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 Col du Marchairuz can be approached from both sides. This route starts in Bière and takes the southbound approach. After leaving the village, you cycle past fields to the hilltop. There, a long, steady climb through the forest leads to a beautiful viewpoint with a view of the Alps. The final section up to the pass is particularly scenic. Old stone walls line your path on both sides, while the surroundings become more open and panoramic. There is a restaurant at the pass.

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 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.

Very nice welcome for a break.

You'll find a nice view just under it, it looks really like a castle you would find in disney movies or cartoons with a princess to be saved.
