Col de Landoz-Neuve
Highlight • Mountain Pass
This small road which passes by the Col de Landoz-Neuve starting from Mouthe to join the Lac de Joux is very little frequented and never controlled. You will pass through Switzerland without realizing it.

Tip by
Col du Châteleu (1,200 m)
Highlight • Mountain Pass
Well-deserved arrival at 1200m at Vieux Châteleu and its typical inn of the region, especially when coming from Grand-Combe Châteleu via Les Gras because it climbs steeply.
