Birs Valley Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

This cycle route which follows the Birs Valley is full of magnificent surprises. This is so little automobile traffic in this area and this cycleway is on very smooth asphalted surface with no bumps or potholes, excellent for climbing and then descending at a high speed with out the fear of hitting a pothole.

Sornetan Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sornetan Temple is the most original 18th-century temple surviving in the Bernese Jura. It was built between 1708 and 1709 to replace the village church of Sapran, which was abandoned after a plague epidemic, and restored in 1965 by Charles Kleiber in collaboration with Hans von Fischer. In 1963 the church and its surroundings were classified as historical monuments. It is a single-hall church, typical of the architecture of Calvinist temples, which serves as a cross hall. The importance of the church lies in the fact that the original arrangement of the pulpit and pews has been preserved.

A climb (or descent) at its finest

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The little-traveled road from Perrefitte up to Les Ecorcheresses at 920 meters offers an excellent opportunity to get to the Gorges de Sorne west of Souboz. The slope is pleasantly balanced and only pulls a little on the long home straight shortly before the end. Since the surface is in perfect condition (08/2019), it is also possible to drive downhill - if you like to drive faster than 70 kilometers per hour, this is the right place.
