Ascent to Col du Marchairuz through the forest

Highlight • Climb

We leave the road, the cars, and enter the forest to climb towards the pass via the hiking trails. It's arduous, but worth it!

Hôtel-Restaurant du Marchairuz

Highlight • Restaurant

Nice hotel with a good restaurant. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa (Spain) to Switzerland and can highly recommend the hotel.

This route promises some great bike rides. You will also have the pleasure of experiencing a 12% slope on the 800 meters of the climb from Bassins. Traffic is rare, so you will have the opportunity to take a break at the restaurant at the Col Marchairuz.

Saint-George Village

Highlight • Settlement

The village of Saint-George is nestled in a typical Jura environment. Its name refers to the prince of Cappadocia who, according to legend, freed a city or a princess by defeating a dragon. The myth explains the presence of the creature on the village's coat of arms.
