Arrival to Balsthal
Balsthal – Delémont
This stage of the Route Verte begins in the heart of the Thal Nature Park, which is characterized by forests, vertically sloping gorges and deep ravines. You climb over the Passwang, cross the language border and reach the canton of Jura. In Délemont, the clocks are already ticking differently.
Delémont – St-Ursanne
Two more passes with breathtaking views await you before you reach St-Ursanne, the gateway to the Parc du Doubs.
St-Ursanne – Mont-Soleil
Today you will cross the Franches-Montagnes. Countless horse paddocks characterize the landscape here. On your bike you will head for Saignelégier and shortly afterwards reach the sunny heights of Mont-Soleil. In the Chasseral Regional Park, you will ride between dry stone walls and pastures until you reach the unique Auberge de l'Assesseur.
Mont-Soleil – Couvet
The Chasseral rises proudly to your left, pointing the way as you descend into La Chaux-de-Fonds. Stroll through the center of the old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and pay a visit to the watch museum. Then pedal steadily up and down into the Val-de-Travers.

Tour character
A challenging tour along the chain of hills of the Jura. The tours lead mostly on little used side roads. Only in the urban centres is a little more traffic to be expected. Because of the sometimes challenging climbs, we recommend that you tackle the tour with an electric bike. The "pleasure variants" offer shorter stages and are less strenuous than the original route. The Route Verte mostly follows the signposted routes of Veloland Schweiz. In the cantons of Jura, Neuchâtel and Vaud, orientation is easy; before that, the different routes change several times a day.
