The Risoux forest, or Risoud forest (a form sometimes used in Switzerland), is a Franco-Swiss forest massif of the Jura Mountains, located in the department of Jura and the canton of Vaud and extending over 22 km. Its area, density and geographical situation have given rise to numerous legends, and it has been the setting of several notable historical episodes. On Swiss topographic maps, the Swiss part of the forest is called "Grand Risoux".
