Small pass, ideal as a starting point for hikes

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.

Thanks to its moderately steep roads, the Col du Mollendruz is one of the Jura passes that's more enjoyable than strenuous. From L'Isle, the climb begins with a long stretch through meadows, with the second section mostly in the forest.

If you're looking for peace and quiet in the Jura mountains, a drive up the ridge of Mont Tendre is just what you need. The narrow road winds its way through most of the forest up to the Alpage, where a magnificent panorama of the Lake Geneva region and, on the other side, the Vallé de Joux awaits.

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.

Pass with small kiosk

The church tower of Saint-Etienne was once an integral part of the fortifications. Easily recognizable by its solid construction and the loopholes on the sides. In the tower passage there is an interesting information board stating that Wolfgang Amadé Mozart and his family stopped in Moudon in 1766 on their journey through Switzerland.
