You get to La Brévine by PostBus either from Le Locle or from Fleurier. The path leads through pastures and along the southern shores of Lake Taillères. The countryside is charming and peaceful, the lake refreshing, a paradise for dragonflies and butterflies in summer. The ascent from Les Cottards takes the visitor through a beautiful forest on an idyllic trail with moss and fern where fairies and pixies make their home.

A bit later you reach La Citadelle, the highest point of the hike, offering a magnificent panoramic view of the Jura and the Alps. While descending to Boveresse, you will discover the chalet Monlési, where Jean-Jacques Rousseau used to live, on the right hand side. If you keep very quiet, you might spot a deer or a woodpecker. Almost at the end of the hike there is another place worth stopping at, the majestic linden Tilleul des Catholiques, which is more than 500 years old. Hidden in a cavity of the tree trunk, there is a statue of the Virgin, a honeypot, and a candle.

In Boveresse is the absinthe drying room with a permanent exhibition of the culture and drying methods of the absinthe. The arrival in Môtiers will be celebrated in due style with a typical fresh water fountain in the center of the table which gently troubles the precious brewage ready for tasting.
