The Col du Chasseral is the highest point in the canton and well worth the diversions. What's more, the view of the three lakes (or 4 if the weather's clear) is breathtaking.

Le col du chasseral est le point culminant du canton, il en vaut forcément le détour. De plus, la vue sur les trois (voir 4 s'il fait dégagé) lacs est imprenable.
Le détour jusqu'à l'antenne vaut la peine.
On peut profiter de se rafraichir au restaurant du col
