Reports highlight various hiking routes and natural sites across Switzerland and France. In Switzerland, a trek on the flanks of Mont Rouge reaches altitudes of 2,500 meters, providing views of alpine lakes such as Gouille Rion and opportunities to observe wildlife like griffon vultures and nutcrackers. Recent updates note that the Thyon region trek also features the Gouilles d’Essertze lake. Additionally, an alternative route to the Tour de Sénèque is available, starting at the Col de Santa Lucia; this well-maintained trail follows a watershed ridge with views of the Luri valley, the island of Elba, and occasionally Italy.

In France, the Sentier du Bois Fradin in Aizenay offers a 10.20 km path that currently requires a temporary diversion. Furthermore, a shaded forest walk near Anould leads to the Roche du Sphinx at an altitude of approximately 560 meters, featuring a picnic area and views over the town of Anould and the Meurthe Valley.
