Small pass, ideal as a starting point for hikes

Starting from Morez, the climb is steep in parts but easier than the slog from Nyon. The scenery? Stunning all the way, especially crossing from France into Switzerland at La Cure. In March, the top (1232m) was deep in snow and freezing, so be prepared. Then it’s all downhill.. literally, through Saint-Cergue and into a twisty, brake-testing descent to Nyon, where it was warm enough for a T-shirt. One ride, two countries, skipping through seasons.

The route up from Biere on the Swiss side is a solid steady climb with a few 12% and 13% sections. Traffic is quite light and the road is excellent. The trees give some nice protection from the sun and wind. Crossing the col northwards takes you down to the Vallé de Joux on a pretty steep decent with great corners and some short straights. My brakes made sounds I have never heard before! I did this and Col de Mollendrux together for a great 80k / 1,500 m ride. Recommended.

superb and beautiful region

A tank along a quiet stretch of road

Wide road from Vallorbe, lots of traffic, the first km is pretty steep. Juraparc near the col, with some goats and cute alpacas next to the road! An easier alternative to the Mollendruz to get into the Vallée de Joux.

Pass with small kiosk
