Tips from the Community

July 20, 2025, Col du Marchairuz (1,449 m)

The route up from Biere on the Swiss side is a solid steady climb with a few 12% and 13% sections. Traffic is quite light and the road is excellent. The trees give some nice protection from the sun and wind. Crossing the col northwards takes you down to the Vallé de Joux on a pretty steep decent with great corners and some short straights. My brakes made sounds I have never heard before! I did this and Col de Mollendrux together for a great 80k / 1,500 m ride. Recommended.

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.

Beautiful small town in the Vaudois Jura, with many old buildings. The villages are the starting point for outdoor activities, in summer and winter. The setting is spectacular, and you can enjoy the superb views of Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Very pretty fountain in the center of the village of Bassins. Last water point before the climb via the Montagne route. If the fountain doesn't flow, don't panic, there is a tap against the right wall (see photo).
