Mont Crosin is one of the highest peaks in the Bernese Jura. The ascent already begins when you come from the south (VILLIERS), at the entrance to the village with a steep ramp to the center of the village. Now you follow the road to TRAMELAN and the ascent runs in the wooded ascent over 5.7 kilometers with an average of 7%. At the top you can see the Jura in the direction of TRAMELAN. There are quite a few motorbikes on weekends, but highly recommended.

Climb to Col de Pierre Pertuis

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Easy 6-7% climb to the Col de Pierre Pertuis at 827m. It also rolls very well downhill, although you have to look at the fallen stones on the road!

Col de Pierre Pertuis

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Pierre Pertuis is an important pass in terms of traffic, which connects the main Jura traffic axis from Biel to La Chaux-de-Fonds with the Tavannes-Delémont-Basel traffic axis. In addition to the current facts, it is a mystical place that already played a very important role in Roman times. Today the 'pass' is no longer so important for traffic due to the Jura motorway that was completed in the 0s and it has become quiet around it - it is all the more worthwhile to visit it.

Christ the King Church, Tavannes

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Christ the King in Tavannes is notable for its size, which is unusual for the area, and its consistently rectangular design. It stands above the road to Tramelan on the Rue du Général Voirol with the entrance façade facing a wide forecourt. The south-east gable end with the entrance hall is set lower towards the ridge of the roof, while the gable roof over the chancel is hipped.
