Gorges de Court

Highlight • Gorge

If you are looking for a refreshing and scenic hike, the Gorges de Court in Berner Jura may be the ideal destination for you. This trail follows the Birse River, which has carved impressive cliffs and rock formations over the centuries. You will cross bridges, stairs and even a man-made tunnel while admiring the natural beauty of the gorge. The hike is suitable for all fitness levels and can be completed in less than two hours. Don't forget to bring your camera and a picnic to enjoy along the way!

Gorges de Court

Highlight • Gorge

3km long gorge accompanied by the Birs river. It rolls happily from Court 3km 100m downhill to Mourtier. Tarmac is good, rolls fine.

At the moment still closed to car traffic because a bridge is being repaired, but easily passable by bike.

Carved over centuries by the waters of the Birs, the walls of the Gorges de Court are now a popular destination for climbing and hiking enthusiasts.
The Birs, which has its source in Le Pierre-Pertuis and flows into the Rhine in Birsfelden, forms large gorges above and below Moutier. To pass through the Court gorge, created by the water of the Birs, a footpath is used, passing through man-made footbridges, stairs and even a tunnel. The walls carved into the Graitery rise out of the river, sometimes steeply, sometimes rather flat. And on the excursion to the Court Gorge, hikers can enjoy the coolness caused by the shade of the walls.

Collegiate Church of Saint-Germain

Highlight • Religious Site

Even if it's a bit off the beaten track, it's worth making a detour to the church to enjoy the beautiful view from the church's plateau.

The Collegiate Church of St-Germain today has the shape of a neo-Romanesque basilica. The white limestone building has been heavily damaged several times over the course of its 900-year history. It was last renovated in 1960. The church was probably built as a place of worship for canons, hence the name "Collégiale" (collegiate church). After the reform, the place of worship fell into disrepair. It was then acquired by the Reformed Church of Moutier in 1859 and has served as a parish church ever since.

The route between Moutier and Delémont is a beautiful route, with mainly decent asphalted surface but there are some places near the industrial areas where the asphalt is a bit rough but overall good a surface. Geological speaking it offers a lot of unusual rock formations creating nice backgrounds for photos. The route and following the River Birse which flows all the way to Basel.
