This superb road is an idyllic interlude for cyclists. It runs along a strip of tarmac (sometimes a little gravelly but very passable) in the middle of a typical Jura landscape. Cows, black spruce trees, fir trees, and rolling meadows accompany you on this little-used section.

Road cycling

One of the most beautiful roads in the Jura, with little traffic and good asphalt. A great climb leads up here from the south. The descent towards Nyon is also great!
