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.

Perfect Photo Spot

When I went up there were works on the road, but these were temporary

The town of Morges lies not far from Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva, overlooking the majestic Mont Blanc. It's a fantastic base for exploring the magnificent landscape. With its impressive castle, which houses several museums, Morges is considered a cultural hotspot. Its charming streets and alleys, as well as the Tulip Festival, which takes place from April to May, attract an international crowd every year. A market is held in the heart of the old town, in the pedestrian zone on the Grand Rue, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The village of Saint-George is nestled in a typical Jura environment. Its name refers to the prince of Cappadocia who, according to legend, freed a city or a princess by defeating a dragon. The myth explains the presence of the creature on the village's coat of arms.

Beautiful small town in the Vaudois Jura, with many old buildings. The villages are the starting point for outdoor activities, in summer and winter. The setting is spectacular, and you can enjoy the superb views of Lake Geneva and the Alps.

There are no cars, although the cantonal road is very busy and narrow. On the other hand, it climbs hard!
