The Old Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

An old railway line converted into a road bike. The tunnel is quite long, lighted and with a good coating. To cross without hesitation!

Unfortunately we only drove this section, but a fantastic route on an old railway line in the Jura between Lons-le-Saunier and Châtillon. Perfect asphalt and some illuminated tunnel routes.
