Creux du Van — Local services in Provence

I've been here a few times and Creux du Van has been spectacular in every season. It's a beautiful & natural rock formation in the Juea mountains in Western Switzerland, quite close to the French border. A little planning is required if you are using public transport. Plan to travel to Noiraigue by train. The trek to the top and around the edge is nice. Not very stressful. You can pause half way to the top in the small farm with the goats and chickens.

If you drive there, it might drive up to the restaurant Le Soliat. Please call them to verify. I would recommend this way for...

I do recommended that you combine this sightseeing with a walk, as the cliff as sole attraction (depending on how long you had to drive to get there) is not THAT spectacular. For this, stop at a parking about 2 km before you arrive at the site and walk the rest of the way. You are in a relatively remote area so take a few provisions with you :) Good thing to know: everything is free of charge (parking &...
