The road leading up from Moutier to Court is on a well travelled road. The road is in decent condition with a few rough spots but nothing dramatic. There are also a lot of places to pull over at the side of the road to get out of traffic. The rock formations in the gorge are beautiful and nice to stop and take a few pictures.

Spectacular valley entrance

Highlight • Gorge

The entrance to the Birs Gorge, which can be enjoyed directly from Moutier, is really worth a visit. The white limestone cliffs that form the valley walls here stand like gigantic watchtowers, and with the pines clinging to their shoulders, they might as well be found in southern France on Mont Ventoux.

Gorges de Court

Highlight • Gorge

3km long gorge accompanied by the Birs river. It rolls happily from Court 3km 100m downhill to Mourtier. Tarmac is good, rolls fine.

At the moment still closed to car traffic because a bridge is being repaired, but easily passable by bike.

Carved over centuries by the waters of the Birs, the walls of the Gorges de Court are now a popular destination for climbing and hiking enthusiasts.
The Birs, which has its source in Le Pierre-Pertuis and flows into the Rhine in Birsfelden, forms large gorges above and below Moutier. To pass through the Court gorge, created by the water of the Birs, a footpath is used, passing through man-made footbridges, stairs and even a tunnel. The walls carved into the Graitery rise out of the river, sometimes steeply, sometimes rather flat. And on the excursion to the Court Gorge, hikers can enjoy the coolness caused by the shade of the walls.

Church of Court

Highlight • Religious Site

Located at the eastern end of the village, the church was built in neo-Gothic style between 1861 and 1864. The facade consists of light limestone. Inside, the building presents itself as a hall church with a vaulted wooden ceiling and a polygonal chancel. The church has different windows: pointed arch windows, round windows and - on the bottom floor of the tower - biforia. The furnishings also date from the 19th century.
