On a terrace above Lake Saint-Point, between water and forest, the village of Malbuisson stretches for two kilometers between Vézenay, a formerly separate village, and the forest of "La Fuvelle". At the beginning of the 20th century, Malbuisson saw a significant expansion with the development of tourism, made possible by the construction of a railway line named the "Tacot" between Pontarlier and Foncine. Then classified "station climatérique" (alt. 900 m), Malbuisson became a pleasant destination for the rich people of Pontarlier and Besançon, but also for Parisians. Since then, the economy of the village has developed mainly around tourism and continues by offering:
- Nordic skiing, Mountain bike trails, hiking or snow shoe excursions in the surrounding mountains
- boating, pedal boats, fishing and swimming in the lake
- hotel establishments and restaurants, and shops offering local products
- nature reserves
Malbuisson lies 15 km (9.3 mi) south of Pontarlier on the Lac de Saint-Point.
