Mont Crosin (1,227 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Mont Crosin is one of the highest peaks in the Bernese Jura. The ascent already begins when you come from the south (VILLIERS), at the entrance to the village with a steep ramp to the center of the village. Now you follow the road to TRAMELAN and the ascent runs in the wooded ascent over 5.7 kilometers with an average of 7%. At the top you can see the Jura in the direction of TRAMELAN. There are quite a few motorbikes on weekends, but highly recommended.

Col du Chasseral

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This is where the 1.5-kilometer final sprint to the highest point of the Chasseral begins. You can really push yourself to the limit, as only 100 meters of elevation gain await you in these 1,500 meters.

Hotel Chasseral

The hotel is not far from the summit with its striking radio tower. Whether you want to go on a long hike or a leisurely stroll, the hotel is the ideal starting point - especially for a visit to the summit of the Chasseral.

Descent from Mont Soleil to Saint-Imier

Highlight • Trail

Between the trees, the Chasseral impresses with its rock faces. The descent is very fast, the road is rather bad. Please be careful!

View of the Vallon de Saint-Imier

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is worth taking the few steps to the viewpoint to enjoy the panorama over the Saint-Imier valley with the Chasseral.

Mont Soleil Wind Turbines

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful view of the Chasseral and its antenna on one side, gravel tracks as far as the eye can see on the other. An ideal place to get lost uphill and downhill, in the middle of sublime landscapes.
