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.
