  • Difficulty:
Bet­ween Basel and Lake Gen­e­va, the undu­la­ting moun­tain ran­ges of the Jura are home to mys­te­rious, off-the-bea­ten-track land­scapes that cap­ti­va­te every tra­ve­ler. When you think of the Jura, you dream of spar­se fir forests, lonely pla­teaus, gra­zing hor­ses and spec­ta­cu­lar view­points. But the Jura also includes the gran­ary of Ajoie, the Doubs val­ley with the jewel of St. Ursan­ne, La Chaux-de-Fonds with its che­cker­board street pat­tern, the bust­ling Val de Tra­vers, the caves of Vall­or­be, the enchan­ting Lac de Joux, the world of luxu­ry watch­ma­kers and, final­ly, the magni­fi­cent wine-gro­wing regi­ons along Lake Geneva.

Additional information

Tour cha­rac­ter
The Jura rou­te is some­what more deman­ding in terms of topo­gra­phy and is aimed at spor­ty cyclists. It has an almost “exo­tic” cha­rac­ter and leads through litt­le-known land­scapes in the spar­se­ly popu­la­ted bor­der regi­on with France. Lar­ger clim­bs can usual­ly be tack­led by train or chair­lift with bike trans­port. The tour also leads across secluded pla­teaus, some with spec­ta­cu­lar views over the Swiss Pla­teau and into the high Alps (Fran­ches-Mon­tagnes, Bal­con du Jura vau­dois, Val­lée de Joux, Parc natu­rel régio­nal Jura vau­dois). The rou­te is almost enti­re­ly asphal­ted and is the­r­e­fo­re ide­al for racing bikes. For tho­se who pre­fer a more lei­su­re­ly approach, an elec­tric bike is recommended. 
Arri­val
By car: From Ger­ma­ny via the A5, from Switz­er­land via the A3 or A2. By train: Infor­ma­ti­on on train con­nec­tions can be found at www.sbb.ch. Hotel trans­fers from/to the train sta­ti­on are arran­ged by yours­elf. By pla­ne: Basel has its own air­port. The nea­rest inter­na­tio­nal air­ports are Zurich approx. 90 km, Stutt­gart approx. 260 km and Frank­furt approx. 320 km. On request, we can orga­ni­ze trans­fers from the air­port to the start­ing point of the tour.

Note
Tou­rist tax, if due, not included in the tour price. 
Can also be boo­ked as a short version
This tour has been desi­gned with a pre-night (tour start on day 2) and a post-night (one more night at the end of the tour befo­re the jour­ney home the next day) to ensu­re arri­val and depar­tu­re wit­hout time pres­su­re. Howe­ver, you can also book this tour in a 2‑day shorter ver­si­on (direct arri­val and depar­tu­re), in which case the first and last nights are omit­ted and the cor­re­spon­din­gly saved over­night stays redu­ce the total tour pri­ce. This ver­si­on can­not be boo­ked online — we will be hap­py to inform / book you by e‑mail or telephone. 
Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.
Insu­ran­ces
Tra­vel can­cel­la­ti­on insu­rance inclu­ding tra­vel inter­rup­ti­on insu­rance is recom­men­ded in any case. Infor­ma­ti­on can be found at: https://www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/reiseversicherung
7‑day care­free number
No mat­ter how well plan­ned a trip is, in rare cases unex­pec­ted things hap­pen. At such times, it’s nice to have someone you can rely on on site. For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emergency.
