Designed by Mario Botta, the Tower stands out proudly from its verdant setting. This hike will enable you to discover a 360° panorama of the Alps stretching as far as the Ballon d’Alsace!

''A great day of hiking that’s starts in Moutier, a city renowned for its precision industry. We leave the city to go up a forest trail that leads us to Mario Botta’s “Tour de Moron”. We take the time to have a little picnic, making the most of the view at the top of the tower. After the breathtaking show, we continue our walk up to Bellelay where we visit the Museum of La Tête de Moine. ''
