High-end treehouses 10 minutes from Switzerland

10 minutes from Switzerland, a preserved natural environment awaits you

Cabanes des Grands Reflets are located in Joncherey, in the Territoire de Belfort, a 10-minute drive from the Swiss border and about an hour's drive from Basel. The estate spans 20 hectares around Verchat pond in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

For Swiss travelers looking for a nature getaway without hours of driving, this is a place to remember. The change of scenery is immediate, the distance, minimal.

‍

25 cabins, each with its own identity

The estate features 25 cabins spread across three distinct environments: perched in trees, set on stilts, or floating above the pond. Each cabin is unique, designed to blend into its surroundings without altering them.

In terms of comfort, the cabins are equipped according to their type: some feature a private Nordic bath. The Lov'nid cabins are designed for romantic getaways, while family cabins are for groups or those with children.

The estate also offers brunch, aperitif, and dinner baskets prepared with products selected from local producers in Territoire de Belfort and Franche-Comté. You can dine on your terrace, facing the pond, without having to leave the estate. Massages and wellness treatments are available by reservation to complete your stay.
