Large forest clearing at 840 m altitude on Mont Poupet summit (access from Salins-les-Bains). Flat terrain, gravel parking, shaded. Picnic tables, children's games, BBQs. Starting point for hiking, mountain biking, paragliding. Calm at night, busy during day. Narrow, winding access roads. Potential ONF enforcement depending on season.

Good to know

- Risk of fines by ONF (varies by season)
- Wind and cool nights at altitude
Motorhome access : Very winding access on narrow, uphill tarmac roads. Flat natural terrain and accessible meadows. Gravel parking. Maneuvering possible but requires caution on uphill sections.
