美しい湖ですが、残念ながら公共にアクセスできる場所は数か所しかありません。

Small pass, ideal as a starting point for hikes

There is a lending library near by, and you can find a Camino De Santiago stamp hidden in a niche. You also have two or three fountains to get fresh water.

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.

A departure from Lac des Rousses towards Le Pont and back. A not-too-difficult outing of 62 km and 450 m of elevation gain.

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.
