This last stage continues in line with the previous one, with landscapes of meadows and undergrowth typical of the Jura. The path runs along the small lake of L'Embouteilleux, then joins the famous Lion terminal. Installed in 1613, it marked the border between the kingdom of France and Franche-Comté, which then depended on... Spain! It was also a center of resistance during World War 2.

After admiring the view of the crests covered during the first day of the trek, you can continue walking on tracks, paths and small roads, in order to descend into the forest towards Lélex.
