The Jogne Valley Heritage Trail
The cultural heritage - both built and intangible - of the villages in the Jogne valley has been strongly influenced by the alpine pasture season. The Sentier des patrimoines de la Jogne (Jogne Heritage Trail) takes you along this common thread to discover, via panels, around sixty buildings and living traditions between Broc-Fabrique and Jaun. The 22-kilometre route is part of a network of signposted footpaths. Accessible to both experienced walkers and families, it can easily be split into 3-hour stages, starting from Jaun, Charmey or Broc-Fabrique.

As you pass through the villages and hamlets, 45 panels describe key elements of the built heritage, chosen for their cultural richness and proximity to the route. The trail also gives pride of place to intangible cultural heritage: 12 living traditions - drawn from cantonal inventories, or deemed of great interest by the Park - are presented, each in an emblematic location. Pierre-Philippe Bugnard, for the French-language panels on built heritage, and Werner Schuwey, for the German-language panels on built heritage, provided invaluable assistance with the editorial work.
