About Les Emibois

Les Emibois is a hamlet of Muriaux, a commune of under 500 people in the Franches-Montagnes district at around 950 metres, where dairy farming and cattle breeding are the mainstays. Most of the land is farmland and more than a third is forest. The hamlet has a request stop on the metre-gauge line between La Chaux-de-Fonds and Glovelier, with trains every hour. Neighbouring Saignelégier, the district seat, has an ice rink, a cheese dairy and the Étang de la Gruère bog reserve within its boundaries. The homes here are for two, and most have a sauna.

Is Les Emibois right for you?

Best for: Couples wanting a sauna and quiet upland pasture
Not for you if: You are travelling as a family or group, since the homes here sleep only two.
