베르너 쥐라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 산길

Beautiful view over the Seeland

There is a great debate about whether cycling is an appropriate sport in winter. If the snow and weather conditions are right, it can be quite appealing and fun. Of course, the temperatures and road conditions (salty, slippery, etc.) are an issue, as is the choice of tires, clothing and food! Compared to tours in ideal temperatures, dry ground, etc., winter rides are a completely different challenge. Once you've gotten to know it, you don't want to miss it and you find it fun. How often do you carelessly drive past a point you've already cycled to countless times, until you pay more attention to the same place in winter in snow and sunshine and take more time and discover completely new aspects of nature! This is also the case on the Col du Chasseral; either you come up from one side and go down the other, or you turn off to the hotel or even to the radio mast platform (if you haven't been up there, you haven't been to the Chasseral, that's my attitude). But the pass offers much more than just a crossing, albeit a little hidden, but that just takes some time.

Not a spectacular climb. But a beautiful rural area.

South climb from Nods with a decent gradient of 9-13%, with peaks of up to 15%. The downhill is also easy to ride, but you have to brake a lot. If you have the choice, go up the north side and down the south side to Les Savagnières dessous. It is much flatter and therefore easier on the brakes.

This hotel is located on the Col des Pontins road, a mountain pass which connects the Vallon de Saint-Imier and the Val de Ruz. From the hotel's terrace or balcony, you can admire the magnificent views of the countryside and the nearby Col du Chasseral. The hotel also has a restaurant and a pizzeria, where you can enjoy regional specialties and delicious pizzas. Hiking enthusiasts will find many trails to explore around the hotel, such as the one that leads to the summit of Chasseral, the highest peak in the Jura range.

Pass at 827m. Just below there is a source of drinking water to replenish the water supplies.

It's steep, you need to be careful when driving down, the asphalt is bad in places.
