Col de Landoz-Neuve

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This small road which passes by the Col de Landoz-Neuve starting from Mouthe to join the Lac de Joux is very little frequented and never controlled. You will pass through Switzerland without realizing it.

Le Pont

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty village to the north of Lac de Joux, right on the water's edge with its boats and its beach. Note that it is one of the rare places in the heart of the Jura that is sheltered from the north winds.

A solo trip around the lake, with plenty of traffic, was a beautiful route. After the tour, a dip in the 22°C water temperature was a definite plus.
