Andelnans: Routes, Nature and the Ronde du Bosmont

Planning a trip to Andelnans can be based on different time frames: the FrancoVéloSuisse is a regional route, walking times are given for two hiking trails, and the Ronde du Bosmont takes place on Easter Monday. Route details, approximate walking times and the event date help you organise activities around the purpose of your trip.

Cycling route through Andelnans

The FrancoVéloSuisse is a 40-kilometre greenway connecting Belfort, Delle and Porrentruy in Switzerland. Between Danjoutin and Sevenans, the route passes through Andelnans. The 40 kilometres refer to the entire route, not just the section through the municipality. If you include Andelnans in your cycling plans, check the exact route before setting off, as routes may change over time.

Hiking trails by distance and walking time

In the Froideval sector, the Circuit du Grand Bois is a marked hiking trail of local importance. It is three kilometres long and takes about an hour on foot. The Circuit Forêts et Canal is a ten-kilometre hike with a walking time of about three hours. The Circuit Forêts et Canal leads from Leupe along a marked trail to Andelnans, then crosses the municipality and exits in the direction of Danjoutin. This gives you two specific time frames to plan your hikes. The approximate walking times differ by around two hours, and the routes by seven kilometres.

Meadows and species at Bosmont

A site description from December 2019 locates the Andelnans meadows at the Bosmont locality, in the northeast of the municipality, between the D23 and a residential area that had recently been built at the time. A total of 27 butterfly species were recorded at the Bosmont site in Andelnans in 2019. The survey from that year also notes the presence there of the plant grand polycnème (Polycnemum majus), which is classified as endangered (EN) on the Franche-Comté Red List. This brings together a specific count of butterflies observed in 2019 and the regional conservation status of a plant species.

Ronde du Bosmont on Easter Monday

The Ronde du Bosmont is an annual ten-kilometre trail race organised by volunteers from Andelnans and Danjoutin. It is open to everyone and takes place between Andelnans and Danjoutin every Easter Monday. As the exact date depends on Easter and event dates and arrangements can change, check the announcement for the relevant year before travelling. Easter Monday is the key date for planning.
