ドレモンの峠・トップ5

The pass appears unspectacular, but those who take the time for a short break can admire the southern Jura mountain ranges and the gentle hills to the north through the hedge.

The very quiet pass from Beinwil to Montsevelier is one of the few options for crossing the hills of the Laufental valley towards Delémont if you want to avoid the busy, flat road along the Birs river. The alternative route is via the Passwang and Scheltenpass. The only drawbacks are a short, rough section of gravel at the very top and a few inexperienced farm dogs (be careful at Ober Bös and Le Greierlet), but otherwise it's a very pleasant little Jura mountain pass road.

The Welschgätterli is a mountain pass between Montsevelier in the canton of Jura and Erschwil in the canton of Solothurn. Its summit is at an altitude of 810 meters above sea level, directly on the border between the two cantons. A yellow-marked hiking trail leads over the pass, connecting the two villages. You can also hike past the Welschgätterli on the Chemin du Val Terbi, which takes you on a circular route over the heights around Montsevelier. From the summit of the pass, the hike to Montsevelier takes about half an hour and to Erschwil around 40 minutes.

Welschgätterli, a "to-do" in the region! 😍

From Boécourt you have the option of cycling up to La Caquerelle (852m). Over 3.5km you have to overcome 250m of elevation with a medium gradient of 4-5%, with small peaks of 8-10% after leaving Boécourt. You roll past the Carrière "La Malcôte" quarry, where you can see the impressive layers of limestone. Further on, after the village of La Malcôte, you have a beautiful view of the wide countryside.

Wonderful foresight on the top of the pass between Lucelle and Delemont

The weather was very nice and very warm on both sides...😉

Immediately after Mervelier, the ascent to the Scheltenpass begins with the narrow passage between rock faces.
