We were unfortunate with the weather - our intention had been to take several hikes around the Les Rousses area, but once the temperature dropped from the mid-30s (on day 2) it then started to rain with heavy downpours and thunder storms, meaning that hiking was not really an option. Unfortunately, without a car in the rain in August (with many businesses on holiday), there isn't that much to do in Les Rousses itself - the Fort des Rousses is great, but you do need reasonable weather for the other outdoor activities. We also had to arrange transport as we don't drive, and the local taxi service is limited (book well in advance if you need a taxi). But the walk to the lake is lovely as is the walk up to the Roche Blanche (and I think the hike to Le Noirmont would also have been great had we been able to complete it or see anything....).

Les Rousses is at the ideal altitude for body regeneration (1000-1500). Beautiful green landscapes. Close to rural activities (cows breeding). Numerous restaurants available at a good price. Huge spaces for everyone. Walks available around the lake. Swiss country reach at 2 km. It's a location I'm used to go over and over without ever getting bored. Hotel Restaurant du Mont Saint-Jean (Golf) is a very nice place to go for Hotel AND restaurant ! Planted in the countryside...

Les Rousses is a fantastic centre for day walking. There are dozens of well marked routes of various length and for different abilities. Just buy the walking map from the Office of Tourism and you are ready to go. I have no car and had enough walks for a week. If you have a car the possibilities are endless. Some of those hills are really steep so have fun! There is a good mix of open and forest walking.
