Today we're riding almost exclusively on newly constructed bike paths, partly on a former railway line; and through the wonderful green landscape, perfect!
Our destination is Lac Chaleine – the largest natural lake in the Jura. On the southern shore, you'll find shady swimming spots and picnic benches where you can comfortably bear the heat.
