In a few words

Embark on an adventure along the wild ridges of the Jura Mountains , following a north-to-south route through the heart of an authentic and unspoiled mountain range. Each stage reveals a bountiful natural landscape, where wild orchids , gentians , and fir forests flourish, providing a discreet refuge for chamois , foxes , and, for the luckiest, the capercaillie . As you hike along the heights, be awestruck by the spectacular panoramas of the Alps and Lake Geneva . This journey is also an immersion in Jura culture , through charming villages where time seems to stand still. This grand traverse combines serenity , natural beauty , and a sporting challenge , for an active holiday at the rhythm of the mountains.

The highlights

  • A route that crosses the highest point of the mountain range
  • Unique landscapes and cuisine
  • Breathtaking views of the Alps
