Arrival to Saignelégier
The route leads over the lush green pastures of the Franches Montagnes to Mont Soleil with its numerous impressive wind-power plants and internationally-famous solar energy plant. Your destination is the watch city of La Chaux-de-Fonds.
After a steep ascent, the route runs down to Saut du Doubs, where the river plunges spectacularly into the depths. From the lonely Lac des Brenets the stretch leads to Le Locle and ends in the Val de Travers of absinth fame.
After a long ascent to Le Soliat, it’s worth making a detour to Creux du Van, a unique, imposing cliff arena. The route continues over the «Balcon Vaudois» (Vaud terrace) with stunning views of Lac de Neuchâtel and the Vaud Alps.
Below the rocky Auguilles de Baumles, the route crosses a lonely region with many bunkers from World War II. The last ascent leads into the Vallée de Joux, a true gem with a wealth of flora and two lakes!
Vallé de Joux – Nyon
The stage runs through pine woods to Col de Marchairuz, the views over Lac Léman will reward you for your uphill effort. A final descent leads along the Jura ridge to the vineyards of the Lac Léman region.

Tour characterstic
Even though the trails are not as rough as in the Alps, the Jura sometimes offers more challenging passages. Occasional trails and technical passages make this tour interesting even for experienced bikers. Beginners need some endurance and courage. The constant up and down of the Jura hills requires good physical condition. A top route scenically with only a few short connecting sections on tarred roads. This tour can be recommended only to a limited extent with E-MTBs, as rotary gates have to be passed on the way on some days.
