185 m) and the Stockhorn, and finally a fine view over the Bernese Alps to the east.
After the panoramic hike over the wide ridge, you reach the Buvette La Berra, where you can fortify yourself before or after the climb to the summit. After the descent, you can take the cable car back to the starting point. Those who do not want to take the cable car down to the valley can extend the tour via the signed trail via La Joux d'Allière and descend from there to Le Brand.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
