Spectacular valley entrance

The entrance to the Birs Gorge, which can be enjoyed directly from Moutier, is really worth a visit. The white limestone cliffs that form the valley walls here stand like gigantic watchtowers, and with the pines clinging to their shoulders, they might as well be found in southern France on Mont Ventoux.

This valley entrance is actually impressive, definitely worth a photo!3km long gorge accompanied by the Birs river. It rolls happily from Court 3km 100m downhill to Mourtier. Tarmac is good, rolls fine.At the moment still closed to car traffic because a bridge is being repaired, but easily passable by bike.Carved over centuries by the waters of the Birs, the walls of the Gorges de Court are now a popular destination for climbing and hiking enthusiasts.
The Birs, which rises in Le Pierre-Pertuis and flows into the Rhine in Birsfelden, forms large gorges above and below Moutier. To pass through the Court gorge, created by the water of the Birs, a footpath is used, passing through man-made footbridges, stairs and even a tunnel. The walls carved into the Graitery rise out of the river, sometimes steeply, sometimes rather flat. And on the excursion to the Court Gorge, hikers can enjoy the coolness caused by the shade of the walls.More: j3l.ch/de/P33218/reisezielen/naturschoenheiten/gorges-de-court
