Jura Bike

A classic traverse of the Jura mountains, this collection strings together a long, rolling ride through forests, ridgelines, and quiet valleys. Expect a real mix under your wheels: mostly forest tracks and quiet roads, plenty of gravel and other unpaved sections, with shorter stretches of asphalt and the odd cobble or short stair push. It’s a route for riders who like adventure more than bike paths.

There’s serious climbing and descending along the way, so bring low gears and a steady pace. A hardtail MTB or sturdy gravel bike with wide tires is ideal. Services can be spaced out in places, so plan water, snacks, and layers—weather on the ridge can change fast.

Ride it end-to-end over several days or cherry-pick stages for a solid day out. Either way, you’ll get big views, quiet corners, and that wild Jura feel without too much traffic. If you’re into long mixed-surface rides with a mountain vibe, this one’s a keeper.
