Arrival to Olten
Olten – Solothurn
From Olten, over small Jura foothills, past the former patrician seat of Waldegg Castle, to the baroque town of Solothurn.
Solothurn – Neuenburg
Bielersee wine abounds on its northern shores, the Petersinsel beckons you to stop and relax, the Zihlkanal leads to Lac de Neuchâtel. After charming Neuchâtel, the scene is interlaced with vineyards, wide fields, narrow wine villages and castles.
After the charming town of Neuchâtel, vineyards, wide fields, narrow wine-growing villages, castles and châteaux alternate with noisy motorway landscapes and quiet shorelines where the lake invites you to bathe.
From Yverdon through the Plaine de l’Orbe. Roman mosaics on the slopes, the Romanesque abbey church in Romainmôtier is serene. Your calf muscles are on fire but lovely deciduous forests soothe your soul.
Montricher – Genève
The isolated terrace above Lac Léman boasts an impressive panorama with the mighty snow-covered Mont Blanc. The natural idyll of Marais de la Versoix lies hidden, before you suddenly arrive in cosmopolitan Genève.

Tour character
Actually, an easy tour, but the foothills of the Jura do have occasional climbs. Some traffic around the cities of Biel, Neuchâtel and Geneva, but otherwise an extremely scenic route on little used roads.
