If you are looking for an adventure in the Swiss Jura, you should try the Tichodrome Via Ferrata. This is a safe climbing route that follows natural ledges along a rocky cliff overlooking the Val de Travers. You'll need some agility and a good sense of altitude, as some parts of the course are very exposed and require you to hang from a loose cable. The difficulty level is K4-, which means it is suitable for experienced climbers and children over 14 years old. The route is 550 meters long and takes approximately one hour. You'll be rewarded with stunning views of the valley and the chance to spot the tichodrome, a rare and colorful bird that nests in the area. The via ferrata is closed from January 1 to June 30 to protect the bird's breeding season.

550m traverse VF grade C(+) - one minor overhang and some loose wires which makes the route tricky when wet. Children friendly, parking not far away, takes about 1h. Nice views from a few mins up the hill at the end. Closed in Winter to July for bird nesting. Nice views of Val de Travers. Do the Areuse Gorge afterwards...

Obviously an interesting via ferrata but is closed to the nesting birds. Please respect the signage when entering.
