Description

470 kilometers, nearly 6,000 meters of climbing, and three countries in four days: this bikepacking loop from Freiburg through the Swiss Jura to Lake Neuchâtel and back skips the fluff and delivers pure, varied riding.

No sugarcoating—just solid tarmac, challenging key sectors like Vue des Alpes, and quiet border roads. It is a route built for riders who demand raw and highly accurate terrain.A free Rogonneur account unlocks full access to the complete GPX files, detailed elevation profiles, and curated POIs for this Jura loop, eliminating any logistical guesswork for the next big ride.
