Tourist offices Doubs

To make the department discover its inhabitants and to travel travellers, the Tourism Committee of Doubs had the idea of developing this original concept: the Safari GPS. Halfway between the track game and the treasure hunt, it leads you to meet the most important places in the territory. Among them, the Mérey-sous-Montrond karst trail is a real geological treasure: You can climb in a green setting and punctuated by unsuspected caves. Would you like to add a playful dimension to this educational course? Very well, you will be required a GPS allowing to return geographical coordinates, a hint of curiosity and a good dose of observation! Accessible to everyone, an activity that combines nature, culture, and adventure…

Tariff: free if you own a GPS; Otherwise you can rent one at the tourist office.

Duration: variable.

Difficulty: pretty easy.

Other practical information: to respect the tradition of Safari GPS, provide a gadget to leave in the treasure box, in exchange for the one you won.
