This is another stunning route around the lakes of the Jura Mountains. Starting and finishing in Clairvaux les Lacs the route starts by heading towards Pont de Poitte and then passes the Tour de la Meix, a beautiful village with a ruined castle. From there head across the Pont de la Pyle with lovely views from the bridge and then a short sharp climb for 4k up the other side to give stunning vies over the lakes. The road then drops off the mountains into Clairvaux again.
The first section runs along the river Birs to Delémont and presents no particular difficulties.
The second stage leads from the Valley of Delémont to the Franches-Montagnes, with a difference of around 500 m in altitude between the two regions. The route passes through the village of Undervelier followed by the Gorges of Pichoux, a picturesque place where nature is still preserved.
Don't miss: Bellelay, the home village of Tête de Moine cheese and its abbey-church, as well as Les Genevez with its rural museum.
