Le Pont

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty village to the north of Lac de Joux, right on the water's edge with its boats and its beach. Note that it is one of the rare places in the heart of the Jura that is sheltered from the north winds.

On this relatively flat sector between L'Isle and Bière you ride at the foot of the Jura with a magnificent view of the Alps. Not to be missed if you are in the area!

Col du Marchairuz (1,449 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This route promises some great bike rides. You will also have the pleasure of experiencing a 12% slope on the 800 meters of the climb from Bassins. Traffic is rare, so you will have the opportunity to take a break at the restaurant at the Col Marchairuz.

Col du Marchairuz from Le Brassus

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The ride up the Col du Marchairuz is a truly stunning landscape. From the Vallé de Joux and the village of Le Brassus, the initial climb is somewhat steeper, through beautiful Jura forests and meadows to a wide intermediate plateau. There, the road runs in a perfectly straight line. Perfect for preparing yourself for the short, tough final climb to the pass at 1,449 meters. A restaurant awaits you at the top of the pass, open Wednesday to Sunday. To get a view of Lake Geneva, you'll have to descend slightly on the other side, as the trees are in the way.

Lac de Joux

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful mountain lake in the Jura. Can be cycled around by bike. With me there was unfortunately torrential rain, the circumnavigation I had to cancel.
