Road 248 has a lot of heavy traffic on it going into Tramelan, so if Tramelan is your destination, you will have to tolerate heavy traffic for 2km. After Tramelan, the traffic seems to disappear. As a conciliation prize, the asphalted road is very smooth with no rough spots.

Road 1392 is a great way to avoid the heavy traffic into Tramelan on a very smooth surface with little traffic, however this road intersects with road 248 into Tramelan which is a very busy route with a lot of traffic. No way to avoid road 248, if you are riding into Tramelan, you will have to put up with the heavy traffic for 2 km until you enter Tramelan.

It is great to sit out on the terrace of the brewery on a hot summer‘s day, sit back, enjoy a nice cold beer „Alex le Rouge“ which will not only quench your thirst but pump some life back into your tired legs.
