Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice, rather easy descent with short, technical passages. Otherwise a descent to enjoy in the beautiful nature. Beautiful and highly recommended.

Riverside path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's really very beautiful, you really have to take the time to admire the panorama. It's quite popular. So drive peacefully, be courteous, give way to pedestrians and enjoy the scenery, see the beaches.

Singletrack to Lac de Joux

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Also easily feasible for gravel bikes - the MTB route to Lac de Joux. Initially on gravel roads, later on easily mobile single trails.

Le Pré de Denens

Highlight • Natural

Beautiful gravel with a feeling of being in complete isolation, lost in the Jura. Only surrounded by cows in the right season, hearing their bells.
